Bungie don't want some weapons to be crafteable and they are not going back to make crafteable old weapons, not all of them
Oh boy
You played Lament mission? Yeah he is
Oh, nvm he is a copy of Clovis Bray that restarted his mind too many times causing irreversible damage to his memory
Is very noticeable in his dialogue
so are wish dragons on our side or are they enemies
Other than someone like Felwinter, yeah
Wrong reply rip
I think someone can explain that better but going to exos
Exos are pretty much artificial humans
Ahamkara were largely manipulative and exploitative of Guardians, and often they caused the deaths of them and even just Awoken citizens
Technically the original humans had a mom and a dad but is not like the exo version has a mom and an exo dad
is riven the exception
And because of that we killed every one of them except Riven, and no Riven is not good either
Ah yeah
so did ahamkaras put the curse on the dreaming city or was that the witness
Riven
interesting
Riven on the behest of Savathûn
It was part of a scheme of Savathûn’s to generate infinite tribute
Unfortunately for her, her worm’s hunger outgrew this anyway
man destiny lore sounds cool
too bad the format is ass
i aint reading 20 million books
it was Savathun’s scheme that Riven performed because a: Savathun had partial control over the taken and Riven couldn’t exactly refuse, but also b: it would be incredibly horrible to the awoken which Riven was 100% behind
I mean that’s like literally every series that has any kind of universe
aside from literal books
all the lore books pre-beyond light are automatically unlocked for everyone
oh
seasonal and some event lore books are unlocked as they happen, but I think also unlock after they’re over
the rest are just tied to triumphs related to specific destinations, quests, or stuff like that
do i read the lore books left to right or up down
Beyond light has a lot of lore books unlocked via collectibles for example
they’re ordered by release left-right
ok
and to be clear, a lot of them are just basically inconsequential
you definitely don’t need to read literally everything
even the ones that are important usually only tie into one thing that you don’t entirely need explained
as much as people like to complain, the main storyline is shown through the campaign missions
omg there are so many books
i aint reading allat
But lore books will give you a new perspective in some characters
Cayde-6 is like 1000 cooler with books
Ishtar Collective has the books organised so you can just read books related to some character or theme
They also have a timeline
so cool that he murdered a dying Eliksni who helped him survive a hive brood only to steal her pistol
I would really like to have the Elsie time travel explained in BL tbh
As far as I understand there's a book explaining it but Elsie mentions it so many times
Damn
While true, that wasn't phrased very well
A cultural misunderstanding with a language barrier lead to a very regrettable outcome
to provide further context to what Mael said, the baroness placed her pistol on the ground beside Cayde after they fought off a group of Hive together
in a lore entry that came out much later, it is explained that two parties placing their weapons down next to each other in a specific orientation was a way to enact a truce
the Eliksni refer to this act as an "ireliis bow"
of course, Cayde was not very familiar enough with Eliksni culture to understand the gesture, so he assumed that she was giving him her pistol
and to the baroness, Cayde reaching towards the pistol was basically him turning down the offer of truce
how high can ikora blink
Probably quite. We don't exactly have a measuring tape, but she did blink between Threshers during the Red War.
why cant we blink like her
does she have other special powers that we cant do?
does zavala have stronger powers
Well, she's one of the most powerful Warlocks to ever exist.
how did she become so powerful
Eating her greens
Meditation, practice, experience, training, natural affinity, drinking lots of milk, eating her veggies, and by being an absolutely terrifying Crucible combatant.
Have you beaten Lord Shaxx in the Crucible or had a 20 match win streak
lord shaxx hasnt offered me a duel
He is also hundreds of years old but his power doesn't seem to be particularly exceptional
Certainly very capable and in mastery of his power, just not Ikora or Osiris level.
Technically not explicitly but is often referred to, and has represented itself, as female
And... does the Traveler eat? No.
if the traveler is a she that means there must be a he traveler
and multiple travelors
None of that means any of what you said
We can’t just impose a binary on an unknowable entity like the Traveler
well how would the travelor be born
well if they are alive then they have to have a birth
According to Unveiling it’s a whole ass creation myth style god
We don't explicitly knows its origin, but its shell is made of materials that existed at the dawn of... existence. It may be as old as the universe.
this is too sciency for me
