didn’t even know there were types
Earthborn aren't attuned to Mara and the Reef the way Reefborn are
do you think the aphelions will slime us if we tried to approach them
slime?
The whats?
what if we throw the traveler at them
you got a permit for that?
the paracasual entities at the asteroid belt stalking the reef
they’re unstoppable
How come we've never seen one?
Unclear, probably Mara pissed them off and they have a grudge against the Awoken for it
Mara can't do anything without causing a century-long grudge
so that means they’re going to target mara soon
right
which is a problem for the rest of the awoken
they haven't gone after her thus far
which is a problem for the guardians
Guardians grabbing popcorn and cheering
Hey, if we get Mara to give up Oryxs power, makes some interest with whats going down in Heresy
there is no evidence for that at this time
Get Mara to do WHAT?
You didnt know?
She grabbed Oryx's power after we killed him, ergo how shes been able to crack Pyramid ships
it's not like she currently holds the power of oryx iirc
Mara claimed part of Oryx's power after we killed him
i can’t wait to turn an aphelion into a gun 
she can't do what he did
Oh, you mean back in D1
she just added it to boost her own stuff
also dont really think she could do a transfer
would you guys use an aphelion gun
We use Savathuns worm as a gun
Remember the crowd you are speaking to
Wait
if we could kill the witness but we stand no chance against the aphelions
That was one of my questions
then does that mean the aphelions are stronger than the witness
How is it possible to have more than one ammo for the worm grenade launcher at all?
we didn't even really kill the witness
and even then
Paracausal bullshit
Next question?
it was 12 guardians siphoning the traveler's power directly from the source
We didn't stand a chance against the Witness either
it's not like we just shot it a bunch
oh so that means we can kill aphelions
joy
No
Yeah, we went into its brain and stabbed it a bunch with swords to lobotomize it
We'd need help
what if we simply said "aphelion no swiping" and then they leave
A battle against "the" Darkness was won in the mind
a guy soloed it before
Doesn't count
he also solo'd his marriage
some guy soloed master excision
Now the "real" Darkness is causally talking to us and says we are a frustrating friend
which, mind you, is the canon end to the witness
Oh
i feel genuinely zero respect for eso because of his life choices quite literally being putting a hobby before his personal relations
Oh! I just remembered the question
Is the heresy in Heresy on the part of the followers of Sword Logic or on our part?
both essentially
True, but the Techeuns aren't soldiers. They're seers, healers, and the like.
the way guardians kill big targets is by weakening them first
we're momentarily playing along with the echo because we have its attention but we're not going to claim it
It's why Petra dropped out. She didn't have the... Temperament.
name one major raid boss we killed without weakening
argos
More like she did have temperament
we just shot at him
no major bosses like oryx
technically we didn't weaken Atheon, we were simply empowered by something that could actually hurt him
he is a major boss
Petra the type to get the most kills as a support
he's the final boss
is he paracasual
ig
or aksis
Taniks is unkillable
Atheon is Vex so probably not paracausal
he seems pretty dead atm
or insurrection prime
No*
*Sort of
he is the lord of time bending entities that can vaporize you from existence as they please
The Vault of Glass is suggested to have been enabled through power shared by the Sol Divisive and Black Heart
So it is, tangentially, paracausal
so that says a lot about him
which was due purely to technology only accessible in a tiny little cave on venus
it wasn't even his power
it's the oracles
the oracles are entities arent they?
the Oracles ony search the timestream and mark things to be negated
the negating itself is done by Atheon and Templar
mind you a few taken were let loose inside the vault and the vex were entirely outmatched they literally had to open the door for us and let us take care of it
the Gorgons can just erase you by seeing you
those things intrigue me the most
i'll be asleep then
ping me in 9 hours
in a scary kind of way
just imagine being a guardian in the vault of glass and you venture through the gorgon cave
and you get spotted
you know you’re fucked with no way out
it’s terrifying
when i first played D1 for the very first time i thought the "fallen" would be some kind of zombie human type
then i was disappointed to see bug people
you’re GOING to die
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyLore/s/g6fQ2QsgTb
Here is my opinion on the Vault of Glass and why it has never been recreated with new Oracles or Gorgons
I will return after I get home in a couple hours
destiny has some scary corners of lore
The Vex using bot mods
The Aphelion hasn’t made any major moves save for those 5 techeuns and that radioactive space station the Awoken had to abandon, certainly not enough moves to warrant more major action by any other parties, aligned with or against us or otherwise
you know, they never really went into why some Taken have red coloratipn
Very important to note that the way that Vex warp time is entirely causal and does not necessarily equate to paracausal capability. Atheon/the Vault of Glass could edit the history within the physical bounds of… itself, but it was a resource intensive endeavor that, with the help of Kabr’s sacrifice creating the Aegis, we toppled down pretty succinctly
Very, very op ability by the Vex… if they weren’t so limited in its application
No given reason but some assume it's age and/or strength
A Hydra with arms is weird
so why was the hypernet boss red
it's coded as a minor enemy 

It grampy
oh no
So you're saying it's always the Hydras?
