Destiny Year One reward detailed on Bungie Day

Bungie has announced what Year One Destiny players will be able to earn just in time for The Taken King.

July 7, 2015 12:21 PM

Bungie has revealed it will be offering an exclusive emblem for Destiny players who have been around for the first year of the game’s ups, downs, and in-betweens.

This exclusive emblem can only be achieved by players who have achieved ten Moments of Triumph by September 9. If Guardians are unable to complete these moments a few days prior to the release of The Taken King, they lose their chance to earn it forever.

The Moments of Triumph require Guardians to complete the following tasks:

Apprentice of Light: A character reached the maximum level
Light of the Garden: 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 Vex Citadel
Bane of Skolas: Defeated Prison of Elders on Hard Difficulty
Bane of Atheon: Defeated Atheon on Hard Difficulty
Bane of Crota: Defeated Crota on Hard Difficulty
Public Servant: Completed 50 Public Events
Crucible Gladiator: Won 100 Crucible Matches
Chest Hunter: Found all Golden Chests

Players will be able to track their progress towards completing the Moments of Triumph through the Destiny companion app. Once you have completed the Moments of Triumph, you’ll be rewarded with the Laurea Prima emblem as soon The Taken King is launched on September 15.

    Anyone that has been playing the game every week since launch should have all the challenges done already, except for maybe the gold chest one as eventually you didn't need what they had in them.

        Never stopped me, just have to use one of the many LFG sites, or /r/fireteams. Also if you are on xbox add me even though I think you're ps4 and europe time so it might not work. I've usually got enough friends late at night we can get a raid going.

        You think matchmaking is going to somehow reduce the number of children and halfwits on your team??

        Bungie isn't going to build a system into their game that supports the type of discrimination and elitism that plays out on the 3rd party sites.
        
        The matchmaking that exists in the game is inclusive. Unfortunately, it does mean they haven't found a way to make their end content automatically accessible to everyone.

      Playing since the alpha and haven't killed skolas because fuck no checkpoints. after the first week of spending 2.5hrs as a 33 in 34poe I am not willing to waste that much time in a row with a chance of it not all being for naught if we want to give up for the night

  I just picked up the vanilla edition (PS4) for $20 on Amazon. Not sure if I'm going to get far enough into it to pick up the expansions, but what I've played so far has been a lot of fun! Are the people that always complain about it the type of people that play an MMO for 20 years and bitch about "the shitty endgame" or something? Not sure why people hate on it so much, but I'm only a level 7.

    The biggest complaints are lack of story and lack of content. I love it though, I still play it from time to time. If you ever make it to level 30+ add me on ps4 for some end game content. ps4 nickname: Nogrhi

      I guess I can see those complaints, but the shooting feels solid, I love the art design/graphics, leveling my dude has been fun and rewarding and of course.... Loot. Maybe my expectations were just severely lowered after hearing so many complaints.

      Heh. I guess I could see that being a pretty big problem for a $60 game that was meant to have MMO tendencies. Oh well! I've already got my $20 worth.

    Wait until you hit max level and finish the story. Unless you enjoy the PvP there is nothing to do except grind Strikes.
    
    I only have the vanilla one as well and can't speak for the DLC.
    
    That said, I enjoyed the shit out of this game with the Shackers I played with. Unfortunately I burned myself out and hit 30 pretty quickly with really lucky drops in the Vault.

      Yeah, I guess that's my thing. I'm not really thinking of it as an MMO so if I don't play it all year for 10 hours a day I don't think I'll mind its shortcomings.

    I've heard from some of my friends who played since launch that the game used to be much worse. Loads of quality of life changes in the last two expansions, as I understand it.

    Story is... people say its shitty, I think its ok it just isn't anything special. You kinda have to search for the story in there yourself.
    
    The gameplay and gunplay is fucking amazing though - I quit playing after the first expansion dlc as I was pissed off that all my armour / weapons were instantly screwed over (I had the raiding stuff, after the expansion even the default shit you can buy was better than the raid gear)
    
    I keep getting the itch to play again though and I think enough time has passed for me to calm down over how they handled the weapon/armour upgrades

  This game became antithesis of what I appreciate in video games. Useless awards for stupid grind and no matchmaking support for endgame activities. They really want to get rid of everybody but hardcore players with their own fireteams.

    Couldn't agree more. The shitty attitude towards the playerbase doesn't exactly help either.
