Kind of op that it offers these buffs, also it makes no sense in destinys lore.

  • In what way does it not make sense? I'm intrigued...

  • They have never been mentioned before, the reef is just an asteroid belt, why would it hold life forms that have lived their for so long? There is no food or water or anything to support life there.

  • They survive on the energy of Light, so that's the food issue sorted for survival (which I knew would be a loophole). I also mention in my data that they are being awoken by the Darkness, and therefore they lay dormant for millenia, not to mention the fact that the Reef is a collection of debris, warships of old and structures long destroyed; this doesn't necessarily mean it has been named the Reef forever. They've never been mentioned before, of course! I made them up :) That's the beauty of introducing a new character or species to an already established IP; they can come from anywhere.

  • Also why would a species live on the asteroid belt when its just a bunch of small rocks smashing into eachother? Wouldn't be a great place to live.

  • I think I've exhausted myself explaining to you, I did just comment elaborating on the timeline of my concept if you would care to read that, I hope it helps to clarify things for you. And I also hope you at least enjoyed looking at it.

  • I have read your comments, I'm just saying your back story doesn't make sense. These beings are apparently human sized yet they live on the asteroid belt where there are no resources for anything? What did they evolve from, what does their society look like, where are their cities? This is a scifi and fantasy mix, you just added purely magical beings with no plausible backstory other than they hid in the asteroid belt asleep and then woke up one day when the darkness approached and decided to sell powerups for motes of light outside of a food truck in the reef where the awoken live, who by the way have never seen nor heard of them. If you just changed their backstory to say they came from some moon or planet or another solar system/galaxy i could dig it. But the reef just makes no sense.

  • The warships have only been there for a few hundred years, destiny is set less than 1000 years in the future.

  • Yeah exactly, in the Destiny lore, it is named the Reef because it describes something that we can understand, coral for example can shred boats and vessels and leave them sunken at the bottom. The name itself describes this. But what I am trying to get across to you, and where my concept is set, is the time that precedes the naming of this particular area. The Glaithe in short, were there before anything to do with the Reef arrived.

  • Ok but why would anything live there? I think your design is amazing but you should team up with a writer to come up with a better backstory. Just my opinion. Also your in game uses for these guys are kinda weird. An ancient being of untold power awakens to be a vendor in the tower? I wanna see them fight the darkness and the enemy races, now that would be cool. On every planet you can find the 4 alien races doing battle with eachother but id like to be able to come across a group of friendlies fighting the fallen/vex/cabal/hive.

    Honestly he doesn't need your approval, the "points" you are making sound like you want an argument. "Why would anything live there?" That is like asking why would the awoken live in the reef, it's not a nice place to live (according to you). And they don't need oxygen (I thought that was a given but I guess you can't grasp that) they are beings of light so no food or water needed (also a given). His writing makes perfect sense with the destiny timeline, and I would assume they stay at the reef because it is the edge of the light, the barrier, so they act as the bulwark against the darkness. And why even question this?? You are acting like it is a legitimate thing that will be added (not saying it's bad but bungie would not add that and ghost knows that). You are making a pointless endeavor to critique those who don't need your criticism. Edit: and who knows maybe they were created by the traveler long ago. The point is that it doesn't need to be perfect.

  • He asked for people opinions, don't get mad when i give mine. All my points are fine. If these beings live in the reef than they are clearly not a regular alien race, they are a magical race of unknown origin or power, your line about being a bulwark is great but he didn't write that he just made up the reef origin to fit the new expansion without writing an actually good backstory. That's why i told him to get with a writer or creative design person. Add in that they are an ancient defense against the darkness that are just now waking up and your going somewhere, however i believe the darkness passed through the reef several hundred years ago during the collapse (or however long ago that was, i may be way off) so its a little weird that they are just now showing up. Me, i don't really like the idea of all powerful magical beings, like the vex and their time travel, enemies and allies too powerful are annoying as they make my character seem insignificant. However that doesn't mean his idea is bad, i just want him to be able to sell it properly so that it makes me think "damn this is cool l, this game NEEDS his ideas". After that my only problem is their function in the game as hotdog vendors like the gunsmith.
