Byf and Shin: We're going to need to utilize both the light and dark to defeat the darkness for good. Zavala: Here's the top 30 reasons why you shouldn't use the darkness. #1: Don't.
How to be a dark guardian? Easy. 1: *Visit arach jalaal.* 2: *get the edge lord potion from arach jalaal.* 3: *get a black shader and call yourself a dredgen.* 4. *Use thorn.*
How to become a dark guardian 1.) do 5 heroic adventure on Mars 2.) do 10 lost sectors on Earth 3.) kill 75 cabal psions 4.) kill 35 hive acolytes 5.) complete the “remastered” strike “The Hollowed Lair” 6.) return to the Drifter for some text dialogue 7.) claim your new powers
I don't see why he would have, the Crucible has proven Light is a magnificent way to fight Light, the same probably applies to the Darkness, and considering so far the pyramid and apparently the creatures Drifter encountered were able to supress Light, it may end up being our only option. So dark powers it's the logical direction and the next step in our evolution as Guardians, not being of Light or Dark, but something more gray.
Guardians: "Becoming a Dark Guardian runs the risk of Shin Malphur turning your facemeat inside out at the bare minimum, so it should only be undertaken by one who knows the dangers involved and plans accordingly." Also Guardians: "Heehoo shadow spoopy"
That's probably because we just find taken annoying. Phalanx boop you, captains blind you even while your behind cover and psions duplicate themselves Thx
@@Storm1Trooper5 not sure about that. We've been dealing with cabal, vex, fallen and whatnot but Shin has been on a solo mission dispatching dark guardians by himself, which I think is way more powerful than enemies we've fought so far because they're directly tied to darkness. In malfeasance quest drifter also said in order to defeat Shin he's gonna need a crew of multiple guardians (including us in it) equipped with malfeasance to gang up and teamshot him, implying we stand no chance 1v1 against him.
We cleansed the original thorn, we have killed Oryx the taken king, we killed Xol the worm god, we have beaten the Sol Divisev in their Garden of Salvation who worship darkness, when the devils splicers used SIVA we destroyed them nearly utterly, we avenged Cayde 6 and killed all but the so far unkillable of the Scorn Barons, as Riven of One Thousand voices was taken we beat her too, we bear the title of God Slayer with truth and even Shin Malphur admits that we are his better, we don't just kill grunts, we've slain Gods of Dakness, and Shin would be a pice of cake compared to our other victories and you say that dark guardians are more powerful than any enemies we've fought so far? Dark Guardians would've whimpered as our light cleansed the original thorn or slayed oryx we have bested gods, again, Shin is weak and frail compared to our light.
“People with the Dredgen title to an extent learned how to embrace the darkness” You mean play a lot of gambit and find a way to like? Because that isn’t possible
@@samuelbishop3316 but that's exactly what the Thorn, malfeasance, last word, and Lumina tell us to do. To cleanse and manipulate the powers of darkness because it's our best chance of beating the darkness
------ Spinfoil theory ------ The horrifying thing about the Kentarch-3 is that in the Garden of Salvation raid, there are three major figures. A Minotaur, being consumed by the Consecrated mind, the Consecrated mind, and the Sanctified mind. I believe these three represent the Kentarch-3, the Minotaur being Lisbon-13. He completely rejected the dark power, so he has no power over the Consecrated mind, likely being Rakana. She acknowledged that it was powerful and needed to be used, but was still defeated easily. And the Sanctified mind being Yardarm-4. He accepted the power, letting it consume him, we put him at a balance with the motes of light and tainted light.
Modil 1103, well actually Yadarm-4 did not embrace the darkness in equality with the light, and was not balanced. Also, the Consecrated mind is drawn to the pure voltaic energy relay, not the “tainted” dark motes. Everything can be interpreted symbolic features, but I think you over-thought it.
That doesn't makes sense. Lisbon hid the Divinity after winning and then he probably killed himself, seeing the lore tab of the raid bow he probably ended his life after killing his friends.
