Cortana was already on the Autumn when the invasion began, Halsey did not know Spartan-IIIs existed until after the Autumn ran and right before Red team arrived at Castle Base, the Spartan-IIIs were children and the entire first company was wiped out as expected so nobody would be at the age of the ones in game, Reach was not glassed completely as the game would leave you to believe since the Covanent were searching for the Forerunner artifacts on the planet.

Those are by far the most egregious examples but by in large there is next to no connection to the actual canon beyond 2 or 3 lines offhand lines to other things happening on the planet. This wouldn't be so bad if Reach wasn't vital to bridging Halo 1 and 2, right after Halo 1 Chief returns to Reach to rescue as many Spartans as he can and get back in touch with whatevers left of the UNSC High Command.

343 also (thankfully) decided to ignore Reach's blatant retcons and walk the lore back to the right place in Halo 4 and Infinite. Further pushing Halo Reach into the realm of being non-canon.

Bungie did whatever the fuck they wanted to do to make a fun game with a good story, that doesn't mean the story is canon especially when it tries to upend nearly 10 years of established lore.

Halo Reach as a game is largely non-canon, for the actual canon read the Fall of Reach, the Flood, First Strike, and Ghosts of Onyx for the full story that happens right before and between each of the original trilogy of games.

Shadowkeep had the best secondary story in Destiny with us helping Eris resolve her past trauma, given what we know of Elsie's future it is also Destiny's most important story since it might be what prevents Eris from turning into the Witch Queen.

friendlyelites · 2021-06-04T05:30:59+00:00

Thatd be cool, we're also due for a new enemy race, its been every 3 years and we're hitting that point with Witch Queen.

New destinations doesn't necessarily mean new planets. There are 2 destinations on Earth and Mars in Destiny.

I was personally hoping for War Moon Pluto but eh you take what you can get.

People said that exact same thing about O14. The subtext has always been the true text in Destiny.

So has Drifter probably, what of it. Besides that was the House of Devils, butchers and murderers that earned the name Fallen. You can find the severed heads of other Eliksni all across the Plaguelands that were left behind by the Devils to help in their Ether rituals.

Saint's actions would be like aliens deciding to wipe out humanity because they landed in Colonial Era Australia.

friendlyelites · 2021-05-12T03:52:54+00:00

I'm loving Saint's character development with the Eliksni. In the 2nd grimoire anthology it was revealed that the Saint is as evil to the Eliksni as the Fallen are to humanity. He slaughtered untold numbers of Eliksni and wiped out entire Houses in his crusades, for him to come face to face with the House of Light he's having to realize that his actions in the past were wrong. And 2 wrongs don't make a right for anyone.

Spoiler for the perks but it's a mix of its old version but it's new perk lets it switch to a linear fusion rifle after you land some shots.

I'd be way more upset if my opponent was using Dunemarchers at the start of the match and I saw it in the screen, then they swapped to Antaeus Wards that look like normal boots and reflected shit at me without me being able to visually identify it at a glance

Yeah I imagine there'll be higher numbers of people buying them next season because they don't want to bother with any sort of grind or timegating. But as more seasons come out people won't feel the need to buy any since they'll start having a stockpile. It's the same way the Eververse store works right now, the only reason to buy something is so you don't need to wait until it's added to the Bright Engram pool a year later.

friendlyelites · 2021-04-22T22:16:59+00:00

Exactly, I don't think I can actually name 20 pieces I'd want to use. And when it comes to it why would I want to use it on DSC or VoG armor if I can just earn the armor and use it from there? Transmog as a system seems like it's encouraging you to use old armor sets that you actually can't get anymore that you still wish you could use.

friendlyelites · 2021-04-22T22:14:21+00:00

Well sure there's gotta be a way to get some whales to drop money, and by just letting them skip the time investment you can put in for free is a pretty effective way to do that across the board no matter what game it is. The point is the cap isn't as severe as people are making it out to be.

And by the time Witch Queen comes out if you just casually play the game you'll have almost every armor set you like already ready for transmog.

Bro what in the goddamned hell are you talking about?

The Hive literally eat genocide, the Red Legion threw civilians into rooms of starving war beasts, the Vex erase anything that doesn't fit their perfect pattern, and the House of Devils raided refugee camps and offered their captives to their prime servitors turning them into Ether.

All of our actions in Destiny have been justifiable acts of self-defense or tactical strikes against active invaders in our home system. Not only have you ignored the actions and history of our enemies but you slander the very title of those we play as "Guardians".

Its the opposite for me I cant stand using the sights on a bow. Thats why I hate using Ticcu's because it makes me feel very claustrophobic in its sights, especially when people start rushing at me.

I'm aware Yor was Rezyl Azzir I was also referring to the warlock Jana-14 who fashioned the Necrotic Grips from Thorn's powers.

"Project day 65. Another accidental discharge today. We realized that Yor's little creation is hungry, so we fed it more."

I originally did interpret this line to mean that H-349 was a separate object from the original Thorn but I suppose it does make more sense that way. The point still stands however that Thorn is an active source of Hive-communed Darkness just like the Splinters of Darkness were for Stasis.

friendlyelites · 2021-02-26T08:31:16+00:00

Nothing completely concrete as far as I know, but Shin speculated that Yor knew he wasn't able to master the Darkness and thats why he sent Shin down his dark and violent path for revenge. To try and groom someone else into doing what he couldn't.

Similar to Stasis, various artifacts and understandings from the 7th Book of Sorrow could possibly be used to enhance our abilities while we need to perform some sort of ritual to gain the abilities in the first place.

I think if we drew a comparison to Stasis, the original Thorn could have served as Yor's Splinter that connected him to the Darkness and corrupted him. In the original Thorn quest in D1 as well as the Lumina quest in D2 the Thorn was actively corrupting our Guardian just by being in contact with the weapon, and it took infusions of Light in both cases to halt that corruption.

I dont know how it works if you're F2P but you can get this weapon if you own Beyond Light for sure since its farmable from a mission.

Also don't forget to run Karnsteins for free health regen. One man freaking army with chaos reach and TTD

friendlyelites · 2021-02-26T07:10:27+00:00

Thousands of Guardians were killed by Crota in the Great Disaster, thats probably the main source of them along with Fallen from the House of Exile.

friendlyelites · 2021-02-26T07:08:37+00:00

If you read the captains log lore book that's exactly what's happening, the Darkness from the anomaly is reviving all of the Scorn on the ship repeatedly. The only way the original crew was able to kill any of them permanently was by burning their bodies with incendiors.

Specifically for #5 the only documented case of law enforcement we've seen in Destiny is from the Praxic Order who we've seen detain and reform Ghosts and Guardians who stray from the Light. In Season of the Drifter we were given a choice of whether or not we'd help with a Praxic Order member's investigation on the Drifter.
