Eyes up, Guardians.
It’s finally time to see what Bungie has in store with The Final Shape, the conclusion to Destiny’s Light and Dark saga, as well as Season 22, which also launches today. Use this thread for all discussion related to the event.
The event will be live streamed at 9 AM PST (12 PM EST) today, August 22. The showcase is expected to be 40-45 minutes long.
You can watch the stream via YouTube and Twitch. You can also visit Bungie’s official showcase page for schedule information.
I’m surprisingly fine with no new subclass. Both times they’ve done that they’ve integrated the subclass into the story which ends up being shallow and a distraction from the actual story. The best expansion they’ve released, witch queen in my opinion, didn’t have a new subclass and that allowed them to focus on the story. Everyone loved the story and the atmosphere and I’m glad with this expansion they’re focusing on the story and not trying to shoehorn a new subclass into the last expansion.
Plus it makes sense that we’d get new light supers when we are literally inside the traveler, the being that gave us the light. It makes sense and another darkness subclass would clash with that story beat, I think.
I just hope the episodes are good.
Deepsight was supposed to be Strand
Yeah it was supposed to be, but it was decided in development to delay strand until lightfall and that lead to them not having to explain a ton of subclass stuff with deepsight. It’s not like they decided at the last minute to not have strand, they likely decided it pretty early in full production, post release of beyond light, which allowed them to focus on the story stuff.
