How Can Destiny be an MMO-RPG?

[b]Before I begin, I want to point out that I am NOT associated with [i]Bungie[/i] at all. What I'm about to say is purely speculation and I have no evidence to support my claims. So, it's safe to say that we all need those spinfoil hats. Secondly, this is a 4:00 a.m. ramble, so you might need to read this a few times.[/b] In the Halo series, Master Chief was the main character. It was Him that was fighting the Covenant, but so many people played as Master Chief. Up to the millions of people were playing as Master Chief but in the story, ONLY Chief was the main (playable) character. How can this work in Destiny? Destiny is the story of us. It is the story of us becoming legend. But how can this work if there are so many of us? Thousands of people killed Oryx in King's Fall, but who is the true Kingslayer? It can't be the people that did it the day of the raid's release, then everyone afterwards would be useless. But how could we ALL slay Oryx simultaneously? How can we ALL be Kingslayers? *Clenches spinfoil hat* Unless, it is tied into Destiny itself. Think back to Vanilla Destiny, when Vault of Glass was a myth to most players. Just prior to The Dark Below, people said that Atheon could be beat over and over because Vex wanted Atheon back, so they went to an alternate reality where Atheon lived. This was proven true. Vex would hop to a time line where Atheon was still alive. Since time couldn't be rewritten, Atheon was bound to die in THAT time line as well. So, what if the Vex had a major role in Destiny the game itself? *Hangs on to spinfoil hat for dear life* Has anyone wondered why the Vex were the first endgame bosses? Why were they the first threat? I mean, it's obvious the Hive is the source of all Darkness, they should be the primary focus. Wrong! Has anyone thought that Bungie made Destiny around the Vex for a reason? A reason that includes multiple time lines. Destiny is an MMO-RPG because every guardian/every three guardians/every six guardians are living a different time line built by the Vex! *Spinfoil hat rips* Think about it, because of the Vault of Glass there are thousands of simulation universes for Atheon to live in, just in case he dies in one. At the same time, those simulation universes is a universe in which each individual one us IS the guardian(s) that becomes legend. So, when we are at the Tower, we are seeing guardians that are the Legend of their own time line. We can't touch them because they are in their own alternate reality. We can still see them because all of the realities are meshed together by the sheer force that is the Vault of Glass. Long story short, [i]Bungie[/i] made the Vex and the Vault of Glass the first endgame boss to explain how several thousands of guardians could be The Legend simultaneously. I would really like to hear what you guys have to think. [i]Keep fighting, Guardians [/i] My Library: https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1371758/179573899/0/0

  • I think everyone is just guilty of hopeful thinking, and Bungie doesn't have crazy secrets hidden throughout the game. Want examples? People were excited about calcified fragments being hidden everywhere and unlocking an awesome gun. It was just 45 reskinned ghosts randomly placed. Further proof? The Sleeper Simulant. People were going crazy thinking up theories and exploring, and it turned out to be a big waste of time. It was just a timegated quest. Remember when people found that basketball arena area in Kings Fall, and thought it was some secret easter egg, and people literally streamed for over 24hrs straight worrying about being the first to discover it? Yeah, it was just a small basketball area. Nothing more to it. There have been several things like this, and they always end up being overthought by the community and debunked later on. The only thing I can recall being a hidden secret was not letting the Templar teleport to unlock the extra chest. It seems they just don't care enough to make cool secrets for us to seek out. They either don't exist, or are simply timegated and underwhelming.
