Lol!!!!
Thinking more about the Darkness and the enemy factions, it seems to me that specific factions control / patrol specific planets. The Fallen are based on Earth, the Hive on the Moon, the Cabal on Mars, and I presume the Vex on Venus. The Fallen are apparently also on the Moon, but probably only because they are fighting with the Hive based there ( after the Hive somehow broke free from their prison ).
Any other cases of multiple factions in the same area known as of now ( besides Fallen / Hive )?

Ok so I might actually have both reservations because there is a 2 in parentheses under it so potentially yay

I could of swore somebody posted in the Alpha impressions thread banners of the enemies which featured their silhouettes including the Darkness. I might go digging in the thread to try and find it...
I think maybe we will run into Fallen on most planets. From Destinypedia:
I'm watching the latest trailer again, and I got curious about the dots beside the planets and moons. What could they mean?

They were a part of the original ARG reveal for Destiny. We had to click the Diamonds to arrange them into specific patterns in order to unlock each days subsequent puzzle. I don't recall if we ever discovered what their exact meaning was beyond being an unlock code to the puzzle.

When you use your super and successfully kill enemies, you drop Orbs of Light. Only other players in your Fire Team can pick them up (you can't pick up your own). The orbs give a boost to the super meter, so your team can use their supers sooner.
Ahh, thanks

I hope the game has a strong campaign. I always loved the halo campaigns. Hope that bungie will deliver on this front.
Question; do Supers generate Orbs based on the amount of kills you make with them? If so, that would make the Golden Gun even more underpowered compared to the others than it already is...

Its amazing right? I've been in the exact same boat since playing the Alpha lol

The most I've gotten is 4 orbs. I've seen people get up to 8 orbs. Titan and Warlock can get huge multikills in the Crucible if an opposing team is all huddled in one capture point. But the Hunter focus also has Golden Gun upgrades that allow for penetration and for enemies hit by it to explode, so eventually Golden Gun can get crazy multikills.
Watching some old footage to learn more about the lore I noticed there was a different menu back then. I guess this was before they had the planet maps seen in the alpha?
Wonder what the bounties are and if they'll be in the final game.
Same here, every game i start i also quit in 10 minutes.
Even the Summer sale cant sooth my lust for some more Destiny damn Bungie bastards !

Bounties are probably "kill this specific mob." Some of the random quests in exploration mode were like that.

The hype for this game has gone out of control.
There were Bounties in the Alpha, from Xander the Bounty vendor.
Bounties actually were in the Alpha. There was an android in the Tower that you could go to for both Crucible and Vanguard bounties. Bounties for the Crucible were stuff like 'Get an undying medal' or 'Get 50 assists', Vanguard bounties were for Explore / PvE and consisted of stuff like 'Complete a Strike without dying' or 'Kill 10 Fallen leaders'. Rewards for completing a bounty were XP points, Crucible marks or Vanguard marks ( depending on the type of bounty ) and Glimmer.

I don't think the fallen are controlled by the darkness. At the end of the video with Jason Jones, you can see 2 fallen guarding the (I think) queen of the awoken.
There were some bounties like "kill 10 Fallen Generals" but there were also Bounties like "get 100 headshots in the wild" or "get 100 melee kills", etc. There is a lot of variation.

The few bounties I had were challenges. Like finish a strike without dieing.
I actually think it was glitched. I'm 100% certain that I completed a full Strike without dying on at least two occasions, one on Brave, the other on Legend, yet I was unable to turn the bounty in.
I think there will be a separate enemy controlled by the Darkness. As shown here where a Fallen and Cabal are marching together with similar light and fog coming from the body:
The Golden Gun is very powerful if used right. Plus if you checked out the skill tree it only gets better with explosions.

Keep in mind this is a concept art, so there are likely chances that things have changed.

Well we don't know exactly where the Awoken's allegiance lies. The Awoken are the result of something that happened when The Darkness attacked and it changed some of Humanity that were not on Earth. A few returned to Earth and allied with us, the rest ended up at The Reef and formed whatever society is there. Why they chose to stay apart from us and what their plans are, are still unknown. They could be a working for The Darkness in some manner or even out for themselves. So having a few Fallen in their ranks for protection could mean any number of things.
The whole team had to survive the strike without dying, not just you. Pretty hard bounty to get.
Where is the stuff about the reef from? I've read bits and pieces about the awoken, but nothing about the reef. Love the lore stuff around this game.

I want to say it was from one of the Grimoire cards.
Yeah that's true. Only speculation at this point.
Cheers, I'll have a look.

Hah yeah my phone went off for the PS app and saw it was a friend request. Thanks for putting in your GAF id otherwise I wouldn't of known who it was!
Grimoire question but only a few could actually be read right? Most of the ones in the Alpha were redacted just for the Alpha correct?
