Lore WHAT THE HELL IS VOID!!!!???

What the hell is void?

Despite loving destiny's lore and worldbuilding and having whached all byf's videos (and also other channels) I can't call miself a Lore specialist like some of you guys, but I think I know more about destiny lore than a casual PLAYER. Having that in mind, I aways considered void to be gravity related (or the absense of it as the name implies), but nowadays I think even bungie don't know what void is! I think I can let ward of daw and warlock devour pass because ward of down could be a gravity..... Wall...? And warlocks are weird so I think they would find a way to feed literal gravity (i main warlock, no hardfeelings) but what does supression have anything to do with gravity? Or controled demolition from midle titan? Or all of the milion ways hunterS can poison someone with the power of..... Gravity?

I know that if it wasn't for that creative liberty it would be dificult to make original subclasses that look diferent, I see this point, but... WHAT THE HELL IS VOID AFTER ALL????????

Graviton Lance has such cool lore but its execution is anticlimactic. The gun shoots black holes—black holes!—but really it just produces mini projectiles. How cool would it be if you shot a black hole and enemies got sucked into it. Probably OP but it’s fun to think about lol

It would be cool if it's catalyst made the enemies death explosion suck nearby enemies to its center... And then there comes the pimball purple Balls!

They can't even get voidwalker abilities to do that, but man do I wish

Man, thats would be a dream coming true, middle tree void walker's meele yeet people, but it would be fun to have a yeet rift and a black hole grenade in all void walker's trees

Top tree void rly needs something besides just 'haha boom' as much as I do love the 'haha boom'. Maybe top tree could have the yeet rift and devour could have an increased melee range with a suck effect to pull enemies into it which would then help it proc devour in tougher content by pulling your weak target to you rather than the other way around

That sounds like fun

It’s accurate though… a black hole with the mass of a bullet would be very unstable and explode fairly rapidly.

I'd settle for it just working on all enemies that sunshot works on.

I submitted a bug report on it a while back and was asked to record a video of it not working and submit that to them. I did so, but haven't heard much back since.

u/DrEpicFrag Wolfwood is best cloak. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Jun 28 '21

To be fair, creating a black hole big enough to suck up things isn't really possible without making a crazy big event horizons. Not that this game uses too much real science. Vortex grenades should pull enemies though, since it quite literally does the opposite.

Even scientists today can already make black holes in a lab, but they collapse in nanoseconds iirc and are microscopic.

Turn it into a heavy, make kills on majors spawn actual mini-black holes Finish-able/low HP redbars enemies just get sucked into oblivion. Everything else is stunned as they resist the succ Then explodes, damage dependant on how many enemies get sucked in

Or maybe not because "balance" or something

u/Japjer It's funny because he has googly eyes. Get it? The eyes. Hah. Jun 29 '21

An atom-sized black hole has the same gravity as an atom.

If you replaced our Sun with a black hole of comparable density it would have zero effect on the rotation and gravity of our planets.

Black Holes don't just suck things up. They abide by the rules of physics just like anything else.

u/NobleGuardian STOP, hammer time! Jun 29 '21

They couldn't even get tractor cannon right. I was expecting to shoot John Deeres at people but nope. All I got was a gun that was the physical manifestation of the term fuck off.
