Polygon Destiny Article

I am really liking Polygon as a news site, they read more like a magazine or newspaper (in a good way) then like a news aggregator.

They posted an article about the reveal of Destiny and have good tidbits I haven't seen before. Favorite quote in the article is probably:

"In Destiny, if you fly to Mars and just plant yourself in one of the public areas, you'll see people streaming in. You'll see monsters dropping from the sky. You'll maybe even see a monster that shows up once a month, that people have only told you rumors about on forums. But that stuff just happens in our world, and it's pretty magical."

Here's the article.

Yea, generally really good, though what they describe is the opposite of an instance.

"IN AN PC-BASED MMO, THIS WOULD BE CALLED AN "INSTANCE." ON A CONSOLE-BASED SHOOTER, IT'S CALLED A GAME CHANGER."

An instance is when you take a group and go to a place where no other players can appear. A public space is where you open the doors to the wide world.
