Great work, Hylebos! [quote][b]Tyson:[/b] You can say, you know BEEP just started. What does BEEP mean? Well, in BEEP you've gone and you've said 'Well, maybe those abilities, they're not really available anymore. Like, those are on old items, things that don't drop anymore.'[/quote] [url=http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2013/12/13/designing-the-rpg-elements-of-destiny.aspx]In the GameInformer interview[/url], from 2:50 to 3:33 Tyson talked about players being locked into making a commitment for some period of time. BEEP must be the start of a new period and being able to reset certain decisions you've made for your Guardian. [quote][b]Tyson:[/b] We're going in a little bit different direction than some other recent RPGs, where they really never ask the player to really make any commitments. We want players to actually do some things that they may be locked into at least for some period of time because we feel like that allows a person to actually make a different decision than another person and not to just immediately copy the decision that's optimal. Like, everyone just doesn't go to a website and say 'Well, what's the best build?' We're trying to give people opportunities to distinguish themselves. Commitment is part of that because when nobody's committed to anything, nobody's distinct either. Everyone's really only a few button clicks away from being the same as eachother.[/quote] I'm not one to speculate.. oh wait, yes I am! The last BEEP is kind of late and it sounds like it starts with a 'd' or 't'... maybe it's 'Tempore', the Latin word for 'season'. Can't wait to learn how wrong I am!

  • Bungie have emphasized on many occasions that your gear will tell your story... It's possibly some raids or strikes will change from season to season making gear looted from old raids no longer available. You would be able to look at a guardian and say "hey! You where there when the doors to Chalamagnes vault where breached". At least that was my first thought after hearing the bleeps :)

  • Agreed. I was thinking that, but my post doesn't mention it at all. :( Also, 'beep' or 'bleep'... hmm.

    Sounds like a good guess, thanks for sharing :)