Point is, we can’t expect it to behave like a bog standard animal or something
Also, I did say it didn't have an explicit gender. Just that it was often referred to as feminine.
oh
Even ships are referred to as such
yeah, I think there was a lore entry that actually described what that shell was made out of
It feels like lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball that you must carry as you move.
which also seems to imply that the Traveler is not the ball
Exactly
you know, I wonder when Unveiling was written
because I'm still thinking that it could hold some truth to the origins of the Traveler and Vex
given what Eido said about the Winnower not aligning with the Witness, maybe Unveiling originated before the Witness' creation
since the Witness' species remade themselves in a way where they left everything behind
which is why the Witness is considered a shadow of its former self, acting in a way contradictory to the beliefs that inspired its own crusade in the first place
is the darkness the Winnower?
the Winnower isn't real
I assure myself, as I ram the Tower gift shop in my shitty bronco
as established in Lightfall, the Light is the physical domain hence why the Traveler, a powerful entity capable of shaping things down to the molecular level, is aligned with the Light
meanwhile the Darkness is the conscious domain, pertaining to the mind
Darkness is a natural force and part of the universe.
the Dark counterpart to the Traveler is the Veil, therefore, we can conclude that the Veil is a shaper of the mind
come to think of it, Entelechy describes the Witness as being able to shape things both physically and mentally
so perhaps the Witness has attained the powers of both the Traveler and Veil
Yer 10 years old as of now as a Guardian; it’s a damn miracle you came out the gate and within like a handful of years, mastered all three Light element subclasses, when such a feat is fairly rare among Guardians in general.
The Young Wolf is literally babby
I need to find that entry again about the percentage of Guardians who master a Subclass
And to elaborate slightly, the Guardian has been active since their first resurrection in Destiny vanilla, with time passing at the same scale as real life since it’s the same planet; meaning that give it take a couple of months which are timeskipped in Red War, the Guardian is about 10 years old
What class was toland
i think he was a warlock right?
Warlock, yes.
Thanks just wondering
Damn²
Why did Oryx Take his own Hive soldiers? What was the point of that?
if you got a super cool new boost of power, why not extend that to your own army? using taken allows for oryx to use a new approach against guardians
And they wouldn’t betray him or disappointment him as often (cough nokris)
Is it a big boost of power? ig I haven't noticed Taken Hive being stronger than normal Hive.
have to also remember that the taken don't just extend to the hive, they also extend to the other races as well, so it helps teamwork-wise since there wouldn't be any doubts between hive if they're all gonna be taken
plus we've seen how the taken have special abilities like splitting themselves
Thrall can shift so yea
The majority of enemies taken are directly more dangerous, some get minor nerfs too
Behold my personal theory on taken prions, they have so much mega mind they can make clones 
Like hobgoblins
Except phalanx
The 3 darts aren’t too bad of a trade for invulnerable
oh plus there's also the other taken things that exist like those shooty portals and the bouncies
Being Taken - as in the process of being transported to the Witness and having your form be molded into a "perfect" soldier - modifies the individual so that 1) they have no will of their own, they are now driven by whoever exerts their will onto them; and 2) their abilities and what not become modified, exaggerated, in a way which supposedly improves their offensive capabilities
The acolyte eyes?
like those portals from hypernet current
Ex. a Taken Knight has their flame grenade modified into a flame breath which covers a much broader area
Oh those
Yea
Actually forget that, remember the taken orbital strikes from d1?
I didn't play d1 because my xbox was never able to download the updates 
Taken posts while I’m here
tbh taken thrall being able to split themselves with seemingly no downside is like unironically one of the most stupid op powers you could have
like yeah you just make a clone of yourself without losing anything
IGNORE THE FREE WILL-
1: psions
2: they have some stuff they can't do anymore
yeah I realized it was psions but I got 4 hours of sleep and I'm guilty gearing rn
Can't nade anymore and restricted to 1 gun type, which is the less deadly one
Thrall however
but like, in general, splitting yourself with no downside is just an absurdly broken power
They can teleport
teleportation is a pretty cool power I guess
but half the enemies do that when I point a rocket at them without being taken 
I just realised the irony of killing oryx with xol
Whisper is the typically used weapon against him

