The Tower is under siege

What if while you were playing Destiny you heard an urgent message coming from the tower? Maybe it would be from your Vanguard Mentor, maybe even from our Beloved Cryptarch. This message might come through your headset like a dying whisper, or a panicked call to arms popping up like you've accepted a patrol mission. This message would be very clear, enemies approaching, defenses failing, we need you now, we need you [u]all[/u] now. I'm talking about the ultimate community event, team up now, or understand that all could be lost. Finish your pvp game, speed to the end of your pve mission, jump to orbit, and head home. The Fallen are breaking through, The Vex are massing their attack, The Cabal are making their final stand. The Tower will fall. Unless through their strength together, the Guardians stand to protect what is theirs. Snipers to the balcony, Titans to the front, it's going to be a wild ride. It will take 24 hours to get the Tower's defenses back online, you'll respawn in the special events area where the Tower's staff will be waiting, eager to provide their services if if means saving the last beacon of light from waves of enemies stronger than any one could defeat alone. Let's win this together.

  • I would really love this event to happen as a weekly event 24 hours of pure mayhem and if you participate you will still get rewards but not as cool rewards as the ones who played 12 hours or more of the event.

  • Uh....... but the Tower is in the middle of the Last City....that would imply everything around it was laid to waste. I wouldn't mind seeing a community event set at the Wall or the Second Battle for the Twilight Gap.

    • This is such a good idea, i also think that if the darkness win, then there should be (and i hate to relate it to cod) a moab type incident where the tower gets partially destroyed, and its up to the guardians (us) to help rebuild it to its former self by completing special tasks/bounties or collect 'tower marks' which helps the trade in the tower prosper once again. These tasks will also allow Bungie gateways to create new armour/weapon rewards etc. And if the guardians win then there should also be different rewards for those who helped defend the tower ( and not those who did absolutely nothing *cough* crucible). However i think this should only take place only once or twice a year as players will have something to look too and if it happens regularly, it may become too repetitive.

    • I have heard the announcer in the tower warn of something going on before while I was running vendor to vendor. I also have been seeing ghost flying around something is going on for sure.

      • Shouldn't this be edited to add a 'feedback' tag to the OP? I think this sounds awesome. In response to the points raised about server load and only being able to have 16 players online in a single area at a time, could this be instanced and matchmade in a similar style to crucible matches? Other responders have mentioned the Earth-based crucible maps, and I was thinking you could base an event like this across all of them, plus maybe the tower too (or, even better - a new map for the foot of the tower/city streets). You have to hold objective points and fight back the enemy together, and have a timer for the map. When the timer runs out, maybe your rewards are based on whether or not you've won the encounter, then you rotate to another map. Players who win a certain number of maps in a row could go onto a special boss encounter perhaps? Just trying to think of ways that this could be made more realistic and actually implementable.

        • I would call in to work and make a speed run to the store to get junk food just to participate as much as possible. This would be the kind of event I've been dreaming of since I watched Sword Art Online!

            what if we save the cryptarch? would we get something good as a reward? i mean, im kinda tired of getting green and blue crap. maybe something that would make 3 engrams exotics? then i bet a lot of people would change their tune and say "LONG LIVE THE CRYPTARCH" until you get another green weapon [b]FROM A FU**ING LEGENDARY ENGRAM THREE TIMES IN A ROW! >:([/b]

          • Well done this the best idea i have seen. But i do think we could just offer the cyptarch to the vex as an offering to end the war, This should happen Make a poll, you have my vote

            • Urgent message from the tower: "don't stop playing the game please, we promise to put MM into the weekly heroic strikes and nightfall strikes" Until that happens they can cram it.