i have never considered the possibility that people here know what deltarune is
this is freaky
no most of them are normal taken
Yeah, but it's only Hydras that have been seen getting red
Cabal mini gun guy with blinding rockets
shrug
and our lad kelgorath prior to his demotion
I remember the blinding rockets from somewhere
But minigun could be any of them
No
its design is pretty similar to other Dreadnaught stuff as well as King's Fall weapons
what is the voice in vesper’s host talking about
I see chance I’ll take it
The single slit helm design for these colossus enemies is sick, the current one isn’t horrible but I see why everyone laments the uniformity of enemy designs come D2
If if the gun is normal sized, and the minigun is that big, the microgun should be the size of Calus
Also the super spike pauldrons
Cabal and Vex have yet to get a subfaction in D2 with D1 designs
submarine mine fashion goes hard
I don't care what anyone says, Calus was truly the biggest emperor of all
i do appreciate also that all the dire enemies are D2 models
really sells the "shit is getting fucked now" idea
Hive got the Hidden Swarm reprisal while Fallen got House Salvation
I wonder if Dire Taken will properly replace the Taken we had prior
What are Dire Taken?
doubt it
the new taken in heresy
new Taken variants we got in Heresy
Ah
they have switched up abilities
they're Taken with tentacle growths on them
like dire psions shoot out axion bolts that taken hobogoblins usually do
some have abilities from different Taken
dire vandals are cloaked like taken minotaurs
In Spanish they're called Fatal Taken
some have abilities from other enemies
(Funesto)
like Dire Taken Knights have the Weaver Strand ability
Strand beam
One of the new Taken Vex sorta tethers you to them
Dire Goblins's hinder your movements
Or it could just be a weird thing that isn’t a tether
Ah it is a tether
dire thrall spawn the mines that were previously just static elements
Dire Vandals are invisible
Dire captains deploy the Ward of Blight
Dire Centurions shoot blinding darkness blasts
Dire Minotaurs have a Duskfield grenade around them
Dire acolytes spawn a shadow war beast when they die
basically duskfield shanks
or that one bane
They push you
dire
that's a normal taken ogre
their blasts already push you
Oh
All cool until a Dire Wyvern shows up
though they also gained a higher level of aggression and will charge towards you now
you know, it's been confirmed that Taken we kill don't really die, they just go back to the Ascendant Plane
what happens to the ones we do kill in there then?
Quira was left with some free will
yeah, but she's one of the only examples of that while many other Taken have the red on them
like the Lake of Shadows boss, or the Taken Colossus and Ogre we fought in Taken King
perhaps its to reflect the hidden swarm
Oryx's brood
they have red armor
oryx took all of them
wait nevermind
i thought the hidden swarm was either savathun's or xivu's brood
oh
nope
they're crota's
so i guess in a roundabout way they're oryx's
ah right
then Savathun goaded them into starting the events of Shadowkeep
then they became Xivu's proxy
lmao so every hive god has had their hands on them
still I think the red armor of the hidden swarm could be something
i think that's just how their chitin naturally looks
something is up with the Hidden Swarm
you can see that it resembles the Scarlet Keep
It can also just be to better associate them with the nightmares which they caused to manifest from the Luna Pyramid
and parts of Crota's Temple/Hellmouth were transforming
oh yeah true
maybe it just has to do with them worshipping the keep and just
styling themselves after it and spreading it?
So Oryx confirmed the Winnower
Aye
Though it was confirmed back in FS near the very end, but yes, he did
You call us Winnower, we are not.
We are but the FIRST KNIFE, clutched in its hands😤
So is lubrae destroyed? I know the lubraeans were wiped out by rhulk, but what if the actual structure of the planet, and the suns? How does one shatter a sun?
The short answer is that they were plugged into the sun
And then Rhulk reversed the polarity because he's an angry gamer man
Damn rhulk really icarus'd his species
I read the lore book but I didn’t catch that
(Their folly was their intended salvation. Siphoning light from the Sapphiric Sun itself. I use your Luster. Turn their technology against them, like a backfired pistol.)
(A shattered sky. A planet convulsing. Tearing apart.)
Ok so instead of the sun going to lubrae, lubrae went to the sun
Uh, sort of? Something like that. Doing what he did "upended" Lubrae, tore it apart. Probably the entire solar system along with it.
It isn't exactly precisely detailed
So that’s what would happen if he used the upended in savathun’s throne world
So we can safely say that lubrae probably doesn’t exist anymore
Well, maybe, yeah. That also wasn't detailed.
Oh definitely not
Not whole, anyway
Oryx has a ghost?
No.
oh right you also asked here
At the end of Ghosts of the Deep there was a Ghost attempting, yet failing, to resurrect him. This Ghost was not paired to Oryx.
