Perhaps more interesting than Crow is the implication that Savathun can restore memories of guardians

I think it was because she was riding along in his skull via Riven that she was able to restore those memories, rather than re-threading what used to exist.

It says alot that Telesto’s lore tab always held a secret message in it hinting that Crow was the bad guy.
That's from back when he was Uldren, before he died. He was also called Crow back then in meta-reference to the old E3 trailer.

How much of a poo poo would the Hive really give when their whole lives have just been conquest and idiotic sword logic poo poo.

And regular guardians don't remember anything anyway do they? They can just have some Hive equivalent of the speaker tell the guardians what to do and why.

Well let me take it a step further. Newly rez'd Hive Knight is going to ask Savathun who she is, and she's gonna say, "I have no idea"

So she's got some more schemes going on, and giving Crow his memories is a little sneak preview of it, methinks

I'm going to guess Hive Guardians are going to function differently then normal guardians, or it's going to be a "stolen light" or "artificial light" sort of deal where they get all the powers of the light without the whole connection to the traveler and stuff. Like, Hive ghosts aren't normal ghosts too.

Seems like a lot of effort for that end goal. Seems like it'd be easier to build that AI and just use existing assets.

I could see it being dual purpose tech. Could be neat to get some new forms of PvE modes that take use of more sophisticated AI, like a gambit remix that has you against and AI team or something.

But also, who's to say Hive Guardians aren't just going to be typical enemies/bosses only they can pull out supers on you to ruin your day? That said, if they still have stomps I'll go ape poo poo.

Thundercrash into a stomp for good measure.

edit: Slide shotgunning still a thing? Got a fractethyst with accurized, corkscrew, slideshot, opening shot and a ranged MW. It's... a lot of range. Also I'm bad at pvp.

Hive Guardians don't have access to stasis.

The real question, does their worm get rezzed alongside them, or is Savathun playing a very long game of getting her own army here.

Her whole plan is to be free of her Worm, so she still has to convince us to

-Kill her worm
-Kill her
-Upload her memory to the corrupted vex network or something so she can restore her memories after she gets her spiny ghost

I finally got the special version of the Corrupted strike done for the "Darkness in the Light" quest thanks to some of the fine folks in the Discord, but now I'm stuck in Gambit Hell for the foreseeable future. How many wins do you need for that one? Because now I'm getting the spectacular run of bad Gambit luck.

No Hive will betray the worm gods without some real tangible evidence that they’re cutting their own worms out.

And since that evidence will be great recruiting propaganda for the lucent brood we are sure to see it.

It's not that bad, the only thing that happens when you reach 10 stacks is your health going down reaaaaaally slowly. If you have any abilities, mods or perks that restore health you can literally ignore it.

Also at the boss fight you really shouldn’t be getting stacks at all, you should be killing the goblins and picking up their Flamin’ Hot gambit motes.
