NEW 12/09: In the Director UI, at the bottom of the screen below the moon is the following hex:61 6c 72 69 67 68 74 6f 6b
This translates to 'alrightok' which is the handle of Ryan Klaverweide, one of the UI artists for Destiny.
Also, sideways along the daily and weekly stuff is: 42 65 20 44 61 76 65
This is "Be Dave" - not sure what that's all about. Dave Hollister? Any thoughts on this anyone?
Oh and at the top is: 6d 61 63 6b 79 0d 0a
Which is: 'Macky' follow by a CRLF (carriage return, line feed). Not sure who Macky is.
ORIGINAL POST: I was tooling around Mars' train station last night and saw the seemingly random message on the LED sign boards. Since Bungie has historically never done anything for no reason, I decided to see if there was more to it. The message reads:
HkhtHukyldHbiylfJvvsplKlylrKyldLaohuQlmmQlyltphoQvzoShyzSlpmTpjrZalclAohkAvkk
Using a Caesarian Shift of 19 characters, it turns into the following list of names:
AdamAndrewAubreyCoolieDerekDrewEthanJeffJeremiahJoshLarsLeifMickSteveThadTodd
Based on the credits, it looks like these are names of designers and artists (and maybe developers?) that worked on the game.
Gotta love the Easter Eggs!
EDIT:
Did anyone notice that the [url=http://assets.vg247.com/current//2014/10/destiny_jackolyte_halloween_pumpkin_head.jpg]Jackolyte[/url] head and the NPC pictured in the [url=http://static01.bungie.net/pubassets/30280/dark_below_blog_graphic.jpg]Dark Below[/url] both have three eyes? I wonder if it's related...
-
So how do we get an Easter egg and what do they do
-
-
This deserves more appreciation.
-
This is epic
-
I think the 3 eyes on the Jackolyte and Eris is the symbol of the hive. Acolytes and knights have 3 eyes. As does mask of the third man. Jackolyte was thought to give you Black Wax and can only be found by killing hive during halloween. Eris fought the hive and failed. Maybe she was cursed? Coincidence? I think not.
-
If anyone has anything they think should get checked out - let me know.
-
Jackolyte = Acolyte
-
There also appears to be some sort of geometric code on the hologram gyroscope thing by the speaker if you check the edges when it isnt spinning fast. Have yet to determine what it means though, if anything

Cool!

Is it easier to add new easter eggs to the main post or as replies?
-
Dope find, gotta love easter eggs!
-
Awesome! I actually was just looking at it and googled it to see if anyone had figured out what it meant, because you're right -- Bungie doesn't put things like that in their games for no reason! Nice work decrypting it.

the images on the screens in the ishtar commons are symbols from the marathon series

For those who aren't sure what I'm talking about, I posted a brief video here: [url]http://youtu.be/ANV6_yLbMBA[/url]

That's pretty cool. Good find!
