When the time is right. It absolutely needs to happen but putting out a big lore video on a character whose actor just died isn’t the move. I’m not here to make metadata out of the man. When the time is right and it’s clearly respectful, I’ll be sure to make it. Just not right now.
@@MynameisByf good thinking Mr Byf i definitely think you should do a deep dive on Zavala but giving it some time is the right move Keep your chins up Guardians ❤
@@MynameisByf The character and Lance's devotion to it deserves a video, but Lance's family and close ones deserve time to grieve in peace. Definitely agree with giving this time.
I really hope they make an exotic Glaive named Reddick’s lance in memorial for Lance Reddick and fall all he’s done for the Destiny community and others ❤ rest in peace commander
I think my allergies were starting to act up. I haven't been acting up since I heard about his passing yesterday, but for whatever reason they started acting up during that brief pause.
I'm so sad for Lance. I turned 20 a few days before destiny 1 came out, and Zavala has been there constantly. I'm several months out from Turning 30 and I did not expect to not have him with us. This hurts so bad man.
I feel that. I was an idiot middle schooler when d1 released, now I'm about to completed my bachelor's degree. I literally grew up listening to his voice.
Lance Riddick portrayed and voiced many characters I grew up with. His enthusiasm for portraying Zavala and being a part of the Destiny community was unmatched. You can rest now Commander, your watch has ended.
He hasn't truly left us as long as we remember his words "Whether we wanted it or not we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars" no guardian will ever forget him since that line is burned into our memory.
Went to the Tower to pay my respects to Lance. So many Guardians were there. Walked slowly instead of running. Saluted. Emoted sadness. Sat together for a while. Godspeed, Commander.
I sat there with a massive group of guardians for about an 30 minutes yesterday. It absolutely hurts, but it makes me happy to see so many in the community coming together to pay respects.
Byf, you're a fantastic human being for giving our commander that minute of silence and not just pumping out any Zavala related lore/content right away. I respected you before, I respect you even more now.
RIP Lance, since the first day playing the beta back in 2014 his voice as Zavala has been iconic. He is truly irreplaceable. Taken from his family and us far too soon. I’ll be praying for him tonight.
Lance was a great actor and a funny comedian from time to time. His death really hurt, I liked the guy, I imagine his friends and family are in shock right now.
What a beautifully written motivation and exposition for Nezarec and a tangible visceral underlying danger from his powers. If only Bungie like, made that apparent at all in the campaign? Remember when Atheon felt cool because at the very least the reality bending powers and time travel of the vex was a fully fleshed-out threat that gave our actions a feeling of purpose and urgency? I was going through RoN challenge mode like “I’m here to uhhh stop the voices? Some kind of fog is coming to the hypernet idk.” Just kind of sad imo.
Whoever is responsible for taking the lore this game has, and choosing to give idiots like nimbus the amount of screen time he had has to be genuinely brainless. It’s like taking lord of the rings and making rings of power from it.
Man I don't know if an actor's passing in recent years has hit me quite as hard as Lance. From live action to animation, his voice and presence was an iconic one that can't be replaced. Rest in Peace.
Moment of silence gave me chills. I went from not really knowing what was happening, to it dawning on me and kind of holding back tears. Much love Byf. Rest in peace, commander.
The fact you had a whole min of a moment of silence for Lance, says a lot about who you are Byf. I appreciate you. Someone who can care less about the in game lore, you make everything on the outside enjoyable.
I really like the way you did the moment of silence. There were many ways to do it, it could have come off as much more talky or 'contenty' but the way you did it was simple and respectful. Thank you.
One thing that's been running through my mind for a while is that kinda-forgotten second form of Psions, the Flayers. To flay something is to remove it's skin, which sounds rather painful. I wonder if Nezarec had something to do with the creation of Flayers.
Lance passing away hit me harder than I expected he was like a close friend that I saw pretty much every day for 8 Years, I literally graduated to go home and play d2 I'm just very sad about it. Rest in piece, Commander.
I never knew him personally, but as the Commander, he's been a voice in my ear for nearly a decade. I'm sad for him and his family, his friends and fans... As the Commander, he held the wall for us for years. And he was a great sport about it, through all the memes and voice requests. I think It's gonna be hard, getting to know whoever will be Zavala after this. It was good to have known him, if only barely as some random on the internet. Rest well, Mr. Reddick. o7
My first experience with Lance Reddick was as Papa Legba in AHS Coven and I was so excited when I played D1 and it was the same actor. I even named my clan ‘The Scarlet Coven’ to mix in the fact we were a group of witches who loved Destiny and AHS Coven and grew close because of our love for both. I will miss him and cherish his work
Thank you for the moment of silence, Byf. I still can't believe the Commander is gone. "When a spark goes online, there's great joy. When one's extinguished, the universe weeps." -Rhinox
Thank you for putting that silence in there. I wasn't expecting to cry at a silent black screen, but here we are. Rest in peace Commander, you will be missed.
per audacia ad astra, Commander, may you rest peacefully amongst them. A glorious moment of silence. Lance, and his outstanding work, and love for our community, will be deeply missed. Guardian Down, but not forgotten.
Loved Lance’s work, I enjoyed his portrayal as Sylens in Horizons world too. You’ll never be forgotten commander Zavala, rest easy we’ll take it from here.
Thank you for the minute of silence for my Titan Vanguard. A truly great man and actor, and one of my favorite characters in science fiction EVER. The world has lost another great one.
It’s been an honor fighting alongside you guardian. We can carry it forward. May you rest peacefully. Your strength gives us strength. We will see each other again one day.
Rest in Peace Commander, you went through a war with the cabal on mars to joining forces with the cabal on earth. You truly are a legend and we will never forget you.
Was a fan of Lance long before destiny, and to have him as Commander Zavala felt just right. I wish him peace in the after, he will be cherished and remembered.
I am very, very thankful for the pure minute of nothing. A minute of silence, a minute in memory of our Commander. For Lance Reddick. Much love to you Byf and thanks for your videos and respectful sights on things. Much love to you bro ❤
Rest in peace, Commander. We'll hold the line, and let our light shine, and guide the way for others as you did. But your Light, will still guide many to come, may it never fade.
I gotta say Byf, one thing I appreciate is how over the years you've added more inflection and changes in delivery when reading dialogue in lore tabs to convey the tone and character. It really makes the lore more immersive.
It genuinely hurts that he's gone and I genuinely cried when I heard of his passing. I still can't believe it. Rest in Peace Lance Reddick and thank you for being our Commander. Per Audacia Ad Astra, We'll see you starside.❤❤
A sad day for Guardians we fell upon on we lost a great talent and great Guardian. May Zavala and Cayde have many more adventures together and rest in piece Lance Reddick you will be dearly missed. I hope they do a tribute for him in the game. I remember hearing this and immediately logging in and kneeling beside Zavala for the entire day
Rest in peace to Lance aka Commander Zavala. This one really hurt me like I knew him! God bless his family and friends. He will live on forever thru his roles.
Begging for a Zavala lore piece.
Rest in peace, Commander.

Pinned this because it’s a pretty common question. Gives everyone a look at my answer.
@@MynameisByf Didn’t consider that. Thanks for answer.

Indeed.
@@lilwindingo1100 Indeed.
Mad respect for holding a minute of silence for lance. Would love to see a full lore video about zavala in his honour
Yes ^^^^
Indeed....
True that
Hell yeah
Rest in peace Lance. He was an inspiring person. His legacy, as well as everyone’s legacy of passion in video games is why I love them as a medium.
First knew him as Broyles from Fringe, his iconic voice is something I will always recognize.
I hadnt cried at all from Lance's passing, but that first minute brought a tear to my eye. Rest In Peace, Commander.
Same here. Didn't know the man, but I was getting a lot of water in my eyes during that silence lol.
May he rest in peace.
I think my allergies were starting to act up. I haven't been acting up since I heard about his passing yesterday, but for whatever reason they started acting up during that brief pause.
That's why a moment of silence can be so powerful. It's what we hear now that they are gone. You come to that realization, and it hits you hard.
love the minute of silence for Lance, his light will never fade.
Rest in peace commander. We'll see you in the light.
Guardians never die. But when they do, they’re never forgotten.
I'm so sad for Lance. I turned 20 a few days before destiny 1 came out, and Zavala has been there constantly. I'm several months out from Turning 30 and I did not expect to not have him with us. This hurts so bad man.
Turned 20 one day before lance passed
I feel that. I was an idiot middle schooler when d1 released, now I'm about to completed my bachelor's degree. I literally grew up listening to his voice.
Rest In Peace Commander. Your legacy will never be forgotten. You have been a part of my life in a significant way for over half of it.
Lance Riddick portrayed and voiced many characters I grew up with. His enthusiasm for portraying Zavala and being a part of the Destiny community was unmatched. You can rest now Commander, your watch has ended.

Emoted sadness.
Sat together for a while.
Godspeed, Commander.
I sat there with a massive group of guardians for about an 30 minutes yesterday. It absolutely hurts, but it makes me happy to see so many in the community coming together to pay respects.
The moment of silence at the beginning... You will be missed, Lance. May the Light guide you to a more relaxing place.
Never thought I'd start crying at a minute of black screen... rest in light Commander, the Vanguard will uphold your values
Thank you for the moment of silence Byf. Rest in peace Commander
RIP Lance, thank you for an amazing 10 yrs as OUR COMMANDER, ur legacy will never be forgotten
Thank you for that moment of silence, the amount of content creators honouring zavala makes me really happy
Rest in piece Lance, you were an amazing person and actor. Wherever you may be, I hope you’re resting well.

@@NakulKrishna A perfect example! I LAUGHED SO HARD!!
They have such amazing writers it’s a shame they don’t translate this stuff into the game
Man I don't know if an actor's passing in recent years has hit me quite as hard as Lance. From live action to animation, his voice and presence was an iconic one that can't be replaced. Rest in Peace.
His toystore skit is a golden memory, rest in peace Lance.

Whether we wanted it or not, an angel has found his wings. Pour one out for the Commander. Rest in peace, Lance.
Rest in peace, Commander. Your light was brighter than most. You will be truly missed
The minute of silence was a vary nice and respectful touch.
Rest easy Commander.
Rest in peace Lance, your voice has lead us for 9 years of Destiny, rest easy, and know that your talent and art will never be lost on us
Very thoughtful moment of silence. Rest in peace Lance, it's a terrible loss to our community and more importantly his family and friends.
The fact you had a whole min of a moment of silence for Lance, says a lot about who you are Byf. I appreciate you. Someone who can care less about the in game lore, you make everything on the outside enjoyable.
This was the most honorable intro to a video for a video game I think I’ve ever seen
rest in peace commander

"Still, the walls stand." Rest in peace Lance.
it's so nice to see the community come together to honor lance and the impact he's had on us. rest in peace commander ❤️
Thank you Byf for the moment of silence. We will keep the city safe, rest in peace commander.
Rest easy big man. You will always be our commander and the most badass concierge to grace the screens.

A moment of silence
Rest in peace, Commander.
It hurts more then i though it would
I wonder what the other Gods of Pain were seeing Nez is apparently the final god of pain.
Could be a title? Passed down maybe?
It’s been an honor fighting alongside you guardian. We can carry it forward. May you rest peacefully. Your strength gives us strength. We will see each other again one day.
A very nice touch at the start there. Zavala only lore video for our fallen commander would be a fitting touch. RIP
The moment of silence at the beginning for the passing of Lance was a small but very touching addition
Rest in Peace Commander, you went through a war with the cabal on mars to joining forces with the cabal on earth. You truly are a legend and we will never forget you.
Our Commander now bathes in the Traveler’s light. He has become legend
Mad respect for the moment of silence for Lance, love it Byf
I always appreciate your lore videos, always done with class; I'm sure the commander would've appreciated it.
Was a fan of Lance long before destiny, and to have him as Commander Zavala felt just right. I wish him peace in the after, he will be cherished and remembered.
Rest In Peace Commander. Even in death, you inspire us to look for the light, even in the darkest of times…
I am very, very thankful for the pure minute of nothing. A minute of silence, a minute in memory of our Commander. For Lance Reddick.
Much love to you Byf and thanks for your videos and respectful sights on things. Much love to you bro ❤
Rest well Lance. You left too soon. We will continue our legacy till the very end!
And this story of the anger and pain is some really good stuff.
R.i.p Commander Lance. You will be remembered with cherished memories and dearly missed...
You're a class act, Byf. Thank you for the moment of silence.
Rest in peace Lance, you were an amazing voice actor and there can be no good replacement for your work
thank you for the respect Byf, speaks to your character
Rest in peace, Commander. We'll hold the line, and let our light shine, and guide the way for others as you did. But your Light, will still guide many to come, may it never fade.

The moment of silence was greatly appreciated.
Rest well, Commander
Rest in Peace, Commander. We'll see you starside.
Great video, as always, Byf. Curious to see if this'll be the last time we see Nezarec or not.
I gotta say Byf, one thing I appreciate is how over the years you've added more inflection and changes in delivery when reading dialogue in lore tabs to convey the tone and character. It really makes the lore more immersive.
Rest in Power, Lance Reddick. You will live on forever in so many hearts and minds. Thank you.
Thank you Commander you'll be missed and we'll take the fight from here
The Titans of the Tower shall forever mourn our vanguard. Rest well Titan among Titans
Rest in peace, Commander.

Lance has been with me since I was 11. To say I’m deeply saddened by his loss is an understatement. Rest In Peace Commander, Per Audacia Ad Astra
Gather around my fellow guardians for we lay rest to our commander
Rest in Peace Commander, I may be a Hunter, but I serve in a way that will make you proud.

Rest in peace, Commander Riddick. We'll see each other starside.
So sad today. RIP Commander you will be missed
Our Commander may have left us, but his Light is what strides us forward, as Guardians. Even in our Darkest hour, the Light provides.

Thanks for the minute of silence in honour of Lance Reddick. I will miss him.

We will never forget you. Our commander, our guardian, our friend.
Rest in peace Lance
Rest in peace Commander Zavala.
RIP, Commander. Rest in the light.
I appreciate the moment of silence in reverence for our fallen commander.
Evening colors started playing on my base at the exact time the moment of silence started. Made me emotional. RIP Mr. Reddick
Love your content, man. Keep up the good work, Gaurdian!
From someone who makes such an impact with his words, that minute of silence was eloquent.
I'm betting not a single player skipped that moment of silence. Rest in peace Lance