Pretty sure damage splits between them
why is cade saying im his favorite from a radio in Presage
aww.... had my hopes up
Speaking in voices of the dead due to its connection to the Darkness
relatable
Well, Calus wasn’t dead then but
wait
So that was a coffin he was in
Hm?
this time I heard cayde
You see him in a black metal box thing in Lightfall
coffin of eternal darkness? the one used the seal the demon race away all those 3000 years ago?
He wasn’t dead
Then what was that about
Whatever that was just rejuvenated his body or something
Lazarus pit
But Calus was very much alive then
We’d fought him in Haunted and he escaped
Yes that
reddit moment
And then he returns in Lightfall like that

For the Vex
It's fake time travel save for when the Vault of Glass was operating
And I guess the Infinite Forest, but even then it's simply hyper-advanced simulations of the past
could we send them back in time to kill baby witness?
They don't think that way; they only operate based what is most beneficial to their end goal of total assimilation of all existence
what about uh..... "no time to explain" lady
Oh you don't know
And that would require the Vex wiping out the entire Witness civilization
She's more an exception than the rule
What do you mean Tarboy
this is a spoil chat isnt it?
Very simply, there is a somewhat set pattern to her timelooping, however the cause and mechanics behind doing so is not known to her
ah
Do you want a spoiler?
thanks for taking the time to explain
We still have spoiler rules, but there's nothing that needs spoilering rn
sure
The witness is an entire planet's population merged. That's why they call them they/them
Late, revealed a year ago 
the Witness is Tar Boy
What
does nobody know who Tar Boy is
Ok so that's what you meant
No not particularly
Naw

---------------------------...
We're not all veterans of the game
Super late
like november
That’s not true though
The Witness isn’t referred to by they/them
It’s referred to by it/its
they are refered to by My Witness
It is one entity, one mind now
we are batman
It's referred by anything nonspecific
But also yes, they are the majority of an alien civilization merged together; it was just the pronouns being wrong
Gotta wonder what it was doing to the presage scorn sometimes
It is consistently referred to by “it/its” by all lore and dialogue about it
a hyper advanced alien race could probably agree on a gender ngl. unless Witness got the null crotch
Don’t go there

Rule 3
I have heard npcs call it they and them
what, why cant an entity pick
Who?
There's a very specific use of It/It's by others, though on it refers to itself as we which would probably lead people to conclude they/them
When?
oh that
Play Witch Queen
I dont think discussing it in a biological standpoint is considered nsfw
It's fine if we leave it there
It's skirting the line and it's not wise to edge closer into rulebreaking territory
Hey guess what
It's more than that but again it's best to leave it there
Archons keep, siva lore time 
Though ironically, there's at least one individual of that alien race which agreed not to join the merging ritual thing, as revealed in the recent Collector's Edition
?
They got murdered, right?
Perhapance
Idk haven't read much into that one
Destiny 2 is canon in Destiny 2
Betting Witness didn't like that so I'd bet they killed the perceived traitor
I bet twice
Ayo
rule 3
Though it would be the second time I would get a nickle for "Bungie now have one defector of an alien race floating around in the expanse of space, whose fate is now unknown since we don't get anything about them other than they didn't join their race in a wholly transformative ritual which changed them as a species forever"


I have. And from rewatching clips, I can see them still referring to it as “it”
Not “them”
That's cool. I'm not gonna argue like I don't know what I heard
Anyways
They call it anything nonsingular and nongendered
thats a thing
not a person
and the witness is basically a society
it identifies as communism
Pretty much
(comedy)
It's a whole new thing, which is why in-game "It" is the commonly used pronoun to refer to it; it is not the civilization or the individual conciousnesses which merged to bring about its being, it is It, Itself, and It alone
Anyways we should move on
also
Clearly you’re mistaken from the lack of evidence on your side
Eris
Savathun found the witness right?
That’s not a bad thing, but you don’t need to argue against it like this
I don't care
Ehhhhhhh
its The Witness
Huh
call it whatever you want its a clump of pixels
What do you mean?
we heard the name witness from savathuns whispers didnt we
From a memory implanted in Sagira’s shell, yes
Savathûn was how we found out about the Witness, yes. That’s not what you said before though
well savathun had to have found them if she knew of them
To elaborate, the origin of the Hive does not involve them meeting the Witness; however on separate occasions after the Hive have gone on their genocide-path, Savathun was being considered and offered a position as a Disciple, though it had a more close relationship with Oryx having taught him the power of Taking, even referring to him as "My Man"
so the hive started cuz of the lil wormz right?
The Hive Gods knew of the Witness because they were working for it
She didn’t find it. It found them. It created them
The Hive would not exist if not for the Witness
sounds less like a witness and more of an assaulter
anywho, traveler has some damage on the bottom of it, lets go inside