Excuse me?
you asked in #❓destiny-questions and i recommended #📚lore-discussion , not seeing you had in fact also asked here
Why couldn’t we hear xivu’s voice
Voice actor strikes.
voice actor strike
voice actors, they are on a strike
Why
It means the voice actors as an industry are going on strike over AI
Oh snap
That sucks
Hope that gets resolved soon
Thanks for clearing that up for me
https://www.sagaftra.org/contracts-industry-resources/contracts/interactive-media-video-game-strike
here's the details if you want to know more
weird question but how come oryx have kids? i thought the hive reproduce asexually
Asexual reproduction is still reproduction
No? They have mates
well no i meant like, they reproduce from a brood like how bees reproduce
For standard infantry yes
But those are still the result of a brood mother and a mate
The osmium court only really had a few children if any
Oryx only had four biological children
Osmium court is the main three hive god siblings because their father was the osmium king
mhm
Standard infantry is literally just what it sounds like, nameless rando hive
Like the hive on the tangled shore were just from some brood leftover
They have brood mothers whose sole job is to spawn as many thrall as possible
I don’t recall any mention of asexual reproduction ever being a thing for hive
They would’ve had mates
The only confirmed identity of one being Omnigul for Crota
In terms of what
Brood mothers exist solely to produce as many hive as they can because it’s their job, any other pairing is because those hive specifically want to have their own spawn
Which was the case of oryx, he desired children so he had children
With whom isn’t really important
Aren’t there like four-five children of xivu in game and like 3 of savathuns
iirc Savathun only had two and then all of Xivu’s kids are minibosses in the DC
Dul incaru, malok and balwur no?
I don’t know the third one who is that
We barely know anything about dul incaru tbf
But given that Savathun effectively only had her other kids do one specific thing their whole life it’s safe to say she wasn’t in it for the love
Savathun has the least amount of kids and the least amount of care for them
Yeah it’s weird that oryx is the only one that like. Truly cared for his children
She literally just had Malok to get him to steal from oryx
Oryx is just based giving his new nephew a good job
Xivus children just get shit on when they show up
true
I’m pretty sure most of them were taken also
I think three were taken and one got killed in shattered realm.
Since Maya turned some vex back into precursor frames, do you think that means they have regressed back to older technology and are not as advanced as their present day counterparts now?
The precursor frames are basically just style
There's nothing about them that works different from other vex besides the wyverns being more aggro
Vex don’t really change much because they see themself as perfection
I see
smarter wyverns
This is going to be a weird question, but you know how the footsteps of hobgoblins and goblins sound light and robotic? Do the footsteps of minotaurs and wyverns sound big and imposing and heavy?
I would assume so. This is something you'd have to research for yourself, in game or through audio files.
Wait, Rhulk went into Oryx’s Throne World?
chances are, he's kept tabs on each of the Hive Gods at some point
we know for a fact he spent a lot of time with Savathun
it's hard to say exactly when Rhulk obtained the chisel
Is Devrim Kay a Guardian or just a random guy who is for some reason allowed to stay alone on the EDZ?
He's not a Lightbearer
Like his daughter, Hawthorne
However, Hawthorne was given the title of honorary Guardian despite not ever being a Lightbearer herself
she could learn how to use Darkness though.
To clarify on the second part, some people prefer to live outside the City. Hawthorne was kinda forced to leave because she pissed off Hideo so her fathers, Mark and Devrim, left the city with her.
Hawthorne also never really liked living in the City in the first place
Anyways, just because they aren't Lightbearers, doesn't mean they aren't good fighters
After all, Guardians can't do all the of the work on their own
Who's Hideo?
Executor Hideo, Last City Consensus representative for the New Monarchy faction
They sought to maintain peace in the Last City and to peacefully instate an unquestionable Monarch to lead the City
Which doesn't really sound like the best idea
The Last City was ran by a Consensus which used to consist of The Speaker, the three Guardian Vanguards, and a few representatives from various leading factions.
Which there were three of
New Monarchy, which I just explained
Dead Orbit, who wanted to convince everyone in the Last City to abandon Earth and fond a new place to live
And finally, Future War Cult, who were very secretive and were focused on preparing for future conflicts
"Traveler brings scary things so we wanna abandon it and run away"
After the speaker died, the Consensus continued to go without him
Then Cayde died and the Gunter Vanguard spot was left vacant for years
The what
Eventually, Lakshmi-2, the FWC rep, had enough of what the Vanguard were doing and conspired with the other 2 factions to stage a coup
This coup ended up causing the Vex to attack the City
Lakshmi was killed and the remnants of the factions fled to an unknown destination
(Savvy Thoon was involved here, naturally)
She help convince Lakshmi to do it
So now the Consensus is pretty much just the Vanguard, though Bungie has teased the potential for the City to get an update in its governing system.
Ok, so reading some more, it seems like some people who chose to live outside of the City are trying to reclaim lost land
So that's another motivation
Wait
Wasn’t lakshmi maya sundaresh?
Did the echo bring her back?
Lakshmi was a copy of Maya's mind created by the Veil
Because she was bored
So she duplicated herself
Jokes aside, Maya was in huge fuck around territory with the Veil
after coming into close contact with the veil, all exos that were part of the exodus crew died
maya decided to use it as a research opportunity
Lakshmi was left brain dead by the Veil's radiation
So basically weird shit happened
So Maya used Lakshmi to house the copy of her mind made by the Veil
Then Maya would "die" when communing with the Veil
Was lakshmi an existing exo frame?
yes
Ah makes sense
Her mind would end up in the Vex net and when the Echo of Command landed on Nessus, she was one of the many who raced to it
She ended up being the o e to claim it
the o e
Yes
I'm on mobile you neophyte
And Earmis left the system to rebuild riis?
