[quote][b]6) Conclusion[/b][/quote]As this thread draws to a close, I'd just like to say that I speculate not because I want to tell Bungie what to do or because I'm worried that they're going to get things wrong. I have a lot of respect for their team, and I'm willing to give Bungie the benefit of the doubt until they otherwise give me reason for concern. I'm just very passionate about game design, and I feel that it's very important to develop predictions about what will come next based off of what we know. I could very easily be wrong about anything I've speculated about in this thread, a simple false assumption made near the beginning could change the way things play out dramatically. I speculate in spite of that because if I'm right, I'm right, and that's well and good, but if I'm wrong, that's a chance for my design sense to grow as I compare what was predicted to what was implemented. It's a win-win situation, and I really do enjoy articulating and sharing my perspective with the community. I imagine that this won't be my last thread about Destiny's sandbox, it's such a core part of defining who we are as heroes is this mysterious and exciting universe, and it's also very relevant to everything built on top of it. For my next topic I've been playing around with the idea of examining potential exotic weapon designs of my own creation, I'd like to explore what makes an exotic abillity strong or problematic. Though, this plan could easily change depending on what Bungie reveals between now and then, I'd love to sink my teeth into Focuses and all of their associated attributes, though I feel that we need a little more information before I feel truly inspired to write a wall about it. As always, I'd love to listen to your perspective on what you thought about my thread and topic. I'd be happy to try and clear up any questions or concerns you might have, and even if you outright disagree with me, sharing your thoughts could potentially help both of us develop a stronger understanding of this topic. Thank you for making it to the end of my thread, and until next time, keep the fires of speculation burning! ~Hylebos [b]If you would like to comment, please reply to the Original Post.
