So I was walking in the Tower.

I was watching guardians run around, sprinting to get things done quickly and noticed. Nobody's walks to places or looks around the Tower to appreciate all the beauty there is. It's really a relaxing place to sit down and watch the sun fall over the traveler. How we can look at the water on the ground and vines hanging from the ceilings. I didn't pay much attention but there is a lot of detail in the Tower. So I spend about ten minutes or more if I have nothing to do just looking down at the city and appreciating how wonderful a game Bungie made for us. Thanks Bungie for the wonderful times I've had and friends I've made in this game. Edit 1. Didn't expect this many people to see this. Edit 2. I get this game has been out a long time but I've been playing since the beta. I really enjoy all the detail put into it.

  • I did, over two years ago. I've seen all I care to see in the tower. Unless they bring another event in and change the way the tower looks, I won't change that behavior. Even then I'll get tired of it before too long.

  • Three years ago I'm pretty sure I did take time to admire everything

  • It is a great game. It is a beautiful game. I do thank bungie for bringing us this game. I've had loads of fun with it. But I've looked at the tower. Fxck the tower. I looked it over in year one, when they first told us it was a ten year experience, and I went and looked at all of the doors and seemingly expansive areas that would one day house new vendors and quest tables. I thought "man, one day this big courtyard in here will be full of NPC's when the future DLC's get here! Imagine how many doors will open up into new rooms or areas!" And none of that shit happened. The queen's emissary showed up like once in the courtyard. Then she couldn't be bothered returning. Saladin showed up too, about once a month or so. When he left, one of the frames locked the stupid door at the top of the stairs and was like "Oh, no... no there isn't anything else to see up here." Now Saladin doesn't even visit anymore, and the courtyard is open so we can enjoy its emptiness. Now we can take in all those little places where they could have put kiosks or vendors but didn't. Then Eris got here. I was like, "Oh shit! She'll probably have her own dark little room or something! And I'll walk in and she'll be studying some hive husks and walking around talking to herself!" Nope. She tied her ship to the railing and stood in the weirdest possible spot. Then Oryx came and they moved her... to her own room? No. To the bottom of the fxcking stairs so that even after you've murdered Oryx and Crota a million times over she can still mutter "Something, Something, something, dark side" as you walk by. None of the NPC's have moved from their places. For a guy named "the Speaker" he sure hasn't said one single meaningful thing to us this entire time. Xur is the only one that changes position, and that's actually in a way that's more annoying than anything. Been the same dumbass puddle since the first time I sat in it. And yes, I look longingly off at the Last City, remembering all those times I read articles about Destiny, thinking how amazing it would be to walk those streets and gaze up at the huge traveler overhead. Nope. Instead, I just stare at it, also wondering if they built the other towers where you could only walk on the top floor like this one. Then came the reef. And I was all like, ooh! Sweet. I'll get to check out like, how the Awoken live, and walk around the Queen's throne room and stuff! Only for Petra to be like "No, dumbass. The social space is just this one little insignificant hangar right here. Sure there's another huge door over there, guarded by my people. Looks like it might open one day right? But you thought that about your tower and how did that go? Oh, and this guy Xur has been showing up? Said something about how it'd piss you off that you'll have to endure more loading screens to find him now that he can be at another social space". Then the iron temple came. By this time, I just accepted that social spaces were just places where you look over the edge and dream of what social spaces coulda been like. If you stand on top of Felwinter's Peak, and squint really hard? You can see some of these lights from these little towns just below. These are the lights of the small villages in the Witcher 3, each of which has more interesting shit to see and do than the three Destiny social spaces combined. Cheers. Here's to hoping Bungie learns what quest hubs are before D2.

    • Sometimes, I like to stand at the edge of the balconies and railings, and just appreciate the background, the city below the tower, and of course, the skies around the Traveler. But then, I just get a bit sad, because I'll wanna go down into that city, but I can't :(

      • Well, I've looked at the same tower for just over two years now (since HoW) so yes I wanna get my shit, and get out. Nothing special to see personally.

      • The game has been out for over 2 years now. I've seen every centimeter of the tower and the city below several thousand times. I don't get too excited about going to the tower anymore unless there's a live event going on and it's decorated. That reminds me, does the Tower still put up the Iron Banner flags now that Rise of Iron is out? I will have to pay attention and see after reset.

          • I used to walk around the tower, explore every nook and cranny and just soak up all the detail, but that was in the early days of this game. The novelty wears off after a while. It doesn't really help that the tower hasn't really changed at all since 2014.
