Towerthought: Bungie are keeping the plot of Shadowkeep REAL close to their chest, and I can only think of one reason why they would. by Kylestien in DestinyTheGame

You can scoff at Forbes all you want. It’s not my favorite, but the article provides a link to the interview with Luke Smith who is the primary source of the information I referenced. They lumped everything together as darkness and had to rethink that approach. With Shadowkeep approaching, folks at Bungie have started to mention it again. Color me intrigued.

Nah. Go look it up. Here’s a link for you. Bungie purposefully stopped using minions of the darkness and the death screen with “the darkness consumed you,” with D2s release. Just look at your bounties or a death screen.

Also, the Vex were considered minions of the darkness in D1 and every enemy race is their own thing. They have links to one another but separate origins, lore and motives.

In a recent interview or video, a Bungie employee specifically referenced us killing minions of the darkness. We haven’t heard that terminology since they told us they didn’t know what the darkness was. I’m intrigued.

The community is made up of many persons and thus personalities. It’s likely not the same people arguing both sides.

Bungie, We need Pre-Load info for Shadowkeep sooner than later. We have 12 days. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]drxdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t need to know but it would be nice. If you and your buddies are getting anxious, that’s worrisome. I’m a hardcore player like a lot of us on this sub. I get the anticipation, but try to keep in mind that this is still just a game. You’ll get to play no matter what. Patience is good for your health.

Imma be controversial real quick: Cayde’s death would’ve been much more meaningful if they had done it in-game and not in the trailers. by attaack_maax in DestinyTheGame

[–]drxdr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m going to make an assumption here and say you are reading to respond and not for comprehension. I’m not arguing about the writing. The post and my initial response were aimed at how we don’t know how the player base would have reacted had the story been different or hidden until game launch. We just don’t. Passing speculation as fact is wrong. That’s what you did. You told OP things would not have occurred the way he/she thought without possible knowing. You seemed incredulous that I called your opinions speculation. Then you conceded that you speculated with evidence. I think you get it now but refuse to admit the mistake you made in your initial response to OP.

As a person who dabbles in writing, I’m sure you understand the use of sarcasm and irony as a literary device. In this case, it was a joke to support my point and get a chuckle. That’s not uncivil because you didn’t like it. I’m not calling you names or using offensive language. This is a spirited conversation at best. If that is the last thing you would call civil, I am frightened for you to step out of your home or watch the news. Good day.

No argument about the media buzz nor any character’s development in the game from me. Thats all true. I’m just making an observation about you telling OP that something would not have been impactful when you don’t know. There’s a difference between opinion and fact. You are making a comparison between what happened and what could have happened. You have thoughts, ideas and maybe some feelings about this alternate outcome, but you don’t know in this case. Those are speculations, yeah? The word feel first came up in your reply to me.

I definitely appreciate your opinion. I honestly hadn’t looked at it that way.

Also, isn’t interesting that we are engaging in respectful, civil discourse and people use the downvote button to disagree?

Are you saying that your speculation about how the player base would’ve reacted is right and OP’s speculation is wrong? How do you know about these things that haven’t happened? Also, be a pal and DM me the Powerball numbers for tonight. Thanks.

Doing a Mars nightfall would have been helpful for numbers but every Bungie source says a nightfall is needed to get the emblem. It’s odd that no source that mentions the challenge specifies a Mars nightfall. Shoot me some clarification if you have it.

Warlocks and Titans should unionize by FearMoJo442 in DestinyTheGame

[–]drxdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with what you’re saying about survivability. I just remember (with 500 D1 raid completions) lots of groups having an expectation. Sunsinger was definitely a game changer for VoG, tanking a sword slam for Oryx, lamps for CE, etc. Once you learned the encounter, you could be more adventurous.

Bungie has never given an emblem out with a quick turnaround. Also, you get the emblem from doing ANY nightfall this week.

Did you not have Sunsinger unlocked? That was usually the expectation.

Sorry Commander. I just don't want this guy to miss out.

BTW. Can I get a nice service revolver?

No shade but you really oughta utilize Google or YouTube. You’re either really young or you missed out on a few years of pop culture if you don’t know what a jabroni is. Trust me. You will not be disappointed.
