after trashing the story due to contraints of the console (ses "GDC2015 - destiny siy years in the making" ), bungie had its original content cut into several pieces and sold them separately.. in the picture you can see the original plan for release..
you can also see that ROI was originally named "plague of darkness" and was supposed to be the first "comet" release (a mayor update)
in the picture you can see "Dark below" and "house of wolves" then followed by the Comet "plague of darkness" which is most likely what we will see as "ROI"
please be also aware that the "Story" progression you have today in Destiny doesnt represent the orginal story line which was more focused on a revealing the travellers true nature and went to the planets in a different order. TTK was supposed to be the showdown of destiny 1 and was supposed to be coupled with crotas end (dark below) (did you ever asked why the mission shrine of oryx has no real place in the progression of the story, its "just another mission" that suddenly appears on the map with no clue leading towards it.)
so destiny had about 5 pieces whacked away from its original story line and bungie decided to put them back together later as a dlc..
what is stil completely missing
- storyline about a character "The Crow" and the guardians without ghosts
- the compete background story about the Cabal (forge of Gods)
- sparrow racing to flee an enraged Ogre (Gamerant article about some testplayers at Bungie, would really see this coming life =D )
- the complete story of Osiris.. which is a "Jedi" like Guardian that has errected colonies away from the city. like mercury (the lighthouse is the social space on mercury.. a refugee haven after the player would have finally found out the travellers true nature )
the only point where i did not find any clue was vex void.. since the only thing we have about the vex is Vault of glass, and finally one more story mission "undying mind" that was supposed to lead us there but was rehashed as a normal strike .. (you can spot abandoned story missions with the greyed out corpses (see first mission the dead fallen walker after you leave the wall ) same on mercury under the landing area the "secret" room below..
so basically there are still many stories to be told in the destiny universe but i have no clue if the new writers can make any sense of the mess bungie left behind..
i am still waiting for the iconic scene "why is the city breathing down my neck" with crow and the guardian come to life in real ..

Изменено (Hiatus): 9/19/2016 7:27:11 PMBased on that Picture, Plague of Darkness is The Taken King, not ROI. The new destination says HIVE SHIP, aka the dreadnaught. Plague of Darkness was likely a place holder name. Oryx and the Hive literally are a plague of darkness on the universe when you consider the lore we received via the calcified fragments.
-
everything after House of wolves was a placeholder.. and "plague of darkness" and "Plaguelands" and the whole description of the SIVA are more likely to be the plague of darkness and not the taken.. =) but its speculation.. and we will never know which role SIVA played in the original game and story.. it could even be that the release of the siva triggred the taken and led to the hive ship etc etc etc.. who knows.. staten was a very good writer.. and bungie had bad company-.
-
Except the trashing story happend because activi$ion didnt agree with the supercut they showed of the story.....
-
i am not sure about this.. there have been many ideas out there and trashing a whole game just because some guys didnt like it.. ? .. i am more like the story would have needed some functionality that wouldnt work.. like different instances for different players .. e.g. the first divide instance with the story mode active.
-
This isnt just stories......this is directly from Marty's interview....Activi$ion got too much influence in the game. Thats why what happend,happend....for gods sake Joe staten the man himself all those 10+ years at bungie....bungie would have been nothing without him...do you really think the story designer left because of some small issues...these guys are geniuses they would have figured it out...he left because his work got pushed around by a -blam!-tard of a company.
-
i never said that staten left because of small issues .. i think he was defending the original story till the last breath and when he realized what would be left over from the orginal story he quit due to not wanting his name with that desaster.. i think, according to the gdc2015. the ps4 and ps3 could not handle the content that was needed for the whole story to be told.. also the original story would have rewuired to have several instances of the game being life at the same time. so the game just broke during the "going live" test.. sadly developers do not develop on consoles any more.. and the console makers M$ and Sony aparently do not provide valid information to the game studios. leading to poor design descisions.. Marty just said that the game was rewritten , but not what caused the descision to the game being rewritten , the information about the supercut that was not pleasing the upper management was from the reddit post from the alleged Bungie employee =) nevertheless the whole comtroversy and the headcuts of that story issue are by far the most interessting plots in destiny =D
-
The comet is most likely TTK, as it mentions the three sub classes and the hive ship.
-
well it turned out to be TTK .. but i dont know the ties between the plague and the taken.. (if any) i just know that the original comet was themed "plague of darkness" which is the SIVA and not the taken..
-
Plague of Darkness doesn't have to refer to a virus. Earth, Venus and Mars were all Plagued by the Darkness as more and more Fallen, Cabal and Vex were taken by Oryx.
-
i dont know but "Plaguelands" and "plague of darkness" seems to be a bit connected..
-
SIVA has nothing to do with The Darkness. Anyone who has played this game long enough could easily read that and tell it was TTK just by how TDB opened the doors for Oryx.
-
you know that TDB and TTK was once planned to be adjacent in ONE big story arch from the beginning ? yes?
-
I know exactly how the expansions were designed to release and I can tell you now that the comet was not RoI. The original story was dropped so they took bits of what they had from every expansion and threw it into the base game, thats why TTK put the quest lines in order from how they were meant to be from the start. All ending with TTK, which was the comet.
-
[quote]I know exactly how the expansions were designed[/quote] how comes ? you are working at Bungie ?

Изменено (Jincos): 9/19/2016 8:04:56 PMThat other guy already explained it. Use your head dude. Oh and if you honestly think that a Hive Ship and the Darkness would have anything to do with SIVA then you clearly missed Cosmo's posted where he admitted Clovis Bray made SIVA and with the video dialogue they admit it was before the time of guardians.
-
Nah, using my head is called "assumption" and "deduction".. its not "i know exactly".. and Cozmo isnt a legit source for "old business" since he is way to young.. =) so basically you can just scoop old articles of gamer that have been playing the game when it was still in its original state.. =) ... and actually the new plaguelands cosmodrome confirms my theory that the original story needed multiple instances of a world to represent the progression of the story which neither the old gen nor the early new gens could support. so the story had to be cut.. =D
-
Your older post to me says nothing about that. You need to learn the difference between the HIVE & DARKNESS and FALLEN & SIVA. Blocked for pure stupidity.