I always call it Light Level too lol, but in reality in Destiny 2 we have a power level, not a light level like it was on D1. And makes sense though, even from the very start when we recovered our powers it was from a tainted shard of the traveler, so we might be closer to darkness powers than what people realize.
That would be an interesting way to reset the game. If you choose the Darkness you get set to PL 0 and you have to follow an enemy faction that is actually evil (Fallen aren’t evil, they just hate Guardians because the Traveler chose humans after yeeting itself away from them) and for each milestone you complete, you gain Darkness Levels.
*"I thought I saw a way. that maybe we could win. that.. maybe.. we could survive. But once you step into those shadows, its so very hard to walk in the light".*
Can you imagine using a Super on some Taken, and with every Taken you kill, you watch them warp into YOU instead of yeeting out like they always do? It could be an Old Republic style deal where you have a choice of how much Darkness you take in comparison to the Light.
Warlock Anour: NO!! YOU CAN'T JUST USE THE DARKNESS WE'RE PURE GUARDIANS OF THE LIGHT THIS IS AGAINST ALL THATS STABLE AND HOLY. Us: haha darkness go pew pew

When we see “ourselves” at the end of season of the undying...it could be us from the future. Sundial (time traveling machine) Our dark-selves uses the sundial to go back and motivate us that the darkness is inevitable and you should just let darkness consume you
Honestly when I watch these I watch these to learn but I end up not remembering anything because of the gameplay (I’m sorry if that sounds mean) KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
I really hope that we get to see Shin Malphur soon. Now that Saint-14 is around I feel like he's the most talked about character that we've yet to see. Would be awesome if the next season revolved around him. Would be a good chance to make the Drifter story relevant again, as well as potentially (finally) giving some payoff to the Vanguard/Drifter allegiance quest.
I love these, you make the game feel like stuff is happening in real time, i dont know if your the only person to do these but dmi wouldn't go to any1 else for this informational lore, you tell the story so well
I'm skeptical of potential Darkess-based subclasses; that said, I've always really wanted some, and the idea of being able to go Dark is one that excites me. I can only LARP so much with my Scatterhorn gear and Gambit shaders, damnit! Personally, I'd want a Dark Warlock to be similar to a Hive Wizard - floaty, possibly able to summon shadow allies, of blanket areas in suppressing dark smoke, etc. That would be fun. Regardless, though, I'd take anything that's offered.
I wish they would cause a split in the community like choosing a side. We had an illusion of choice with the gambler and Zavala, I hope they give us a choice. We don’t get revealed who is dark or not, it’s just a subtle thing that will effect the future.
If we get darkness powers etc, id like to have the option to use both the light and the dark, but still fight for the side of the light. Kinda like how some Jedi tapped into the dark side a little bit.
I think this is how it will play out, i can't see Bungie giving us the option of joining the pyramids or different factions that radically change the position of the players in the universe tbh, that would require a ton of work not only on PvP of light guards vs dark guardians, but also factions in PvE, what factions would a dark guardian face? what would a light guardian fight?. Is too messy, and it really doesn't make much sense either for our Guardian to kind of give up on the City and humanity after 5+ years lol. So we're definetly going to get our Dark powers but it will be like Shin said, we will control them with our light in order to fight dark with dark and protect humanity.
@Byf I’ve been ruminating on a couple different thoughts. Both revolving around SIVA. Since we’ve had clear indications that it will return with the ornaments on sale and the Season pasa tan having SIVA coming off the bottom of the banner that displays our season rank. 1) That SIVA will be used to the stop the Almighty threat. 2) What if Rasputin uses SIVA to generate an anthropomorphic body of himself - kind Ultron-esque - and becomes a vendor and more of an ally that fights literally along side us against the darkness. He makes constructs and used Exos in the past. What if he manifests in a “body” of his own design, with SIVA as yet another weapon to yield against the Darkness?
