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.

"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.

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.

Haaaaaa!

Nice to see that besides a couple of naysayers, everyone usually fighting over what needs to be nerfed is working on this. Very nice from the community
-
I find it odd...today's daily is the archive on Venus. Bit coincidental don't ya think??

6 commentairesYou were all good sports, especially OP and the guys @ reddit. I can't express enough how thankful I am for the time you all invest for searching for secrets...even if you come out empty. This is the best part about Destiny and what keeps me interested, little seeds of mystery Bungie and the community plant - which in turn stimulates intrigue, leading to research into subjects so obscure to daily life, but can't help feel that little bit more knowlegable at the end of the day. If we could reverse engineer the method of this community's collective mystery solving and implement it into this game...well I couldn't fathom any words for how great it would be. Was this a hoax? Definitely. But if you look into all the community research into this, there are far too many coincidences and intertwining references that if given a little bit more practical attention based on theories, could prove more rewarding than elaborate Easter Eggs.

1 commentaireModifié par nkool : 4/16/2016 12:36:33 PMI have no idea about what any of this could be or how I can contribute but this looks so fun to look and see how it progresses. Bumppity bump!
-
Bummed it was a hoax. Honestly? Not sad I fell for it. I never believed there was more to the Sleeper Simulant quest, or anything like that, so it was nice to finally have a convincing reason to go down the rabbit hole. Yesterday was a lot of fun, which is what it's all about.
-
6 commentairesDamn, this was intense! That guy Absense fooled most of us, im glad we found out of it. But still, cant see how he managed to make up all of that
-
1 commentaireHaha I knew from the very beginning you guys were searching for literally nothing. It's funny to me becuase you people got ridiculously heated if anyone mentioned to you guys Bungie was incapable of doing something like this anymore even post patch, theyre just not as creative or in touch with their fans as they say or think they are.
-
4 commentairesKnew it from the start. I'm highly doubtful a developer would ever rumour new content like that.
-
1 commentaireHoax? Did I miss something what's this guy talking about?
-
4 commentairesWait a minute. What happened?

1 commentaireCan somebody translate what this means in not nerd. Language to me so I can understand it?

25 commentairesBungie are plain stupid! When vog was released it was full of mystery, suspense and secrets We spent hours in there, exploring. Forums were littered with theories and counter theories. It kept the game alive WITHOUT any new content. But slowly it's turned into a RUN AND GUN game. Any secrets in the vog have been left behind or forgotten, as they were buried too deep or didn't exist in the first place - or become irrelevant as the game evolves. Bungie you were onto something big here, at low expense, and the community loved it! Look at the excitement this post got!! Deej / Cozmo: Thought bungie loved burying shit like this?? You seem to have lost your way? Bring back secrets and mystery - it made this game fantastic! (Bump if you agree??)
-
I just wanna say... I definitely called it!
-
1 commentaireIs he sending any messages after cozmos response?
-
I think he wants fusion rifles nerfed.

17 commentairesIt was obvious that it was a troll, who shall now be a legend for this. This was very entertaining, I had a good laugh watching this explode into odd theories and Latin!? Here's a thought, if you think so far out of the box and go so far down the rabbit hole, wearing your spinmetal foil hat that you start looking into Latin, please stop. Bungie, or any other company, would never go this far to hide something in their game. Thank you all who participated in this! May it happen again, I could use another good laugh like this. It is amazing to see so many people work together on something like this, well done on that part.

2 commentairesI'm on my way to work on ca two hours of sleep because I spent all night working on this. But it was fun. I know I'll get burned for this but I found so many interesting connections and leads that I have a hard time believing this is a hoax. Maybe Cozmo is one of the 6 that lie. People that are saying bungie isn't creative enough for this are forgetting Alpha Lupi and/or don't read grimoire. As far as the "hanging bodies" picture being an indication that it's all an elaborate trick played on us is false since we know that came from a different profile (also meaning that the possible connection to the ghost found in the strike is a dead end as well) The original is apparently gone now?

4 commentairesModifié par UnboundRelyks : 4/16/2016 4:44:11 AMA disturbing thought comes to mind. What if this never had anything to do with Destiny? What if this is indicative of something sinister? Maybe I'm paranoid. But something about this guy rubs me the wrong way. I don't like it.
-
9 commentairesWait, people actually took this word of mouth as something with validity? I stopped when I read "I received a message on the forums-"
-
No need to apologize to me. I had a blast yesterday with all of this. Of nothing else, it gave destiny evidence that we all would dive into such a mystery... if they would create one.
-
2 commentairesModifié par Black Howling : 4/16/2016 5:16:27 PMThe fact that a simple hoax potentially involving more incoming Destiny lore/mysteries caused so much excitement, and brought players together, gives us a just a sample of what could help the game out more. Not to mention how hungry the people are for more stuff to do, even with this new update. Now, here's the pure insanity on my part... Imagine if the actual company decided to do the same... Since when did too much fun become a bad thing?
-
1 commentaireWait...people actually believed this? I thought hoax was fairly obvious lol. Glad you all had fun though.