The voiceline of the Witness we hear from Sagira's shell is the truth that Savathun never knew about, even as a Hive God; it reveals that the Witness had slowly been manipulating the Osmium Court's princesses (the soon-to-be Hive God siblings) into taking the deal with the Worm Gods, themselves being strongarmed by Rhulk into following the plan
It would so kill you for trying to get in
s
That memory wasn’t from Sagira’s shell
I will offer it a silver bundle
The memory revealing the Witness’ deception was implanted in the calcified worm familiar
We don’t really know. Unveiling suggested it was a literal creation myth god
ill just use weave walk then
Uh hello
It was her father, actually; he had found a worm washed up on the shore and made it his familiar, to which it fed him misinformation and generally made him a bad ruler and made everyone want to dethrone him; the same worm then guided the Osmium Princesses to the Worm Gods and into accepting the deal with them that would then lead to the creation of the modern Hive
yo
Unveiling could very well be completely wrong
What am I doing rn
Ah oops, my b
so are the worms hive, or are the hive hive? same race?
I dunno, I’m not psychic lmao
Dunno, that's wholly up to you
Worms and Hive are separate species, having a parasitic/symbiotic relationship
so are there more worms
I need a fire team for crucible, can someone help me find one?
They were being made from the flesh of the Mother Worm Xita

Srry I swear I hit right tab lmao
i dont watch that
Np, gl finding a group 
yeah GL
Anyways patience while I finish shit up, or maybe Eris or someone else will come by with an explanation
LFG never responds to me
tell Eris to turn my ghost into a gun

close enough
Lumina it 
I wouldn't give her my ghost for a second after what Elizabeth Bray told me
what did bray tell you
She's a traitor and she used us
If you're basing your information and opinion on Eris after what Elsie told you of an entirely different timeline that's leagues removed, you're under an extremely poor misunderstanding of who our Eris is.
Apparently we have been helping her become a Hive God from what I understand
Already did that
so is Eris hive
I mean Elizabeth is an exo
Good
propaganda about hive
Which she has since willingly given up
is eris hive
No
She banished Xivu Arath from her Throne World and then lost/gave up her power
She’s human with Hive eyes grafted into her face
why
That's super disappointing actually
how
And she learned Hive magic to survive
Bro
None of the other chats are online
She lost her sight in the depths of the Hellmouth
.
Just gave it up before I could shoot those green eyes out
Use the LFG server then
ask these things in discussion not lore!@
Lfg?
Looking for group
I dunno what you mean by that but regardless, you don’t LFG here
I already directed you to multiple sources to do so
its not a garuntee
Either way, thank you for your aid.

