Everything we know of Destiny

Hey everyone I wanted to make an on going list of information that we know about Destiny so far. If you notice anything that is incorrect or mission information please let me know and I will update! [u][b]STORY[/b][/u] A large sphere shaped alien object came to our planet Earth. The sphere is known as the [i]Traveler[/i]. It's arrival sparked a golden age for humanity. During that golden age we traveled to other planets within our solar system and built massive structures on them. It was a bright and hopeful time. However that time was halted when something unknown almost completely wiped out humanity. In that time of need our protector, the [i]Traveler[/i], came to our rescue. Legend says that it sacrificed itself. Whether or not it is still "alive" or active is unknown. Humanity gathered what survivors it had left and built a city underneath the [i]Traveler[/i], leaving all previous homes and structures in ruins. An unknown amount of time later we find ourselves around the year 2700. We are beginning to venture back out into our previous worlds, both on Earth and on other planets in our solar system, only to find that we are not alone. Dangerous alien creatures occupy what once was ours, trying to find a weakness and end humanity for good. It is unknown if these same aliens were the ones who initially almost wiped us out. You play as a Guardian, protector of the city. Guardians receive power from the [i]Traveler[/i]. [u][b]GAMEPLAY[/b][/u] The game is referred to as a shared-world shooter. The vibe everyone is getting is that it will be a mix of a first person shooter and an mmo. However it is not to be mistaken as playing with hundreds of people. It is only shown to at max allow 6 players cooperatively. [u]Character Classes[/u] There are three known character classes to choose from: [u]Titan[/u]- The soldier class [url]http://bit.ly/ZnN2OQ[/url] [u]Hunter[/u]- The stealth class [url]http://bit.ly/Y4qD4i[/url] [u]Warlock[/u]- The magic class [url]http://bit.ly/YjfoCZ[/url] You can customize your character in a variety of ways. Whether it be the weapon you have or the equipment and armor you are wearing. It is also noted that stats will play a factor with your character. A Hunter class is shown to have stats consisting of energy, shields, agility, and discipline. [u]Game Modes[/u] [url]http://bit.ly/UATgbe[/url] These are seen from a section of the Destiny release ViDoc. These are only guesses as to what they are. "The City" - Home ----- Most likely the playable area where you party up with friends, select missions, and do other non-combat types of gameplay. Here is a quote from One of Swords about it: [quote]It’s one of the social spaces in Destiny, where players might be chatting, gambling for gear, or just enjoying the view. [/quote] "Chapter 3" - Shores of Time ----- Story progression missions. "Bounty" - Collect your weekly bonus - 5d 16hr 25min 13sec - (2/3 stars highlighted) ----- I assume doing a certain amount of missions will raise the amount of stars you have. Providing better rewards when redeemed. "Strike" - Random Hopper ----- Unknown / Random Hopper could be a random level select for strike. "Raid" - Depth of Darkness ----- Unknown / Depth of Darkness could be a specific level as compared to Random Hopper. "Faction Wars" - Random Hopper ----- Unknown [u]Other[/u] The game environment will constantly change. It will have a day/night cycle. [quote]... a deadly area in the Exclusion Zone guarded by the Sand Eaters. Joe scoped it out earlier, but alone at night, it was too dangerous. By day with Jason for backup, this mission is more manageable ... -One of Swords -[/quote] Alright I am going to get some sleep. I know there is more details for this and I will come back and update, possibly with links too. Again leave any information you feel needs to be in here.