Yes
Or ti at least find a new place to rebuild Eliksni society
I hope she has to ask us for help
Bitch wanted nothing to do with us
I wonder when we’ll get the shadebinder content drop
Fair
But honestly, I feel like frontiers is going to focus moreso on new races and worlds than existing stuff
All the alien races destroyed by either the hive or Rhulk, maybe we find the ruins of the ahslid or something
Is there a lore reason to why the berserkers were in the pale heart?
Berserkers only appear in the Coop focus missions which I don't think are meant to be canon
if their existence in there is canon, then maybe we can just say they are remnants of the Kell's Scourge who joined House Salvation and remained with them
Do we have any lore pages (or anything, rather) as to what happened immediately after the Witness entered the Traveler?
not quite right after
but we do have some entries on what was going on before we pulled up
Tesselation lore tab is the earliest example
Damn
the lore tabs for the Sundered Doctrine armor gives us a lot
even for some earlier events
like when the Witness was starting out in the Pale Heart
it's mostly meant to depict the Witness creating Dread though
Mataiodoxia lore tab has some lore about what exactly it did inside the traveler.
TLDR the witness was torturing the traveler
so it focuses a lot on that
I rewatched the final cutscene of Lightfall and was wondering what it was like for it when it entered the Traveler and what state it was in before it had been tampered with
you know what, I think we do have something for that actually
Like what the Witness went through when entering the portal
Oh I know about that. Shit is brutal.
not exactly
I believe this is meant to be right when the Witness first lands in the Pale Heart
so we don't have the Witness going through the Threshold if that's what you were looking for
but this si probably the next best thing
the rest of the Sundered Doctrine armor lore should be good as well
the Chest piece is an interesting one
Is that the armor from the dungeon?
yes
Ah I was wondering why it was spoiler tagged
Where do each hive brood get their worms from since there does not seem to be any living hive gods close to the ones we are fighting
Considering we often find worms just sitting around when we walk through various hive environments they probably just breed them wherever basically
Breeding grounds. Like those big orange pouches you see everywhere when hive are present
Fair
@dim minnow is this the fatal error of the Witness? Them thinking the traveler wanted Worship?
one of them
there are a lot of errors in the Witness' judgement
Of course
Do we know if the the Traveler ever communicated with the precursors via dreams?
Or was it literally just sitting there in the ground and later sky
No clue. But as far as we know and according to the witness it didn't speak and that upset them
the Precursors claimed to never hear a word from it
so maybe they never had their own speakers
or maybe they never recognized its voice
They didn't like that it gave no meaning to its gifts and so decided they'd force it from the traveler
I do wonder where they got the idea from the Traveler wanted to be worshipped then
They stoopid ik
It's just nature.
Higher being of unknown origin blesses you with gifts and everything
Happens with basically every civilisation including our own
What gift did the traveler even have for the precursors?
Or was it the same passive effect it had on all others
Eliksni, Humanity etc
maybe it terraformed their world
according to the Eliksni, the Traveler did cause Ether to surge on Riis
It was halfway burried on their planet so maybe
Its paracausal abilities can achieve what would be impossible feats. Like the precursors home just from the origin cutscene looked like it was barren desert of some kind
No way of properly sustaining life and then the traveler must have done something to change that and allow them to grow and advance more
Maybe but also the precoursors must have gotten so far already somehow
They already seemed comparatively developed by the time they found the Traveler in the cutscene
Ai generated thumbnails
I aint clicking those
Also please keep this stuff to #🔔content-creators
why the toxicity bro? I am just trying to show what I do...
Thats fine, just keep it to the appropriate channels please
We dont allow self promotion outside of #🔔content-creators
You are free to post the links to your channel and such there
ok thanks
also thanks on the feedback regarding the background of my thumbnails, i will improve that
Its just my personal opinion but yeah
it matters to me, I am new to content creation, so I learn as i go 🙂
people in this server in general tend to not favor ai generated stuff
only the background of my thumbnail has anything to do with AI generation, but yeah, i got the meaning
we see trees appear in the desert so probably
When I thought about how Bungie missed an opportunity to expand on the nessian schism, I thought about that Overwatch cinematic about the origins of Bastion and thought they could do something like that with a goblin or minotaur or wyvern
Can I dm someone who knows Chinese? I'm trying to translate the Chinese version of the HOIL loretab back to English but I have the vocabulary of a Chinese second grader 
Is it just me or does Lezrel one of the nether bosses look like Nez?
wait a tormentor looks like the father tormentor??? 
I don't think it holy looks like him I mean just looked at the resemblance on the mask

Boss tormentors have more Nez resembling heads yes
Like the liminality boss
It’s their version of an “ultra” enemy like public event captains, except all tormentors are yellow bar anyway
It’s that and the fact that it’s implied through dialogue that the Tormentors were created through Nezarec’s material and Calus’ cloning technology
yee
just like how the subjicators were created in Rhulk's image but not outright cloned from him
Tormentors would be elite bodyguards if they just CLOSED THAT GODDAMN CRIT SPOT
Why did the guy leave right after
His life question was fulfilled
Imagine they had a phalanx shield
Most Tormentors are orange bar "Majors/Mini-bosses". Yellow is only found among the ones you mentioned, a defining characteristic they have—besides the appearance—is the inability to be affected by CC abilities like Freeze and Suspend, in the same ways they affect lower tiers of enemies.
major is still yellow, just a lesser one
orange bar is like the small swordbearers you find in altars of sorrow
and are also the revenants, the quantums, the honoreds, and the resilients.