Top link there. Not the channel link at the very top but the hyperlink at the top of that list
Anyway so Eris Morn lost her eyes. Continue
She stole an Acolyte’s to replace them
Eventually she managed to escape the Hellmouth
She then dedicated herself to revenge against the Hive
And helping humanity generally
This is gruesome but she probable had to cut through her skull to put the forehead eye in. Or is it above the skin somehow?
They don’t really explain the specifics of the process at all lmao
Probably because it's too brutal
But it doesn’t seem to be protruding out from her head so
Damn that's metal
It is under rags tbf
SO. Hive and their Worms.
Being literally of the same flesh as a Worm God but significantly more diminuative in power and size, Worms are able to process "Death" in as many figurative forms as possible, which includes literal death since what can be more symbolic than the literal thing? They process this death into Ascendent Energy/Power, which they then can consume wholly, or they leave some for their Hive host to hold onto as well. The more Ascendent Power you have, the more stronger you are due to your Paracausal empowerment.
This process also coincides with the species-wide religion of the Sword Logic, in which the Strong cull the Weak, and to kill something is to prove you are more deserving to exist than what has been killed. Kill to assert your right to exist more than the others, feed your worm with the kills you produce, the worm feeds and provides you power to better kill; rinse and repeat.
Damn wonder what happened to that acolyte 
so there are hive gods, from before savathun and the brood?
Before the helium drinkers?
I think worm gods existed but hive gods didn’t
so Savathun is a normal hive, become a god
They wanna be the old Sith Empire so bad
but who are the original hive gods
so there were no gods before them?
Worm gods before that
where are those
There were no Hive before them
Wherever rhulk found them 
well who are the worms inside of then
All Hive
you said worms are inside hive
Yes
Krill and other species?
The only exception to this rule are the Hive Gods: Oryx, the Navigator Savathun, the Queen of Lies/Witch Queen, and Xivu Arath, Hive God of War.
As you may notice, they have some particular titles attached to them, and this is because they have more significant "natures" that they must follow: Oryx to navigate and discover, Savathun to decieve and lie, and Xivu Arath to wage war. In addition to killing, they gain Tithe from following their natures, which feeds their worms as well
did the 3 sisters and Oryx cause the hive population or what
Oryx was one of the three sisters
The Hive existed before they were... Hive as we know them
Oryx was born Aurash, a female Krill
Aurash became Auryx, male Hive
After taking the King morph
so Oryx is a woman filling the role of king?
Bug stuff
or we talking gender swapping like a frog
Paracausal gender swap
I mean, I suppose so
Hive morphs are funky. Oryx took the King morph, Savathûn the mother morph and Xivu the Knight morph iirc
its an annoying thing to think of since its not something humans can do, but theres things like frogs and lizards that do it
cuz hive feel rather human
other than thrall
Ogre morph when 
Ironic Savathun would be the mother morph when she would be the worst mother because all she does is lie
So like, the usual mother?
Honey
still
I mean not ideally
average worm mom
She said that? 
to Eris yes
Season of the witch moment
Is that Xivu? Who is that?
"Eris Morn is the strongest Hive there has ever been."
Season of the Witch's story isn't over just yet...

That’s Eris’ Hive form she took on last season
Oh
Revenge I think?
Tight
wish we coulda turned that hive form into a gun ngl
You got parasite yet?
Or whisper?
that aint Eris
Shhhh
I want eris specifically turned into a gun
With enough ornaments it will be
and IT BETTER FIRE ORBS

orbs im gonna put
not only has she had the least amount of children out of essentially all hive (they’re born to broodmothers, but she only had 2)
ON YOUR MAP
she’s also not even on the “well hive express love through violence” page
she just genuinely has zero care for either children
Forgot broodmothers existed, wonder if we’ll fight another one
so
both existed solely for one specific purpose and were discarded the moment they couldn’t fulfill them
Crota is son of?
Oryx
a
who mom
hush im working
Crota, daughter of oryx due to a typo a few ears ago 
nobody knows
or do hive lay eggs or somethin
because it’s not important
it is too me
I kinda am curious
they lay eggs which if you know anything about basic biology
wow
Oryx is a scout you FOOL
both things are wrong in this statement
Crota*
congratulations
I MEANT CROTA
also wrong
Necrocasm????
ITS TOO LATE
neither became guns
we just ripped out their hearts and stuffed them into weapon frames
Just some guardian gun crota played with

