I hear rumors there's only 1 explorable location per planet confirmed by DeeJ, but that's incorrect

When DeeJ said himself "We're calling them DESTINATIONS, you go to Mars, you go to the Moon, you go to Venus, you got Earth." Do we go outside the solar system? "Not so far... we reveal everything you'll explore in the first version of the game." Where does this confirm only one explorable location for each planet? Anyone ever notice that when you're viewing the map of old Russia there is a circle to the left with 3 smaller orb objects inside the circle that look like the Earth, and it looks like it has the rotate symbol indicating you can choose to pick a different map. Also, did anyone forget the rusted land map from the crucible? That map is NOT from Old Russia, but from the Eastern Flood Zone. http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140703013311/destinypedia/images/f/f6/Rusted_Lands.png Look at the bottom it clearly says Eastern Flood Zone, Earth, confirming at least 2 different locations on Earth. People are too quick to jump the gun. UPDATE: Here you go, this is posted by Bungie, clearly shows locations outside Old Russia http://www.bungie.net/en/Destiny Go to frontier tab and view 2/3 pictures showing locations obviously not in Old Russia.

  • I'm honestly doubting that there will be more than these 4 areas at launch, but HOPING there is more. Boy do I hope there is more because some of the concept art....whoa [url]http://www.technobuffalo.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Destiny-Concept-Art-2.jpg[/url] [url]http://www.destinycheats.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/destiny-wallpaper-1920-010.jpg[/url] [url]http://conceptartworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Destiny_Concept_Art_05b.jpg[/url] [url]http://gamingbolt.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Destiny-Concept-Art-28.jpg[/url]

    • This game is going to be massive. Maybe not right at the start, but it will get there. The only way a game will last for 10 years is if they keep adding content (which they already announced 2 DLC packs). One would have to assume that within those 10 years TONS of new "DESTINATIONS" will be available to explore. As far as bang for your buck, its not unheard of to get huge worlds for only $60.... World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XI and XIV. Granted those are MMOs but you see my point.

      • Meh, even were it so, it's no big deal, really. I mean, like any other MMO, I'm sure regular content will be added; more locations, more planets, more gear, more bosses, and oh yeah! More locations! lol

        • I certainly feel like this is going to be a lot smaller than I was hoping for at launch. I was hoping for a game that would keep me busy for a good 200 to 300 hours of play. I have no doubt that they will add to it but when and how much I'm not sure. If I was to gamble on it I'd say they won't add much in terms of map size. Instead it's customizable content that they will probably add more of.

        • Could have sworn those 3 circles was actually an image of the colony rocket (you see a bunch ON the russian map), leading to some sort of Vanguard event.

          He clearly said "We revealed everything youll explore in the first version of the game," and in that same stream he says "Rusted Lands is Old Russia" At about 1:57:20 and on. http://www.twitch.tv/2old2play/b/551599375 More importantly, multiplayer maps =/= explorable locations.

          • Yeah. If you look here, Exodus Blue is in the Cosmodrome, which implies that Rusted Lands in the Eastern Flood Zone and all other locations are from actual explorable "destinations". At least I believe so.

            • http://www.bungie.net/en/Destiny#page=frontier&panel=frontier-abandoned-earth There are clearly 3 pictures on that page that show you areas that are not Old Russia. The far right one and the second one look like a forest of some sort, the third looks like an abandoned city(the Chicago zone people have been talking about?). I'd say you guys are wrong about Russia being the only "destination" on Earth. Now, as to the other planets, who knows?

                having to keep the "base game" content separate from dlc, meddling with expectations, it can be more than a little dizzying. many of you seem to have "adapted" fairly quickly to this growing trend of purposely fragmented content in lieu of a more singular, cohesive experience. this is troubling for many reason, but none more so than with every product comes the implication of a continuation of purchase, or membership, in order to glean any intelligible cohesion within the game. frankly, if they're going to design all the content within the original development cycle, just release it all in the final game and charge accordingly. for god sake, this is so fookin stoopid!

                OP, your update shows CONCEPT ART. Are you seriously hoping to gain any leverage with that? Concept art? Really? Nobody is disputing that there will be more to Earth than Old Russia. Yes, there may be missions or one time events that might take us else where. However, this does NOT mean that they are EXPLORABLE locations. Again, the only thing we have confirmed from DeeJ through the stream is that Old Russia, Mars, Venus and Moon are explorable locations. That the Easter Flood Zone is in Old Russia as well (or at least the Multiplayer map is) There is no evidence that says any of those concept art pics are explorable locations or that there is more than one per planet. There may be more they have yet to reveal, but so far, we the only evidence we have is for ONE location per planet. Your supposed confirmations are all speculation. Lets actually work with facts here. PS: We have not seen all of Old Russia, so even those can still be located within Old Russia itself.

                • I just want to point out that if each planet only has one area to explore, and each are about the size of what we had in the beta, then the whole game isn't much bigger than The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (counting the dungeons, which were huge). Not saying this won't be the case, but I would be slightly sad about that.

                      • To be fair, it could be a real misunderstanding on what DeeJ said. Let's wait for The Powers that Be, to tell us more so. Because if they haven't noticed the internet blowing up about all this stuff, the datamined and DeeJ's words, they are really...behind. Bungie needs to do some damage control though. Everything that was datamined, was done some through the beta version. Even the owner of the website said it was subject to change.

                        • If I'm the guy making this game I would love to add more area than just one. Just depends on man power and money involved which they have so here's "hoping" were all on the same page. Easy way to not get disappointed expect the worst and hope for the best. But if you wanna be successful you have to minimize the hope factor and plan to make sure it happens. Eventually we will see more for sure

                            the frontier page also mentions the "war - torn fortresses of the Twilight Gap" so with that, old Russia, and eastern flood zone, that's already 3 locations.

                            • I saw the quote if I could find it I would link it. 4 planets one destination for game release, very clear. I hope I am wrong but don't want others disappointed if they are wrong. That doesn't mean that we won't get other places on Earth, just will be in expansions, not release. Those pictures could be from the expansions cause I am sure they are close to done with them if not done, they have 2 DLCs promised. And if all other explorable areas are as big as Old Russia I think that is big enough for a FPS release in my opinion. Now my speculation, just going by intelligent guessing and if anybody knows otherwise I would like to hear. That each planet, like Earth, will have at least 5 story missions and at least 1 strike mission. If that were true that would give us 14 story levels we haven't played yet. Wouldn't surprise me if there were more.

                                  • It's more then possible it's word play 'Destinatons' could refer to planets,moons or other places that contain 'zones' or 'areas' and the wording just got mistaken.
