Transcripts

00:00

so guys we got to play it we got to play

00:02

the final shape a little bit early now

00:05

understand today's video is not going to

00:07

be containing really any spoilers we are

00:10

going to be showing a lot of the Exotics

00:12

because during the two days that we got

00:13

to play the final shape we pretty much

00:15

play with every single exotic that

00:17

includes the still hunt exotic sniper

00:19

rifle with golden gun which by the way

00:21

just to give you a small little tip

00:23

there it does synergized with Celestial

00:25

yes you can get one single golden gun

00:27

super shot off with it it's quite

00:29

amazing microcosm we got to play with

00:31

that as well that's the Exotic Trace

00:33

rifle and it's a kinetic Trace rifle and

00:35

we got the mess with kostov red death

00:37

and pretty much every exotic armor piece

00:39

on the Titan Hunter and warlock classes

00:41

we got to play with all of those I will

00:43

be doing individual reviews of those

00:46

Exotics because we tested those things

00:48

extensively today though I wanted to

00:51

focus more on the final shape the intro

00:54

Mission into the final shape but also

00:56

the big item which is the thing that

00:58

everyone's been asking how was Prismatic

01:01

Prismatic is the new subclass that we're

01:03

going to be getting in the final shape

01:04

and it is something that we didn't know

01:06

we were originally going to be getting

01:08

Strand and and both stasis were things

01:10

that were pitched very early on and

01:12

initially Prismatic though Not only was

01:15

it not revealed to us in the vok last

01:17

year but it is doing something that

01:19

Bungie has never done before it is

01:21

combining light and darkness abilities

01:24

all together now let me just say right

01:26

out the gate this is the most advanced

01:29

class Bungie has ever given us and it's

01:32

going to take a very long time to really

01:34

just wrap your head around it because it

01:35

took me and it's still taken me a long

01:37

time to wrap my head around it when you

01:39

have access to this many different

01:40

abilities you're looking at your subass

01:42

UI and you're like okay I've got an arc

01:45

subclass I'm rocking a void grenade I'm

01:48

rocking a strand melee when I slide my

01:51

abilities change because of whatever

01:52

aspect or maybe I'm charging of a trip

01:54

mine super Trip Mine grenade up on

01:56

Hunter you know I I've got the ability

01:57

to jolt Scorch sever freeze it messes

02:00

with you it messes with your head

02:01

because we've been so committed to these

02:03

particular Lanes think back to when D2

02:06

first launched and we had just these

02:08

little sub menus of what our subclass is

02:10

and that's where we played in you know

02:12

you got top tree bottom tree and middle

02:14

tree and Forsaken and then that was it

02:16

and then eventually we rolled into the

02:18

fragman aspect system but it was still

02:20

committed to one elemental type and

02:23

within those Elemental types you would

02:24

have your set of subclass verbs what's

02:27

so confusing with Prismatic is in your

02:29

mind you're like okay I'm rocking an arc

02:32

subass like my super is Arc but it's not

02:36

just jolt that you're going to be doing

02:38

here you have the ability to have access

02:41

to ignitions and Scorch and the ability

02:43

to weaken and freeze and Sever and so

02:47

when I say this is an advanced class it

02:49

really just kind of comes back to the

02:51

understanding of what we had before and

02:53

almost like unlearning those things and

02:56

going all right this is how Prismatic

02:58

works and once you wrap your your head

03:00

around that then you could start making

03:01

Headway into builds now I will say

03:04

initially at least in the campaign

03:06

similar to how strand was and even

03:08

stasis to some aspects you're going to

03:10

be relying on Prismatic to like do

03:13

damage to certain enemy types you'll see

03:14

these enemy types that have like the

03:16

rainbow look and you know you'll have to

03:18

go over there and get Transcendence to

03:19

do damage against those enemies and

03:21

again Transcendence is essentially this

03:23

bar underneath your super metab bar and

03:25

as you do damage with Darkness abilities

03:27

and also do damage with light abilities

03:29

each one of those meters fills up now if

03:31

