I somewhat retract my statement in how j was sorry. I'm still sorry it turned out to be a hoax. But I'm not sorry for making the post or lighting this powder keg. This was the most fun and excitement I've had with destiny in a long time. Church100 got it right in that this brought the community together in a very positive manner. Some say we took this too seriously and you know what, we did. But can you blame us for having this much fun and excitement with trying to solve a puzzle that could lead to a reward and some recognition? It was a hoax, but oh man was it fun talking to all you guys and sharing any tidbit of info I got and seeing everyone go over it, share notes and come to their own hypothesis. It was fun guardians, thank you. Hope we can actually find a legit puzzle like this and get a more satisfying end to that tale. Not going to change or alter this post. That way others can see how it started and took off. Have a good weekend everyone.
So I was sent this private message on the destiny app from Absensevigil I need help in trying to figure it out. Don't know if it's a hoax or what.
[TRANSMISSION INCOMING; SENDER: RSPN;] Subroutine PTOLEMY: (ATHN PIGEON) Status Complete WARSAT//MK19/VENUS/ ATHN:RQ (=ISHTAR.ARCHIVES) =CONFIRMED

"You can hear it. But have you listened? Do not be anxious, there is no urgency- - You are not ill. The ailment of time was a only a dream. I arrived on Friday. You visit me on Saturday night. Six of them speak lies, tell you I am not here. One of the blind tells the truth. She does not consort with the warden if pleased. Only someone so vain will find flattery in mockery. This is where I wait. Please return to me."

RSPN is rasputin? I come on Friday is possibly xur maybe. Idk about visiting saturday, is the warden variks? If you check out Absensevigil profile it's a bit weird...
Edit: well it seems this has kicked off into another search for mystery and if they are truthful it seems some of you guys have recently received the message. I will be researching this weekend as much as I can. Those of you who have time I urge to research this and explore and share here. Can't wait to see what this really is, hoax or not. Just did poe with some friends and it was normal. Going to search Venus and vault and other stuff. I apologize I won't be able to update or research alot since I have other engagements. I will try to do as much as possible and report back.
Edit: good luck to everyone, idk if this is a hoax. I honestly don't know. I'm just loving how exciting this is getting haha

If anyone comes across new info or is onto something I'd love to be kept in loop whether it be pm or if you share here. I'm off this weekend so I'd love to tag along. Loot or no loot I just wanna see how it ends. Thanks, goodnight.
Edit: might be a troll. I pm last night Absensevigil and got this:

If not troll then who is this orchestra and pertaining to pack leader I recently got alpha lupi when the update came out.
New update: got this just now

New update: Church100 got this pm from Absensevigil, shortly after I received it too

This might be the last message...

Praedyth received this http://m.imgur.com/VUirDTZ
Possible troll since Absensevigil has commented here on the forum maybe???
Nvm just a dick who changed display name. Not the real Absensevigil
Edit: just got into VoG on hard. At Templar ' well. Conflix part. The vault seems to shake a little bit like tremors here and there. Don't remember if it did that before
MAJOR EDIT: just got this http://imgur.com/aRJbOM2. Does this mean it was solved???? I'll tell you if I receive anything or something happens.
Edit: as Sheri Kan pointed out it's not solved but we now have all the tools to solve it. Seems like it has to do with oracles on the daily heroic or VoG and their order or how they are destroyed with certain weapons such as Praedyth reveng and vision of confluence. Best of luck everybody.
Edit: to those claiming this is a hoax, troll or bait I want to say this. I honestly don't know. I'm not the creator of this. I got the weird messages last night and shared on reddit and made this post to see if it meant something or if it was a hoax. I'm excited and the prospect that this might be real and lead to something and also anxious at the likely chance that this is a hoax. Absensevigil could've simply handed me a match and I started a fire. I'm hopeful and skeptical. One thing I enjoy is how this has gotten the community together. Hoax or not this is fun.
And at the end of this rabbit hole it turns out to be a hoax. Welp it was fun. I would like to apologize for kicking off this powder keg only for this to end up being a hoax. I'm sorry, was really hoping it was more. It was fun. Well played Absensevigil, well played.

