  • Destiny 2's Lore and Story for the "Into The Light" update might feature an invasion of The Last City and a return to the old Tower from Destiny 1! If it does this could have massive ramifications for the story of the Hive, The Black Fleet and the Guardians in general! If we defeat Xivu Arath here, we will deal a body blow to the Hive. If we lose the conflict we could lose the Last City entirely.

    If the Last City really is invaded by the Black Fleet, and Hive, and the Black Armory returns to do what it was founded for, then I’ll say it, Into the Light is what Lightfall should have been.

      The City’s defenses could improve in a big way if that happens: the Elksni’s engineering and tech skills. The Cabal’s legions, fleets, heavy artillery, and large weaponry. The Awoken’s mystical weapons, spell-craft, and special forces like the Queensguard, Corairs, spies, and Paladins that command their remaining fleets. If they officially join us, Neomuna’s advanced weapons, tech, and hackers could be a great help to any attacks from digital or incorporeal enemies. If Rasputin returns in the future as a Guardian, we could get his memories back, and slowly rebuild his assets that were lost. It could take many years, but there must be old plans of his wartime armaments and other assets somewhere in Sol. If the Warsats, its network, the combat frames, and his many armories and arsenals are restored through our efforts; the Warsats could repel future invasions of our strongholds. Rasputin himself, if he is reborn in the Light, may be a powerful force to combat the hive and worm gods.

One: Bungie wouldn't show this picture as the first piece of content for this update, if the picture does not represent the new content, they aren't stuipid. They are deliberatly showing us this exact picture. Two: the update is definetly using a lot of old content, and considering the last city was already invaded, the assets for this type of event have been made years ago, so Bungie could easily repurpose them for this update

    I feel that the initial pyramid ships came with the witness as basically a strike force to cause shock and awe. But what we didn't see was a large portion of ships held back for the moment to strike the final nail. I think this was all part of the plan and that the witness was going to try and wipe away all of the coalition. Or maybe the witness held back forces for if we got too close to entering the portal. We would then have to split forces making defense of our home harder and offense ever more so.

    This is strikingly close in concept to something I’ve had in my ideas docs for a long while now. Remains to be seen if they’ll sneak in some Vex shenanigans for extra flavor.
    This does, however, feel like it should have been the prelude to Season of Defiance which was sorely missing. In the actual season, we for some reason are rescuing captured citizens with no actual idea as to how they got there in the first place. A City invasion like what is shown in this teaser would have nipped that issue in the bud quite nicely, so I see how some might be disappointed that it is only happening now, in the eve of The Final Shape.

    There’s something incredible that we can call the destiny tower “our home” and have it actually feel like that. At least for me the tower does feel kind of like a home. Its genuinely a bit terrifying to see it under attack again. And while Red War had its issues seeing the City taken was something that really hit for me.

I think it would be extremely cool to have a public space at the base of the tower, down in the Last City where you can walk around and meet a whole bunch of new characters (or returning characters who have wandered away for a time), and then go out and explore the world outside the Last City and visit some of the buildings you see down there.

    Most interaction I've had with the people of the last city outside the tower was the live event leading up to Beyond Light. Since we got to jump from rooftop to rooftop, going down to the streets briefly and seeing actual people before heading back to the rooftops to look at the traveler.
    We haven't had anything like that since. Closest thing we had was the eliksni quarter during Splicer and Plunder, but that was solely with the house of light.
    I want to wander the streets at night, go visit like a park in the city. Make me have some sort of emotional attachment to the city I've worked for years to defend. Make me feel a lot of emotion while I'm down in the streets, fighting off the Hive and trying to save as many people as possible

    I want to keep my excitement and expectations on a realistic level but that image had me asking the same questions; the black fleet and hive attacking? Vanguard colored turrents? Armor that looks like the sets we started off wearing vanilla D2's opening mission? I would like to see maybe the first and last mission of the Red War come back as one of the memory replay missions so people can experience it; it would also be so funny to take on Gaul with Strand or Stasis.

    I also think this is an opportunity for redemption and regaining trust of the people.
    Particularly because of our use of the darkness has been giving the people of the last city mixed feelings about us as guardians.
    If this truly is going to happen, our goal not only would be to defend the last city, but to show the people that despite everything, we are still guardians, using an element of darkness won't change that.

    this could even raise the question what happens if we have to travel into the traveler before this conflict is over. the question of "if we can ever return?" would be overcome by the "what will we return too?" or "are we leaving behind a group that will be defeated without us" because whatever happens it has been shown that we wont know the current events outside the travler while we are away.

    I honestly don’t like that the most we’ve ever interacted with the last city has been when it’s an active combat zone or in literal ruins. It’s a bit wild that this is our home city and there’s never been a social area that’s inside it when it’s actually normal.

      There’s part of the city we can see in crucible maps, and there was that one temporary social space during the season before beyond light when the traveler reawakened, also I dunno if you’d count it but there’s also the Eliksni quarter we’ve seen a few different stages of.

    • @arryn786
      @arryn786 Місяць тому +2

      @@magnusthered9635 That’s what I’m saying the temporary one is pretty much the closest we’ve gotten and the eliksni area is like the first pseudo social space but it’s literal ruins of the Last city Botsa district repurposed to house fallen. We’ve never had a regular multicultural human filled building within the city, and even then we’ve literally never seen the central city where everything is highly developed.

    I think the pyramid tech is basically going to be spawners for different enemy types. I could see it having the cabal cloning tech. It woupd basically be the excuse why different enemy types and factions come in waves in s horde mode.
    If they are making or upgrading old city locations then maybe this is a sign that the Red War is returning? Would make sense to do both together

    Generally when Bungie has released key art like this for updates/expansions it's fairly representative of what is actually contained within, at least in terms of the setting, so I am confident there will be an invasion of some kind. That said, I am like 90% sure the repaired tower is a continuity error; it wouldn't be the first time we've seen the tower looking repaired when it should not be (Beyond Light's F2P promo material, Midtown crucible map). I'd love to be wrong because I do really miss it, but I'm not getting my hopes up when I have already so many times.

For example, at the end of Destiny 1, we’ve accomplished so much in 3 years conquering The Vault of Glass, Crota’s Brood, Skolas’s pirates, Oryx and the SIVA Crisis. We should have been more vigilant in our pursuit of guarding our home and the people inside the City.

    Also, I think Xivu will be our enemy here. She may have been banished, but she still has her worm. She must make war, or be consumed. I think she'll be at the forefront of the invasion, simply because she cannot afford not to be.

    I think a rougelike horde mode set in the city has high potential and probability. Thanks to D2 vanilla, a couple crucible maps and that one removed raid. There is a tonne of city assets to make maps from. Then there is like 100 different horde mode activities made throughout destiny to draw from and take code from.
    Combining all of that into a fun horde mode would be amazing. Would be a perfect chance to re-introduce old weapons and armour as well

The interaction with certain citizens could be patrols or just regular talking points. We need to see our knew allies, The Cabal and The Eleksni along side The Queens Gaurd, fighting against Hive. We need to see something that happens rarely.
