"My man" is a funny phrase. Because originally it meant a form of servant, one who had pledged to do your bidding and work for you. And now it means a friend, typically one who helps you out with stuff. Which is completely different yet bassically the same.

[@N8kdmagazine]

I think the thing that fascinated me the most about VOG was that your guardian didn't die by stripping of light or ghost death to subsequent guardian death, your guardian died of being erased from time. Imagine if someone was talking about you in the Tower or the city while you're raiding VOG and you're erased, that conversation would either change to another guardian, or wouldn't even happen. A bit crazy, yes?

[@nadz9055]

Hol up wait a minute somthin aint right

Basically Praedyth. Happened with him. It’s why nobody thought he existed but was talked about very few times in their lore and all.

[@TobiTehMajyk]

I will forever hold my personal headcanon that the first raid team to go into the Vault was comprised of six Guardians. It could easily be just a misinterpretation of the leftover ghost shells; they could all in theory be Praedyth’s from different timelines or just stray Guardians. I’ve always thought it was strange that we had to find three ghost shells in addition to Praedyth’s. But my rationale at that point is that 3 of their 6 were victims of the Oracles/Gorgons and were erased. Not even Pahanin remembers them.

[@garrett_the_guardian5048]

After thinking about Kabyr’s line “The needle is the will of Atheon, I do not know the name of the shape that comes after,” and realized that Atheon and the vault aren’t trying to weave the vex into and through time. He’s trying to weave time into the vex

[@5amu22]

Oh yeah, it's big brain time

[@killingtime4444]

Thats what i was thinking. Like hes the glue to hold their desired timelines??? I dont know if that makes sense but its what came to mind when i read it

[@tsunertoo9149]

@@killingtime4444 I think it's more that Atheon is there to make all the time lines have a similar result. So once they find a timeline where the desired result happens, Atheon is the one who tries to apply that result to all timelines. That would explain why it would need the ability to freely move through time and simultaneously cause things to cease to exist. If you have the ability to move through all timelines as well as move backwards and forwards through time, it'd be pretty simple for you to pluck the "weeds" keeping them from their goal. Probably why the vault of glass is so important. It's essentially the "ship" that allows for him to travel through time in a similar way to how we garudians travel between planets. Without it, the infinite forest would mean nothing.

I've head a little rumour about Wyverns this season. This is from the Forbes website, by their usual Destiny informer Paul. Apparently, Wyverns are going to be joining in the fun of the raid Vault of Glass. And when I mean 'fun', I mean them finding it fun as you are yeeted halfway across the room before slaming into a wall. Don't know where or when they will appear in the raid, but they will be there. Add the addition of champions in definitely the harder version, as well as maybe appearing in the normal version, of the raid and you'll get the enjoyment of D1 AND D2, all in one raid. ENJOY!

“Praedyeth’s Timepiece” was the name of the legendary raid pulse rifle and I’ll never forget it. It was an arc damage pulse rifle with a hellava hair trigger. It was not “No time to explain.” “No Time to explain” is an exotic that’s from “Elsie Bray” also known as “The Stranger” in Destiny one. The rifle she wielded was called “The Stragers Rifle” which you received after completing Destiny 1’s campaign. It didn’t become “No time to explain” until after either “The Taken King” or “Rise of Iron. I could be wrong on the installment but that I’m absolutely on point with Praedyth’s Timepiece. That gun was so vicious they didn’t even put it in the D2 version of VOG. Lol.

This is one of the best videos you’ve made, Byf; You are an incredible narrator for incredibly rich lore

[@manobilification]

Maybe it's just me, but Patternfall reads a bit like Lovecraft to me. The mood, sentence construction and word usage is quite reminiscent of Lovecraftian texts and if there is a connection, that can add extra spiciness to the Vex lore.

Ngl, hearing Eye of the Gate Lord start about 2/3 in brought a smile to my face

[@blorfgur5430]

I love that the Vex are basically just the end state of a universe without Space Magic.

I had to do a double take on the literal embodiment of darkness saying “my man oryx” “If nobody got our back, we know my man oryx got our back” - the Witness

[@jzoidbergmd]

The writers at bungie must really love Dan Simmons and Ian M Banks. Vex are similar to the Technocore from Hyperion in many ways. I adore this type of creative storytelling. Byf, I hope you are rocking the “Chronicler” title in D2. Thanks for what you do!

I cannot wait for VOG to return. I never forgot VOG. It was amazing and a event that changed my life. May 22nd can't come soon enough 🤩🤘

C tier raid in terms of mechanics S+ tier raid in terms of experience and memorable events

Just imagine being the oracle that the guy decided to drink. Like you're just you know sitting there being a super computer calculating all kinds of stuff and all of a sudden you got to calculate you getting drunk by some random ass dude.

I think Paradox will always be my favorite mission in all of Destiny. Love that all of this is coming back now

[@gabrielgalasso4899]

I've only just noticed recently that Atheon actually has parts of him made out of glass

[@dankerbell]

wtf that's like his entire design

[@gabrielgalasso4899]

@@dankerbell yeah but i was baby monke brain when i first played destiny and had no idea how to raid, but now i am smart enough to understand mechanics even though vog mechanics are pretty simple, but never mind that, the point is I had no idea he was made partly of glass.

[@legendofacrius372]

Vog is, put simply, Vex place with timeline control. Of course, there are lots of Vex too.

[@SinisterSixx]

Yup, got YT premium just to listen to Byf videos while having my phone in my pocket at work. AMA.

[@andrewm5840]

haven't watched in awhile, dam I forgot how ASMR Byf's voice is! What's kinda sad is the vault is, to this day!, the only raid i've EVER completed

[@TheExtremist123]

I wish you uploaded these to Spotify. Would be good to listen while I'm driving.
