  • For those of you who don't understand the "12" image, I'll explain. In football (American) there can only be 11 players on the field at a time. Seattle's football team, the Seahawks, who just won their first Superbowl (woot woot!), is known for their fans. Seattle's fans are called the "12th man" or "#12" for how loud and effective they are, which actually effects the team that Seattle plays.

  • I was just wondering while playing the Beta say you get attached to the Guardian you created would we have to say goodbye to our friend at the September release and start anew or will we carry over from the Beta?

    • When I read Jason Jones' comment, it made pause to reflect on where it was coming from. I believe he has a Pioneering Vision and has been constantly refining this Vision over and over for a very long time. I feel Destiny is the culmination of that Vision. I don't think it will stop with Destiny, but Destiny will be an integral part to realize that Vision. The fact that he projects a very private and reclusive image (regardless if that's how he really is or is not), and has publicly appeared numerous times to support this game speaks volumes of his expectations and confidence in his Team to realize this Vision. I feel that Halo is near and dear to him (as with all of Bungie), but it took a life of its own and he didn't want to interfere with that. (Which shows a lot of self-awareness and humbleness on his part if that be the case.) As Destiny steadily approaches, it seems by his actions and his words that this game will be the Vision he has been wanting to come to fruition (As all of Bungie has). I think about how far people will go to create a world that doesn't exist via the medium which a video game provides. It wasn't possible to do this 10 years ago, but now it seems technology, pop culture, and a passion for gaming has caught up to what Jones has been envisioning. I believe in today's world that Vision is slowly but surely starting to crystallize. I find video games are always evolving, but what Bungie is trying to accomplish has elements of romanticism (not the ryan gosling notebook kind) but of the old westerns riding off in the sunset, the discovery of long lost treasure among the high seas, and yes to boldly go where no one's gone before. The magic of taking something intangible and manifesting that into a Vision that produces an experience in which players can share in that Vision is what I hope Bungie is striving for with Destiny. I look forward to seeing that Vision come to pass Jason Jones (And all of Bungie). -MVCK

      I have a few questions about gameplay I haven't found mentioned or answered anywhere. 1) will there be ammo? From the vid it was infinite. I'm not talking about clip size I mean total stored ammo you can carry. Weapon durability? 2.) will there be consumable items that are purchased from vendors for single time use?

        Will the being Awakened or Exo have a different, if miniscule, impact on cutscenes or random dialogue compared to if we were Human?

          • I've been listening back to the Podcasts since the Jan one came out and one particular statement from Deej on weapons kinda stuck out to me: "I like the feeling that this is my gun, I've made choices that have made it what it is". So... (And yeah I know I pry won't get an answer but gotta try) does this mean when we can upgrade our weapon we are presented with choices about how to upgrade it? EG Improving the weapon's accuracy or increasing the damage it does. Would that also cover adding different components to the weapon (as displayed by The Silver Dollar Shotgun drawing board feature)? And finally how does that compare to Exotic weapons? Because at E3 last year the Thunder Lord upgrade path appeared to just be a continual progression rather than more of a branching tree of options.

              • i have no idea why I am so excited for this game. I don't play FPS. Hell, I don't even enjoy FPS (haven't even SEEN any of the Halo games!). I am, however, an avid adventurer that digs in the corners for the lost change and Cap'n Crunch in the sofa that others will not even think of looking for. Deej, I can only hope, since your answer will be evasive if I get one, that there is some inclusion of treasure outside of battle loot. Final Fantasy/Uncharted style. Since I can't hit the broad side of the virtual barn, can I expect to get good toys from the corners and from persevering to the outside of the maps?

                            • New hypothesis on the start of the beta: since 7 is their first lucky number and 12 is the second, the beta will start on July 12th (for the PS3&4 at least). Again a hypothesis, just an idea I had. But am I close?

                                Good mail sack, nice update, thanks DeeJ! I also wanted to say that everybody here needs to lay off DeeJ a bit. Last week there were some colorful comments about the weekly update. Those of you that whined like little babies need to grow up. There are ,in my opinion anyway, two main reasons we don't get ALL the details when the game is still in development. One: major thunder stealer, imagination is part of marketing and part of the fun. If they answered every single little question posted, it wouldn't be as much fun as discovering it on launch day, and for that reason I hope they keep some things from the beta, make it even better on sept 9. Two: Strategic planning, what if they put in an idea that they announced, everybody in the community got stoked for it, and then somewhere along the line they decided that they couldn't do it for one reason or another, balancing, gameplay in general, big issues, whatever the reason, they (after bowing to every info request in this hypothetical situation) would have to take time to explain why, listen to the whiners asking for it back, or badmouthing them or doubting their abilities etc. It's just a bad idea all around to detail [i]every[/i] aspect of the game before it's finished. Lastly one final topic (for anybody with enough patience to still be reading this, I applaud you), while using Halo as a reference point is a very good idea, those of you worrying about similarities...just stop. Halo under Bungie's command was amazing, but you need to trust them that this project is going to leave Halo in the dust, Bungie learned a lot with every game they made, so you can be pretty sure they're taking the good ideas, making them better, and converting the bad ideas into virtual representations called Vex, Cabal, etc. for us to obliterate when it's time for us to pick up the controller and step into our guardian's shoes. For the trolls, this will be food, for those that agree with me, this will be giving you a fuzzy feeling while you imagine a patriotic overtone in the background, for those that disagree with me and your [b][i]still[/i][/b] reading this, congratulations you've just wasted your time reading my opinion, post your lame reply and move on, thank you. [spoiler]You can have your soap box back now.[/spoiler]

                                • These updates are getting really -blam!-ing annoying. They used to generate hype, now they just aggravate. It's like that annoying rich kid in Middle School. Always bragging about having the newest, latest shit, and then he and his lackeys making fun of you for not having it as well. In the case of Bungie and Destiny; you guys aren't really releasing shit, and you're everyone under the sun play the game except for one specific demographic. The people who're actually going to be playing your -blam!-ing game. What kind of bullshit is that? Push back the Beta. Push back the release date. Then let everyone else in the -blam!-ing world play it except for the people who're going to make it possible for you all to make a living off of Destiny. These goddamn "updates" are a sad, pathetic joke. Even the "Mail (ball)Sack" answers nothing but vague words meant to tease and generate excitement, but only treating the writer as if they're an idiot and just "not in on the inside joke". Either release something of heft about the game or shut the -blam!- up. You're getting damn annoying.

                                  • For the mailsack: 1. Will we get some kind of trading system so we can trade with eachother? (i don´t mean a market hell no) Just so we can , for example drop another guardian in the team some gear. 2. Are there any activities we can attend to in the last safe city than to gear up or repair stuff? I mean it´s the point of the game to rescue the solar system but i think i need to take a break and talk to people once in a while without screaming at them because we are being ambushed by some cabal in the wild. 3. Will we get some kind of Hall Of Fame? Or some kind of museum where you can go through some very epic and big battles with a ton of guardians via some footage on a screen? 4. I know the armor and weapons we get are already good enough but will we get some real fancy looking medals , badges or trophies? I expect lots of teasing so don´t disappoint me~
