In Destiny the developers have unveiled the secret of the hidden room in the raid.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, players in Destiny found a secret room in the new raid. This fit well with the mood of the last weeks, because it’s treasure hunting time.
In the room, players managed to make certain pylons glow by devising a code, then either a Blade Dancer had to glitch over a “ditch” or players could get catapulted there with a special mechanic.
Once that was accomplished, platforms formed and the secret room could be easily accessed.
But then players despaired: Inside the secret room, they could pick up a relic and dunk it, and in the end, everyone received an Overcharge, allowing them to jump higher. But how now to proceed? Where to go from here? Where was the reward?
Yesterday was the first real working day after the weekend when this was found, and there is now a statement from Bungie.
Secret Room in Destiny is Oryx’s Basketball Court
A tweet from the game director of The Taken King, Luke Smith, has now solved the riddle: That was it. The room is an Easter egg.
Smith calls it “Oryx’s Basketball Court.” It’s just a room for fun, to dunk a relic, similar to playing basketball with a quite low-hanging hoop. And there is no loot to be found.
Oryx’s Basketball Court is a fun Easter Egg the team put together. It’s just a place to Dunk like your neighbors 8 ft rim. No loot to find

This would likely be a big topic of controversy on other days, but not today. Because there was some information that could affect the long-term fate of Destiny last night:
