    I think there's going to be something really bittersweet about walking through the Pale Heart version of the D1 tower. It won't have the construction and noise of the original, it won't have Cayde talking nonsense over the coms (or maybe it will, who knows), no city to look at from up high, and of course rather than looking at the Traveler, we'll literally be INSIDE the Traveler.
    To an extent I'm almost glad the Tower isn't returning for Into the Light, because I think that moment of walking through a shell of our former home in eery silence will be something special.

      While the new area of Shaxx’s armory/arsenal is cool, I agree. I hope the D1 Tower returns. Imagine, the old Tower still the same, but having new features to accommodate our Coalition allies, the Hall of Heroes, renovated, as a larger space, and a larger table, a spot for each Coalition leader, their ambassador, (example: Caital and Saladin, Nimbus and Quinn), and seats at the table for a newly formed Consensus, with civil leader representatives. A Guardian Rasputin, and the Dark Vanguard could be involved too. We could stop by here for quests to increase Coalition Unity, with each leader we help. Each Coalition Unity rank, unlocking a new feature. Maybe in battlegrounds or onslaught, Rasputin summons an orbital Wasat strike, or House Light hacks Vex systems with the aid of Neomuni hackers. This would really make the Coalition feel genuine.

      To me, it feels more likely that the old Tower will be rebuilt in Echoes, or the next saga. Which Bungie has said, begins sometime two to three years later. Releasing three years from now. Either way, the Tower rebuilt, with features to accommodate our allies, after the Final Shape, would prefectly symbolize an end, and a new beginning. The Hall of Heroes, perhaps then, a place for Coalition leaders, and a new Consensus, to meet.

      @@Wrecktar96 Someone else mentioned this in the comments but it could be more impactful to see the ruined version in the Final Shape of our old home to remind us of how far we’ve been since then. But I can totally see a callback to D2 Redwar’s ending where we stand on a repaired and improved Tower while looking over the city at the end of Final Shape’s campaign.
      While it may not be 1:1 to the OG Tower, I do agree with you that having a united social experience with the Vanguard (if they stay a thing), and Shax, Saint, and all of the general vendors in one space so it feels like a command post, but also so we don’t spend the first 15 minutes of every session jumping around the system. And there’s enough space for holiday events, episode vendors (give the sweeper bot who has to clean up the HELM every year a break), a version of the throne world relic for quick crafting access. One can hope they do something like this.

      The fact that it’s in the tower, means Zavala had to have authorized it showing that he has indeed pondered what him Elsie spoke about. I have 2 alternate guesses:
      1.) Drifter did say he would do something that would “make us shiver” with the motes we gather in Gambit. Eris being an advocate for using the Darkness and her connection to Shaxx, it could be Shaxx agreed to guard it for when it was ready to be used…
      2.) It looks like a mini Heart of Darkness, but I wonder if they possibly got it from the Veil (assuming it’s still relevant beyond what the Witness used it for)…

    With the way you describe the state of the tower in D1, it almost makes me believe that they SHOULDN'T bring the tower back, but rather a whole new one, both a beacon of hope and strength, but also humility. Because make no mistake, the City has been humbled a few too many times in the last few years.

      Its the d1 armour designs. They were built to look like something from a lived in sci-fi future. While in d2 they shifted to more cartoony, outlandish designs. The big way to tell is to ask yourself "can the character actually put on or take off this armour?". For a lot of the d1 designs, the answer is yes. While for the vast majority of d2 designs, they can't. Theres no straps, zips, belts, or any other visible way to put the armour on. It just comes vacuum molded to their torso.

      It's kind of hilarious when you remember that theres eight towers. Only one of them was destroyed, why are we on the wall next to the main ruined one instead of one of the other seven? Like yeah, the fell into disrepair, one is a crucible map, etc. But they're still physically there and would be trivial to get back operational again compared to fixing the D1 tower. If nothing else, it would have been way easier to set up one of the other seven than it would have been to set up all the stuff we built on the wall.

    • @MynameisByf
      @MynameisByf  2 місяці тому +9

      Yes, and no. This is where The Osiris comics make things complicated. If I'm remembering the way Bungie writers explained it waaaay back in the day on twitter correctly there are meetings of the wider consensus (including citizens and factions not in the core membership of the big three, hence why FWC is there whilst not being on the core council at the time) and then there are consensus council meetings of a smaller manner where it's just the big three vanguard/consensus + The Speaker. The former are held in that separate venue you're talking about that's shown in the comics. The later took place in the tower.
      Correct of you to point it out, but man... I absolutely hate that that comic's lore threw so much unnecessary confusion into place...
      I believe this to be even more the case because of the audio logs of actual consensus meetings.
      www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/hollow-words www.ishtar-collective.net/entries/peace-by-consensus With the topics being discussed in these, if there was a wider population in the same room, you'd expect them to have reactions that interrupted the conversation's flow, but they're not there. That implies the degree of privacy offered by the Vanguard Hall.
      It's a mess... If I'm wrong I'd gladly accept that, but to the best of my knowledge, this is what's what. Comic lore is a mess.

    Apologies for the long post ahead...
    At this point, I really kinda don't want to go back to the old tower, as a social space, that is.
    Thinking back on it. I never really had a consistent team of people to raid with, my schedule was (and still is, tbh) a bit too erratic to keep a consistent group. I mostly relied on LFG to get my raids done, but I still remember we would all come back to the tower after a raid before we parted ways... well, for the most part haha. I think that in these moments, it really became a place to just wind down after what could have been hours and hours of attempting a particular encounter. I noted that 99% of the time we went back to the tower, it was either after a victory over a raid, or for a short reprieve before we could find another person on LFG to join the team. Any given LFG team, if it fell apart, it was within the raid itself. Y'know, the usual reasons: People got tired, became frustrated, ran out of time, and whatever other myriad reasons one might have for leaving a raid team.
    But going back to the tower, be it to take a breather or to briefly wind down before the group dissolved, it really felt special. Forgive what might seem like a tangent but... limitations can be a good thing. Nowadays we have an abundance of open world games, games in which you set your sights on the horizon and you chase it, games where the phrase "if you can see it, you can walk to it/climb it" is often uttered. This wasn't the case back when I was a kid and played games on the NES, N64, etc... I vividly remember playing Ocarina of Time and wondering what strange lands existed beyond the borders of Hyrule. Of course, the technical answer is that... They don't exist. There's nothing beyond the boundaries of the game map... But hey... it sure did make me wonder, huh.
    Taking it back to Destiny, THIS is the kind of feeling I had for years on that tower. Going as far back as vanilla D1, I always wondered what it would have been like to go down to the Last City. I honest-to-god wanted Destiny to BE like an RPG or open world game in the sense that you could go to towns and engage with the population. Heck, I still do, but I don't think it'll happen, and this is fine. It's true that over the years, we've gotten to explore bits and pieces of the city, certain sectors here and there, but not *quite* to the degree I would have wanted (though the farm and the Eliksni Quarter came pretty close). Most of the time we've been down there, it's been on missions, or with some manner of objective to accomplish. What I desired was to simply... walk among the people of the Last City, they who we protect.
    All of this I wondered from balcony of our original D1 tower as I gazed out into the distance at the city below our (mostly) silent god. But that's all I could do, just... gaze at it and wonder, and this is not something I'd have been able to do if the LIMITATION of the tower did not exist. The prospect of going down to the city or the immediate wilderness surrounding it was such a tease, but of course, we were, in a manner of speaking, "confined" to the tower. Hmm... When you think about it, it's really not unlike something some of you might or might have experienced at some point in your life if you've found yourself gazing at a set of buildings and just... wondering about the lives of the people in there (I believe you call that feeling "sonder"). To say that I experienced this while playing Destiny really speaks to the "immersiveness" of its world and the great craftsmanship of the artists behind its creation.
    It really was a special feeling, though, and this was made all the more so because it was linked to certain TIMES in my life. When I started playing Destiny back in 2014, I was in college, when Rise of Iron dropped, I'd moved across the country to go to medical school. Now we're facing the end of a decade-long journey, and I'm 2/3rds of the way through residency. I'm a doctor now, not fully independent, mind you (still got a year left), but it really hits me, looking back... Man I really grew up with this game lol...
    So much has happened in a single decade, and while it's nice to walk down memory lane from time to time (I suspect TFS will have a lot of this), I don't think there's anything for me in going back to the old tower... Because it just won't be the same. The line "you can never go home again" fully applies here. You simply cannot recreate the time I spent on that tower, it's just not the same, nor will it ever be... and so I have no interest in it coming back beyond as a nostalgiabait setpiece it appears to be in TFS.
    If you read through this whole thing... wow, wtf... uh.. thanks haha.

    I get people were nostalgic for the tower, but into the light was 100% the wrong time to have us move in up there again. We’re at our lowest point in the war; the witness has entered the traveller, and its forces have breached the city. Yet we open a lofty new tower? It doesn’t make sense from a narrative and in-universe perspective
    Imagine a pyramid appears in your bathroom and the guardians are launching beach balls off the tower into it

    Given the Darkness’s association with memory, I’m wondering if we’ll be getting the D1 Tower *and* Cayde-6 inside the Pale Heart as physical manifestations of *our* memories of them.
    (Or-with the way Darkness can manifest subconscious desires, rather than conscious, deliberate will like the Light-Cayde-6’s return could be a manifestation of *Crow’s* subconscious desire to erase his sins as Uldren.)

    I agree that the area that Lord shaxx is going to be using for the the immediate future is part of the jurisdiction of the cryptarch and the future War cult it's only an assumption. on fabric that can be seen in the areas and one or two places and based on the basement that was near the cryptarch location in Destiny 1? all in good fun but congratulations for having your own manufacturer.
