I feel the lore of Destiny falls into the same category as WH40K - doesn't make a whole lot of sense, is often just a series of mini stories and leaves a lot to the imagination. I like it though as peoples interpretation can be a lot cooler than anything Bungie themselves could come up with and at the same time I honestly get why it isn't represented more in the actual game (though grimoire cards in-game would be nice).

The way Game Informer set up the "timeline" to explain Year One actually makes a bit more sense than how you discover some of the stuff in-game or via the grimoire. I'm curious to see the kind of lore / information we can get from scanning things in Taken King.
I honestly don't really care about getting more Lore into the Hive or Oryx himself. I'm really hoping we get Rasputin more involved in the story and perhaps some depth on the Cabal. Hopefully the Awoken plays a bit more of an involved role and we can start understanding why the Queen is trying to be friendly with the Nine. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing one of the Nine get turned into a Taken or something nifty in a strike. Just to gain some perspective on all the players in Destiny's universe.

Yeah, the GI article was very nice for providing an overview, a lot is still open for interpretation or left in the dark though.
Agreed on Rasputin, it's honestly one of the most interesting aspects of Destiny.
The fact that Rasputin in mentioned in like 3 missions and 1 (optional) strike but is never ever mentioned again is just so weird. Though it just plays into the way the entire narrative is sorta disjointed and has no sense of time or progression.

I agree and I think that is mostly due to how story missions worked independently of one another and were meant to be short, repeatable things. Hopefully the whole Quest concept will allow them to still have story missions to make them flow into one another better so that you get a good narrative the first time through. This will still allow them to exist as short dailies you do for marks and mats.

Time shenaniganry!
Honestly, though
I expect/hope that the Vex timetravel stuff is about alternate reality generation. Mostly because I really want a mission where we meet Kabr and help put his raid team back together across multiple vex-fucked timelines.
Also because Rasputin is clearly manipulating the timestream to generate a positive outcome for humanity, possibly at the expense of the traveler.
See to me it makes sense. The big story is the darkness, the traveler and Rasputin. They have to soreadcthatvout for 10 years.
Rasputin being more of a legend that we keep hearing about / running across is a good way to build him up for a few years until they want to kick the main story into focus.
To me destiny is showing us a series of side stories at this point. Skolas, crota, oryx, the blsck garden. None of it is the main story, just side stories impacted by the main one. All the while its dropping hints about the main story.
I think this is what we will get for a another year or so. Then destiny 1 will end with a major event about the major players. Repeat every 3 years.
Also I love the concept that the Fallen were surprised that the "Traveler" kept on traveling.
Of course, humanity definitely seem to view it as a permanent ally right now as well....
I agree, what makes matters worse for the Fallen is that the Traveler didn't stay behind to help them survive the Whirlwind (their version of the collapse), whereas he stayed and fight for humanity. He still lost, but he stayed. Seeing things in this light makes me less inclined to think badly of him. I had a low opinion for the Traveler, but I found this interesting.
So Xur is supposedly coming to the tower to be showing off some of the new goods tomorrow.
No, he's coming to instagram. It sounds like a social media push to get folks to follow their instagram for some reason. Who follows instagram anyways?
The Vex have "time gates" and the prison of elders locks it's captives "out of time".
In the HoW questline, Skolas is using vex tech to call Wolves from across the timestream to populate his house in this timeline.
Kabr's whole VoG raid crew was time-evaporated out of existence.
In VoG we get precursor and descendant vex co-existing in the same encounter.
Future War Cult sends cultists into the future to try and gain knowledge that will let them defeat the darkness via the classic sapient foreknowledge effect.
That's just off the top of my head. There's more in the grimoire. A lot more.
The timetravel cat is kind of out of the bag at this point, though.
But is this point now, a year ago or in two years? Time travel man... it's a mess.
OptimusZed please elaborate
Well I spoilered it, but honestly this is vanilla Destiny stuff. This is like spoiling Star Wars.
The whole point of the Vex is that they travel through time and space. The Black Garden is a focal point from the past and the future where a shard of the Darkness is. It's why your Ghost doesn't know where/when you are when you enter it. It's also why you get sent back to the present after you defeat the boss. The Vault of Glass is a stronghold where Atheon attempts to write the Vex into the very fabric of time. The Gorgon's ability basically wipes you out of existence, it erases you from history.
The Exo Stranger (no time to explain exo) is believed to be from the future.
That's most of the time travel stuff I can sum up off the top of my head.

It's pretty much confirmed she is from the future or at least had contact with it. Read the flavor text on her rifle you get for some confirmation of that. Plus there are numerous things Ghost says along Vex missions that are pretty heavy handed in saying "hey, time travel!"

Do not remember the bolded at all. The first part of the sentence can be a reference to the Eye of the Gate Lord mission but I don't remember any reference to the other having jack to do with time.
We in fact see one person get release and he was in a physical containment pod. Like some sort of biological stasis rather than ontological non-existence.
Edit: Point being the Time stuff seemed directly linked to the Vex at this point.

