I'm concerned about Beyond Light.

I'm seeing some red flags. When Forsaken was revealed 2 years ago, it wasted no time revealing a new Mode which was Gambit, not 1 but 2 locations, what we could expect from the Raid, the new weapon models and armor, the new supers AND BOWS. Frickin' bows. This was all on June 5 of 2018. It's now July 6th and we know little to nothing about Beyond Lights content offering. We have very little gameplay, a potentially misleading look at the new subclasses, no examples about how "highly customizable" luke says they will be. We know nothing about the Raid or new location exploration, all weapons and armor shown in the Beyond light trailer were from previous seasons, and the biggest kicker? [b]We don't get a new Enemy race.[/b] Just yet another reskin of Fallen. I don't like how Bungie is manipulating the events of the games narrative so they align in a way that lets them reskin enemies. Taken. Siva. Frozen Hive, Scorn, Nightmares, and now Dark Fallen because apparently the Scorn weren't already that and we need another iteration. I'm thinking about a Siva fallen, a Taken Fallen, A Scorn, and now Dark Fallen all in one room and I'm just laughing and half crying at the same time. I really want Beyond Light to be amazing but Bungies behavior has been concerning (did you see how Luke and Mark were sounding?! Their tone and body language?!) and the narrative is losing momentum. Still no Vidoc. I am concerned. Edit: Not really hurt about there not being a new race, I know it wouldn't make sense because the Pyramids are sentient. There is no Traveler race so there is no Pyramid race. Edit 2: Someone mentioned that Covid-19 has most likely impacted Bungies ability to get everyone together to do a vidoc, which while not Bungies fault, is still very concerning. Even Cyberpunk 2077 was delayed to Novemeber...

There is no Traveler race so there is no Pyramid race.[/quote] I know this isn't a lore discussion but I still think that there is a 5th race in the Pyramids. Mainly because: 1. They have interiors with doors, hallways and staircases the same size as those of humans. 2. There were those darkness-like creatures that the Drifter encountered on that ice planet. 3. Cayde's journal has a sketch of a shadowy/wispy creature. Also he felt "tendrils"? or something covering him during the collapse. 4. There was also the creature that broke into Niobe Labs that kinda sounded like metallic screeching. 5. Early concept art of a wispy 5th race and the Pyramids. 6. They use the pronoun "We" a lot, implying multiple individuals (although it could be referring to the Pyramids collectively, or it could be the Winnower using the royal 'We'). 7. [spoiler]I can't remember exactly who says it but I think it's Sloane. In the evacuation quest, she says she wants to stay on Titan and face whatever comes out of the Pyramid, meaning it must be inhabited. [/spoiler] So we may not see them until Lightfall but I do still think that there is another alien race in the Pyramids.