you're doing damage with a kinetic

03:32

weapon you're going to actually be

03:33

splitting the the amount of ability or

03:35

the amount of regeneration on either

03:37

side but each one of those things fills

03:39

up and then when it fills up you have

03:40

the ability to press a button and you

03:42

are now Transcendence and in that moment

03:44

when you're Transcendence your weapon

03:45

damage goes up by 5% your ability

03:48

increases are off the channel like

03:49

there's just so many abilities you're

03:51

going to get to a point especially like

03:53

in week two when you have access to

03:54

Exotic class items where the amount of

03:56

abilities you have readily available you

03:58

almost don't have enough time to to put

04:01

that many inputs in there's just

04:02

especially in a Transcendence mode

04:04

there's just so much happening man it's

04:06

almost like a mini super it's almost

04:08

like you're rocking one and a half

04:10

supers now with Transcendence on top of

04:13

that you get access to the grenades the

04:15

Prismatic grenade which is going to be

04:17

specific to each class and those are

04:19

very potent as well and they too dip

04:21

into a variety of subclass verbs as it's

04:24

normally like a mixture of things

04:25

whether it's like suspend and jolt

04:28

together or or it's like shatter damage

04:30

and you know void damage together you

04:32

know so there there's a variety of

04:34

different subass verbs that they all

04:36

rely on and that's the thing about

04:38

Prismatic is just understanding that you

04:40

really are rocking a little bit of

04:42

everything but initially I would say

04:46

Prismatic was not that crazy to me like

04:48

it was like okay this is cool but I'm

04:51

not that Blown Away by it and that's

04:53

where I was like initially and when I

04:55

say initially I'm talking about in the

04:56

campaign I was concerned that Prismatic

04:59

was too much of a jack of all trades

05:01

build here's where things really blow up

05:04

the second day we were there we got

05:05

access to Exotic class items that's the

05:08

big selling point for prismatic is with

05:10

exotic class items you now have the

05:12

ability to merge two Exotics into one

05:15

now it's not the entire exotic you'll be

05:17

like the main benefit of that exotic and

05:20

that'll be the Bold Point that's within

05:22

that exotic class item but nonetheless

05:24

it's still two exotic class items into

05:26

one and that is what really elevated

05:29

Prismatic so initially when rocking

05:31

Prismatic which is my normal Exotics I

05:34

was like okay this is this is all right

05:36

and I'm not blown away by it then when I

05:38

got into the full builds when we had all

05:41

the aspects unlocked all the fragments

05:43

unlocked because they pretty much gave

05:44

us the whole Suite to play with in the

05:45

second day and all the Exotic class

05:48

items that's whenever it was like this

05:50

is power Fantasy on roids this is why

05:53

the raid is coming out 3 days after the

05:55

launch of the final shape and not week 2

05:57

had the raid come out in week 2 I'm not

05:59

saying we would have walked in there and

06:01

SLA the witness around but exotic class

06:03

items and a fully kitted out Prismatic

06:05

subass you're going to be putting out

06:07

some potent damage you're going to be

06:08

doing some nasty stuff and what's so

06:11

crazy is with all these different

06:12

variety of different aspects and

06:14

fragments and and also class items

06:16

there's going to be more build variety

06:19

than ever before and we know this

06:20

because we have like the build battle

06:22

series and I will say as a season goes

06:24

on all the builds kind of consolidate

06:26

into like maybe three like two or three

06:28

where everyone's just pretty much much

06:29

using the exact same thing there's some

06:31

people being creative but there's

06:33

obviously like your your bold Point

06:35

potent bills that rise to the top

06:36

Prismatic though because of how much

06:39

variety is it's going to take us a long

06:41

time to really just narrow down and like

06:44

what is the most potent now in terms of

06:46

what I I use we tried a variety of

06:48

different things some were more potent

06:50

than others there was one set of

06:51

abilities we did which included us

06:53

rocking dust fi grenades we were rocking

06:55