The proto-Hive originated from Fundament, a gas giant which had a constant rain of new species coming from its orbiting moon; the proto-Hive were one such species, and had established a civilization with a basis on a similar philosophy to the Sword Logic. The ruling family of the Krill (the new name of the proto-hive thanks to Byf) was the Osmium Court, with the Osmium King as patriarchy and his three daughters - Sathona, Xi Ro, and Aurash. This message (#📚lore-discussion message) continues the origin of the Hive, but to recap: a worm was planted to feed the Osmium King false information, causing strife during his rule and eventually culminating in a revolt from the Helium Drinkers (just a different faction of Krill). He left said worm familiar to his daughter Sathona, and it led her to where the Worm Gods were being held captive deep in the methane oceans of Fundament, where they made a deal with the Worm Gods to perpetuate the cross-species relationship they have now currently.
Additional tidbits, the Traveler was just about to visit Fundament, but the Worm Familiar lied to the sisters about how the Traveler's arrival coinciding with the alignment of the planets in their solar system - a syzygy - would cause a massive tidal wave which would've wiped out their species. This and also being overthrown from their royal positions pressured Sathona to accept the deal with the Worm Gods
Eris hold still I just need ur heart...
Whoa
if I steal a strand of your hair and put it on a desk, have you become said desk
yes
Anyways Oryx is now a he but was formerly a she
Wrong time for romantics 
I watch everything you do
lucky for me, desks don’t talk
the fastest way to a womans heart is a sword after all
desk to desk communication

I believe I got everything right, I'd ping Mael to check but he's probably just waking up before heading to work
Anyways, dreadnaught
one particular way
is that "eye" the immortal dude from D1 who was hiding in a corner
wait no that was a thrall
I think.
Zavala cranking 90s with vegeta isnt canon?
so much for asking goku to solo the witness
Oryx, having a job title which should've had him as an absentee dad, Oryx is unironically the best Hive God parent compared to the others
The thrall in cosmodrome wasn’t immortal I think (you were weak) but yea similar jobs
so much for turning goku into a Heavy trace rifle 

when you dont own the DLC its immortal
To which, the Books of Sorrow (essentially the bible for the Hive) having a funky sitcom tone is very funny to read considering all the characters in it are genocidal bug people
are the books written or does eris just quote them randomly
The books were originally written on pieces of a Worm God's husk, the same one whom Oryx made his ship out of
What? His ship's a...
we have some passages
wack
Bruh
obviously bungie isn’t going to write a literal entire religious text
dread was a worm?
just look at Ishtar, grimoire for the calcified fragments
those are books of sorrow entries
It'd be true commitment to their art though. I'd commend it
also fun fact
wow that was fun
Oryx’s va wished to go uncredited to remain anonymous
why
when asked why, bungie’s official response was that they tend to “go to dark places”
In trying to seek out more power because their worms' hunger was starting to outpace their tithing and they hadn't yet established the tithe pyramid scheme, Oryx killed Akka, the worm of secrets and gained audience with the Witness (under the alias "The Deep"); he then proceeded to make the Dreadnaught out of Akka's body
tell Akka her insides were annoying as hell to navigate
so on another topic
Ahamkara cease to exist if they grant their own wish?
I stop paying attention to Destiny lore for a couple years and I suddenly don't know anything
he died
Another fun incident is when Savathun tricked Crota into opening a hole in Oryx's throneworld, which then let in a tidalwave of Vex. To prevent this from happening again, Oryx turned his Throneworld inside out and made it the interior of the Dreadnaught, rather than just resting somewhere on the Ascendent Plane. This is a holiday among the Hive, and to celebrate they turn anything and everything inside out. Including living beings.
the dialog made it seem like he died for granting his own wish
the process produces what ahamkara feed on
