[b] WARNING: This post may pose a choking hazard, try not to be drinking coffee while reading [/b]
Hello! I'm looking to become more active on the forums as well as becoming a helpful figure in the community.
Want to know a bit about me?
[spoiler]My name is George, I'm 17 Years old and are studying for an extended diploma in Games development to which I will continue to University for an Bachelor of Science: Honours, I specialise mainly in Level Design as a discipline but are new to the concept, if you want to see some of my work, feel free to ask me for my portfolio.
I live in the United Kingdom in the Brighton area and work at a local leisure between college and independent study outside of working hours, in my free time I play a lot of games, mainly Destiny, GTA V, and anything I get my hands on for Steam.[/spoiler]
So, I'm planning to make this a regular thing, I will post facts that most people don't know about destiny, some of you will know them, some of you will find the facts useful.
[b]Did you know?[/b]
-If a yellow pulsing box is coming out of a players Level, it means they are supercharged.
-The first chest in the abyss in the Crota's end raid use to drop the class items and exotics, this convinced many to jump down into the hellmouth and try their luck, prior to the changes, the deathsinger once granted no rewards.
-The international spacestation that is destroyed floating around the moon is only visible on current gen consoles.
-There have been many discrete font changes and UI changes throughout destinys lifespan, don't believe me? Look at some older videos and see the difference, this includes the colour of the grenades and Melee charge.
-Ascendant materials were once Rare, not legendary.
-Before house of wolves, exotics were upgraded through Xur, only certain gear in his stock for that particular week could be upgraded.
-You could once buy strange Coins for Glimmer.
-The first public event completion of a day once gave ascendant materials.
-"..." on someones level means they have paused the game. "!" means they are badly damaged.
-The Vex Mythoclast and Necrocasm had and still have higher damage values than any other Y1 Weapon.
-Daily heroic missions once had modifiers.
-Heavy ammo wasn't always a guaranteed stock for Xur.
-Millhouse is not a meme.
-Planetary material icons were updated to better represent the look of them.
-Some gear had their icons upgraded to better represent their appearance.
-Xur sold Gjallarhorn in week two of Destiny.
That's all I've got for now, let me know if you enjoyed those few facts, if this gets popular, I'll continue this thing.

-Stay legend Guardian
Edit: So within a few hours I can see the general trend is That people enjoy these types of posts, I'll do some more delving and try and make this a daily thing, with the same title. Thank you to everybody for all of the support you've given me in such a short space of time.
Edit 2: I will be posting some more here soon, this will include facts commented by you lovely people :)[/i]

Did you know that since Destiny's launch. ......I have lost more hair, I speak to my Wife less, I have less money, patience, friends (Real friends that other people can see ) and a growing desire to invite my children to live somewhere else ( Little Needy Bastards). I just wish that there existed a "Make a wish " foundation for middle aged, balding,ignorant, poor, impatient Billy no mates tossers like me so I could become rich, have a shocking hair style and send my kids to boarding school or I could just wish to be Donald Trump and buy as many friends as I like! !!

6 отв.Atheon's teleport used to be not random it used to take the 3 people closest to the door before bungie patched it to make it 3 random players.

Did you know if you are still supporting this game then you have no life

6 отв.Awesome list, here's a few more that come to mind: There use to be an item called [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3f9oR08-k4o]"Ascendent Mote"[/url] when the game launched. The original "Templar Cheese" was standing on the [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMuHbIV0Zxc]Sniper Platforms Sniping[/url] (before "pushing off Templar" was a thing) PORTAL TEAM TO THE BACK!
-
Heavy synth used to be a 10 minute cool down.
-
Didn't Xur also sell Gjallarhorn like either the last or 2nd to last week before TTK (Y2) went live? So he only sold the most powerful Y1 weapon at the beginning and end of Y1.

I can see the destroyed space station on my PS3

3 отв.Изменено (Powermix24): 1/31/2016 1:27:03 AMDeej used to be a Dj . -The Black hammer used to fire infinite bullets as long as you did precision shots with it . -You once could kill the Archon Priest in 10 seconds when it was Solar burn Nightfall w/ Gally . -The Crucible wasn't updated for like 200+ days . -Lord Salad dressing once sold the most OP sniper in the game lol. -You used to get 500 Rep for your faction after doing the nightfall / weekly heroic . -Asylum , Blind watch , and most of the year one maps used to be in rotation in every playlist. -We got more updates from the devs in year one about the future of destiny vs now. -Our ghost had more depth to his character vs now. (I guess we have to be chasing treasures for it to make sense #satire )

4 отв.Heavy used to drop from downed opponents in PvP.

1 ответWow, is this what it's going to be like when I'm old? People talking about my past like it's some kind of ancient history?
-
Cue sold the Pan C twice in a row once lol
-
1 ответ- You used to get the kill in PvP by consequently shooting the enemy on target, and the kill would count without delay. - You used to be excited by getting a Legendary drop. And considered damn lucky at obtaining an Exotic piece. - The Revenant was [i]the[/i] most coveted shader along with Vault of Glass gear. You were looked upon as a Hero wearing Chatterwhite, and a God among pissants when wielding a Vex Mythoclast. But then, the Hunters came..