Mmmm, helf bars
Legonary
How can vex become taken? I thought only living thing can be taken
they are living
biological creatures
radiolarian fluid is like their liquid brain
technically speaking, the robots are just like mech suits for them
The Vex are the smallest mechs in fiction
does anyone have a sickle in destiny or am I crazy
is there a difference between a sickle and a scythe?
I mean they're the same thing irl barring the handle
sickle with a short one and scythe with a long one
so Nezerec
yeah thats the main difference
im asking for sickles, i thought at least one existed but i might be wrong
apparently (according to the person who brought this up to me), savathun had a sickle at one point, but i genuinely dont remember that
Might have in concept art? I’ve never seen her with one
Oryx and xivu have blades though so idk
Lore-accurate
ah does she just wield one in lore? if so, which lore tab/ dialouge line if you remeber
I searched sickle into Ishtar collective and only 5 entries came up. None are about savathun using one
But then I did just remember. Stasis hunters wield sickles
Stasis hunters sound like really emo nerds
Like trying to look cool posing like reaper from overwatch with their two sickles going “I only trust two people… they’re named Silence and Squall…”
Like this lmao
Imagine if emotes like that weren’t the usual Light holograms and instead actually used Stasis models
Not legally sanctioned in the tower
What the fuck. It feels like reality just warped before my eyes lmao
I'll have to make sure I'm on the right timeline in a moment
got a question do you think that in lore guardians express their personalities through their preferred subclass or just class in general?
like how zavala is the leader and the protector of the city so he uses defender titan
or void titan
Why does the shield from Edge of Action look like this?
Instead of an actual bubble?
Jubble
Ward of Jello
So it's your fault
Indeed
Both are somewhat true, and has even led to some bleed over of class techniques/abilities in-lore.
Felwinter had something very close to a Titan’s shoulder charge, Ana is a Hunter but one of her Golden Gun shots left puddles of molten Solar akin to the Warlock grenade (before it became available across classes), and Shaw Han had an ult that was something like a Golden Gun that caused a Well of Radiance effect and was able to empower some Redjacks when he a Lord Saladin were fending off a bunch of House Dusk Fallen in the Cosmodrome
For the subclass part, it was a big aspect of each elemental class that they drew very specific personality types, which can still be seen today when you press the lore button in a subclass screen (I hope. Don’t remember if 3.0 maintained the subclass lore tab or just changed it from how it was before)
i think that answered my question
but are there other supers they is not shown in game or we dont know about? im talking about like like titans using maces as their supers or them using a minigun as their super
that kind of stuff
Nothing that transformative, no, greatest extent of this has been the aforementioned Golden Guns from Ana and Shaw Han getting traits that are usually associated with Solar Warlocks
arc blade technically
Dova, Waltz, or Mael should be able to elaborate if there is, I’ll admit it’s been a while since I did a lore dive but what I’ve shared is as much as I remember
well yeah but thats from d1
It’s still applicable
saladin had a unique tagteam thundercrash with efrideet
Oh yeah the fastball special
wherein she threw him off a cliff at a fallen walker down below and immensely boosted the power by sheer force
thats actually pretty cool ngl
minigun super for titans when
Not really a new super but there is this one lore entry where Osiris goes to the moon and kills Crotas grandchildren by chaining stormtrance, daybreak and nova bomb in quick succession.
Wait, what happened to Gestalt I know he's not new here
I got really mad at Tox and got banned, then I got my account compromised and lost the dms with the server bot and couldn’t find the appeal form
Those units usually died on serpinski due to a resonance virus?
Only recently I messaged Mael if he was able to share the bot’s username with me, and he was smarter than I to just link me the appeal form
Damn
Sorry lol, I don't remember that encounter but I'll take your word for it. We cool?
Yeah it’s been like a year, I don’t think either of us remember the beef
I have not played Signalis, yet lmao
Anyways
And gotta grind back to regular role
And not get a strike in the next 6 months
At least one person knew 
I wish to play the Lesbian Androids game, but alas. Colleg
Someday
what lore piece describes the vex converting a planet into a machine world in a matter of days
Probably something with Nessus
or mercury
Question from a lore stand point what are our chances that the power to take can be a sub class
Like I hear so many people taking about it and I was wondering if we could from a lore standpoint
The what
Signalis, has android sesbians and is reminiscent of older Resident Evil games gameplay-wise
I looked it up. Cute android girls.
What?
Mercury is like 90% vex world
Sort of
The enclave lookout has nothing but taken however
Nessus is more vex then mercury
That's not taken energy.
It's the time rifts
Oh ye i forgot they where
And yes Nessus is more vex than mercury but not by much considering mercury is the home of the infinite forest which is as described by Osiris "A planet sized prediction engine"
I also forgot what happened to savathuns ship
Yes that is true
Mercury and nessus could definitely be classified as vex worlds now. No saving or restoring then unfortunately since the vex on both planets have reached the cores and converted them to suit whatever the vex need
Places like venus save for the vault of glass, mars, Europa and io though could still be salvaged to some degree though
Still odd that Nessus turned out the way it did
What do you think other than enemy factions stops the vex from continuing to convert a planet?
perhaps a powerful Paracausal force?
but realistically, the only way to actually stop Vex from taking over is to actively try and stop them
Killing the Mind in charge.