Spirit of renewal and that was you know

06:58

of course is getting getting a b with

06:59

the frost armor there and then the other

07:02

exotic that we were rocking with it was

07:04

actually from the the hunter exotic

07:06

helmets so Sera rnes facade so we had

07:09

Spirit of renewal and ser raknes facade

07:13

that one comes where you where you gain

07:14

woven Mel when activating a grapple

07:16

there's been some changes there and so

07:18

the change there is just simply by using

07:21

your grenade you get woven melt so if

07:23

you're understanding where I'm coming

07:25

with this guys with the single dust fill

07:27

grenade throw you have both woven male

07:30

and frost armor you essentially have

07:32

double the resist and so the things that

07:34

you can tank with that was was pretty

07:36

wild and I was just running in there and

07:38

like throwing it down and essentially

07:39

just letting things just beat the piss

07:40

out of me just to see like what I could

07:42

survive but I'm really impressed with

07:43

that and obviously like in day one

07:45

encounters when you have minus 20 Deltas

07:47

like that's going to make a big

07:48

difference another combination we rock

07:50

was actually the spirit of abiant leap

07:54

which of course takes advantage of

07:55

dinger's lash but we combine this with

07:58

the spirit of kep and ke's getting a

08:00

buff too and dude the amount of

08:03

abilities I had not even including

08:06

Transcendence was wild because

08:07

essentially I mean I was just popping

08:09

abilities over and over from my

08:11

concentration from getting the slam from

08:13

popping my barricade to uh suspending

08:16

everything in front of me from applying

08:18

the wave of solar going back and forth

08:20

doing the the solar and doing damage

08:22

with that like essentially I I ran into

08:24

a situation with that particular build

08:26

where I was like dude I have so many

08:28

abilities at my disp

08:30

I just I don't have enough time to get

08:32

all of these abilities out that's how

08:34

crazy it is and you know what's even

08:35

even crazier is like the moment you pop

08:38

Prismatic or Transcendence these things

08:40

amplify so it's like you're already

08:42

chewing out abilities left and right and

08:44

all over the place but then you hit

08:46

Transcendence and this thing this thing

08:48

amps up even more on top of giving you a

08:50

prismatic grenade now what I will say

08:52

about the Prismatic grenade that takes

08:54

presence over your base grenade so it's

08:56

not like you can use your Bas grenade

08:57

while using the moment you're in trans

08:59

in it's you're only using the Prismatic

09:01

grenade which you're going to want to

09:02

use anyways because it's potent but that

09:04

was the experience there with Prismatic

09:06

and we'll be doing like deep dives into

09:09

Prismatic uh this week but just to give

09:11

you an idea here initially when the

09:13

final shape launches Prismatic is a

09:15

means of getting through the campaign

09:17

kind of like strand is potent but not

09:19

nearly as potent as what you were you

09:21

were going to want it to be but then

09:23

week 2 rolls around the episode will

09:25

launch we get access to Exotic class

09:28

items and that's where things get insane

09:30

and again like I said earlier this is

09:32

why the raid is launching in week one

09:35

Buie knows this they know we would have

09:37

went in there and probably whooped up

09:39

the raid pretty quickly especially like

09:41

high tier players that know how to build

09:42

craft really really fast those guys when

09:44

they get their hands on exotic class

09:46

items and the full kit there Prismatic

09:48

it's going to be nasty so yeah lots of

09:50

great things from that let's kind of

09:52

circle back to the the final shape

09:54

itself I don't want to give you

09:55

narrative spoilers because the narrative

09:57

is really important to all of us I did

09:59

have an interview though with the with

10:01

the narrative team and one of the other

10:02

developers and you know I'm I'm trying

10:04

to get access to that audio and I think

10:06

we may just upload that audio from that

10:08

interview and that way you can kind of

10:09

get an idea of what I was trying to go

10:11

for but essentially in that interview

10:13

guys what I was really driving home to

10:16

and my questions was are we going to get

