  • The siva ship Rasputin sent out is 9 billion miles away and the darkness is comming so the triangle ships might come across that ship before anything

  • I say that if SIVA does make a return, it would be in another expansion that features Rasputin. Cause Rasputin is the one who created SIVA in the first place. Whether it would be good or bad....that's hard to say.

    • Maybe the house of kings will rise with a new kell and take over siva. We haven’t seen them hardly anywhere in the solar system, not even a kell. That would be interesting to see them make a return with siva again.

        What if SIVA wasn’t a re-skin this time? Because seriously, it’s boring to fight enemies with THE SAME ABILITIES. Like, there was a MAJOR SIVA outbreak somewhere ,let’s just say on Nessus, (because they could just say the exodus black was carrying a prototype or something even though thatll just be lazy writing. And the SIVA, lore wise, likes machinery, and Nessus is essentially a giant vex machine. So it wouldn’t be hard for SIVA to take that machinery and make something new. And there could also be an animation where SIVA could infect some fallen or vex. A. This would be pretty terrifying lore wise because SIVA can now create physical armies and not just swarm. B. We’d get a pretty cool Vex and fallen variant. (I’m fine with a re-skin AS LONG AS THERE IS A NEW ENEMY TO SHOOT WITH IT.) C. This would also show JUST HOW dangerous SIVA really is. Not only does it create physical SIVA armies, but it can infect other enemies too. D. We can get a map similar to the dreaming city (function wise) where every, let’s say four weeks, the map changes. Week 1; SIVA is stable, minor outbreaks. Week 2: SIVA breaks quarantine. Week 3: Fix the quarantine. Week 4: The attempt to quarantine SIVA has failed, destroy the source at all costs. (A gamer can dream) although the last one wouldn’t happen for a lot of reasons. (Sorry for the long post.) Again. This is just my opinion. People are allowed to disagree with me. Too bad Bungie isn’t gonna make any BIG maps apparently

          • Considering all of the Fallen lore to date... I'm pretty sure they are more interested in the Hive area of expertise at this point. They are still using humanity remnants too, but for the most part? They aren't going nuts with Cabal Tech. A lot of the current Skorn capabilities too is a manifestation of void based weaponry similar to the hive. I'll bet we finally get a showdown like the mission on Titan for a boss who figures out how to make an ascendent realm power their own...

              • Siva and rise of iron was a filler dlc meant to cover for delay of D2. Doubt they wanna return to that ever again. Instead they’re going to continue the closest thing to a story arc they have, the war with the Hive gods. They have been the big bad for a long time. After we’ve slain the last of em, and if we don’t immediately jump to the black ship enemies, Vex will be the next big bad.

                So, I figured out how we can make a logical/emotional connection to SIVA. So. Here is a simplified version of the story of rise of iron. Saladin and the player are trying to stop the fallen. SIVA is making that difficult. That’s way too simple right? So. With some help from all of you guys and your thoughts on the matter. I was able to come up with something. So. People don’t like the repetitive actions that the series is taking. Things like re-skins and recycling old content is becoming more common rather than just implementing new content. So. We are faced with two problems. An antagonist that we can’t connect with and recycled content. So. I’ll start with the narrative and then I’ll cover the new content stuff later. So. We have already established that the SIVA outbreak should be on Nessus, that there should be NEW enemies to fight, and not just re-skins. So someone (Tomjackson21) suggested that SIVA also infect the vex network because it’s on Nessus. So. The more of the vex network it infects, the smarter it gets. And eventually, it’ll just have the goal of wanting to live. It doesn’t want to HURT anybody, it just wants to live. But by letting it live, you’re putting the entire solar system at risk. So throughout your adventure to destroy SIVA, it will constantly plea and beg you to not destroy it, to let it live. There will always be a voice in your head that tells you this is wrong, but you keep going anyways. I’m not done yet. Please comment. And help me with the rest.

                • i see myself returning this half eaten Scharma i got back to the Kebab Place down the road, i mean it has been on my Desk for 2 Days and when i just bit into it, it made a noise and crawled off to the side. earlier this morning i found it drinking water that is dripping from the hole in my roof where a glowing rock fell through last week. no one has been able to lift it. i must say, it works magic for my aches and pains. i rest my feet on it daily. i was never much of a runner but this morning i ran to work in like 21 minutes and i live almost 48Miles away.

                  (I FIGURED OUT HOW SIVA CAN WORK, FORGET THIS POST.) As much as SIVA was..well underwhelming in the first game, I think if executed properly, they can make it terrifying. The IDEA of it is a pretty interesting concept. It’s not like any other antagonist we’ve had. It’s capable of complex thought, but a simplistic form of it. Its supposed to be an enemy that can adapt and evolve in a simplistic manner. Compare it to the Flood for example. To those of you who don’t know, the flood is a parasite from the halo games that has a smart hive mind when enough biomass is collected. That’s a simple way of putting it. Of course, they are two VASTLY different things. They have the same idea. Consume, spread, rinse, repeat. As humans, we look for something to CONNECT with. Our minds don’t like grey areas, but we certainly don’t like black and white. Take Oryx for example, yes, Bungie could have done better from a narrative point of view, but they give you something to connect with. You, the player, killed his son. He was in grief, he wanted revenge. You can connect emotionally. Pathos. That’s the term. The problem with SIVA so far, is that there is nothing to connect with. Pathos doesn’t work like it did with Uldren and Oryx (kinda but not really) because you can’t connect with SIVA emotionally. Logos (logical narrative) can work if they present it in a logical way. And ethos can’t be used because it’s an appeal to authority. They already tried ethos with the splicers, and pathos was attempted with the iron lords but you can’t feel remorse for underdeveloped characters. The problem with SIVA, is there is no way to connect with it. This is a fundamental problem in the series. I like the idea of SIVA but in a narrative like destiny, it doesn’t necessarily work unless you change the dynamics of said narrative. Of course, if they pull it off, it would be amazing. Phew. I’m done.

                      • NO, Why? Because since I got my D2 TL I've been playing back in D1 and I just destroyed the replicator and resealed the vault (for the millionth time). SO actually please tell Amanda and Shaxx that its now safe to re-enter the Cosmodrome!
