I didn't even realize that he presumably died there until I read it in this thread and saw it again on my alt playthrough. Like I guess the Consul punches him off screen or something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is some scannable lore about the speaker in the new tower it is near the staircase(above it) on the way to ikora/clan lady/new monarchy. It basically says this is the speakers living quarters, there have been many speakers before. IIRC it was pretty vague about the fate of the traveller, I don't remember verbatim.

Things could be going better

What can you even buy with Real Money? Cosmetic stuff? You can get purples from the Bright Engrams but they are just jumped up 10 power greys.

It's all it is and some blue powerups for armor. There's a set of armor for each class too but I wonder if it resets weekly with the ingame currency for bright stuff. Right now you can get the gloves for 800.

I think someone figured out a roundabout way to turn real money into legendary shards but no one cares because we're all swimming in those anyway. Same for the ability to buy blue mods, it's so minor it's only barely pay to win and won't matter in the endgame.

According to Reddit one of the perks you can get on eververse ghosts is +10% XP in a given destination which would be great but I'm not going to put down money for it.

I know it's very early but is there a go-to Warlock build for Strikes that people have had success with? I've been getting by with Stormcaller and that Arc helm exotic but it doesn't feel great. I think someone mentioned earlier a Void build with the Void exotic helm? Do you even need one build, or have to switch a bunch during the Nightfall?

I wonder if they're going to expand on that last line from the Speaker, "I never said it spoke to me" or if it's just kind of a neat hint about how the last city's government works.

Breathe.

I got one of the ghosts from Eververse that gives you +10% XP in the crucible. Seems lame since it's exactly the same as the kill tracking ghost only it doesn't also track kills.

Voidwalker devour build is really fun. Pair it with gear like Nezarec's helm that gives ability charge on void kills. Dawnblade with starfire protocol is kinda OP.

Yes.

If you can master Blink and have average aim you don't even really need to switch it up for PvP aside from your guns.

Cool, I'll give that one a try tonight maybe. The only exotic armors I have are 3 helms, the Arc crown, Nezarec and the quest reward one. Would love to get a Starfire Protocol.

So on nessus (I think??) there is an adventure that shows the cabal are "making a powder fit for a king" out of what they're mining. Dinklebot also discovers that first they turn what they're mining into a goo before it becomes powder. The patrols have you recovering empty ether containers.. are the cabal fuckin with that yayo??

All of D2 suggests there isn't a government. It's some kind of meritocracy. Everyone does whatever they want and who the gently caress is going to stop them? If they got a ghost they'll just respawn if you kill them. :shrug:

Sometimes a few people with a common view get together and do some stuff together. Until they don't want to anymore.

I'm pretty new and still figuring stuff out but any way you can expand a little bit on the switching guns. Obviously I understand that you mean some guns are better for pvp and some are better for pve stuff. But which are better, in your view? And are you talking a specific gun in particular?

Whatever happened to it, I wonder? SIVA fallen and that particular strike never made it to the final game. I would have thought the content was all wrapped up by the time they showed off the game for the first time. There was only mere months left to release.



I have a feeling we'll see SIVA Fallen in week 3 for the NF, but not sure what "Time warp : rings" means for tomorrow or Zero Hour for week 4.

I guess they never made it clear exactly what role the Speaker plays or how much power he has but even if he's just a ceremonial figure or whatever, the implication that he's actually just full of poo poo and no one really knows what the Traveler wants is potentially interesting.

That's the backstory to the leviathan. It eats planets to convert them into wine for the royals. Not even kidding.

The pre-order emblem of a goblet/chalice is a direct reference to it

The real question of our time is how fast the traveler's light burst expanded. I mean if it was light speed, the pyramids won't have seen it for at least 100,000 years given the milky way has a radius of about 50,000 light years.

Answering this should tell us when Destiny 3 will be ready. Hope y'all are patient.

At least Destiny 1's plot being complete gibberish makes a lot more sense that way.

It's space magic, it probably took like five minutes. Kinda makes you wonder why anybody on Earth still wants to put up with the Traveler anymore considering it just brings a neverending rain of world-ending catastrophes down on the whole solar system.