10:18

all the answers are we going to wrap up

10:20

the Lucin l wise now let me just say I

10:23

definitely didn't get nearly as many

10:25

answers as I had hoped a lot of it came

10:28

back to hey cross just play the campaign

10:31

you'll get more information and we did

10:32

get to play mission one we also got to

10:34

play Mission 5 I would say jumping

10:36

around from mission to Mission like that

10:37

we didn't get to play a bunch but I

10:39

think we also got to play a little bit

10:40

of mission 7 but one was like the

10:42

mission we played the most of and I

10:44

honestly was kind of like kept my

10:45

blinders on CU I didn't want to know too

10:47

much going into it because nothing jars

10:48

me more than like jumping around in a

10:50

campaign and things get kind of

10:52

fragmented so I like to kind of

10:54

experience things in its chronological

10:56

order because that's the best way to

10:58

experience it but I asked questions in

11:00

that interview and those questions

11:02

included are we going to learn more

11:04

about the three factions the factions

11:06

that make up the witness right what was

11:08

the witness's life like before the

11:10

witness and all I got pretty much from

11:13

that is just play the campaign and these

11:15

things will be answered now one question

11:17

we did ask and this was actually

11:20

answered for us right on the spot was

11:22

about the red subass I asked was the red

11:25

subass ever going to be a thing and

11:27

essentially what I asked was are we

11:28

going to get that third subass I would

11:30

assume it it will be paracausal

11:32

considering our other subclasses but

11:34

things are going to change right

11:36

obviously after we defeat the witness

11:37

how is that going to play a role how why

11:39

would we even need a third sub class

11:41

that wasn't really answered on whether

11:42

or not we're going to get a third sub

11:43

class what was answered was that the red

11:46

subass that we covered last year was not

11:49

real I don't know what that was they

11:50

just said that there is no red subass

11:53

being worked done they did not say that

11:54

a a new subass is not being worked done

11:57

or that we will not get the third dness

11:59

subass they just said from that

12:00

screenshot that so many of us ran with

12:03

last year uh on the red subass that is

12:05

in fact not real so yeah just just

12:08

wanted to bring some clarification on

12:10

that I'm happy that they answered that

12:11

for us though anyways as far as like the

12:13

final shape goes and the pel heart this

12:16

is an area that's going to be unlike any

12:19

area we have had and the reason why I

12:21

bring that up is because the the vibe of

12:23

it is just creepier and it's not

12:26

necessarily like day and night cycle and

12:29

not going to get into like mechanics or

12:30

whatever but there are points when

12:32

playing on the pill heart where you know

12:34

things are clear and you can see the sky

12:36

and everything it'll go from that to

12:38

suddenly you can't even see what's right

12:40

in front of you like that that's and it

12:42

almost reminds me like the dynamic

12:43

weather system they included in Europa

12:45

it's similar to that except for this is

12:47

just like more daunting you know it's

12:49

not just oh it's snow we're in a

12:51

blizzard it's like no you're literally

12:53

being enveloped by what you would equate

12:55

to the darkness and uh that that plays

12:58

into it mechanically but that's kind of

13:01

the experience on the pill heart you'll

13:03

go from this Garden atmosphere to some

13:05

of the most beautiful areas and then

13:07

you'll step off into what feels like

13:09

hell and I love that you could have both

13:12

of those type of biomes in in this one

13:15

destination now I did not get to

13:16

experience the entire destination we

13:18

mainly only got to play like within the

13:20

mission structure and then we got to

13:21

play one of the game modes on the on the

13:23

pill heart which is really cool but uh

13:25

within that new activity is when I got

13:28

to really experience you know that that

13:30

effect where suddenly clear skies you

13:32

see your enemies all around you and the

13:34

next thing you know it everything around

13:36

you you can't even see what what's

13:37

happening in front of you and it feels

13:39

like you're being wrapped in darkness so

