[quote]Many of these changes are under the hood and won’t affect your experience [b](except insofar as they help us deliver you more and better Destiny in the future)[/b], but some may result in neat improvements,[u] curious behavior differences[/u], or bugs. [b]This means that, on November 10, some places and things will feel a little like Sliders (only 90s kids will get this)[/b], so we’d like to give you a rundown of some of the changes and possible side effects.

While I am not one to normally say conspiracy theories without direct messaging...a bungie employee said the magic word "sliders" which is about the concept of the multiverse... and it is in the Vex lore they do pull from multiple timelines. Not other universes. So... that is definitely proof of the multiverse... which means multiple guardians are no longer confirmed dead except in ours.
Just stuck in different universes now as that is typically how the multiverse works. You die in one and move to the next or travel to the others. Which means we might be able to reverse impacts made by the darkness entities moving forward.
Thoughts?

I think you may just be misinterpreting the quote. You are focusing on the word Sliders (in reference obviously to the TV show) as if it has implications on the World of Destiny, with the Vex, alternate universes, etc.; however from my understanding of the article they are using [i]Sliders[/i] as a reference to the fact that many of the episodes had very similar worlds, similar characters, or similar actions in these alternate universes. The article is saying that behaviors of the GAME World (Video game's code/programing) will seem off (similar but not the same as before) which is what many episodes of [i]Sliders[/i] was about. Certain actions taken by say a Fallen, in game, may be different than how you would expect the Fallen to have acted before this change in code. Think about how you can run away from some enemies and they wont chase you out of a particular zone, maybe after this programming change they will chase you after you leave that zone. That would be a change in behavior that you would not expect (Note I was using this as an example and this probably wont be one of the curious behavior differences that the article is alluding to. Remember this section of the TWAB is talking about fixes and changes to the code of the game Destiny 2, not the story and lore side of the game we so love. So why would a reference to [i]Sliders[/i] have lore implications when it is discussing changes to the coding of the game? I hope I explained that the article in questions does not have any lore implications on the level that you previously thought it might have. I don't want people coming up with theories based on a misconstrued tech article that has no implications on the story side of Destiny. While multiverses/multi-timelines may be a thing in Destiny don't use this tech article as proof of such. Got to get your facts from relevant sources. I hope I didn't step on anyone's feet while clarifying the TWAB article in question. Keep up the theorizing. :)