I saw someone come up with a similar theory to 2 but said body for Rasputin being Felwinter's exo body. The idea being Felwinter had a special body built with key features for Rasputin and that we'll recover the body so Rasputin can implant part of himself into it, then he'll take our Season 10 ornament(the fancy sword) which will be revealed to be one of his super weapons.
I find the idea of using the Darkness appealing, and it seems we'll go that way, but the idea of "going Dark" so to say, doesn't. I find that idea... Incredibly dumb. The only other words I can use there involve the synonyms to that word. Like, if the Darkness offered us shit during the Golden Age instead of outright attacking us, then fine. Right now, however, our survival hinges on its destruction. I love the Pyramids, but lore-wise I cannot endorse that course of action.
@@ArchivalMind If so, the only question is which Psions. Cabal's Scribes, perhaps? He is intending to give up everything to the Darkness. Maybe we might trick him into thinking, through his absurd mental musings, that we agree, and having the Psion Scribes help infuse us with the Darkness would help us expedite its arrival, but in fact, be our chance to fight against it.
@@Ae_Dan_HD I think the revelation that Dark vs Dark can work should come after some time facing them with just the Light. Give us a sense of hopelessness with our powers still intact.
@@ArchivalMind True. Maybe something only considered after a devastating loss, or a long string of lost fronts. It would be more dramatic if it is used as a last resort, and logically so.
As always you have a way with words love your content I watch your vids to educate myself on the game to better understand my enemies and to use that what I've learnt against them
*I had an idea long ago since i think Vanilla that would have been interesting.* *Imagine becoming infused with the Darkness granting you new powers and abilities classes midway through a future expansion story while facing the Darkness on their own rules.* *However doing so would have severe consequences, the gifts from the traveler and him viewing you as a guardian is no longer apparent and your ghost is sacrificed.* *You are a Dark guardian, you protect humanity all the same but its by your own morals and will.* *You follow the vanguard, the tower etc but at any time you can simply go rogue if you so deemed but that's within the confines of your morality.. Basically the game will challenge you as to what type of guardian you are and it'll have implementations on the story and how you approach it.* *Are you a Rogue, Follower or lone wolf.* *Each decision will have different cutscenes, missions, dialogue and encounters based on the decision you choose.* *Same foes just different confrontations.* *Choosing to be a dark guardian in game will be permanent for that specific character, so to infuse is to sacrifice, to sacrifice is to bestow, to bestow is to be reborn in darkness.* *New gifts that you can use to reap enemies or bend to your will.* *All this will be possible due to a Darkness ally.* *And Destiny 3 could be about some dark guardians going rogue and mad with power due to tampering with the darkness, some becoming frighteningly powerful.* *And lastly.. the rumors of a hidden Dark Guardian leader behind the walls.* *My idea for this guardian is he's 7ft due to self maniplulation & augmentation making him a force presence to be reckoned with.* *He's versatile, strong, vicious, calculative, wields hybrid tech.* *His followers are self augmented as well but of hive and vex tech upgraded into weapons we never seen before.* *(new weapons to uncover) i would title them as scavenger, augmented & prime variants.* *Uncommon weapons would be just as unique as legendarys and can be upgraded through questing.* *The story could finally have us venture out beyond the walls within the fractured cities of the golden age, and the cities beneath the traveler to uncover the rumors of these guardians.* *The tone of the story should be mystery, adventure, dark and thrilling since this isnt ordinary power to be trilfed with.* *But to purge from this world and ending up in the wrong hands.* *Honestly i want a dark thriller atmosphere when the Darkness arrives, everything shrowded in darkness as we fight them.* Hell name it The Dark Expansion.
Nope, our guardian created lumina and is a established character in the lore, its doesn't makes any sense to become evil or betray humanity no matter how edgu people want to be.
Ima just point out how sick it's gonna be to wield darkness while staying in the light, Ive always been a fan of the dark side. But still those pyramids are scary!