13:41

that was really cool now finding the

13:43

dread we said in the past that the I

13:46

would say the most annoying enemy type

13:49

to face inside of Destiny is probably

13:50

the Scorn the scorn man that they just

13:53

the way they move the the fact that some

13:55

of them just go in complete immunity by

13:57

just like disappearing the reappearing

13:59

and then they can just kill you from

14:00

behind or the fact that they have this

14:01

like small circular Shields that can

14:03

somehow block literally everything is is

14:05

extremely annoying The Dread are equally

14:08

if not more annoying subjugators they're

14:11

real man they're like on the level of

14:13

tormentors their presence is known

14:15

they're big they literally take up the

14:17

battlefield originally when we were

14:19

first shown the subjugators we thought

14:21

they were just going to be like you know

14:22

like the side little ad that comes in

14:25

and Buffs up other enemies no that their

14:27

presence is no they are as potent as a

14:30

Tormentor especially considering they

14:32

can lean in on Strand and lean in on

14:34

stasis as far as the other dread enemies

14:37

the ones like the flying bats yes they

14:39

have that that shout that can

14:40

essentially like almost have like that

14:41

suppression effect on you which can

14:43

really really mess you up the guys that

14:45

got run around with that's got like the

14:46

double blades and then when you kill

14:48

them they have like the worm thing come

14:50

out of them that can explode they're

14:51

also really annoying and understand like

14:53

a lot of the gamepl that we're going

14:55

against them at is like at level stuff

14:57

maybe we're a little bit under but that

14:59

level stuff these enemy types are

15:01

annoying even at at level you can

15:02

imagine how annoying they will be on GMS

15:05

like grandmas nightfalls playing against

15:07

the dread it's going to be awful and I'm

15:10

here for it man I I'm looking very much

15:12

forward to facing those enemy Types on

15:14

the harder difficulties especially like

15:15

the legendary campaign when we really

15:17

get into that I think that's going to be

15:19

really really fun and we get we did get

15:20

to go against some of those enemies in

15:21

the legendary campaign and that was a

15:23

lot of fun but in terms of like the most

15:26

annoying enemy types to go against I

15:28

think they are now first place for me

15:29

used to be scoring like scoring and

15:31

taking were like right there neck and

15:32

neck but the dread are at the top for me

15:35

again I really really want to talk about

15:37

some of the boss encounters we had and I

15:40

I've got to go back through and check

15:41

the notes and see what we can talk about

15:42

this week and I think maybe at some

15:44

point this week we may have an entire

15:45

video that's like all right listen if

15:46

you don't mind spoilers you know here's

15:48

some more stuff right but some of the

15:50

boss encounters man are are incredible

15:53

especially when dealing with this new

15:54

enemy type but I love the the the Gomen

15:56

clature used for a lot of the dread you

15:58

know whether it's Weavers and that's

16:00

essentially what they are their weaving

16:02

Strand and so it's really cool that they

16:04

dip into those names for all of those

16:05

and now that we know the witness is

16:07

literally using the light to create the

16:09

dread uh really cool little lore detail

16:12

on their creation and of course why it

16:14

is they're so annoying now as far as

16:17

other abilities we got to use we did get

16:19

to use the new aspects we also got to

16:22

use the new supers now we're going to be

16:24

doing deep Dives on everything

16:26

throughout this week but if you've seen

16:28

the new supers so for the tie you've got

16:30

the ax that you throw one at a time uh

16:32

you throw three of them in total and

16:34

then you can pick up those three axes

16:35

now your teammates can pick up those

16:37

axes too and inside of pppp we went up

16:39

against an entire team of Titans and

16:41

dude once they got those supers going

16:43

they were so hard to beat because not

16:45

only were they using the supers to kill

16:47

us then they had three axes they can

16:49

come pick up individually and run around

16:51

and either kill us with the LI melee

16:54

attack or just outright just throw the

