Destiny, a game in which I only just learnt that Scorch Cannon rounds can be charged to spread their payload over a massive distance, is about to get bigger in September. And to celebrate the year one players who stuck around and built their Guardians into legends, Bungie is rewarding them.
With an emblem. And yes, I freakin’ want it, to the point where I am making plans to spend entire nights earning it, because I clearly have a problem. Clearly.
Destiny’s Laurea Prima emblem won’t just be handed out gratis however, as players will have to work their asses off in order to earn it. Truly dedicated players however, most likely have it already. Here’s what you need to do, in order to achieve all Triumphs:
- Bane of Atheon: Defeated Atheon on Hard
- Bane of Crota: Defeated Crota on Hard
- Bane of Skolas: Defeated Prison of Elders on Hard
- Chest Hunter: Find All Golden Chests
- Crucible Gladiator: Won 100 Crucible matches
- Defeated the Dark Heart of the Black Garden
- Light in the Dark: Prevented the summoning of Crota’s Soul
- Light of the Reef: Captured Skolas in the Citadel
- Public Servant: Completed 50 Public Events
I’m already almost halfway there, with the Bungie site having a tool that keeps track of my progress. Check it out:
So what does this emblem do then? It’s purely for bragging rights, that’s what it is. Bungie claims that this massive quest will only be offered once, with the cut-off date being September 9. Bungie is however also teasing that anyone who holds the emblem, “will be rewarded” when The Taken King launches.
Some of those tasks are hellishly difficult. Crota and Skolas raids on hard mode will most likely require a ton of co-ordinated teamwork and skill, something which I’m going to fine-tune my Defender Titan for. Lean on me, when you’re not strong, I’ll be your friend, I’ll help you caaaaaaaaarry on!

Destiny suffers from one of the worst cases of Skinner box mechanics I’ve ever seen in a AAA game (rivaled only by WoW), and they sure as shit want you to pay for it.

Excellent video! We’re all puppets on strings, I bought the game and the first season pass. I put in more than enough hours to get my moneys worth and I’ve now seen where they are going with this game. They will not get any more money from me.

Lost interest a while ago, to much grinding and its impossible to do some of the stuff without a co ordinated plan of attack, not gonna bother with the taken king

Guys I play with haven’t played in months, some even haven’t since last year. Why? Because this game forgets that people have busy lives and that other games, better games have released since then. Witcher 3 tells a better story(sorry no, it actually tells a story) , GTA is more fun online most of the times and Panetside 2 runs 100 times better than Destiny does with no disconnections ever so far.
So in a way the only thing Bungie is accomplishing here is pushing casual players out, so hand me a Red Bull so I can swallow my bile. Quitting Destiny now and ignoring future Destiny articles just in case I get sucked back in again.

Oh come on when I am finally keen to get back to it;) But you are right there are sooo many other games to play now days and are coming out. Destiny is a good game if u play it with friends however it just sucks up too much of your time….

They made it much less of time sink… When last did you play? The new systems upgrades you to max level fairly quickly but you do need two other people to do it!!