I ask this because I know the Cabal overpowered and pushed back the Virgo Prohibition on Mars
so I wonder what defeated vex are doing
also is Mars back yet?
I haven't touched Destiny 2 in a while
Since Witch Queen a few years ago
is it somewhere you can land?
the issue was that the Virgo Prohibition just weren't properly equipped for their job
Not as a full destination, but the planet returned and you can head there on the first mission of the campaign, and in the Enclave. How long is a "while", exactly?
or that their methods were not right
as in no combat units?
a year ago
not exactly
then you should have already seen it
The Enclave and the opening mission are F2P
just that the way they were doing things wasn't working with their environment and what their obstacles were
yeah I remember that and Ikora's Hidden outpost, but I'm talking about what you could do during the Warmind expansion
I see
Then no. Though, there is a Battleground set there from Season of the Seraph.
I wonder if its ever going to become available again
the again, Bungie could use it as a way to have a setting for a new episode
obstacles being the cabal and us
yeah
and the taken
the Fallen too at some point, though I doubt they did much
it seems the vex arent great at fighting the cabal
Depends on the Collective.
the Vex can do a good job
it was really just the Virgo Prohibiiton
Ikora Rey has proposed that the Vex units can best be understood as algorithms - each a unique mapping of inputs to behavioral responses. Perhaps the Virgo Prohibition is simply the wrong algorithm for its environment, and its failure will drive the greater Vex network to adapt and improve.```
Just the wrong group of Vex basically
there was a case where the Cabal took a Vex position only to get stomped in retaliation by them
on Mars?
ok nvm, it was an instance where the Cabal on Mars tried to take a potentially valuable position only to lose by an unknown Vex defense force
I see
"There's no telling the scale of devastation hidden beneath these red sands."
ARENA DESIGNATION: Bastion
LOCATION: Meridian Bay, Mars
Thick, rugged terrain masks one of the largest Vex structures on Mars, leaving this imposing gate as the only conventional entrance. With the Cabal's interest in Vex activity, it was a matter of when, not if, they...
What I wouldn't give for things like Escalation Protocol to return, and the old destinations just to have them
seems like whatever the vex did, the cabal were terrified of
and still are
They should've gradually given us back the old destinations for seasonal content and let us keep them but it's just not in their interest and thus we only occasionally get missions set there and nothing more
geuinly cannot wait to leave the sol system
I know that most of if not all vex "weaponry" are tools in actuality, but what about the vex laser rifle?
Since the Golden Age. Like, pre Collapse.
Centuries at least.
Oh that's because the House of Dusk keep ripping live wiring out of her
interesting
i was very dissapointed in echoes when we didnt fully move her off nessus
or atleast an exo body
Possibly even longer/shorter cause Nesssus kinda dipped for a while
I admit, I was hoping for her to be permanently moved to the HELM
Well she is still on the HELM....

she left at the end of the season then seeing her still there in revenant cofnused the hell out of me
i know it is
Failsafe just never left the discord call
im more saying at the end she left as in we didnt need her
idk how to explain it
you would think the exo/vex crisis with an ai weve been allies with that cant move would get an exo body
In the seasonal story she did note that she hopes we don't leave her again
wouldve made echoes peak
Well, she is still cripplingly lonely and needs friends
Plus she has to take care of her darling pets now
Cuz technically we had her in vanilla and then we haven't seen her outside the yearly dawning events lol
Who thankfully survived the crash
revenant and echoes wouldve been better if they gave the older characters more of a focus
apart from that one time when we broke her heart and said cayde died
I am always using hazardous propulsion so she's with me every time regardless where I go
failsafe didn't make me a gift 
hazardous propulsion
last wish
unless we repair the HELM and bring that outside of Sol with Failsafe as a permanent ship AI
i would also find this acceptable
Gotta become a titan
these terms are acceptable
best i can do is punch hunter
I can see Bungie making her the new integrated AI in the HELM so we can leave Sol
I am hoping for this
it would be cool to have the helm as a home base with like mithrax and failsafe on it
we go looking for drifter in frontiers, or drifter finds some shit while fucking around which is what leads to frontiers
i genuinly hope we get too see riis eventually since eramis left and is supposably rebuilding it
Eramis is playing minecraft while we're fighting for our lives in the dreadnaught
imagine if we get a signal from a colony that actually escaped
Hmmm I don't see Drifter being involved with it tbh
At least not rn, maybe if Act 2 and 3 develop that further
To be fair he's the only one we know who's actually left the system and returned
why is this space in the map shakeing every now and then
started in Echoes
happens everywhere
if we leave sol i want everyone there
on Nessus that is
really?
yknow
that would make sense
i might just be actually dense
wonder what it is
well it happens to the entire destination
really?
