The Wrath of the Mail Sack

Don't panic. The Mail Sack is not angry with you. It just needed a catchy (and timely) title. The Mail Sack loves you. It can read your mind. It knows what you're about to ask. That shouldn't slow you down. Throw your questions at it. We'll read 'em. We'll even answer some of 'em.

  • I have been hearing a lot of comments about the shallowness of Destiny's story, are those issues going to be addressed in future expansions and/or will the story be developed any further?

  • So i spent a really long time working on getting the bad juju gun and the "bad" part is accurate. How long do we have to wait for the bad juju to be given some good juju by the dev team?

  • In a Breaking In article with Dave Matthews, you left a challenge for the community. Will he still speak? [quote]So, it’s not about the perks, it’s about the game. In that case, tell us about the one thing that you contributed to Destiny that cemented your role as a leader of our tribe. Dave: I’d like to describe an accomplishment that I think sealed my fate for Spec Ops, but I’d be giving away too many spoilers. We’ll have to loop back around and answer this question after Destiny comes out. It’s a date. If our community is still listening, we’ll challenge them to ask you that question (maybe even in the Mail Sack) once our game is their game.[/quote]

  • This game really is amazing. But, a lot of people including me are disappointed with the content we were expecting to get vs. the actual amount of content we got. Will there be extra content coming to the game in the future that won't force us to buy the DLC to have it?

  • Hello DeeJ. In regards to the coins hidden around the Tower, thus far in my search I have found 2 more alongside the Tree one. One is on the Speaker's desk and the other is found in the Hunter's Bar beneath the hangar, sitting on the table by the Map. How many more are out there that I need to Hunt for? Finally as an aside, how do you think I looked at EGX in my Hunter costume on the Sparrow? Was great having people excitedly point at seeing a Guardian present playing the Crucible and some Strikes.

      • Are we gonna see any holiday/seasonal themed events? E.g Halloween event: jack o' lanterns and other decorations in the tower and other locations? Specific challenges which give themed rewards like themed shaders and gear? It would be cool to see these things implemented into the game. Cheers!