I’ve been fascinated by the Dredgens and the darkness since D1 and I really hope that Bungie is taking us in a direction that will have us choose what side to be on/what power to use. Maybe it’ll have something to do with the Allegiance Quest? All and all, exciting and interesting stuff.
I'm thinking these "darkness" powers will be true lifesteal, consuming their souls and stuff. And it'll be optional. Guarantee it. I hope it's like the drifter quest, where if you choose to wield the dark, itll be irreversible. Probably causing the vanguard to break?
Exo Stranger is Elsie Bray, Ana's sister. She probably went Exo to hide information on Project IKELOS from someone else in Clovis-Bray, but beyond that, there's a lot more in between that I'm curious about.
If we are actually allowed to wield the darkness (ie new abilities or classes) that might be the one thing to get many former players to come back. But that doesnt seem likely any time soon
Shin Malphur: makes a group of guardians that embrace the dark Me: makes thorn and touches it for 0.0000000000000000001 seconds Shin Malphur: I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This might be asking for too much but I hope you get to choose between dark and light. You either get a new super of pure light or a new darkness super depending on what you pick.
Yeah not to be a spoil sport but anyone in this comment section that thinks there is going to be a hard, binary choice of darkness and light guardians is setting themselves up for dissapointment. Both from a lore and meta game design perspective it's far more likely that our characters ability to use the darkness will just be another subclass icon in the upper left of the equipment screen along the three light based ones today. And just like how we can casually jump back and forth between the elements we will be able to casually jump back and forth between using that darkness based subclass and any of the three light based ones.
This is exactly the reason I've never run a single round of Gambit, because it's much more than a part of the game, it is a question about whether we are willing to strip away ourselves, our light for the sake of power. Something which that Aunor guy even taunts us for in his initial 5 transcripts. An event/season where the Dark Guardians (Drifter's Dredgens, etc) fight against Light Guardians because they have dabbled a bit too much in the Darkness and now it controls them would be KEWL AF!
If they add Darkness subclasses, I want the choice between those and other Light-subclasses. I don't want any of my guardians to have even a little darkness in them.
Since the new darkness subclass is clearly just going to be another subclass option just like the three ones we have now if ya wanna play as a guardian that never uses the darkness just never equip the new darkness subclass *shrugs*
To come back to this video with the release of Stasis, it’s clear that no Guardian at Bungie heard Byf’s warning. Now we have people flinging Darkness around like X-Games-style Frisbees

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!
I could see the “darkness” using Oryx’s dreadnaught in the next DLC.... just a random thought of mine, it’s still sitting out towards Saturn right?
Tyree Steele yup it’s still there
Tyree Steele Why do we always leave ships in space like we left the almighty sitting there and the dreadnaught being all alone
gigumaku 1 hell idk 😂 I guess the vanguard don’t give a damn 🤷🏻♂️
Tyree Steele Which is a whole reason to pledge to the drifter
I really hope that we get to see Shin Malphur soon. Now that Saint-14 is around I feel like he's the most talked about character that we've yet to see. Would be awesome if the next season revolved around him. Would be a good chance to make the Drifter story relevant again, as well as potentially (finally) giving some payoff to the Vanguard/Drifter allegiance quest.

Instructions unclear, Tess is now in my house. Send help.
I love these, you make the game feel like stuff is happening in real time, i dont know if your the only person to do these but dmi wouldn't go to any1 else for this informational lore, you tell the story so well
I'm skeptical of potential Darkess-based subclasses; that said, I've always really wanted some, and the idea of being able to go Dark is one that excites me. I can only LARP so much with my Scatterhorn gear and Gambit shaders, damnit!
Personally, I'd want a Dark Warlock to be similar to a Hive Wizard - floaty, possibly able to summon shadow allies, of blanket areas in suppressing dark smoke, etc. That would be fun. Regardless, though, I'd take anything that's offered.
