It’s not supposed to be seen as ice/opposite of solar. It’s meant to just be the stopping of cosmic energy. The other dark classes are likely to be some kind of soul fire or poison next year and then actual darkness for the year after

The stopping of cosmic energy [i]is[/i] the opposite of solar. Which is the cosmic energy of change. Stasis “freezes”, making things unchanging. Solar turns everything to ash due to high heat (which means high energy) Stasis is cold, from low energy. Solar is hot, from high energy. They are opposites. Like Arc and Void.

Again, speculation is what i’m curious about, less so actual outcomes. And it makes sense to be fire/ice anyway, one developer or not. This post is for fun, not fact-finding
-
That’s cool. It’s just cus I’ve seen a lot of people saying it everywhere but I’m trying to let them down now lol. For me the funny thing about stasis is that it’s supposed to be darkness power as they call it yet I’m pretty sure void is more evil than stasis. In the lore it’s cannon that not many hunters are void nightstalkers because it’s a dangerous element to follow
-
No it actually is. In the Vidoc for beyond light they show blade barrage then flip the screen to show silence and squall.

From a Bungie tweet "Stasis is not ice. Ice is frozen water."
-
Its cosmic ice

Editado por Haffoc: 12/1/2020 5:45:22 PMEven cosmic ice is mostly H20 in the form of amorphous ice. Amorphous ice doesn't have a crystalline structure, which stasis clearly does. The very definition of ice is frozen water.

Really? That dosent prove anything at all, I know what you mean but honestly bro that’s not something you’re meant to take as proof. There’s already been a developer saying stasis shouldn’t be seen as ice on reddit
-
it's not supposed to be seen as ice? Got to say, it looks like ice. Sounds like ice too.
-
Cool, where’s the water then? Like everyone else has already said it’s not water freezing enemies, it’s the freezing of cosmic energy
-
It's where the ice is. Cosmic energy may be suspended but ice is the byproduct.
-
Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean it’s ice.
-
The very definition of ice is frozen water. Bungie have stated that stasis is not ice or frozen water. Stasis is about the cessation of motion on a macroscopic and atomic level. It's effectively entropy - the degradation of the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity.
-
I know it’s easy to look at it and say hey it’s ice, but we’ve been told by many developers it’s not ice, it’s literally us removing the energy from something and freezing it in place , it’s not cold or hot or anything. It has nothing to do with water
-
That's on the developers then. Casting absolute zero unto any given area where the particles don't move would create ice, not always wet ice but dry ice as well. Otherwise using an ice texture to represent this power only to explain it's not ice powers on an ice cube of a planet while wearing winter gear is just silly
-
It’s not ice tho, ice isn’t blue bro, it’s clear, again this super has nothing to do with water haha
-
It doesn't have to have water to freeze. When temperature drops the movement of atoms slows down significantly. This would cause crystals to form due to the lack of movement forming a solid state. Stasis being the lack of movement, It may not be ice powers, but to say ice has nothing to do with it is like saying smoke or vapor has nothing to do with heat. Depending on what chemical compounds are present and how light is touching it, ice can and will appear in different colors.
-
Ever heard of amorphous ice - it makes up cosmic ice? It forms at very low temperatures, freezing happens so fast that crystalline structures do not have time to form. As this happens at 15 kelvins, absolute zero world have the same effect, ice forming without a crystalline structure.
-
What would happen if that's performed on a planet or moon with moisture in the atmosphere? Wouldn't the molecules that touch this frozen area and lose movement due to the lack of temperature and form crystals outside of the concentrated area creating crystals in different forms depending on near by elements? Dry ice, not water and will burn. It's just a sensation. It's not really burning you it is freezing tissue beyond repair and forming crystals outside the effected area and the vibration of moving molecules not affected by the freezing next to the effected area causes separation and breaking to the ones stuck in stasis causing shatter.

There is and will be ice