21 отв.Изменено (Emurinus): 2/1/2016 8:47:45 PMHere's a few more: -Originally Rahool would sometimes give you rares out of legendary engrams. -Murmur is the only gun in the game that can freely switch between burn damages. These burns are Solar and Arc. -Susanoo is the only weapon that can use any of the 3 burn damages, but only one at a time. -Randal the Vandal is the only AI related bug that players DIDN'T want Bungie to patch. -Light Level was originally based off armor only, and maxed you out at level 30 in the official release. Expansions raised this Light level to 32 then 34 until The Taken King. -The Speaker is the most pointless character in Destiny. -Every class has been nerfed at least once in one way or another. -Titans have a club called the 'Knee Fetish Club for Titans'. Only Titans with a certain Exotic armor piece were accepted, and must have it equipped to come in. -Crota Woman was originally named Eris Morn. -Golgoroth has the highest HP of any AI in the game (Can't remember how much though. Been told it's 12 million?) -Xur used to sell Exotic Shards. These Exotic shards were used in reaching the final level of an Exotic armor/weapon. Now, they are used for infusion and Xur no longer sells them. -Dinklebot (The Ghost's original voice actor) would glitch out an create an ear-splitting, glass shattering, explosive sonic wave when he would talk about the Archon Priest from the Prison of Elders (Archon Priest Strike). -Bungie created a door that only Dinklebot could open and not Nolanbot. Due to player complaints though, they gave the code for the door to Nolanbot, and people could continue the Nightfall.

5 отв.Xur sold Gjallharhorn in Week 1.

You could kill yourself by shooting your leg if standing in a puddle of water.

14 отв.Shooting any sticky grenade with red death heals you. This was great for crota hard and any modifier that slows or doesn't allow health regeneration. Materials used to be acquired only from collecting them on the planets. Commendations used to be the quickest way to rank up factions. They were rewarded for rank ups via vanguard and crucible. Dismantling exotics used to NOT give you exotic shards. The 7 oracles during VOG; chimed at the exact frequency and in the same keys as the original title screen music intro. Heavy ammo used to drop from enemies you killed in the crucible(if they had any), much like it does in mayhem modes, and special spawned more frequently. Thorn, was once the worst gun in the game. Bungie actually changed the stats for many weapon rather than nerf or buff, like thorns RoF or reload, bad juju used to not have as much stability or charge your super, and suros had less impact. Corrective measure was, and still is, the only heavy in the game to hold 300 rounds. Unfortunarely, you can no longer have 100 in the mag. Shooting your teammates with any weapon will have different colored hit markers. Orange for solar, blue for arc and purple for void subclasses. This was handy to use when lfg teams didn't communicate, so you knew who was using what super without having to open the menu. Plan C was sold 3 weeks in a row from Xur, during a heavy ammo drought. The speaker used to sell all cloaks or marks or bonds, not just 2 at a time, and all legendary emblems that Eva levante now sells. He didn't however, sell ghost shells or exchange materials. These all came later. The maximum amount of bounties held used to be 6. Only 6. The original inventory used to be 3 times smaller, and had no tabs.

Here's some for you The Devil Walker had a bounty. Randall was a lot more OP. Omnigul could be cheesed by sparrow breaching the door round the corner from the seeder entrance. The Valus strike has a cheese. A hole under the land tank lets you breach above the map. You could shoot Valus with AP rounds. Side note: AP rounds no longer work. You can sparrow surf by dismounting your sparrow, holding X/Square to re-mount and dance at exactly 75% of the circle being full. The Hated in Skywatch used to be for a quest. Now he's a redundant enemy. Side note: Xur used to sell the Urn you needed for when you had to kill him. Crota Woman's location has changed. Side note: Crota Woman used to be called Eris Morn. An old crucible weapons called 123 Zyzigy had a description that said "All in a row". A Zyzigy is when a planet and it's moons all line up with the Sun.

wasnt xur meant to have guaranteed heavy synth but it was a glitch that he had none and bungie just couldn't be bothered to fix it until everyone started complaining and using the heavy ammo glitch instead of using synths
-
That was really cool, and well written. Thank you for posting!
-
6 отв.The Vault of Glass has a powerful secret boss named Xylar the Timeless.
-
That Thunderlord was last exotic standing before being sold by Xûr in Year 1. I still remembered this before he actually sold it finally. XD
-
xur used to sell sunbreaker and voidfang for 6 week in a row or more
-
3 отв.One fact that most people don't know is that at one point destiny was fun

9 отв.Nothing to gain but why not

2 отв.Изменено (ATP): 1/31/2016 12:26:34 AMGood List. Xur once forgot to sell a gun. Engrams sold by Xur used to cost Motes of Light, not Strange Coins Guardians used to drop Heavy Ammo when killed. You could die and still pick up the Heavy Ammo allowing for Heavy Ammo 2 minutes after it had been launched. The Special Crates used to have a 30 second timer rather than a two minute timer. There used to be 7 Special Ammo Crates per map, now there are only 4. Public Events used to grant packages in the postmaster. The package is now automatically applied after completing your first gold one in a day.
