Destiny General Discussion Thread

[WHYNAUT]

If i put "[Destiny character]'s 2-C rating will be considered 8 universes" in OP for a versus match, to be equal to someone else, what do you think?

Is that allowed outside of fun & games?

 

[DaReaperMan]

Is that allowed outside of fun & games?

Not even a little if you want to add the match afterwards.

 

[Nonynho]

bet, ty for y'alls time

 

[WHYNAUT]

No problem.

I remember my first Vault of Glass raid run back in 2015. Man, it’s been a good 11 years, and hopefully there will be a Destiny 3. There are way too many unanswered questions.

It makes me wonder what will happen with destiny rising amid all this.

Anyway, yeah powernull but that's not much of a feat, since the Winnower is 1-A and the Guardian is not.

The item Soul Siphon has some pretty cool text.

All existence is cradled within an aching nonexistence. The Void calls eternally for more life.

From what I understand, the Nine can’t perceive anything connected to the Winnower, and when existence ends, all that’s left is light and dark with champions, just as the Winnower described.



By the way, “well, split my atoms” is way funnier it has any right to be.

It’s quite nice to have an antagonist who isn’t evil or crazy. It’s funny how he talks about some of the strongest beings in the universe as if they were children.

I do hope we see more of the Winnower in the Winnower saga of Destiny 3 (I'm totally not coping here)

Hey, what are your thoughts on the Nine having 1-C range?

Ikora: We’ll have to send additional researchers for further study of the interaction between trans-dimensional matter and material flora. Orin: Once I can wrangle my proprioception out of the sixth dimension and stop my skin from shifting squares on the periodic table… Maybe I’ll write you a paper on it.

 

[Oliver_de_jesus]

Hey, what are your thoughts on the Nine having 1-C range?

Wait, now that think, even without that, If the nine are in a fourth dimension space, couldn’t that mean something like:

3 spatial dimensions + Time + (nine) fourth spatial dimension= 5D range

 

[WHYNAUT]

Hey, what are your thoughts on the Nine having 1-C range?

Idk. Information on the scale and reach of the Nine is inconsistent or incomplete. On top of that Destiny has both significant and compact higher dimensions, so without further context we can't say which kind is being referred to here.

If you don’t mind me asking, how do the Nine roughly scale? They should be somewhere between 2-C and 2-A, and do the god tiers like Oryx and the Witness scale to them as well?

I haven't gone through all of their lore yet, but I don't remember any feats above Low 2-C. And that's excusuvely for Nine Space/Unknown Space.

I like how with the new updates, I can’t play Destiny 2 anymore. Keep getting “error: marrionberry” on my series X when this shit wasn’t a problem beforehand at all

So, will Oryx and the Witness still rank above them? In my honest opinion, the Nine aren’t as powerful as Oryx.

Well yeah, the Nine's entire deal is that they can only interact with the world to a limited extent and that they make up for this by having a massive sphere of influence and an unconventional relation to time.

One last question: shouldn’t the Ascendant Realm be considered high 1-B in its entirety when compared to the universe, which has infinite dimensions? Obviously, no one outside of the Winnower and the Final Shape Witness would even come close to scaling to it.

The ascendant plane is a mirror of the material universe, not the 'greater' universe, so to speak. We don't know if the infinite dimensional Hilbert space is embedded in the material universe or vice versa.
That's one of the issues with Destiny scaling, we don't know how different parts of the cosmology relate to each other. For example the whole thing with Ahamkara climbing the Anathematic Arc could be Low 1-C, Low 1-A or even 1-A. But we have no context for its place in the cosmos, so currently it's stuck as 'Extradimensional Range'.

Got it, thanks. I was bored at work, so I started browsing some lore and found these points pretty amusing. Even after 11 years, I’m still uncovering new things.

How do we solve the hard problem of consciousness? One theory suggests increasingly complex electrical wave patterns. Sustaining those complex waveforms through an affected substrate. Electrical impulses through brain matter. Another kind of impulse through dark matter.

Vast, dispersed minds. Thinking and acting across distances and timelines broad enough to confuse even the Vex. Gravity's reach is long and greedy; the Sun's dragging influence on spacetime barely wanes before Proxima Centauri asserts itself.

Spacetime accounts for more than physical dimension, and gravity works its effects upon it all.

These consciousnesses, finely spread across such a distance, must work within the dimension of time in a way that differs from the Vex. Else, a single thought would take years to vibrate across their superstrings. Else, a Collective would have consumed them long ago.

It's an electromagnetic anomaly. No mass, but a tangible surface area. It's like a thesis statement to the Von Neumann-Wigner hypothesis. It's definitely paracausal, like the Traveler

Think about logic. Here, we define logic as "the governing principle by which a power defines its own existence." For example, the Hive practice sword logic.

What is the governing logic of Truth to Power?

 

[WHYNAUT]

Anyway, now that there's slightly more activity here, I might as well make use of it. I'm currently working on a Paracausality Explanation Page, not a verse-specific power page, and I'd appreciate some feedback. It's still a WIP, but even so, if I've made any mistakes or I seem to have missed something, please let me know.