the process takes energy
and they get nothing from granting their own wishes
so it just killed him
so they CAN survive?
no
if strong enough?
Granting their own wish outright kills them
so they have exactly enough energy for 1 wish
so they always have just enough for a single wish, which is returned on use
but not on self use
Wish dragons do have simple “life” 
do we know of a limit to ahamkara wishes?
you’re just over complicating it
They can grant as many wishes so long as it is not exact to what the wisher wants, as they quite literally feed on the disparity between what is wished for and what reality is
there’s not a set number
I wanna know, I like wish lore
it’s not like a mana stat
they can grant other’s wishes
that gives them sustenance
so "make me a sandwich" would get the best results by turning the wisher into a sandwich?
Granting their own wish doesn’t
that’s not a wish
"I wish you to make me a sandwich"
they would turn you into a sandwich out of pure spite
what if 2 ahamkara wish at each other
it’s not in their nature to cooperate with each other
they mate
at the end of the day they still are animals
and Riven shows they clearly love their mate
almost no animal irl mates for life
the entire point of this was showing her relationship was special
now what if you wish for the power to grant wishes
it is the exact opposite of the default
Aw dragon romance
a topic im well versed on
what wishes would they want
Quite literally, Ahamkara purposefully fuck up wishes like a monkey's paw because they feed on the divide of "reality-as-is" and "reality-as-desired", which considering that's how the ahamkara work makes analyzing the worms' ability to generate ascendent power easier as you can just say they feed off of forcing one's "reality-as-desired" into "reality-as-is" as well as denying others' "reality-as-desired"
she was taken
They quite literally live off of fucking people's wishes up
so Riven is likely gonna fuck us over?
She can't, she's done with it all
also, "the wish given to the guardian in secrecy" do we know the wish from savathun?
I mean she's already dead so what's she gain by fucking it up
Ahamkara can't necessarily die in a conventional way, but once they're dead they choose to stay dead unless otherwise
post death comedy
While she gains her eggs if she does
oh thats the other thing
Yo what
were gonna crush those eggs after right?
Dude
Oryx logic 
Ahamkara bones are known to grant wishes and emit whispers
It's how Eris lost her eyes
Damn, that's just mean (though I get it)
Again what
We already genocided their race, and then to do it again after saving it
the ahamkara are apparently bad enough to require a genocide of the species
so theres no way we just let em grow
I feel like Eris' Hellmouth adventure was explained already
You said they choose to stay dead which means they could also choose to be alive. Wtf
I mean you could just have faith that if we leave em alone they'll leave us alone
what if they discover my idea
and grant each others wishes
brb im in a trash compactor
Having me and my entire race genocided would make me not want to further interact with normal reality, me thinks
That's true
Though again, some of them were just dickheads and none of them really cared save for Taranis
Are we the baddies?
We're people, just trying to be as good as we can
the helmet stays on after all
He curb stomped hungry beggar humans during the Dark Ages
Shaxx used to routinely beat starving refugees to death
Funni
get some light losers
He helped them get it sooner; ghosts can only choose dead people
No. Not my man
Being srs right now, no that was a bad thing
"cut the homeless in half"
He very much regretted it, as he let Mithrax know
again, it was literal murder of innocent people
With his bare hands
no light, no weapons
just splatters and crunches
Now he shouts at children in dodgeball (the good ending)
Dear Traveler, my right shoulder blade hurts like a mfer
Well, he yells because he’s enthusiastic. I’m not sure if he literally screams at children
Damn I was gonna take a nap but I might log back on
just remove it from your body stupid
based on how he is when winning in trials, he is screaming....
bro rolls his Rs
Shaxx isn’t in trials
you clown
"A weapon hides nothing. It is what it is. Whether it wants to be or not." —Saint-14 to Shaxx