We should have people do this kind of thing more often. Just to excite the community like this. It's fun to watch.

Interesting

1 commentaireHey guys, it's cool to see the community back at work again on something quite interesting. While I do believe that the guys over at Reddit have it nailed with this image [url]http://imgur.com/lxULRbi[/url] being a hemispheric design, I had already started rendering something that may just be interesting at this point. I used to do a lot of work with images and sound and because of that experience, I noticed that the above image was similar to what a lot of images look like when they are in the process of being converted to sound. I took the liberty of dusting off a dead YouTube channel of mine to upload what I got when I converted the image all the way to sound. Be careful with your volumes however. I did not edit the sound at all after conversion so the volume may rise and fall at random and sometimes sharp intervals. Like I said though, I believe Reddit hit it out of the park with this one, but the sound from the image is quite interesting. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ju_GtUtcM28[/url]

5 commentairesWho would have thought that one simple posting about a message could turn into bringing the community together to unravel a mystery. Good job and thank you all that has contribute to this huge undertaking.. Too bad we can only up vote a thread once. This brings back some great memories from the old B.Net forums
-
1 commentaireI knew it couldntve been real, but it was kinda fun to believe. Shouldve learned after the VoG Fiasco and the Sleeper Hoax that Bungie isnt the type of people to be this cool. at least this time they had the decency to say something to stop it :/. *angrily holds back VoG and Sleeper bitterness*

1 commentaireModifié par TrulyDontCare : 4/16/2016 6:04:21 AMDon't apologize. That was the greatest troll in the history of trolls. Whoever made that should come forward. That person is a mother-blam!-ing genius. Edit: uploaded a screenshot. I'll never forget the greatest troll in Destiny history.[spoiler]My response to him perfectly sums up how I felt throughout this. [/spoiler]

I enjoyed it while it lasted. Was so much fun to read this post. Thank-you for sharing!

2 commentairesYou have way too much free time

1 commentaireAll you had to do was backwards search the images he sent on Google to find their origin. Lmao you guys are worse than the idiots who get catfished
-
7 commentairesWow you're obnoxious. Reported for wall of text, and getting duped sucker. You have way too much time on your hands. Didn't you learn your lesson from the last time? Just play the game for what it is, and shut your mouth.
-
2 commentairesAnyone remember the Cortana emails?
-
6 commentairesI've never seen or heard anything about this till right now. If only Bungie would put more things like this in their game. This is probably the most fun anyone has had with Destiny in some time
-
2 commentairesDamn kind of upset I was working and missed out on this. Sounds like you guys had a blast with this.
-
They should hire the person who came up with it as it obviously would have been a great quest with all the folks who were into it. With Bungie losing staff soon nobody'll be able to write a riddle let alone something like this.
-
1 commentaireLol you must be a new player to think that was for real
-
2 commentairesSo todays mission was the Ishtar Archives. Coincidence.
-
12 commentaireswait you guys actyally thought that this message from a random dude was serious and an actual thing
-
3 commentairesIf bungie were smart they would turn this hoax into truth.
-
4 commentairesI'm sorry but can someone tell me what this is all about instead of having to read this guys 500 word essay....
-
Tl;dr [spoiler]Muted[/spoiler]
-
12 commentairesI know this is a hoax( maybe) but after reading this thread and it being mentioned about the archive mission. Well today's daily is the archive mission. Maybe there is something to this.
-
1 commentaireYou know, the exploring, solving riddles, and finding new things was a great part of destiny originally (I'm thinking about vog). I hope that style of game play will continue.
-
1 commentaireYou made IGN report about this on youtube. They said it could have been bungie hinting at an Augmented Reality Game. So that's enough of a reason to tip my hat off to you guys.
