Seems really... insensitive.
Not if done in a not-so memorial style. Just a cave somewhere with names, perhaps finger-nail scratches on the walls, skeletons, and names on a wall.

How about a pre-announced day (starting at 12:00 Pacific Time) in which one could have their name in it. First 300-400 names get into the game, scratched on a wall in a cave somewhere. Maybe there's a boulder you have to blow up to get into it and a campfire in the middle, and on each of the logs of the campfire it says something like "Mail Sack", "Ride Alongs", "Community Joes", "The Flood", and other things that kept us "alive", as it were, during the "Darkness".

e: You would type in the name you wanted in the cave, and any ones seen as profane by the Bungie employees would be removed, and those slots could be prizes for future Mail Sacks.

e2: Either the above for prizes, or only go up to 275-375 and give those remaining 25 slots away as prizes.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Let's be realistic, do you think Bungie actually cares enough to write down a ton of names and use up resources just to acknowledge a bunch of people desperate for recognition?

How do you even go about doing this? Make a thread, leave it open for a week? 5 hours and that news will spread like wildfire, and you'll have 100s and 100s of pages from people that don't even own an xbox, but just want their name in a video game.

Oh, and having the creators of this idea having an elevated position on this supposed wall? Really? I almost choked on the desperation when I entered this thread.

None of you have done anything to deserve this either. What, you decided to check in on this forum once in a while? Made the great effort of signing in and posting "omg destiny so good destiny yeah baby"?

Please.

If anything, all you are getting is a single line at the end of the credits that says "thanks to all of our fans for their support during the darkness".

No individual names, no hidden easter egg. Just a blanket thank you that allows Bungie to acknowledge their fans while not having to worry about the thousands of people that would complain because their name didn't go on the wall.

I agree whoever came up with this idea is a complete idiot. I don't care if it's for fun. So what if this is to keep you guys occupied while you loyally and patiently wait for the next game. FUN IS NOT ALLOWED HERE. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I don't believe that anyone is getting their hopes up, or at least they shouldn't. We should all know that the likelihood of this happening is slim to none, but it's just fun to talk about. Seriously, the conversation in this forum is quite dry enough as it is. I like the idea, even though the possibility of it happening are not even close to slim and definitely none.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

That is an awesome idea, were Bungie to do an easter egg like that.

Hey, guys, what's going on in this thread?
Someone tell Kivell that he is a lie.

Regardless if of the titles assigned by the OP, it would be a really neat thing for a game developer to do. I dont feel like we should be entitled to it, just that it is something that no other developer has done that I know of.

I love the idea, it would make a nice easter egg. If a large scale version is unworkable perhaps Bungie could incorporate the Memorial Wall concept in a similar way to Recon Armour in Halo, and reserve it for members of the Seventh Column who do something noteworthy.

  • 10.01.2012 7:50 AM PDT

I could be wrong but from where I stand nobody in this forum, other than the employees, have done anything to help create Destiny. I really don't feel like anyone deserves this kind of recognition, except possibly the forum ninjas for helping moderate the website.

My future is certain, I will one day fly away. All because I am saved from the penalty of sin. I know he lives.

Maybe not a wall type memorial, but more like a building style memorial, and at the bottom of this building, the foundation blocks would have our names on them. Because we are the foundation of the community.

I like the general idea.

I never claimed that we did. This is becoming such a prevalent post that I edited the OP.

This could work as well.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Shouldn't it be a memorial wall to those who left during the darkness?

Just an Average Joe...

I'm sorry... Why is it people that come here for free, and get to use a forum for free, should somehow deserve to have their names put into a game that OTHER people have put their blood sweat and tears into?

Be a little bit more sensible about things.

It helps if you read the OP. If you had, you would have seen that I do not believe that we in any way deserve this, merely that it would be an interesting Easter Egg for Bungie to implement.

But, this would be a pretty good idea, though I don't know if they could fit evryones usernames on a single wall.

If they put it somewhere outside of the map where space wasn't really an issue, it wouldn't be too hard to fit everyone, especially if the names weren't too large.

OP, I'm not particularly suggesting that is your implication.

As you would note, I did not say, "OP YOURE DUMB FOR THINKING THIS."

I stated, "Why would we deserve this?"

Cool Easter Eggs are designed for people who've earned to be a part of them. We've earned nothing.

We deserve nothing. And I mean that literally. What have we done to deserve freedom? Or clean water? Is this an extreme example? Probably, but the point remains: not all things are given because they are deserved. In this case, Bungie has always been a fan-oriented studio. They make games for their fans and for themselves. This would be an inventive way to show their appreciation and love of those who support them. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

But at the sam time, what would the Bungie forums be if we all just left (out of boredom for instance)?

Personally I enjoy these forums simply for what they are, but I do see a point--albeit small--in rewarding the regulars for remaining faithful through over a year of darkness, even though it is Bungie themselves who are the instigators of the atmosphere we so cherish and visit these forums for. Maybe not through a list though.. :S
