Just ahead of daily reset this morning, players gathered in the Tower to witness Destiny 2?s first live event, changing the state of the world in real-time as Rasputin finally fired his missiles and finished off The Almighty, which had been hurtling towards the Last City. The Fortnite-like live spectacle wasn?t exactly a Travis Scott concert or a world-ending black hole, but for Destiny fans, this was a great example of the kind of live and impactful environmental storytelling we?ve been wanting to see since the launch of the first game back in 2014.
I logged in just before reset (11 am Mountain Time, for me) to see the Tower waiting in awe. The instance was already filled with Guardians waiting. Zavala and Shaxx had both moved, staring at the looming Almighty in the sky above us. NPCs in the Tower pointed to the sky, murmuring and taking selfies?because even in a far-flung future with space magic and humanity on the brink of collapse (again), people still gotta document where they were when tragedy nearly struck.