I wish they would cause a split in the community like choosing a side. We had an illusion of choice with the gambler and Zavala, I hope they give us a choice. We don’t get revealed who is dark or not, it’s just a subtle thing that will effect the future.
If we get darkness powers etc, id like to have the option to use both the light and the dark, but still fight for the side of the light. Kinda like how some Jedi tapped into the dark side a little bit.
*Mace Windu joins the chat*
*xXQui_Gon_JinXx has joined the chat*
I think this is how it will play out, i can't see Bungie giving us the option of joining the pyramids or different factions that radically change the position of the players in the universe tbh, that would require a ton of work not only on PvP of light guards vs dark guardians, but also factions in PvE, what factions would a dark guardian face? what would a light guardian fight?. Is too messy, and it really doesn't make much sense either for our Guardian to kind of give up on the City and humanity after 5+ years lol. So we're definetly going to get our Dark powers but it will be like Shin said, we will control them with our light in order to fight dark with dark and protect humanity.
*anakin skywalker joi- wait he fell to the dark side*
Comrade Weeble He also fell in lava, should have not switched sides
Just saw the tweet for this video as some friends and I were discussing the concept of darkness wielding guardians. Thanks for a great video

Cenk Dinc TIFU by becoming a Dark Guardian.
Recently picked up Destiny 2 on PC after a year of not playing on console and dayum looks like picked the right time to come back lore wise
I’d actually like to see a dark guardian and maybe become one
thinking about that since The dark below dlc
Shin's gonna get ya.
I'd want to play as a dark eliksni!
You are single handedly keeping destiny alive
@Byf I’ve been ruminating on a couple different thoughts. Both revolving around SIVA. Since we’ve had clear indications that it will return with the ornaments on sale and the Season pasa tan having SIVA coming off the bottom of the banner that displays our season rank.
1) That SIVA will be used to the stop the Almighty threat.
2) What if Rasputin uses SIVA to generate an anthropomorphic body of himself - kind Ultron-esque - and becomes a vendor and more of an ally that fights literally along side us against the darkness. He makes constructs and used Exos in the past. What if he manifests in a “body” of his own design, with SIVA as yet another weapon to yield against the Darkness?
I saw someone come up with a similar theory to 2 but said body for Rasputin being Felwinter's exo body.
The idea being Felwinter had a special body built with key features for Rasputin and that we'll recover the body so Rasputin can implant part of himself into it, then he'll take our Season 10 ornament(the fancy sword) which will be revealed to be one of his super weapons.

I find the idea of using the Darkness appealing, and it seems we'll go that way, but the idea of "going Dark" so to say, doesn't.
I find that idea... Incredibly dumb. The only other words I can use there involve the synonyms to that word. Like, if the Darkness offered us shit during the Golden Age instead of outright attacking us, then fine. Right now, however, our survival hinges on its destruction. I love the Pyramids, but lore-wise I cannot endorse that course of action.
I think we'll need to take some of the Darkness' power and twist it into a less indifferent form, forging a balance between our Light and Dark powers.
@@Ae_Dan_HD I propose Psions to tap into Darkness and make its infusion less painful.
@@ArchivalMind If so, the only question is which Psions. Cabal's Scribes, perhaps? He is intending to give up everything to the Darkness. Maybe we might trick him into thinking, through his absurd mental musings, that we agree, and having the Psion Scribes help infuse us with the Darkness would help us expedite its arrival, but in fact, be our chance to fight against it.
@@Ae_Dan_HD I think the revelation that Dark vs Dark can work should come after some time facing them with just the Light. Give us a sense of hopelessness with our powers still intact.
@@ArchivalMind True. Maybe something only considered after a devastating loss, or a long string of lost fronts. It would be more dramatic if it is used as a last resort, and logically so.
That last Bridge of folly part was so clutch
Can we have a lore video that’s just 20 minutes of byf screaming about the pyramids?
