So, 2 (or more) Vex factions?

[@MynameisByf]

If “Aspect” is to be believed it would be easy to equate it to that. It’s hard to see what groupings of vex really are. Is it one collective mind? Is it a bunch of greater axis minds as suggested? Is every molecule of radiolaria sentient? We’re not sure how to beat quantify Vex and we’re not sure if Aspect holds with veracity.

It's also worth noting that 5 years ago, whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So we got to take out their command, one by one. From what Zavala could gather, Valus Ta'aurc commanded the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank outside of Rubicon. He was well protected, but with the right team, we punched through those defenses, took this beast out, and broke their grip on Freehold.

“Then they’ll be told like this” *Nectar mattress ad plays*

[@savagewraith]

"Have you ever had a nightmare?" Has so much deeper meaning now. The pyramid was calling out a long time. The man who would become Dredgen Yor was drawn to the moon. Alone, a champion, golden Titan, pillar of the city, plagued by nightmares of a foe he had not yet faced but could not rest or be at ease. I don't think it was just a random witch/wizard tempting Ryzel. I think the Darkness was reaching out, trying to tempt the Light's strongest champions throughout time. He just found the Hive. Waiting. Festering on the moon.

[@savagewraith]

And considering how the Dreaming city lore tied so many historically important guardians together in the Great Hunt, I think it's entirely probable, and entirely likely that the Darkness used Ryzel's desire to safeguard humanity and prepare them for what's out there to lure him to the moon with the visions of the hive and possibly the Winnower. Especially considering the Lumina quest, and lore.

[@savagewraith]

@My Name is Byf oh! What if the Knight Ryzel fought was a certain Knight mentioned in the collectable lore from Shadowkeep? The one who was wounded and lost part of his arm? The witch in the lore around Dredgen Yor is almost certainly one of the many Deathsingers. Oh man. Just when I think I'm content with Ryzel and his story Bungie keeps pulling me back in. Ryzel and the tragedy of his Sorrow's Road, the best of us becoming the worst in order to inspire growth and evolution (*cough sword logic cough*) in order for us to be strong enough to face the coming Darkness. I was gonna play random games tonight but now I'm gonna get on D2 just because I love this universe. Bungie might not always deliver on this or that, but the story. The history. The atmosphere. So good.

[@savagewraith]

Also what if the Pyramind that crashed on the moon is just like how the Traveler hangs low above Earth? What if they're both the last ship of opposite sides of an ancient war? Both were comatose...until we stirred up the dust.

[@justicebrown1077]

Honestly I find it entirely probably that Yor will return. When Xivu attacks a planet, she incites civil war there first. A war between Guardians and Dredgen would be a big distraction tbh. But this time the Dredgen would be empowered by the full range of Darkness elements. Antimatter, Stasis, and Soulfire

[@ghornisbae1653]

Jake Dempsey. Yeah none of the enemies are perfect. They all have factions and disagreements. Xol was the weakest worm and feared Oryx and now savathun. It’s now part of our weapon. The vex have an unknown goal for now but not all worship the darkness. The fallen have always been fragmented scavengers after the traveler left them, some were already our buddies. We also have the cabal who for now have shown no ties to the darkness and juts some civil strife. So much potential for the story and lore.

Vex's origins (at least how'd they came into our universe) was pretty explained in the Books of Sorrow. Based on information from it I think the Vex were not machines or radiolaria. They were immaterial entities which are inhabited their own realm. When Crota accidentally opened a rift to their realm, the Vex invaded Oryx's throne world. IN this manner the Vex remind me of Riftborn from Endless Space 2 which are also was orginiated from other dimension and upon exiting it took the form of machines and are also can manipulate time.

Scroll down to become confused. After the Black Garden gig, Skril-Vex the Sanctified Mind calculated that it would have greater opportunities if it played for the Pyramid on the moon. Using Cabal speakers, it had salvaged from Ghaul's command ship, Skril-Vex played its dubstep so well, that the Pyramid couldn't pay it enough, so the Pyramid tipped Skril-Vex in statues, and gave it an IOU for 25000 glimmer. Later, after a group of guardians had crashed another one of Skril-Vex's Black Garden gigs, Skril-Vex met Ignovun at a MetalliCabal concert. The Cabal love thrash metal, after all. Ignovun borrowed both of Skril-Vex's speakers and used them to play the heaviest metal in the universe at a gladiatorial contest involving radiolaria and some of Zahn's inventions. Thus ends the story of Skril-Vex, the Sanctified Mind.

You know, something had been bothering me about the raid, but I hadn't been able to put it into words until now. There's no story in it. Like, the campaign itself is fine. Eris finds a spooky, we get spooked, we come face to face with an ancient enemy, etc. It's a decent enough start to something. But if the raid is the continuation, then it's... incredibly lacking? The vex are doing a bad for some reason, so we kill them, and that's... kind of it? Sure, the lore implications are neat and all, but the story itself is.... ehhhhh? Couldn't we have the Darkness narrating to us to put things into context? There's _plenty_ of time to explain, why not use it? It's vanilla D1 all over again, except it's worse because we _know_ bungie can do better

twiexcursori well I think the context of it is that we don’t know what we’re doing and we aren’t supposed to know that what we are doing is the right thing or not, that we could be doing exactly as they wanted and we would be none of the wiser... if we were told we would know the answer and it would remove some of the mystery behind our actions and we would either feel more justified or know exactly what we are doing but as of current time we have no clue what the final goal is and we can only hope that what we are doing is the right thing

[@Storm1Trooper5]

But isn’t that the point? We don’t know what’s happening

"And it goes like this..."Sprint ad

[@damon5257]

Byf “They will be told like this...” Ad “THIS IS HOW WE DO IT”

[@Frankly-_]

Fourth subclass with a new element that is the darkness would be fucking sweet, and judging by the lore on this new fire team it may be a possibility in the future.

[@morgothz0]

Am i the only one who read "The vex found the heart of the black garden" i think about the vex finding the black garden in itself then move in? Like, the black garden was not ALWAYS a vex construct, more like everywhere else we saw them do, they found it then make themself part of it by "merging" with it? (also, the card about the light and darkness is depicted as a gardener and the other (i forgot at this moment)... what if the original tree of silverwing was in the (black) garden and when it died and the darkness took over the garden it became the black garden??)

[@kevinc8369]

I remember completing the black heart quest in destiny 1 and thinking to myself was this really it? 5 years later they finally build on it!

[@appaappa9808]

Then in Witch queen we found out it wasn't the vex talking to us, it was the Witness

[@noven8259]

I like to think that the whole 'darkness being our salvation' thing is the what sets it up so that we can later choose between darkness and light, choosing the darkness would mean us believing that it is our salvation and light being the opposite.

[@roguevirgo902]

this byf intro had a lot more bass that usual in his voice. that was much more buttery

[@Freddonzolo90]

I remembered that Kabr meant "tomb" in Urdu and figured I'd check into Kentarch, and found out that Kentarch means "control", and Rekkana means "recline" in Urdu. Dunno if that means anything but it's a thing. Keep up the killer work, Byf

[@Bugattiboy912]

"The tale of the Sol Divisive is not yet over." Well that certainly didn't age well.

[@ShiftySubset4]

I remember emptying an island of ammo during that mission good times goooood times

[@matthewjohnmoriarty]

Great video! The production quality is so good!

[@Aponte55]

Amazing job with this video... With the music and all mixing in, such a great video

[@brownpower9229]

Iirc way back before even D1 was released, there was a post on 4chan about destiny leaks, in that leak they talked about the third subclass which didnt get announced until years later. They also talked about the Vex being the final evolution of the Exos

[@Camelotsmoon]

13:34 And then we chose to wield stasis.

[@RobertEHouse]

Who remembers the black heart fragments you gave to the speaker

[@Donball]

Byf: Do you remember... Me: ...the 21st night of September?

[@VergilPeterson]

Love was changing the minds of pretenders

[@metyopps]

Hey Byf. I just discovered a glitch in the lore books. If you have any hidden and any unlocked above the hidden, you can select details as you hover over the hidden lore and see what it is.

[@suprizeoptomist4680]

Little did we know then that we would suffer nearly two months of content drought to reach Europa and welcome the darkness with the sloppiest of deepthroat embraces.

[@Ali_ReBORN]

Haven’t seen your content in a while Byf! Good to be back :)

[@erroroflife187]

I think where we fought the Sanctified Mind atop the mesa, cuz u can't see it anywhere looking for the final boss area. pretty neat

[@MrTazz3700]

This was the best thing to srice to work to love the content byf
