"Welcome to a World Without Light" (Destiny)

by Speedracer513 @, Dallas, Texas, Friday, April 28, 2017, 13:24 (2525 days ago)

Some twitch streamers and youtubers started posting cryptic messages yesterday about a box they received from Activision PR and teasing a reveal this morning. Those reveals were just... revealed.

All it really is about is the gameplay reveal on May 18. The boxes contained a Cayde 6 figure (the same one you get from preordering at Gamestop), and a card with an invitation on it to the Worldwide Gameplay Premiere in Los Angeles on the 18th. The most interesting thing though, is that the other side of the card says "Welcome to a World Without Light" and has a dead Ghost on it.

Here is a screencap of tripleWRECK's tweet:

I really hope Claude got one of these…

…Just sayin’

Also, curious that this is in LA. I kind of expected a stream from Bungie HQ, but apparently this is a larger production!

Activision is based in Santa Monica, so I'd guess that's the reason?

Nope.

Activision cares about influencers. I haven't been one of those for a long time. :)

Your kindness has always influenced me to be kind to others!

That's a bit more meaningful than influencing people to buy something, no?

Apparently you need to hang out on the PS4 more... Korny might need some periodic 'recharging' of your influencing powers.

Looks like I might be there after all. :)

Easier Ways

by Cody Miller @, Music of the Spheres - Never Forgot, Monday, May 01, 2017, 22:01 (2522 days ago) @ Korny

These have worked for me before:

1. Have someone who is going send you a picture of their pass, then print a fake one for yourself
2. Go in through the service entrances
3. Go during a setup day and volunteer to help. They'll give you a temp pass.
4. Walk in like you belong

Of course, this only works if nobody knows who you are. I think Bungie knows what I look like now. :-p

It's being streamed isn't it? You won't miss anything really by not being there.

Didn't the THAB say that there would be hands-on play time for attendees?

I couldn't throw any of it away. I have a little mega blok Halo figurine they gave away at RTX and it's sitting around my house. I have a signed print of a webcomic on top of a bookshelf. I have lithographs that came with a concert ticket. If I get it for free, I can't throw it away as a memento.

I hate all the random crap I have. I think I'll go home and throw everything out today. Except for the free stuff. No idea why I can't toss it out.

Me too. I referred to it as "Sick Killz" because when my wife was in the room and I would land a head shot, I would intentionally annoy her by yelling "aawww sick kill!! OOOHHH did you see that sick kill? DAMN DOUBLE SICK KILL!!!" ...and such.

My wife and I used to play SWAT all the time. In fact, she wants to play again, I might have to put a fireteam builder up for some DBO on DBO SWAT action.

I wasn't trying to say SWAT is bad, but that if they create a gametype with abilities disabled, that would probably draw in the MLG crowd.