Play Echoes story and it'll make sense
ive only had it here
yeppers
i did it was just so forgetful i dont remember
True
that season felt more like a chore then anything
I despise Deep but I still feel Revenant was a worse season/episode
Deep was awful
the environment change, fishing, and old weapons brought back for the first time i really liked
the story from was bad
but the rest was fun
Fishing was the only good thing and they dropped that shit so fast
i liked the weapon and armour alot
Fishing was weird and unnecessary. I loved it. Very cute.
They could've kept that going but they couldn't be bothered
i liked the small stuff like that
i remember i came back after like months and was absolutely bamboozled
The tonic system would've been perfect for the fishing system
Not make it so you can only get some of those materials through fishing, but make it so it's an alternate way to get some of them
im just excited
heresy has been good so far
the curio of the nine has gotten me very interested
and the amount of hinting towards leaving sol has convinced me we are definitly leaving
Nah the game doesn't work that way
if light reaches into other planes of existence i reckon we'll be right as rain with some simple distance
idk im hyped to leave sol
fair lmao
the amount of evidance i have autistically stacked towards leaving sol could kill a victorian child
But the choosing your route aspect and get upgrade a to unlock section b can either be done really well or really badly
i want a weapon system similar to d1 which is crazy i know
the old banshee system
get a weapon and upgrade it
similar to crafting
and enhancing
I don't see them changing the current weapon system just yet
well think about it
Cuz we're getting armor 3.0
you get a blue rarity omolon hand cannon for example, then you can upgrade it with kills to legendary, you get to pick the perks and it enhances normally
fair
pour stronger fluid in
sprite in the omolon handcannon
Like I said, that kind of system is too intricate to introduce on a whim so it won't be in Frontiers
my biggest asks are player housing, visible ship docking at lobbies, viewing damage and stats after you complete an encounter, bringing back or updating old dungeon weapons to be enhancable like prophecy, a heresy handcannon or another handcannon exotic, a proper firing range and the banshee weapon system
@trim grotto do we know if civilians of the last city are allowed to have guns
There was no reason to remove this
Civilians?
I'm... not actually sure. I only know of FOTC or other similar soldiers.
Mortals, but not working class citizens.
they do
Seeing that they're moving away from the HELM wings being the seasonal areas every time I want them to develop some QOL wings for us in there
Weapon crafting/testing in the HELM
if i recall the traveller gave blueprints to civilians
riiswalker was made by a civilian
New armor system station in another wing
Imma be real Tox this ain't exactly lore relevant
Riiswalker was made by an Eliksni
Hence the name
Also, one sec
still a civilian no?
We were discussing lore and it deviated to this. It's not unrelated either
So do me a favor and take that topic up to #✨destiny-discussion
Well, yes, but it was produced specifically for, and by request of, Lord Saladin.
Well it's about gameplay related things in future updates so yeah
Lore is just story, which is what we're discussing
well first he wanted to compete but couldnt and instead made it for guardians no?
this being he made a firearm for himself to compete
"No. I will not allow a Fallen to fight in the Banner, that right is reserved for Guardians alone. But if you insist, I may allow a Guardian to carry a Fallen-forged weapon into battle. You are a weaponsmith, are you not?" —Lord Saladin to an Unknown Eliksni
That being said, yes, there are references to civilians with weapons
It's insane just how much "Fallen" changed as a word eversince splicer dropped
It's not racist per say
But it's definitely not nice
Eliksni referred to each other as Fallen aswell
Riiswalker and Gridskipper both have references to civilians (and actual Last City citizens of the time, not the House of Light) holding weaponry
not to mention weve seen civilians use weapons or atleast have them
From what I recall calling it a racist term was exactly what they thought of it
Despite some of the Eliksni adopting the term
Amanda. True, but she worked for the Vanguard.
Still, yes.
i joined the season she died lol
One of the most unintentionally funny deaths in destiny history
Amanda Holliday. I'll miss her. At least Chappy got a good buff.
come to learn the small explosion that pushed her a little forward killed her
i was flabbergasted
They did build up to it in the mission tbf
she shoudlve gotten the halo reach death by like ramming her ship or smt to save civilians
Not many people were particularly ecstatic about how it was handled, but I always enjoyed Amanda. It's sad to know she's gone.
Amanda who was known to fly air support against none other than fortified cabal installations and never being even close to get shut down
She should have died in a crash many years ago but this is how she went out huh
watch there gonna kill off hawthorne next
I do have to question why they had Amanda doing groundwork instead of getting her back into the air and having Guardians or FoTC take her place. I mean, she's a pilot.
the vanguard sucks at management it seems
She probably went down there on her own let's not kid ourselves
Or heck yeah why not Hawthorne, she could have been there
She knows how to work outside the City as a fighter
Nah she's the clan lady which as we all know is the most intricate and sophisticated social system they have in the game
replace her with crow 
No
i hope not
He's wayyyy too busy
"Took out Ghaul, woke up the Traveler"

Red War lol
yup
God please for the love of the traveller update her dialogue
I beg
Euuughh... Red War? Apart from handing out quests with no dialogue.
Didn't they remove that one?
I think they did
they did actually remove those lines
theres a ghost scan near her that still has the audio from red war 
no new dialogue, but they removed that
oh yeah there's a bunch of scans around the Tower from the Red War
some don't play dialogue anymore
they removed alot of the dialog yeag
Yea was gonna say most of those don't do anything anymore
some they couldnt even find
They still have rhe one about Banshee in the spot where Xur now shows up
my favourite one is Ikora constantly blabbing about our "wavering loyalty to the Vanguard has not gone unnoticed" which has been going on since she was recast
clearly they just gave the VA the old Idles and they reintroduced them without checking the tags on whether we sided with Drifter back in Season of the Drifter
How did they convince Xur to set up shop in the tower rather than stand up in the tree or any of his other old locations
His will is not his own
is it bad i actually wanted xur to randomly appear in the traveller
On the topic of old voicelines
I recently got reminded of the legendary Taeko-3
You know the one
sQuAd Of NiNe
did you know she, of all people, was a Praxic?
Lmfao
whos taeko again?
oh yeah
Headed into the Archeology with a squad of 9
They all got picked off one by one
She watched a wizard rip the light out of her best friend

Typical Warlock moment
Reading books all day but when it comes to actually doing stuff?
to be fair at least she figured out a way to fight back
what did the other 8 do
Turn into crystals
Orb
Fuck this
Become orb
have we ever been able to see where the morning star crashed outside of the raid?
Just the debris falling from the sky in the Stasis empowered zone of the week
I think most of it crashed right into the crypt
oh and did morning star hit the vesper station?
ye
really we dont have any evidance of it?
no we do
Nvm then
Vesper Central: Exterior scans rebooting… Is that a chunk of the Morning Star in my station’s hull? With luck you were on board at the time, Dr Bray. ```
I love how much of a hater Astraea is
One of the biggest
how did we learn that the vespers ai was named astraea
https://youtu.be/PIx_jBkXs_I?si=8-4EkgO0Olb0Xou0
Subtitle changes
I don't think her name was ever specifically stated but after her mind is fully unlocked, she becomes "whole" as Astraea
Pick Dr. Bray's final lock and gain full access to the second-level BrayTech storage module.
**
Vesper Central: The station root access codes are in here. Somewhere. I can't see them. He didn't let me into my own mind. He didn't care about the lives I could have saved!
//The Guardian inputs the root access codes.
Astraea: That's it. Locks c...
I AM I AM ALL OF ME
female version of AM
god i hope someone gets what im referencing
HERE WE GO BUDDY HERE WE GO BUDDY HERE WE GO 🗣️ 🗣️ 🗣️
While I get the reference it's not a remotely close comparison
i mean
they both hate there creatores
made for a purpose they both hate
and both are very murderous
I don't think she killed anyone
she made a "fuck off leave me alone" threat
And Clovis didn't create her I think
not a "i am going to upend your entire world to maximise your suffering as much as humanly possible"
open all the airlocks while the fallen are in the station
thats very different than what AM did and what AM thinks like
idk i find them comparable
am is much worse but ye
knowing bungie we will never hear from the vesper station again though
unless failsafe gets light again and we need help from astraea
I wouldn't be so certain about that
ehh
devrim, hawthorne, sloane sorta
i wouldnt be that shocked
but it would be cool
Devrim was in season of defiance. Yes the season before sloane came back into the picture.
Hawthorne though I get, i think she should have been in defiance as well
sloane is literally in this episode
Last appearance was in the final shape finale cutscene chatting with civilians when we walked in
devrim existed in defiance yeah
im talking about focus however
she might reappear but any focus i dont think will happen
we havent had devrim even move from the edz since redwar
let alone do much then speak on radio
they already hinted at the return of the vesper station at, well, the end of the storyline of vesper station
i never finished the end of vespers
devrim doesnt really have a whole lot to add to the story
same with hawthorne
sloane actually has something though, so she might be included more
the only character i dont want is nimbus
but do inform me what does it hint too at the end of vespers?
i dont have ib and havent finished the story too it so i dunno
she's fully restored, wants a bit of alone time, and has a lot of data to run through
she's the second golden age AI like this we've ever had, shes recently been fully woken up
the stuff shes sorting through is unresolved mysteries surrounding the vespers host
a portal, or communication device, or both, we're unsure.
again seeing as i lost my fireteam i havent ran it for all the lore
thats going into my leaving sol notes
massive portal?
few do the entire lore thing with a dedicated fireteam
few do anything with a dedicated fireteam
id love too tbh
i wanna find a good fireteam
lfg is painful and i want to spend the time for the lore
most just do a traditional one-time fireteam
i want a fireteam for raiding and dungeons or just general play
clans
lfg is fine but im here for the long run
It's the equivalent of a phone or array.
It's for sending and receiving messages which did happen. "Hello world" was the message sent and then we got back "Lodi transmitting, status adrift, moonsick, odysseus protocol active"
That's what we got back?
Yes.
If you want to hear it when you complete the first encounter there's a datapad on the left that says this.
Ah neat
The Ghost. How they get the name is unknown like glint was called pulled pork by other guardians
Depends
Some Ghosts want their Guardians to name them. Some take or get given names over the years
Like Glint was called Pulled Pork by others but properly named Glint by Crow
Tyra Karn’s Ghost is unnamed and wants Tyra to name it, and Tyra’s always like “if you want a name, pick one”
iirc It's mostly tradition that a ghost names their guardian and vice versa

even