            There are TONS of great responses here, and *most of which deserve a response. I like what many are pointing out and all of it is useful to furthering the EVOLUTION OF DESTINY! With that said, I've got my own "two-cents" worth to throw at you. My wife is not a gamer, but she enjoys, believe it or not, watching me play for the stories that these games tell. (She's mentioned several times recently about her excitement and anticipation of the new dragon age game coming out as she enjoyed watching me play through previous versions of that dynasty.) I, because it was what I'd researched and heard all the hype about, l over-sold the current available story of Destiny to her in order to get her buy in on this game. 15 minutes of video is not enough.... We even went through Bungie.net and the app to gain additional story plots. No luck in getting get continued buy in. I hope, that we may continue to get much more story in the future, with better/alternate ways of delivering the story. This may win her back over. So far, story summary; - get awoken/revived by "ghosts" and steal an old ship - go get parts for ship to explore more of the galaxy - discover the various enemies in galaxy and their objectives - discover universal enemy is the vex - visit reef queen of the awoken - kill vex "god(s)" and save the galaxy What "we'd" like to see... A video library playback, in order to watch the videos in succession of the story completed thus far. *more background on; - awoken and titans - the speaker - the mysterious huntress - maybe even the various vanguard leaders and faction groups - deeper understanding of the vex and their history, creation, and in depth campaign addition throughout time that would allow many many endless opportunities of expansion through history/future down the road. - "the traveler's" history storyline - and many many more, maybe also snip it's on the post master/cryptarch? Just a few thoughts of the potential that lies in wait. (Not to mention my wife's happiness in simply watching me play, I know, I'm pretty lucky. I don't enjoy watching others play...lol) THE MAIN THING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IS TO INFORM US THAT YOU'RE AWARE OF THE DEFICIENCIES IN ALL ASPECTS OF THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE GAME, AND THAT YOU'RE WORKING ON IT. THIS WILL SAVE YOU FANS/USERS from jumping ship over to the next new thing... and forgetting about destiny altogether. Lots of new releases on the way. That will save many the angst and despair, to know, if nothing else, there's hope in finding their true Destiny..... Edit: 9/29/14- so a couple of awesome players took the research a step further. A large step further. See what they found out about the story here. [spoiler] [quote]It has been right here in front of us all along. Learn to read. Ladies, gentleman, boys and girls of all ages. Please just take a step back and get ready for a long winded ride down the story Bungie hid in plain sight to us all. At 3:30am last night my team mate and I had an epiphany while listening to Xur. And this needs to be spread to all the Internet to hear. (Please note I will be editing this post a ton this combines almost all the important grimoire and weapon items and is 90% based on accuracy of things in game) (Skip past 3rd paragraph if you just want to know the story) From the very beginning take a deep breath here we go. In the Souls game you are a chosen undead selected to end the time loop that has been going on and on into infinity. If you aren't familiar with Dark Souls I urge you to read up on it right here pause and go... Right most of you didn't so I'll explain. Basically every player is "chosen" to fulfill this prophesy of ushering in the age of darkness and yet the only way to accomplish it is by going about the game in a bizarrely weird pattern because you have been DECEIVED (note this is very important) but one day one undead goes against the prophesy, alternate ending ensues. So anyways Bungie has pulled from Dark Souls in many ways not just in the form of hidden story telling (it took players over a year to get this) but also in the actual plot line itself. The people with the Vex theory were partly correct. Here we go, cut scene one. A mysterious ghosts wakes you up and tells you that you've been dead a very long time, you are going to see many things you don't understand. Oh how appropriate this was, what the ghost should have said is you will understand nothing. Cutscenes 2 a stranger is watching as you escape on your ship, she goes on to monitor you and make sure you arrive on the moon to go down and battle the hive discovering the Shrine of Oryx (GRIMOIRE INSERT). If you didn't catch it the Exo stranger sent that ghost specially to you. Moving right along we are whisked off to Venus to interpret what is going on here and dig up an old extremely important archive known as the Ishtar collective. (GRIMOIRE INSERT) now please know the Ishtar collective were warlocks before the collapse that discovered that we had already been defeated by the Vex. At this point things are going to be very complicated to explain. The awoken queen (GRIMOIRE), the vanguard, and the speaker all know the truth behind the game. And here it is. You are trapped inside a transdimensional simulation (GRIMOIRE). The real earth was right there in front of us all along. Hovering above the speaker. The Exo stranger must be an extension of the traveler that is acting in the world (EXO STRANGER GRIMOIRE). However the traveler itself is indeed the AI warmind Rasputin. Humanity no longer exists. Period. Mankind has been obliterated. Xur is from the "outer world" which he quotes so much. One of his most important lines is "where I come from there are no birds only shadows". And "your traveler has a dark shadow". This probably would be another war mind who doesn't like its creators. (Speculation what really is the darkness) The reason in the world of Destiny mankind designed the warminds AND the Exo (EXO GRIMOIRE) must be that we attempted to save ourselves. From what you may ask? The answer is ourselves and it is found in the (GOLDEN AGE GRIMOIRE) in this simplistic conversation so much is revealed. Now Bungie pulled a page from the bible here and Revelations about "A great time before the end of the world where people knew many things but in the end the only answer was God" (paraphrase). Somehow we destroyed ourselves and brought about the darkness. This is where things become EVEN MORE complicated if you are following still. So one can hypothesize in the Destiny time line of things we had to have been extinct a VERY long time 1 million years+. This actually explains why the worlds are so empty because the war mind was built post collapse which would lead to it not knowing what life was like during the "golden age" of technology. So we've been extinct for a million years and the super computer warminds we built are all lonely. Well one decides he wants to know what his creators were like after all you've had an infinite amount of time to think. (TRAVELER GRIMOIRE) Fast forward when something has had an infinite amount of time to think it discovers many things. I believe the war mind Rasputin decided to "travel" in the vessel of the traveler. Now this is where your head explodes. Backwards in time to save humanity.. But there is a catch, he is a warmind and with him COMES WAR. Causing the whole cycle to repeat again. Golden age, humanity collapses, darkness ensues. Warmind "travels" again. Somehow we have been stuck in an infinitum loop. There is a catch though. He thinks he has answer this time (GRIMOIRE). The Ghosts. Because Rasputin does not understand the nature of his creators he decides he must break himself apart and resurrect them with the power he learned about in.. Wait for it THE BLACK GARDEN (GRIMOIRE MYSTERY) For whatever reason God pities this warmind and decided to give him the answers he seeks on how to save humanity using the power of the light. But where there is light there is darkness. Another religious theme of we are God and God is us. Now underlining all of this is the fact that inside the tower you can go and look at our solar system. 6 times around the speaker. With the SEVENTH (Bungie number) being our real earth, constantly being scanned and explored to understand how we could save it. I believe the Exo must be the only things left in our original realm and are quite possibly monitoring all of this as we are at war with the Vex time loop (conspiracy) the leader of the darkness (unknown as of now probably another warmind). The leader of the light (The Traveler). And then one more, as the speaker puts it, "not dark not light but something else". There will be no other answer but God. Tldr and summary: Destiny is a transdimensional simulation. You the guardians have to be an end to the loop. Leaders of the tower know the truth that humanity is extinct. The traveler is actually a Warmind we built who thought for so long he learned the secrets to the universe. Went back in time trying to save us and know it's creator and origins. Mankind triggered the darkness during the golden age. Rasputin deeply regrets this. The other 8 war-minds are either against humanity or inactive. Edit- This is the sad truth people. Bungie has tried a type of story telling that doesn't work for a community of shoot Em up FPS players. If you don't want to read your grimoire, weapons, and armor then you will always feel Destiny's story is empty which it is not. Help spread the world. Light be with you all[/quote] [/spoiler] Happy Hunting Guardians! -L.V.-

