During [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Bungienext-Groups-the-Battlestations-of-the-Future/en/Forum/Post?id=61435574#referred-Destiny]previous threads[/url], we mused at the idea that bungie.net will be your "Hub Control Battlestation" to organize your Destiny journeys with friends through private groups and public forums.
Through bungie.net's update, I believe Destiny will become what you make of it. It's up to you to decide how exactly you become legend. We all define becoming legend in different ways, but we're on the verge of a new generation of consoles. With Destiny launching multi-platform, what are some specific examples you plan on using to become legend?
[u]Examples[/u]
[spoiler]1. We now have the ability to live stream gameplay right from our consoles without a capture card on Xbox One and Playstation 4.
2. Consoles can directly connect with social media accounts seamlessly.
3. Private Groups on bungie.net can be used to host news, game-nights, organization, clans, raids and much more.
4. Thanks to the following system on bungie.net, you can now see activity of specific players to keep tabs on their latest journeys with friends and create your own following to share your stories with others.
5. With Destiny launching on multiple platforms, one "world" is going to be different than another (meaning different players and outcomes). You may be able to use this to your advantage.[/spoiler]
So now begs the question.... how exactly will you "Become Legend" in Destiny through our new generation of technology?
[b]We can rebuild him. We have the technology.[/b]

Might be uploading clips of interesting feats directly to youtube. Streaming is tough if nobody wants to watch.

Edited by external: 9/16/2013 5:30:53 AM1 & 2: It all depends on how functional the streaming is; needs to work for existing platforms like twitch stream headset chat and integrate twitch chat at the very least, and be able to keep the stream in sync. Call me skeptical but I don't think the service will be able to do that at launch all while keeping gameplay smooth and low-latency; maybe with future updates. The social media integration with the stream is the main reason I want to know when people are online, and if they're using capture cards rather than the console's own streaming features then that "seamless" social media integration is wasted for the purposes of participating in streams. 3. I don't see much more going on with this other than getting b.net (or twitter/FB/G+) notifications when your b.net groups, friends and guilds have scheduled to do or are doing things in-game, or have posted news/organization updates, but those alone would be nice and would be a better use of any supposed seamless social media integration. 4. If this is the case we'd greatly benefit from the option to follow people's in-game activity as a separate category from following out of game behaviors like their forum activities and likes. And add the function of separate notifications for each, with the total of each (game notes/b.net notes) shown next to the 7th column icon and displayed as b.net/game or something. Or just having separate icons for b.net follow updates and Destiny game follow updates. The categories of people I'd play with or whose streams I would watch just wouldn't always necessarily overlap with those whose b.net/forum activities I'd want to follow. But I wouldn't want to cull a bunch of b.net [i]users[/i] just to keep updates/notifications manageable for following the in-game activity of those registered [i]players[/i] I would like to follow. In fact, having a separate column for either next to a drop-down list of followed users would be great, something like Youtube's sidebar for subscriptions with numbers for "b.net activities" and "destiny activities" representing the number of individual updates to their activity feed. With the option to have that list ordered alphabetically or by most recent update rather than Youtube's incomprehensible ordering logic. 5. Only one I could think of would be "previewing" population metric-dependent events, if any, that occur on one platform so as to anticipate those world events on your own platform. A sort of glimpse into the future of your world by viewing an alternate world, if you will. Or perhaps previewing timed console-exclusive content, if any. That exclusive content for the PS$ may be platform-exclusive forever or it might just be exclusive to that platform until some time in the future when it's made available for other platforms. We simply don't know yet.