Forgot there was any content to be had in the current D2 season, thanks for reminding me it even exists :D
Finally
The bungie overlords have gifted us this twisted gift
As always you have a way with words love your content I watch your vids to educate myself on the game to better understand my enemies and to use that what I've learnt against them

Well, I am already lost, aren't I.
Jorge González-Páramo mmm yes the cursed images I’ve been saving up will be of good use now
*I had an idea long ago since i think Vanilla that would have been interesting.* *Imagine becoming infused with the Darkness granting you new powers and abilities classes midway through a future expansion story while facing the Darkness on their own rules.*
*However doing so would have severe consequences, the gifts from the traveler and him viewing you as a guardian is no longer apparent and your ghost is sacrificed.* *You are a Dark guardian, you protect humanity all the same but its by your own morals and will.* *You follow the vanguard, the tower etc but at any time you can simply go rogue if you so deemed but that's within the confines of your morality.. Basically the game will challenge you as to what type of guardian you are and it'll have implementations on the story and how you approach it.* *Are you a Rogue, Follower or lone wolf.* *Each decision will have different cutscenes, missions, dialogue and encounters based on the decision you choose.* *Same foes just different confrontations.*
*Choosing to be a dark guardian in game will be permanent for that specific character, so to infuse is to sacrifice, to sacrifice is to bestow, to bestow is to be reborn in darkness.* *New gifts that you can use to reap enemies or bend to your will.* *All this will be possible due to a Darkness ally.*
*And Destiny 3 could be about some dark guardians going rogue and mad with power due to tampering with the darkness, some becoming frighteningly powerful.* *And lastly.. the rumors of a hidden Dark Guardian leader behind the walls.* *My idea for this guardian is he's 7ft due to self maniplulation & augmentation making him a force presence to be reckoned with.* *He's versatile, strong, vicious, calculative, wields hybrid tech.* *His followers are self augmented as well but of hive and vex tech upgraded into weapons we never seen before.*
*(new weapons to uncover) i would title them as scavenger, augmented & prime variants.* *Uncommon weapons would be just as unique as legendarys and can be upgraded through questing.*
*The story could finally have us venture out beyond the walls within the fractured cities of the golden age, and the cities beneath the traveler to uncover the rumors of these guardians.* *The tone of the story should be mystery, adventure, dark and thrilling since this isnt ordinary power to be trilfed with.* *But to purge from this world and ending up in the wrong hands.*
*Honestly i want a dark thriller atmosphere when the Darkness arrives, everything shrowded in darkness as we fight them.* Hell name it The Dark Expansion.
It would be as edgy as when ubisoft added vortiger into for honor
The Darkness is gonna be here sooner that we expect, but remember Guardians, Night is darkest just before the day.
Nah it'll take a few years before they load into the tower so we're good till 2043
ngl Byf, you are the ONLY reason Im still in the Destiny community right now
Pretty sure that we are going to see dredgen yors everywhere after darkness arrives:D
Amirreza 51693 not for long friend
Nope, our guardian created lumina and is a established character in the lore, its doesn't makes any sense to become evil or betray humanity no matter how edgu people want to be.
Congrats on the 777k subs!
Ima just point out how sick it's gonna be to wield darkness while staying in the light, Ive always been a fan of the dark side. But still those pyramids are scary!
Zavala: No, you can't just use our own enemy as a source of power!!!
Guardians: Hehe, darkness go *darkness theme*
If this is the leg they need to release to make Destiny 3, where you get to pick to start as a Dark or Light Guardian would be great.
I’ve been fascinated by the Dredgens and the darkness since D1 and I really hope that Bungie is taking us in a direction that will have us choose what side to be on/what power to use. Maybe it’ll have something to do with the Allegiance Quest? All and all, exciting and interesting stuff.
Shin: *notices Guardian being corrupted*
Corrupted Guardian: "Why do I hear Bossmusic?"
Love your content byf !!! Don’t stop !!
You become a Dark Guardian by installing cheats for Trials. The powers are mighty and there are no risks apparently lol
With the new dlcs coming in the next couple of years, this will be easy.
