One of my favorite things in Destiny currently is the different emblems that track certain guardian stats. I've been toying around with an idea for a bit and gave my best effort arting (it's not great, but decent enough to better explain the idea anyways I believe) up some examples of a player investment system I think would be a fun addition to the game.
The emblems I used for examples are "Fight Forever", "Transit of Mercury", and "You are Worthy". They track Crucible KA/D, Heroic Mercury Adventure Completions, and Trials of the Nine flawless tickets, respectively.
The idea is that the emblems themselves would sort of "evolve" to reflect the statistic they track, giving the guardian an extra bit of visual flair for more impressive stats. I've slapped some random values on the examples below just to further clarify. Feedback is appreciated, but again, please don't get too hung up on the actual "art", just some quick ideas I threw together :P

The only downside thought of so far would be guardians who like a "lower" version of any given emblem, a bit more in-depth, but possibly have the option to select between each of the versions you're up to and below? Just a little extra bit, but like I said, feedback is appreciated!

Welp, I'm super happy :) https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46658

Nice idea, Call of Duty definitely doesn't already have this.

I would like an emblem that tracks the number of times my girlfriend tries to phone me while I'm busy with a raid

Great feedback. (moved to forum accordingly) Thanks for the post!

Edited by ricstar: 2/13/2018 11:56:33 AMThis could be a good idea for some emblems but not these ones. If you came across a crucible player with a kda of 5+ you automatically think hacker, lag switcher or cheat and would back out. Same with trials one. Mercury adventures are generally boring. This could be cool though for other ones.

This is honestly one of the best ideas I've seen in a LONG time. Who cares if it's only for emblems. IMAGINE THIS WITH GUNS! Seriously, the kill tracker makes it a perfect opportunity to do it now. YOU SIR! ARE FANTASTIC!

Edited by BannedMythicAccount: 2/13/2018 6:34:53 AMWe had something like emblem tiers in D1 with community member status like Heroic, Legendary and Mythic being matched accordingly to uncommon to legendary. But surprise? They took that out in the sequel too. Not expanded on it like OP is suggesting. If they won’t even implement basics again why suggest upgrades to the foundational idea like thats actually an option they could implement? Also you can tell this thread is rigged, all the Ninja’s and Mentors who have come out of the woodworks around the same time is no coincedence. Its bloody bait and would be no surprise this thread was pre-planned by the inner circle to make it seem like the #feedback is being utitlised properly after the backlash that negative threads had been auto sent there since the dmg lock/violate thread were becoming too much. While this is a fair attempt at feedback and is piggybanking all the attention that this game really needs to better itself. It’s obvious its a damage control thread that was thought out by the ninja/mentor private group, made to distract and yeah add some positivity. My problem is that y’all only support each other on stuff like this and not the fans who are bleeding for this game on the forum. It would have been better had you guys all come out together on a thread where OP was a nobody and continued to do that sporadically as a group when you feel like it has discussional value to promote the everyday joe and not sidebar users who already have a presense on b.net. [spoiler] I’m basically saying this is a Mentor/Ninja/Bungie circle jerk thread [/spoiler]

Love the designs

Just awful. Banned. [spoiler]Actually sounds like a cool idea![/spoiler]
-
lmao what kind of nerd would take the time to make this [spoiler]pls dont ban me mike[/spoiler]

Lol they track how many Public events you do but not how many Prestige Levs you complete... wtf honestly...
-
As I recall this is just a copy of something that Bungie have already said is being done for the ranking system in Crucible. They have a screenshot and everything! So.......yea um you're a bit late to the party.

Bro I’d love to have emblems with animations in this game.

How about an emblem that tracks the number of time I vomit while flossing my teeth. Hint, it's more 0

Yasss

This is a great idea!

Very cool idea. I love the progression of it and the emblem sort of ‘coming alive’ at higher levels. Obviously it would need a professional polish of course, but the idea is great. That’s the sort of thing I would spend hours upon hours grinding for. I’m probably not the only one.

Edited by Needless: 2/12/2018 10:10:45 PMWhat?! There are players with >10.0 ka/d ratio? Btw, love that Mercury emblems, they are really perfect.

Good idea, but the emblem evolving idea should be more of a player unlocks layers to form the emblem you want. It would be like the old Halo system so I could personally express the artwork I want. Players would need to spend time playing to unlock each of the layers to form the emblem they want, so if a player wanted to add layer 5 on layer 1 they could without needing to have the layer 2, 3, and 4 in the emblem. Each emblem would get a layer set it can unlock so you couldn't use the Crucible layers on the Raid layer set, this also would prevent players from making obscene emblems as easily. As it would be easier to test the artwork with it only being a few layers thick. Anything involving the Crucible would need higher standards then just simply KA/D by itself, what's stopping me from starting a new account and having one good game and quit the Crucible after that match. It should be based on playing at least 100 Crucible matches and still having the 10.0 KA/D and the emblem and KA/D for it could reset seasonally so you will need to play to maintain it. It should show off your skills not just luck. Also I would like to see an emblem showing off our kills with each weapon type that I could select the layer for Scout Rifle if I wanted to show that off today and change it to Auto Rifle tomorrow if I wanted to brag about that. I suppose a cycling emblem could work for it, something like a weapon type could cycle every few seconds and I could select the layers to cycle. Sorry if my feedback seems critical, I mean no harshness DMHCook!

Edited by raveun2me: 2/12/2018 10:01:09 PMNice work The "You Are Worthy" emblems are AWESOME! Unfortunately, I'm not really into Crucible. If you had an emblem that tracked Orbs generated in the wild, I'd really be into that
-
What if these with skins for emblems? Then a player could unlock the better skin as they got better etc. They could continue using the old skin if they wish too.

Edited by THUNDERCHILD: 2/12/2018 11:51:21 PMHey, great post! Emblems would be more fun to chase if they had something cool about them, like these nifty effects. +1 Though, i would be satisfied if they just gave me back my dull gray emblem from the D1 beta.