16:56

axe at us and kill us and so we were

16:58

literally getting killed on spawn by

17:01

these Titans the tit super is crazy not

17:03

just because of the damage it puts out

17:05

but because of its longevity the ability

17:07

to stretch the super beyond the super

17:09

itself right now I did use the aspect

17:11

the unbreakable aspect where you you

17:13

know you charge your grenade and then

17:14

you do like the explosion it's all right

17:17

I wasn't that Blown Away by it I mean

17:18

it's okay I think we need to mess around

17:20

with it a bit more we'll go back to the

17:22

footage and look at it a bit more I want

17:23

to say there was one moment I did use

17:25

Ursa furiosa and again I know this is a

17:27

this is a game death build so things are

17:29

subject to change but for the most part

17:30

sandbox wise everything here should be

17:33

the sandbox we're going to be playing

17:34

with in the final shape so things like

17:36

cerus and Colony I got to play with

17:39

those Exotics that got their Buffs and

17:40

yes we'll be talking about that more

17:42

this week now other aspects we got to

17:43

play with we got to play with the solar

17:45

Soul aspect on warlock that was really

17:48

good I enjoyed it the super itself was

17:50

also really really good I felt like I

17:52

was running around with like a souped up

17:54

sun singer from back in in D1 and as

17:57

what Bungie said they of course wanted

17:59

it to surpass that of sun singer back in

18:00

D1 obviously many people think of sun

18:03

singer as the self- reses Warlock and

18:05

that's what a lot of people want you're

18:07

not getting that here what you're

18:08

getting is a number of abilities that

18:10

are constantly up for you and so you can

18:12

just go to there and just start you know

18:14

laying waste to an entire team or group

18:16

of enemies it has crazy tracking

18:17

especially the the actual grenade effect

18:20

but you synergize it with your melee so

18:22

just think of it as all of your

18:24

abilities having infinite up time and

18:26

you're just literally emitting

18:27

everything left and right and it was

18:29

funny because I was pairing that with

18:31

Prismatic so I would go from

18:33

Transcendence using Transcendence

18:35

buffing all my ability spitting

18:37

everything out left and right ability up

18:39

time at full Max then right afterward I

18:41

would then jump to my super which then

18:43

contribute back to my Transcendence

18:45

there you see the loop here guidance or

18:46

you can go the other way you could do

18:48

you know super first and then

18:49

Transcendence second to contribute to

18:51

more Super and so there's a lot of

18:53

things here that is going to involve you

18:55

having very high up time with your

18:57

abilities and that was what I registered

18:59

there with warlocks was like you know

19:01

with the new super I had very very high

19:03

up time we also used it in PvP and it

19:04

was pretty nice in PvP now for Hunter

19:07

Hunter has the the new Ascension aspect

19:11

where you troll the the staff above your

19:13

head okay this this is really good I

19:15

think a lot of people are discounting it

19:16

yes we used it with the new exotic but

19:18

we also used it with other things like I

19:20

used it with ger Falcons and so every

19:22

time because of the G Falcon change

19:23

every time we got an ability kill we

19:25

would do with ger Falcons and stylist

19:27

executioner we would also go invisible

19:30

come out invisible give a volatile

19:31

rounds to avoid weapons he was really

19:33

really nice I really really like that

19:35

ability now as far as the super ghost

19:37

remember you throw the knife you

19:39

teleport to it you come out of it and

19:40

you're doing your it looks like the same

19:42

super animation from back in D1 when you

19:44

could just do spin the win on yourself

19:46

and kill everything in like AOE I would

19:48

argue and say three to four times larger

19:51

than the D1 version of this it's so

19:54

large that when you throw that knife

19:56

anywhere remotely close to an me when

19:59

you're coming out of and it's so instant

20:01

you're just going to kill whatever it is

20:03

I didn't necessarily do PVP gameplay of

20:05

this but I got to see or go up against

20:07

Hunters rocking this and you just could

20:10

not Escape that ability as far as PVE I

20:13