I'm thinking these "darkness" powers will be true lifesteal, consuming their souls and stuff.
And it'll be optional. Guarantee it.
I hope it's like the drifter quest, where if you choose to wield the dark, itll be irreversible.
Probably causing the vanguard to break?
I wouldn't care about the vanguard to break, not since Cayde died
Possibly even using the darkness to bring back cayde, as there is that untapped potential. But it would have dire consequences
Nothing like some juicy lore to make me wanna play D2
Does anyone remember the comment. “I wasn’t forged in the light” maybe we will finally find out where the exo stranger came from!!
Exo Stranger is Elsie Bray, Ana's sister. She probably went Exo to hide information on Project IKELOS from someone else in Clovis-Bray, but beyond that, there's a lot more in between that I'm curious about.
Thats literally just her tellin you that she isn't a guardian, there isn't any grand mystery to that statement.
Good upload dude! Stay true to the grind & you'll get big on RUclips quickly!
Why is everyone panicking about the pyramids if we all aim 1k at we’ll be fine
We dont have enough though some ppl are still doing it
gigumaku 1 have 57 completions and I’m still waiting
I taped my snail to the ceiling fan Wow I thought my RnG is bad
If we are actually allowed to wield the darkness (ie new abilities or classes) that might be the one thing to get many former players to come back. But that doesnt seem likely any time soon
Shin Malphur: makes a group of guardians that embrace the dark
Me: makes thorn and touches it for 0.0000000000000000001 seconds
Shin Malphur: I WILL FIND YOU AND I WILL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This might be asking for too much but I hope you get to choose between dark and light. You either get a new super of pure light or a new darkness super depending on what you pick.
Yeah not to be a spoil sport but anyone in this comment section that thinks there is going to be a hard, binary choice of darkness and light guardians is setting themselves up for dissapointment.
Both from a lore and meta game design perspective it's far more likely that our characters ability to use the darkness will just be another subclass icon in the upper left of the equipment screen along the three light based ones today.
And just like how we can casually jump back and forth between the elements we will be able to casually jump back and forth between using that darkness based subclass and any of the three light based ones.
Keep up the good work, brother.
I think its just something for edge lords and emos
@ We haven't seen inside the Traveler though.
This is exactly the reason I've never run a single round of Gambit, because it's much more than a part of the game, it is a question about whether we are willing to strip away ourselves, our light for the sake of power. Something which that Aunor guy even taunts us for in his initial 5 transcripts.
An event/season where the Dark Guardians (Drifter's Dredgens, etc) fight against Light Guardians because they have dabbled a bit too much in the Darkness and now it controls them would be KEWL AF!
I love your videos and I just ordered a switch so thank you for these recent videos
I can use this to go forward with my plans
CONGRATS ON GETTING 777K SUBS. (BUNGIE IS PROUD)
Great video as always Byf!
Talking about the guardians that went to find the divinity, it reminds me of the novel Lord of the Flies. Loosely
If only we could become Dark guardians
Embrace the Darkness 🖤🌠💥
If they add Darkness subclasses, I want the choice between those and other Light-subclasses. I don't want any of my guardians to have even a little darkness in them.
Since the new darkness subclass is clearly just going to be another subclass option just like the three ones we have now if ya wanna play as a guardian that never uses the darkness just never equip the new darkness subclass *shrugs*
@@Awoken_Remmuz The choice between something I don't like and nothing is not really a choice. So not really satisfying for me.^^
I have to say before I watch this video. Worth it
nice upload ;) i was recommended this video by RUclips
To come back to this video with the release of Stasis, it’s clear that no Guardian at Bungie heard Byf’s warning. Now we have people flinging Darkness around like X-Games-style Frisbees
Nice to see those triple sevens in the sub-count. Keep on going Byf!
This is crazy exciting. This season overall has been below average but by the looks of things, next season is going to be awesome