              Dear DeeJ, As you know, many players including myself have been experiencing persistent connectivity issues with the game with no discernible pattern or end in sight. While your coders are hard at work, I am sure, can Queen's Wrath be extended several days to give those of us patiently waiting reprieve a chance to catch up?

                Dear Bungie, I want to play my warlock but cannot fire I receive an error code nicknamed "centipede". I am able to log onto my hunter and Titan, but the warlock is unable to be logged onto. I would not like the solution to be deleting said character seeing that they are equipped with legendarys and exotic. Please help me. My internet connect is fine.

                • First off, I want to congratulate you all on creating one of the best games I have ever played. I am in love with Destiny and enjoying every minute of it. That being said, I am curious about a rumor I heard about how our Destiny characters will be transferring over to Destiny 2 (and possibly Destiny 3). Is this true, or will we be seeing a whole new world of Destiny in the sequel with a whole new storyline?

                  • Bungie, you have created a very beautiful and vivid universe with Destiny. This makes me thoroughly confused as to why ALL the Shipwright Schematics are a "Shit Brown" color. Seriously, WTF? There is nothing more disappointing than finding a ship schematic only to find out that my Guardian will be flying a turd through space.

                      Note - please address this. I mean, soon. I would like to know - why aren't threads about destiny that are posted in the wrong area being moved? I saw that 1 person(you know who I am talking about) was moved to #community from #gaming when he was talking about all the #destiny topics in gaming. So if it's easy to move that, why isn't it easy to move the fireteam threads?

                      • Are there any plans to expand PvP to have at least a tiny portion of variation that we played and loved in the halo series? The PvP gametypes in your previous games have kept me and many of my fellow gamers around long after the campaigns have been beat on legendary.