don't necessarily know if I'm going to

20:14

use this super for PVE it seems to be

20:16

more gauged at PVP for myself but those

20:19

were those new supers and aspects so

20:21

guys that's pretty much it I I know this

20:23

is a very general video and and so I

20:26

mainly wanted to put this together and

20:27

put this out that's kind of like a

20:29

warning because past this point we're

20:31

going to be doing deep dies on

20:32

everything we have a number of things

20:33

lined up exotic reviews for all the

20:36

exotic armor pieces the exotic weapons

20:38

the new supers the new aspects the

20:40

complete look at exactly what you're

20:42

looking at in your Prismatic kits all of

20:44

these things are going to be rolling out

20:45

throughout this week if you do not want

20:46

to see any of those things I would

20:48

honestly advise just not looking at

20:50

anyone's YouTube channel because it's

20:52

not just going to be me making this

20:53

content there are a number of other

20:55

content creators there that are also

20:56

going to be posting up this content so

20:57

look away but but I hope you're okay

20:59

with this video today being just more of

21:01

a general overview so far I I've been

21:03

really impressed with what we got to see

21:05

in the final shape I'm excited about

21:06

this expansion I think it's going to be

21:08

one of the best expansions and you know

21:10

I I'm not getting into cutscenes or into

21:13

narrative but let me just say

21:16

narratively there is a darker undertone

21:19

than what we've experienced in the past

21:21

and I love that Bungie is leaned into

21:24

that war and let me also just say Keith

21:26

kills it as the Vol that's it that's all

21:28

I'm going to say narratively if we put

21:29

out anything else that involves the

21:31

narrative or any other missions which we

21:33

shouldn't be able to do anything other

21:34

than mission one but if we put out

21:35

anything else I will honestly will'll

21:37

blur out the thumbnail I'll just slap a

21:39

big spoiler tag on it and we'll go from

21:42

there again my hope with this expansion

21:44

is that everything comes full circle we

21:46

can now answer all the questions that we

21:49

we have especially for my lore folks I

21:51

essentially want B in milin to be

21:54

completely satisfied with this expansion

21:56

from a lore perspective cuz based on

21:57

what we experienced and lightfall which

21:59

really it just didn't hit for us

22:01

narratively and so final shape is going

22:03

to have to really pick it up from there

22:05

I would say from my you know my

22:08

knowledge the lore and my experience

22:10

with the few missions I got to play it

22:12

didn't necessarily answer questions it

22:14

actually it brought more questions than

22:17

answers but again we didn't play the

22:19

entire campaign we don't know exactly

22:21

how everything's going to wrap up I'm

22:23

hoping that's going to be the case we of

22:24

course have episodes that are going to

22:25

roll over after that we have whatever

22:27

we're going to be unlock locking through

22:29

the raid so again I want this one to be

22:32

you know a good conclusion to the lon

22:33

dness Saga but then also bring in all

22:35

those other variables you know what

22:37

about the Vex what about the nine is

22:39

there anything going on with the wish

22:42

that orren or Crow unintentionally made

22:45

and so you know what's what's the

22:47

downside to that and so these are the

22:49

things that I hope get answered uh in

22:51

the final shaped campaign and also um in

22:53

the episodes themselves but more in the

22:55

campaign I don't necessarily want us to

22:57

be in a situation where it's like all

22:58

right here we go we've got a ton of

22:59

questions and let's just answer this

23:02

throughout an entirety of a year that

23:04

sucked I do believe that we are going to

23:06

get those answers though you know more

23:08

answers rather than questions and then

23:10

after that we'll have some lead UPS into

23:12

those other narrative points so guys

23:13

thank you so much for tuning in for this

23:15

video again after this point Exotics

23:18

aspects supers Prismatic all that stuff

23:20

is going to be rolling out so be looking

23:21

out for those Fells and ladies thank you

23:22

all for coming and watching and as

23:24

always slap that like button like your

23:25

mama told you right
