What emblem was Megs using during this?
Bye, your biggest unanswered question is “Where did The Witness go?” I would argue, “Where does The Witness come from?” Is a greater mystery.
Byf is the destiny professor and listening to him speak it’s awesome
Alright, so when you're asking, if we are the bad guys, I think it's a case of "The road to he'll is paved with good intentions"
A point Byf makes that I love is what he says about a post-witness universe. If we really do defeat them who's to not say the remaining Disciples become even more dangerous because there is no longer someone to reign them in anymore? Especially if the Witness has lied to their own followers about their end goal. That would totally change everything.
I believe if given enough thought and dedication a post-light and dark saga universe could open up narratives that would not be possible before. Maybe even creating stories that could grow to be even more memorable to what we know now.
It is an ecosystem like Byf said and I hope it stays true to that logic as it carries on.
I'm still trying to figure out if we'll ever get the 15th wish
Petition for Byf to do this with every raid
Patrick star in your raid group
What ship did Byf have and the ship above him?
1:52:01 I've said it before, I'll say it again: the one thing – the one thing – I would love to see after the Light and Darkness Saga concludes is for us to leave the playpen. Reconquering Torobatl. Reseeding Riis. Finding the ruins of the Gift-Mast or the Sindu or the athenaeum worlds.
The more and more Nezarec is talked about the more i wonder just how truly powerful the Witness is if Nez can do what he does while dead, is considered a god, and yet is a disciple of the Witness.
I wonder if there is a link between the line Savathun's worm said about lying to send the Witness away, and Nezarec being labelled a traitor. I wonder if she convinced the Witness that Nezarec would betray them (being a god of pain and all), allowing her to kill him and take the veil without becoming enemy number one of the Witness.
The Final Shape in my opinion will be the Tricorn that we all know and love as the very symbol of Destiny. It is truly the perfect combo of both shapes of Light and Dark
i think they traveler is the gardener it is monolithic and silent like a deity. There are people like the speaker that try to interpret what it wants but not even its ghosts who are basically like it's prophets know what it's true intentions are. However the witness is just an alien being who wields the darkness. Probably extremely ancient but at the most basic level similar to rulk. So the question remains what physical form does the winnower take is it the anthesis of the traveler, a sphere of darkness, perhaps made of dark matter which could mean there is a connection between the winnower and the nine which would be insane.
On other note the whole idea that the veil could be part of a mycelial network is a trip. If it is then bungie were really channeling ST discovery when they thought of it. I know it is an actually scientific theory, but it is one made popular by ST discovery's use of it in their show. Everything is pointing to the idea that the next chapter in destiny will take place outside the confines of the Sol system. However in the world of destiny there is no FTL travel technology. For a while i was thinking that because the neomunians are so much more advanced than us maybe they have the tech and will give it to us. But what if we learn how to use the veil to allow us to travel between the stars through a mycelial network. Honestly when i think about the veil it seems like a cross between star trek and the matrix with the cloud arc's virtual environment.
The massive key is pointing at the Travelussy. "Penetrate me Witness-senpai."
i know its a little late but i wish Byf do the other raids aside from this one, the last wish and the garden of salvation
I love that the jump pads are tied to your frame rate. Just ti guarantee the jump each time I have to turn down from 165fps to 55fps just to not get killed while jumping
26:35 nobody got the taylor swift quote smh
petition to rename this series to "Lore tour". please sign below if you agree .
Season of the deep makes me think we’re going back to titan next season, specifically for the text that comes up at the end of the winter it’s quest talking about a danger to the witness on titan
Really enjoying your long-form content. Making better guardians every time you release a video. Great work to everyone
omg mom get the camera
so the last of us could have ended with a nuke. are you saying had he not blown up his sparrow it could be destiny 2 last of us. We could become Guardians of the Galaxy!
didnt we had a peak in the traveler when Red War, it cracked pieces out and can be seen from tower.
Looked more like a machine / building structure, maybe its a inward built colony city but everyone died.
Now only left the machine functioning on auto that was originally designed to go and terraform planets where the citizens inside can come out and live.
Probably won't see this but, maybe the Witness has segments of a worm god because he is trying to study his 'enemy'?
29:40 why exactly are all Warlock Mains using Burst Glide? Strafe Glide feels way more safe and consistent.
Yes you are a little slower but hey, it's waaay easier.
if the pyramid on luna is nezerac’s then is the k1 artifact related to him as well?
So ghosts may have resed "the wrong person" i.e. warlords. As well ghosts canonically have cast supers of their own.
42:58 This point is terrible, seeing as the patrol is five levels under compared to no cap on the raid.
47:42 aren't trees of silver wings a thing of both light and dark?
WTF, is Byf a controller player?
Regarding the comment that we're the only ones who wield both, are you counting Mara Sov in that "we" because of our human origins? Clearly she isn't a guardian but doesn't she use both?
It's obvious to me that they intended strand to come out with Witch Queen. The spell on the traveler is obviously strand in nature. Apparently they just needed more time to work on it before release. Then they changed the story to accommodate it. It would have made much more sense if we learn strand from our encounter with savathun instead of finding it randomly and then Osiris learning it with us.
Night Terror: Heavy Glaive, ranged attack: similar to dark drinker but applys volatility
Melee attack: uses heavy ammo for a AOE slam, a direct hit will deal high burst damage.
Ammo: 27 max, 18 base
6 ammo for range 3 for melee
Ron is my dad's name and Robert is my uncles name…. so ok destiny
Also btw, on the topic of the connections between the guardians their ghosts and the traveler, and how the light and its powers "flow", there is actually a sort of confirmation that the ghosts are a sort of conduit, because if you go through the hydroponics lost sector on neomuna, sometimes you get some dialogues at the end, at one, ghost says something along the lines of how they feel strained using the light, like they try to draw water from a well, and not from a tap, and they also asks that it is because what happened to the traveler, or are they just still sad about her.
Making a prediction here: Amanda is rezzed as a Guardian. Uldren is devastated that she has no memory. Savathun finally gets rezzed and he learns from her how she was able to give Uldren his memories back, as well as how to regain her own, to give Amanda her memories back. This act brings Savathun into the fold as an ally
DId Byf actually do Day 1