To be the first Eliksni to bask in the presence of the Traveler since the Whirlwind was an honor that Mithrax, Kell of House Light, never imagined for himself. As he stood on the Tower walkway below the scar left in the wake of the Almighty, he medita...
you circus dweller
I dont do normal PvP so
CIRCUS DWELLER HAHAHAHAHA
you absolute buffoon
Oh my god that's so good
first on screen kiss
what makes saint special lore wise
first on screen kiss
what makes saint, with helmet on, special
he can take it off to kiss his boyfriend
Espurr im gonna unwind ur threads I swear to god
It’s Saint, legendary titan

are you bad at reading
it’s literally in my nickname
Killed a Shit-Ton of Eliksni - they weren't even combatants, some of them - as well as kicking the ass of a metric fuckton of Vex both before and after getting his Light taken
Lemme get videos of all of em quick
Do exo have lips to kiss?
I will unwind ur yarn and make you into a depresso
you are a verified game journalist
yes
some of them just have plating in front of it, but they all have lips
Tbf so did I
all exo bodies
and Ada is the most blatant evidence that a mind will grow up
Also the only example
so
the answer is no
Heroes and villains are all a matter of perspective. Mithrax tells the Eliksni bedtime story of the monster known as "The Saint".

Ever since I found this Easter Egg, I've wanted to get in the vault. I finally did. Its a good shotgun, too.
Ada has early 20s vibes
You have only killed combatants; Saint went out of his way to just kill any and all Eliksni
Ada’s like a 1000 basically
1000 year old dragon girl?
Sorry misread
The smallen 
confusing logic with a robot
So I can kiss Ada-1 obviously
Dragon?
what does that mean
its a joke
Is Eva Levante a guardian?
I totally don't want to do the same
Nope
Elaborating on that Vex feat, 1) he was in the Infinite Forest to look for his boyfriend Osiris; 2) all piles of Vex around his tomb are just from him being lightless (we can assume). He was enough of a threat that the Vex had to dedicate a frame to holding his Light so they could have a chance to kill him, to which it took them a fucking lot of Vex
How is she even alive?
Exactly! Eido's a sweetheart
If she’s a normal human
are vex robots or biological like a transformer
She's just an senior citizen from the Last City.
purely mechanical
who runs them
there is no biological matter in them at all
I was lying
Transformers have none either
I meant are they alive or a machine
yeah but they’re not like transformers
Because humans are capable of living?
I don’t understand the question
so something has to be at the head of the vex
oh shit
whos in charge
they’re literally revived by the traveler same as humans
I thought she was like a 1000 years old
nothing
I misread
not how they work
So that's what their faces look like
Vex are from traveler????
Ahh
As a Transformers nerd, they're also kinda mostly mechanical; but the Vex are majorly mechanical with the only slightly biological component being the Radiolaria which houses their collective consciousness
exos
I meant the Vex
also not what the statement reads
Exos are human minds in a robot
God give me a minute, I geuninely need to get my should blade fixed
neither are from the traveler
I wanna know whos in charge of the Vex
nobody
then what are they trying to do
they do not have society or culture
Achieve their Final Shape
they’re effectively the most advanced infection in the galaxy
Turn everything Vex
they do exactly what bacteria does
so they are legit mindless?
is the Black Garden its own entity?
no and no
Like not on any planet
vex have minds
Were some of them just always robots? Like made exos
but they also build multiple chassis for such minds to inhabit
so theres no chance of a Vex becoming friendly
Only Felwinter
none
Felwinter doesn’t count
He absolutely counts
he was never “something” before
Felwinter
he was created to be as close to a normal exo as possible
whats up with the ghost in his helmet
He’s an artificial mind in an Exo frame and is referred to as an Exo
there wasn’t anything for him to be
it’s literally explained in the helmet lore
he killed a warlord and stuck their ghost to his helmet
no
Kinda sorta but not really; it's hard because they don't have a conventional mindstructure nor goal that we're really familiar with
not every piece of gear is a canon thing
More like the Flood
Flood has a mind
Because. Bungie
as we see with giant worm who talks to Chief
That's the Gravemind, but the flood as a whole are more akin to what the Vex are
Vex, Flood, Dalek, Infested
individual thought
all the same basically?
who made the vex then
how does that work
they had to start from something
and they did
Who made humans
a god or so
We don't really know, we don't have much on their origins
a biological organism
according to earth lore, Chuck Norris

do you know how bacteria evolved
cuz im lazy and dont wanna clean
space dust just smashing together until it formed habitable conditions
who made the space dust
😎
Sheldon
Bazinga?
yes
The only entry which claims to give an origin for them is at best from the perspective of our enemy but still true, at worst the Witness' biased and unverifiable explanation for the Vex's origins
Oh God, not TBBT
who made Sheldon
btw
was the traveler really trapped by Ghaul, or was it like "ok lets see what happens"
Big Bang Theory is insufferable at its worst but it has some good moments. Just a shame it's all together as a series
Really trapped
Only a fan would abbreviate it like that
but it broke itself out at the end?
the bionical boys together
and it all started
Confirmed
B]
Oh he made it his own abbreviation
Or she idk
T Fortnite
B Battle
B Pass
T Yeah
Get out
nu i have more lore question
Man if I got started on Bionicle lore
Shoot
ahem
Yes fire
is traveler alive or is there something inside
She is her own being, yes
its a she?
she sentient
It's like a lore video with no ads
The traveler has a gender?
why is the light so quietr

There's not technically anything which would point to her gender nor does she really require one, but she often presents herself as She
how does an orb present
Fr
That was the Witness; in reality, the Darkness don't talk either
if the darkness dont talk, who are the mighty fine statues of
