They show an example of Strand in the warden of nothing strike hooking onto the trains for super quick movement, but my guess is that the true broken movement tech is going to be hooking onto a phalanx shield and let them slam you, and the combined momentum of the hit and being whipped will launch you straight into orbit

[@barstool9156]

I have noticed a problem with strand and the beyond light campaigns First, Neptune will be designed with strand in mind. They will make certain areas only traversable if you are using strand and only strand ( they will make it so Stasis is not a viable option. At least if your not insane. My fear is that, like Witch Queen with Deepsight, we will be forced to use strand for the majority of the playthrough so that we can at minimum, traverse the map. This will make the already hard Legendary Campaign even harder as any build you did have, will be useless. This will make the campaign much harder and overall much more annoying to play. I can only see three things they would do to solve this. Like Beyond Light, they give you strand at the end of the campaign, but that creates the problem of “we are suppose to discoverer it during the run” The second solution is that they do something similar with the cruces of Darkness in beyond light. They give us the moments where we discover another aspect of Strand and use that aspect in that moment. You are not forced to play strand other then in those moments. You still get the aspects though. This is honestly the best solution as people who would rather have a functioning build can still have that build, but get epic moments in the campaign where they can still wield Strand. The last, and most likely solution is that they just give us Strand in the first or second mission and we don’t have to use it for they playthrough at all. No epic moments. No requirements. What sucks is that there is a promise of “Discovering” strand. We all want to do that. It’s hard to implement though.

@Skyburner's Oath yes, she was just a voice

[@dittmar104]

I love strand, especially how it ties back into the old D1 theory or speculations about the scientific grounding of light - and now dark powers. Originally we just had the light 3 Solar, Arc, and Void; these were often given hints towards Nuclear fusion, Cold fusion, and Gravity. This has since become more directly referenced with the rediscovery of the third subclasses back in The Taken King expansion with inclusions like sun spots and gravity well tethers. Then we Collected Stasis which is still more metaphorical than directly stated to be Entropy weaponized. It removes heat from what it touches; freezing it. Now with Strand, we have String theory weaponized. Mastery over quantum mass through understanding what Light CAN'T touch. Now String theory is dependent on gravity or void so we can see Void and Strand as opposites which could be the basis for how we made the leap in understanding to discover Strand through the work of void walkers and their contemporaries. This also reflects how we can see Solar and Stasis as opposites. Then Looking at a ven diagram of primary light we can see That yellow (or solar) mirrors blue (stasis), purple (void) mirrors green (Strand), and cyan (Arc) will be mirrored by some form of red energy. Now what's interesting about this is how our light subclasses don't actually use primary colors to symbolize them, is this just an artistic choice, some twisted metaphor, or even Foreshadowing for something nefarious? Personally, I see it as the Bomb Logic in practice raw material forged together for a greater purpose. But in any regard what I'm truly curious about is what concept will power the red subclass. Could it be time? Well since we've seen time utilized in the vault of glass being marked for negation or in the harpies' gaze your vision goes red, and the eye of vex constructs are tinted red. However, time is a rather weak connection to Arc as a concept. I think instead we'll get a subclass based on magnetic forces, leaning into repulsive forces to distance it from void that way we have an Electromagnetic parallel. But honestly, I'm no warlock or scientist so I really don't know. I'm just a hunter who's got a love for applying artistic interpretation where intent might never have been and has picked up tidbits of knowledge along the way. So if any of this doesn't make sense feel free to voice your reasoning.

Honestly the idea and general aesthetic of Strand isn't so much of an issue as the colour they chose to use for it for me.

Idk, the way I see it is Darkness is more about manipulating existing energy rather than creating it. Stasis was all about removing energy from things, Strand is about taking the already existing energy and pulling it and molding it, kinda aggressively. It's not so much the antithesis of Light. Just like how the Dark Side in Star Wars wasn't the antithesis of the Light Side. The Light Side was allowing you to flow with the Force whereas The Dark Side was about bending the force to your will.

Story theory: The cloud striders in Neomuna didn't survive the collapse. They might've caused it or helped the black fleet in it. Love to hear some more thoughts and theories tho.

[@mxmln3035]

But didn’t one cloudstrider shoot a rocket at a small pyramid ship in the trailer ?

[@frostmawedits9879]

That would be super interesting! Or perhaps even the Cloud Striders are descendants of the few humans who knew about the coming collapse and devised a plan in utmost secrecy to escape and start a new race on Neptune. Hidden away from prying eyes for centuries, the veil has finally been lifted. Now they fight on two fronts...one to protect their home from invasion and the other to keep the truth about their history buried forever...

Yep Eramis pulled a captain America, although she's a villain and she came back in a much shorter space of time lol. With characters like that, you have to shatter them if you freeze them. Otherwise they come back. That, I think, was a blunder on our guardian's part, and that's why I nicknamed this season season of the blunder xD.

[@Jpow5734]

Am I the only one that finds it kinda cheap that they are adding a new hyper advanced faction into the fight supposedly out of thin air that the vanguard never even knew existed even know they’ve been around since the collapse in our solar system right under our noses and that I’m guessing this faction is going to come in an save the day for us and help us in our fight against the witness. I just feel like they’re trying to compensate for making the darkness and witness so much more powerful than the guardians and our allies by forcibly throwing in a curveball out of nowhere to try and level the playing field.

[@J-manli]

In lore, we've barely explored beyond Saturn since the collapse, and we know that humanity colonized the entire Sol System during the golden age. The Jovians: the area of the Sol system beyond the asteroid belt is territory of The Nine.

[@madmaxim3965]

Honestly the game play loop has been getting so stale and there been no major changes to it since pretty much forsaken and the scorn I'll take whatever hit the storytelling takes for an actual city landscape that's not destroyed and may even have areas with npc in it not to mention a brand new race and all that's brings, hopefully there's some changes to the season gameplay loop as well

@@SamDude-ww7rl yeah personally I think plunder was great lol arc 3.0 was very fun, kings fall was super fun, ketchkrash is one of the best seasonal activities and I enjoyed playing festival of the lost since it was my first time since shadowkeep.

@@Maxeh I respect your opinion as well I understand why people hated that season but I also may be a bit biased since I also was doing my stasis fragments that I never did, catching up on gm weapons and doing the witch queen patterns so I was kinda more occupied due to a lack of playing witch queen at launch and etc.

[@deadarashi6462]

The new Strand subclass feels so out of place, like it was made purely for the neon city theme and looks nothing like a darkness subclass. I just dont understand how they went from the already established corruption of Thorn, Osteo Striga and Necrotic Grips, just to turn around and go "new element is matrix". Doesn't sit well with me.

[@astonmartini6970]

Yeah I think that's more give magic tho, less darkness more hove specific, the weapons of sorrow are hive weapons mixed with human weapons

Hear me out, lightfall and it’s 4 seasons deal with us fighting calus/witness but we lose or draw at every point and the final season leading up to final shape we loose it all: the city, tower, and the traveler. So the beginning of final shape we start with only darkness powers (much like how we’re lightless at the beginning of the red war) and throughout the main campaign of final shape we take back the light and stop Xivu then kill the witness in the last raid!
