I want Destiny to be a cruel dominatrix that I can chill out with my friends with.

It actually doesn't sound very different from the picture I'd built in my head. I think all this information is out there in some form, and people who are paying very close attention to all the news tidbits (read: people who congregate here) probably were already on the right track. But the huddled masses are probably still very confused. I'm going to start pointing them toward Luke's post. :)

They know they have a message problem (not that this was hard to miss with all the "its borderlands halo mmo" jibber jabber), but will it show when they present themselves at E3? Will they specify this, because I think Luke did a good job clarifying and steering that salt ship away from the rocks (well as much as you can for NeoGAF). They just need to do this at a much larger scale.

At this point is the E3 script already set? Or could they throw this in before the scheduled program?

Or better yet they could just say this...

"Destiny is what you make of it". Amen. ;)

Also Raids are probably set at 6 now. Solves this. Unless of course we can brake it in the beta and make it 8. :P (That's how it works right?)

Edit: In fact - they got 24 hours. Make a VIdoc. :P

Story missions - soloable activities (you can still play them in groups of up to 3!), often with ties to the main story arc of Destiny (the campaign). These activities appear at various Levels (numerical, relative to the player) and choosing a higher level (relative to you) means you're opting in for some additional challenge.

THANK GOODNESS. My only concern now is whether all the story missions will be playable by someone like me who has no interest in leveling up or gathering resources, or if the highest levels require leveling up your avatar to complete because the additional challenge is so much.

Strikes - 3 player activities, with bosses and loot at the end. Their goal is a highly replayable activity that will - at higher levels - lead you into the loot game.

Sounds like Nephalem rifts in Diablo 3, and those get old once you've seen most of the set pieces and bosses. They are only replayable insofar as you have desire for gear. Gear sounds less crucial in Destiny than in D3, so we'll see.

Explore - cruise around the surface of a planet in Fireteams of up to 3, taking odd jobs and tasks for the City. You can find minerals and resources out in the world that you'll have some use for as you find weapons in Destiny that you want to stick with. This is a lower intensity activity.

Sounds like most shitty MMO quests, unless exploration expands story mission options. Filler essentially.

Raids - 6 player, cooperative required, communication required gameplay. High challenge. We haven't talked much about this yet and I'm not going start that conversation here on NeoGAF.

This mode is probably what I want to hear most about in upcoming events / reveals.

Yay English of Mastery! Questions much!

Reading over and over Lukes post these parts jump at me:

Story missions - soloable activities (you can still play them in groups of up to 3!)
Strikes - 3 player activities
Explore - cruise around the surface of a planet in Fireteams of up to 3
Raids - 6 player (Two Fireteams?)

How big is a Fireteam? Or am I reading "team" too literately? Or is the wording just a slip and a fire team is literately a group of three? Does that mean there will be only three people at a time in any one match made space? Or is it just the total amount of people who can be linked with you?...or something. What is the maximum number of people in a game play space? What is to stop them all of joining us? Mega Dance Party in Destiny?!

GAAAA! E3 hurry up ur butt!
