The subclass shown in the new trailer for Lightfall looks great and I love the color and aesthetic but I hope the lore for it is something completely new and creative instead of what we’ve been seeing the Hive use for years.
Edit: Strand and its lore sound awesome. Gimme.

Definitely do agree with the edit.

Thank God it's not and the lore behind it is actually really elaborate and embodies what darkness or rather, the Witnesses tweaks to it, are about which is reduction and domination. Strand is the manipulation of the casual interactions of matter, energy, and life, paracausally disrupting their states and function within reality. Where Stasis would simplify and sequence matter and energy into perfect crystals and messing with the entropy of them, Strand unravels and tightens the bonds of atoms and molecules. Both are related to the idea of the shape of something which is really cool. I think they knocked it outta the park following the rules of what Darkness is. -
They already said that we’re the first to discover this and they also día d that strand is like a power ripped from another dimension to use our consciousness as a weapon
-
I'm just amused that all the lore sweats were once again proven wrong.

It's strand actually Green energy that U can use as grapple
-
The Dev did say in Lore, we are the First beings to use this power.
-
I was personally hoping for corruption/Blight but I guess that’s not what it is. Doesn’t matter that much I guess.
-
If you watched the showcase, you’d know what Strand is. They explained it before they even revealed the individual supers themselves.

I just wanna be spider man
-
It doesnt seem to me to be the code name for vapour. It just doesn't match

Edited by Kestrel, King of Excrement: 8/24/2022 5:29:45 PMNo it’s not

It’s not Hive Magic. It’s essentially taping into the very matrix of what makes matter matter and shaping it to whatever you desire
-
It looks amazing, but the page for Lightfall has capitalized words like "Weave" and "Thread", so it is likely to be something new.
-
Go check out the showcase. It’s about the “strands of life” very different, new, nothing to do with hive boys
-
Agreed. I'm torn cuz part of me wanted hive magic but then the matrix explanation has me hyped for other reasons, mostly what it means for lore as you're speaking on
