I actually just had a thought flash through my head of when we may see the Destiny trophies list. Personally, I feel some of the usual leaks don't censor out 'hidden' trophies in a hide away box, so maybe it's best I only check on launch lol

Secondly, I guess reading that Q&A part of the Bungie weekly, I felt some responses were cop outs such as not answering whether they'll make official sparrow races, but basically how to craft some impromptu races yourselves and how Halo 2 guys did so.

My biggest gripe with the "Go to orbit" bit was the very long and frustrating load times. They need to sort that out. The Crews beta did fast travel from place to place in like <10 seconds. It also appears to.want to give more players per lobby than Destiny handles in each instance.

Still, i'm psyched and the Ice Bucket challenge vid was fun as were the nominations lol

Dragons have been rumored since the trophy list was leaked. Then in the beta, we found out it's name, Ahamkara from this exotic armor


So yes, yes there are dragons in Destiny.

Oh man this is cool news.

Just had a look through the trophy list. No spoilers for any tbh. What I have noticed is that some of them are straight forwards but will be time consuming to get, whilst some will require skill, luck and maybe some time. In particular, having to kill a hunter, warlock and Titan in a single match without dying. Snipers probably have an advantage assuming they camp to get this tbh.

I'm actually hoping to get a platinum by years end, but truth be told, I feel they should include more trophies when the expansion drops in December time. Also for the others too.

I've still got a clan set up guys and girls, so please join on September 9th and set it as your active clan. Please find us by typing in 'Saracens'

Does being in a clan have any particular advantage?

Well, I think it's a sure fire way to earn the trophy that required a full fireteam for strikes and raids comprised of clan members. It can I suppose also help build comraderie, but in truth, it seems like most FPS games, clans aren't all that integral.

Still, please do join as i'd love to play with as many forumites as possible

Oh my, ha ha ha. I did the same thing lol!

[Harlock415]

This will be my first midnight release of a video game. Coincidentally I do have two weeks of vacation the end of that month with the first week being a stay at home one.

[Mavrick]

Hopefully GAME get the Ghost Edition sent out on time. I've got things a day early in the past but as long as I get it before midday on the 9th I'll be happy.

This looks like porn

Newsweek has a collector edition entirely dedicated to Destiny that's out. Just found it this morning at the grocery store.



It's about $10, and it's of an amazing quality tbh. Includes a 60 pages guides/tips booklet in the center.

Not sure what's new or not, until now I was trying to be as spoiler free as possible.

What I can say is that the following is included:

- Story recap
- Guide on classes and sub classes with play style guides
- Weapon guide with large art included
- Enemy guide (Fallen, Cabal, Hive, Vex) with some tips about the sub classes of enemies
- 4 pages guide each on the main locations (Earth, Mars, Venus, Moon)
- Vehicle guide (sparrow)
- Game Background (voices)
- Dev talk about Community
- Activision self promo (5 pages - including -lol- fitness push at Activision)

+ 60 pages strategy guide in the middle: Guardian loadouts, Tower (?Hub) map and details, details about the beginner strikes, Multiplayer/ PvP, etc.

The magazine itself practically reads like an art book with the quality of the full page photos

Activision:
