dim minnow
#

reasonable to assume Reefborn

rapid girder
#

didn’t even know there were types

dim minnow
#

Earthborn aren't attuned to Mara and the Reef the way Reefborn are

rapid girder
#

do you think the aphelions will slime us if we tried to approach them

rapid girder
#

i’m a filthy tiktokian 😔

dim minnow
#

maybe

#

one of the Techeuns warns us that we will not stand a chance against one

eager trout
#

I had a question

#

But I forgot

rapid girder
ember storm
rapid girder
#

they’re unstoppable

eager trout
#

How come we've never seen one?

dim minnow
#

they mainly stay in the reef

#

and hunt Awoken

slim elk
eager trout
#

Mara can't do anything without causing a century-long grudge

rapid girder
#

right

#

which is a problem for the rest of the awoken

dim minnow
#

they haven't gone after her thus far

rapid girder
#

which is a problem for the guardians

slim elk
#

Guardians grabbing popcorn and cheering

Hey, if we get Mara to give up Oryxs power, makes some interest with whats going down in Heresy

dim minnow
rapid girder
#

so that means we’re going to have to fight them

#

if not in d2 then d3

slim elk
ember storm
#

it's not like she currently holds the power of oryx iirc

dim minnow
#

Mara claimed part of Oryx's power after we killed him

rapid girder
#

i can’t wait to turn an aphelion into a gun kek

ember storm
#

she can't do what he did

ember storm
#

she just added it to boost her own stuff

#

also dont really think she could do a transfer

rapid girder
#

would you guys use an aphelion gun

slim elk
#

Remember the crowd you are speaking to

ember storm
#

false

#

he is the ammunition

eager trout
#

Wait

rapid girder
#

if we could kill the witness but we stand no chance against the aphelions

eager trout
#

That was one of my questions

rapid girder
#

then does that mean the aphelions are stronger than the witness

eager trout
#

How is it possible to have more than one ammo for the worm grenade launcher at all?

ember storm
#

and even then

slim elk
ember storm
#

it was 12 guardians siphoning the traveler's power directly from the source

eager trout
ember storm
#

it's not like we just shot it a bunch

rapid girder
#

joy

eager trout
#

No

slim elk
eager trout
#

We'd need help

rapid girder
#

so that we can kill aphelions

ember storm
#

what if we simply said "aphelion no swiping" and then they leave

eager trout
rapid girder
eager trout
#

Doesn't count

ember storm
rapid girder
slim elk
rapid girder
#

which, mind you, is the canon end to the witness

eager trout
ember storm
#

i feel genuinely zero respect for eso because of his life choices quite literally being putting a hobby before his personal relations

eager trout
#

Oh! I just remembered the question

#

Is the heresy in Heresy on the part of the followers of Sword Logic or on our part?

ember storm
#

both essentially

trim grotto
#

True, but the Techeuns aren't soldiers. They're seers, healers, and the like.

rapid girder
#

the way guardians kill big targets is by weakening them first

ember storm
#

we're momentarily playing along with the echo because we have its attention but we're not going to claim it

trim grotto
#

It's why Petra dropped out. She didn't have the... Temperament.

ember storm
#

xivu is heretical in her perception of sword logic

#

savathun is savathun

rapid girder
#

name one major raid boss we killed without weakening

eager trout
ember storm
#

we just shot at him

rapid girder
#

no major bosses like oryx

dim minnow
ember storm
#

he is a major boss

eager trout
#

Petra the type to get the most kills as a support

ember storm
#

he's the final boss

rapid girder
#

is he paracasual

ember storm
#

is atheon?

#

or taniks

rapid girder
ember storm
#

or aksis

eager trout
#

Taniks is unkillable

dim minnow
#

Atheon is Vex so probably not paracausal

dim minnow
ember storm
#

or insurrection prime

trim grotto
ember storm
#

or val ca'uor

#

plenty of guys we just ended up shooting pretty hard

rapid girder
trim grotto
#

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

rapid girder
#

so that says a lot about him

ember storm
#

it wasn't even his power

#

it's the oracles

rapid girder
#

the oracles are entities arent they?

dim minnow
#

the Oracles ony search the timestream and mark things to be negated

#

the negating itself is done by Atheon and Templar

ember storm
#

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

dim minnow
#

the Gorgons can just erase you by seeing you

trim grotto
#

I don't have time to explain Paul_Why

#

Ping me in two hours and I can share my two pence

rapid girder
ember storm
#

ping me in 9 hours

rapid girder
#

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

ember storm
#

i don't have to imagine it i did it when i was 11

#

very scary

rapid girder
#

it’s terrifying

ember storm
#

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

rapid girder
#

you’re GOING to die

trim grotto
rapid girder
#

destiny has some scary corners of lore

eager trout
ember storm
#

why is it that some taken turn red for some reason

#

like quria

chrome fog
#

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

dim minnow
# ember storm

you know, they never really went into why some Taken have red coloratipn

chrome fog
#

Very, very op ability by the Vex… if they weren’t so limited in its application

trim grotto
# ember storm

No given reason but some assume it's age and/or strength

eager trout
ember storm
#

it's coded as a minor enemy Zav

trim grotto
chrome fog
#

It grampy

ember storm
#

oh no

eager trout
#

So you're saying it's always the Hydras?

ember storm
#

i have never considered the possibility that people here know what deltarune is

#

this is freaky

ember storm
eager trout
#

Yeah, but it's only Hydras that have been seen getting red

ember storm
#

a few ogres and the colossus in D1 were red

#

also grask

eager trout
#

Oh

#

What's the Colossus?

chrome fog
#

Cabal mini gun guy with blinding rockets

eager trout
#

shrug

ember storm
#

and our lad kelgorath prior to his demotion

eager trout
#

I remember the blinding rockets from somewhere

ember storm
#

only one in the franchise

eager trout
#

But minigun could be any of them

eager trout
#

But why does that weapon look like Pyramid tech?

ember storm
#

that's just dreadnaught tech

#

have you seen the shrine of oryx

eager trout
#

No

dim minnow
rapid girder
#

what is the voice in vesper’s host talking about

empty fern
#

I see chance I’ll take it

empty fern
#

Normal heir apparent

chrome fog
#

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

eager trout
# ember storm

If if the gun is normal sized, and the minigun is that big, the microgun should be the size of Calus

chrome fog
#

Also the super spike pauldrons

dim minnow
#

Cabal and Vex have yet to get a subfaction in D2 with D1 designs

ember storm
eager trout
#

I don't care what anyone says, Calus was truly the biggest emperor of all

ember storm
#

i do appreciate also that all the dire enemies are D2 models

#

really sells the "shit is getting fucked now" idea

dim minnow
#

Hive got the Hidden Swarm reprisal while Fallen got House Salvation

#

I wonder if Dire Taken will properly replace the Taken we had prior

eager trout
#

What are Dire Taken?

ember storm
#

doubt it

ember storm
dim minnow
eager trout
#

Ah

ember storm
#

they have switched up abilities

dim minnow
#

they're Taken with tentacle growths on them

ember storm
#

like dire psions shoot out axion bolts that taken hobogoblins usually do

dim minnow
#

some have abilities from different Taken

ember storm
#

dire vandals are cloaked like taken minotaurs

eager trout
#

In Spanish they're called Fatal Taken

dim minnow
#

some have abilities from other enemies

ember storm
#

i don't know what dire goblins do

#

they just like

eager trout
#

(Funesto)

dim minnow
#

like Dire Taken Knights have the Weaver Strand ability

ember storm
#

tickle you with a strand beam

#

i don't know what it does

eager trout
#

Strand beam

chrome fog
#

One of the new Taken Vex sorta tethers you to them

dim minnow
chrome fog
#

Or it could just be a weird thing that isn’t a tether

chrome fog
dim minnow
#

some dire Taken have new abilities

#

like the Dire Goblins just mentioned

ember storm
#

dire thrall spawn the mines that were previously just static elements

dim minnow
#

Dire Vandals are invisible

#

Dire captains deploy the Ward of Blight

#

Dire Centurions shoot blinding darkness blasts

eager trout
#

Dire Minotaurs have a Duskfield grenade around them

dim minnow
#

Dire acolytes spawn a shadow war beast when they die

dim minnow
#

or that one bane

ember storm
#

are there any dire ogres

#

i dont remember seeing any

eager trout
#

They push you

eager trout
#

In the EDZ?

ember storm
#

that's a normal taken ogre

#

their blasts already push you

eager trout
#

Oh

dim minnow
#

Dire Ogres shoot fire at you

#

like regular Taken Knights

eager trout
#

All cool until a Dire Wyvern shows up

dim minnow
#

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?

fresh zephyr
dim minnow
#

like the Lake of Shadows boss, or the Taken Colossus and Ogre we fought in Taken King

fresh zephyr
#

perhaps its to reflect the hidden swarm

#

Oryx's brood

#

they have red armor

#

oryx took all of them

#

wait nevermind

merry olive
#

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

dim minnow
#

Hidden Swarm were originally Crota's

#

then Oryx likely took over when he arrived

merry olive
#

ah right

dim minnow
#

then Savathun goaded them into starting the events of Shadowkeep

#

then they became Xivu's proxy

merry olive
#

lmao so every hive god has had their hands on them

fresh zephyr
#

still I think the red armor of the hidden swarm could be something

merry olive
#

i think that's just how their chitin naturally looks

dim minnow
#

you can see that it resembles the Scarlet Keep

chrome fog
#

It can also just be to better associate them with the nightmares which they caused to manifest from the Luna Pyramid

dim minnow
#

and parts of Crota's Temple/Hellmouth were transforming

merry olive
#

oh yeah true

#

maybe it just has to do with them worshipping the keep and just
styling themselves after it and spreading it?

fresh zephyr
#

So Oryx confirmed the Winnower

trim grotto
fresh zephyr
#

You call us Winnower, we are not.

We are but the FIRST KNIFE, clutched in its hands😤

next bobcat
#

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?

trim grotto
#

The short answer is that they were plugged into the sun

#

And then Rhulk reversed the polarity because he's an angry gamer man

next bobcat
#

So

#

Uh

#

Which sun?

blazing wasp
#

Damn rhulk really icarus'd his species

next bobcat
#

I read the lore book but I didn’t catch that

trim grotto
#

(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.)

next bobcat
#

Ok so instead of the sun going to lubrae, lubrae went to the sun

trim grotto
#

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

next bobcat
#

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

trim grotto
trim grotto
#

Not whole, anyway

rose marsh
#

Oryx has a ghost?

trim grotto
blazing wasp
#

oh right you also asked here

trim grotto
#

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.

rose marsh
blazing wasp
rose marsh
#

Why couldn’t we hear xivu’s voice

trim grotto
#

Voice actor strikes.

blazing wasp
#

voice actor strike

rose marsh
#

In the cutscenes this episode

#

What does that mean

blazing wasp
#

voice actors, they are on a strike

rose marsh
#

Why

trim grotto
#

It means the voice actors as an industry are going on strike over AI

rose marsh
#

Oh snap

#

That sucks

#

Hope that gets resolved soon

#

Thanks for clearing that up for me

hot cypress
#

weird question but how come oryx have kids? i thought the hive reproduce asexually

eager trout
#

Asexual reproduction is still reproduction

lofty badge
#

also the fact Oryx was born a girl

#

but then chose the king Morph and became male

hot cypress
ember storm
#

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

hot cypress
#

i think im missing some context here

#

whats a standard infantry and the osmium court

ember storm
#

Osmium court is the main three hive god siblings because their father was the osmium king

hot cypress
#

mhm

ember storm
#

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

hot cypress
#

and the osmium court reproduction is the same as the standard infantry

#

right?

ember storm
#

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

hot cypress
#

so they are the same is what you are telling or at least mostly

#

right?

ember storm
#

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

strong tendon
ember storm
#

iirc Savathun only had two and then all of Xivu’s kids are minibosses in the DC

strong tendon
#

Dul incaru, malok and balwur no?

ember storm
#

I don’t know the third one who is that

strong tendon
#

It was a court of oryx boss

#

Hive wizard

ember storm
#

Oh right

#

Yeah we don’t know anything about her

strong tendon
#

We barely know anything about dul incaru tbf

ember storm
#

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

strong tendon
#

Yeah it’s weird that oryx is the only one that like. Truly cared for his children

ember storm
#

She literally just had Malok to get him to steal from oryx

#

Oryx is just based giving his new nephew a good job

strong tendon
#

Xivus children just get shit on when they show up

ember storm
strong tendon
#

I think three were taken and one got killed in shattered realm.

fresh zephyr
#

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?

frigid sparrow
#

There's nothing about them that works different from other vex besides the wyverns being more aggro

strong tendon
#

Vex don’t really change much because they see themself as perfection

fresh zephyr
#

I see

fresh zephyr
#

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?

trim grotto
#

I would assume so. This is something you'd have to research for yourself, in game or through audio files.

fresh zephyr
#

Wait, Rhulk went into Oryx’s Throne World?

dim minnow
#

we know for a fact he spent a lot of time with Savathun

#

it's hard to say exactly when Rhulk obtained the chisel

eager trout
#

Is Devrim Kay a Guardian or just a random guy who is for some reason allowed to stay alone on the EDZ?

dim minnow
#

Like his daughter, Hawthorne

#

However, Hawthorne was given the title of honorary Guardian despite not ever being a Lightbearer herself

dull raft
#

she could learn how to use Darkness though.

dim minnow
#

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

eager trout
#

Who's Hideo?

dim minnow
#

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

trim grotto
dim minnow
#

After the speaker died, the Consensus continued to go without him

#

Then Cayde died and the Gunter Vanguard spot was left vacant for years

trim grotto
#

The what

dim minnow
#

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

trim grotto
#

(Savvy Thoon was involved here, naturally)

dim minnow
#

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

next bobcat
#

Wasn’t lakshmi maya sundaresh?

#

Did the echo bring her back?

dim minnow
next bobcat
#

Why?

#

Why’d it do that?

dim minnow
#

Because she was bored

next bobcat
#

So she duplicated herself

dim minnow
#

Jokes aside, Maya was in huge fuck around territory with the Veil

ember storm
#

maya decided to use it as a research opportunity

dim minnow
#

Lakshmi was left brain dead by the Veil's radiation

next bobcat
#

So basically weird shit happened

dim minnow
#

So Maya used Lakshmi to house the copy of her mind made by the Veil

#

Then Maya would "die" when communing with the Veil

next bobcat
#

Was lakshmi an existing exo frame?

ember storm
#

yes

next bobcat
#

Ah makes sense

dim minnow
#

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

next bobcat
#

Oh ok

#

So she’s somewhere in the vex net now with the echo?

ember storm
dim minnow
#

Yes

dim minnow
next bobcat
#

And Earmis left the system to rebuild riis?

next bobcat
#

Epic

#

Surely we meet her in frontiers

dim minnow
#

Or ti at least find a new place to rebuild Eliksni society

dim minnow
#

Bitch wanted nothing to do with us

next bobcat
#

I wonder when we’ll get the shadebinder content drop

next bobcat
#

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

split aurora
#

Is there a lore reason to why the berserkers were in the pale heart?

dim minnow
#

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

oblique gale
#

Do we have any lore pages (or anything, rather) as to what happened immediately after the Witness entered the Traveler?

dim minnow
#

but we do have some entries on what was going on before we pulled up

#

Tesselation lore tab is the earliest example

oblique gale
dim minnow
#

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

slim girder
#

Mataiodoxia lore tab has some lore about what exactly it did inside the traveler.
TLDR the witness was torturing the traveler

dim minnow
#

so it focuses a lot on that

oblique gale
#

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

dim minnow
oblique gale
#

Like what the Witness went through when entering the portal

oblique gale
dim minnow
#

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

oblique gale
#

Yeah no this is good

#

this is more what I was looking for actually

dim minnow
#

the rest of the Sundered Doctrine armor lore should be good as well

#

the Chest piece is an interesting one

oblique gale
#

yeah I need to look into it more

#

appreciate it

sick yew

sick yew
#

Ah I was wondering why it was spoiler tagged

lofty badge
#

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

sick yew
#

Considering we often find worms just sitting around when we walk through various hive environments they probably just breed them wherever basically

slim girder
lofty badge
#

Fair

sick yew
#

@dim minnow is this the fatal error of the Witness? Them thinking the traveler wanted Worship?

dim minnow
#

there are a lot of errors in the Witness' judgement

sick yew
#

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

slim girder
dim minnow
#

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

slim girder
#

They didn't like that it gave no meaning to its gifts and so decided they'd force it from the traveler

sick yew
#

They stoopid ik

slim girder
#

It's just nature.
Higher being of unknown origin blesses you with gifts and everything

#

Happens with basically every civilisation including our own

sick yew
#

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

dim minnow
slim girder
#

Same as us like advancement in growing..

#

Terraforming

dim minnow
#

according to the Eliksni, the Traveler did cause Ether to surge on Riis

sick yew
slim girder
#

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

sick yew
#

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

I aint clicking those

why the toxicity bro? I am just trying to show what I do...

Thats fine, just keep it to the appropriate channels please

You are free to post the links to your channel and such there

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 🙂

dim minnow
#

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

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

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

strong tendon
#

There’s a weapon called dragon cults sickle

#

But that’s a sword

serene swift
#

apparently (according to the person who brought this up to me), savathun had a sickle at one point, but i genuinely dont remember that

strong tendon
#

Might have in concept art? I’ve never seen her with one

#

Oryx and xivu have blades though so idk

serene swift
#

ah does she just wield one in lore? if so, which lore tab/ dialouge line if you remeber

strong tendon
#

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…”

# hot cypress got a question do you think that in lore guardians express their personalities t...

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)

hot cypress
#

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

chrome fog
#

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

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

Mercury being double teamed by the taken and vex

Mercury is like 90% vex world

Sort of

#

The enclave lookout has nothing but taken however

#

Nessus is more vex then mercury

slim girder
plain sequoia
#

Oh ye i forgot they where

slim girder
#

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"

plain sequoia
#

I also forgot what happened to savathuns ship

slim girder
#

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

sick yew
#

Still odd that Nessus turned out the way it did

trim grotto
#

Not Mercury

fresh zephyr
#

What do you think other than enemy factions stops the vex from continuing to convert a planet?

dim minnow
#

but realistically, the only way to actually stop Vex from taking over is to actively try and stop them

fresh zephyr
#

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?

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?

it seems the vex arent great at fighting the cabal

Depends on the Collective.

dim minnow
#

it was really just the Virgo Prohibiiton

fresh zephyr
#

I see

#

it matters about the mind leading them

trim grotto
# fresh zephyr it matters about the mind leading them

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

fresh zephyr
#

ok

#

I see now

dim minnow
#

there was a case where the Cabal took a Vex position only to get stomped in retaliation by them

fresh zephyr
#

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

She's connecting to the HELM

it's a remote connection

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

hollow hinge
#

In the seasonal story she did note that she hopes we don't leave her again

plain sequoia
#

wouldve made echoes peak

trim grotto

Well, she is still cripplingly lonely and needs friends
Plus she has to take care of her darling pets now

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

plain sequoia

catch fish eat fish get benefit

#

or get fish then cook it for selectable benefits

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

maybe since we are very far from traveller

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

Some Ghosts want their Guardians to name them. Some take or get given names over the years

iirc It's mostly tradition that a ghost names their guardian and vice versa