You're right, I'm misremembering that. It's that the Black Garden is locked out of time.
Very fun VoG run tonight! Had two people who had never done it before and we amazingly got through the maze and the jumping puzzle with incredibly low attempts. Not sure what realmasume's forum name is, but the lucky bastard got a Timepiece! My friend managed to not get a single gun out of that run. What a surprise, no weapons at all out of Crota runs for him, and none out of this. He did get the legs and the helm, but considering he's already 32, that's not exactly exciting for him. Whatever, we'll have to give it another try this week. Sorry for all the fuckups on the relic against the Templar! Now that I have my rhythm back with him, shouldn't be tough to take him out quickly next time.
Was definitely a good time. That was my first time on hard mode in the Vault. Still think there are parts of the VoG that are too dark. Maybe I need to turn up the brightness on my TV or something.
Anyhow, now just to try to get some people to drag my trough Crota and Skolas and I can get the cool triumph thing. We'll see though. I'm not sure what I should be focusing on to try to up my light level at this point. I feel like I may be stuck at 32.

Well given that it stopped them on Venus I don't think that's the case but my objection isn't that he doesn't know all about it. Just that this simple concept is enough to baffle Ghost. Like, if the concept shows up on a cartoon show maybe we shouldn't write the super bot to be utterly baffled by it? He somehow doubts his Traveler database thing rather than accept the concept.
I could totally see the Guardian saying that line but the Guardian has like two fucking lines in the game which is another of those weird "development" things.
The Vex are a ploy by the Traveler to create a bunch of alternate realities for some purpose. If sci-fi/comics are any indication, it's probably reproduction.
Alternatively, it's Rasputin. I still think he built the Vex and is using them to try and generate a timeline suitable to his purposes. Probably one in which the Traveler is destroyed fighting the Darkness, leaving humanity alone in the process.

My favorite theory is
Rasputin is the Vex. He spends millennia fighting enemies of Earth, growing and accumulating knowledge and tech, but can never actually beat the Vex, and at the end of his "timeline", he has adopted the forms of the Vex in order to fight them, spreading himself across millions of interconnected robotic platforms, and when he finally breaks the time barrier and learns to time travel himself, along with how to network the thoughts of all his platforms across time, he realizes that he is the Vex; or rather, he becomes the Vex, and has been fighting a future version of himself.
Now that he knows this, he has to continue to fight his younger self to keep causality preserved, but is also experimenting with ways to control and manipulate the timestream itself, because then causality would no longer be a factor, and any enemy could be defeated simply by never allowing them to have existed at all. Complete and total universal safety through complete and total spacetime control. Rasputin's ultimate function achieved.

Interesting thought about that.
The Vex Mythoclast:
The Mythoclast is a Vex instrument from some far-flung corner of time and space, mysteriously fit for human hands. Its origins, mechanism of action, and ultimate purpose remain unknown. Perhaps it will reveal itself to you, in time...
Why does Atheon have it? For what reason would a Vex "god" have a weapon meant to destroy a Vex "god", fashioned for humans no less? If Rasputin did create the Vex, it's possible that he (at some point in time) realizes it may have been a mistake and creates the Mythoclast, but I'm not sure where that story thread would go from there. Again, why does Atheon have it? Kind of maddening, but it's really interesting to me.

Yeah, I hope I didn't ramble too much in my explanations of things. You pretty much knew what was coming having done Normal before, at least. I'm really impressed that we got by the jumping puzzle as quickly as we did. Also pretty cool that we burned down a Gorgon to save a maze run!
We'll definitely get a Crota run in. My friend that was with us last night has been "through" the maze (really he's been dead while I solo it) and the bridge (really he's been dead while I solo it), and then as far as the Deathsinger. HM Crota is fun, I'll try to put together a run this week. Obviously you should jump on any chance to take him down, though, so don't wait on me!
In some of the timelines that come together in the Vault, Vex and humans have some common enemy (Rasputin?), even though in the timeline from which we enter the Vault that seems super unlikely.
Very interesting stuff about the Vex, Rasputin and time travel. I took the time travel stuff to be about teleportation, but yeah, there's more to it

Not to be confused with Gjallarhorn, this one is red! ... Slow day at work.
I wouldnt mind seeing an exotic sword with special abilities, a quadruple barrelled Rocket Launcher with instantaneous firing or a chestpiece for Sunsinger that makes those flame wings.

my insane theory:
Rasputin fucked with time to find alternate versions of himself. He has, in essence, assimilated almost all alternate versions of himself into a great being, only different names. He is the traveler. I also feel he's created the 9 as kind of a collective awareness that helps us. I also have a suspicion that at the time of the traveler coming to this world for our Rasputin, they warred and somehow disabled him, or intentionally shut down.

Yeah, I hope I didn't ramble too much in my explanations of things. You pretty much knew what was coming having done Normal before, at least. I'm really impressed that we got by the jumping puzzle as quickly as we did. Also pretty cool that we burned down a Gorgon to save a maze run!
We'll definitely get a Crota run in. My friend that was with us last night has been "through" the maze (really he's been dead while I solo it) and the bridge (really he's been dead while I solo it), and then as far as the Deathsinger. HM Crota is fun, I'll try to put together a run this week. Obviously you should jump on any chance to take him down, though, so don't wait on me!
Time, man. It's a hell of a thing.
Your Ad Here! Reasonable Rates!
Not to be confused with Gjallarhorn, this one is red! ... Slow day at work.
I wouldnt mind seeing an exotic sword with special abilities, a quadruple barrelled Rocket Launcher with instantaneous firing or a chestpiece for Sunsinger that makes those flame wings.
@Bolthorn this could be a pretty good week to hit 34. Iron Banner if you rep up with them you'll be given the ability to buy a thing to max out one piece of armor at rep rank 3 and 5 with them.
Running PoE should help as well.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
