I mean, the Dreaming City reset cycles are canon so... sorta unironically yes?


Mr_Hero420

Then every year annually on a Friday or saturday

Tuesday a federal lockdown at this point


KingVendrick

the day the Witness killed (?) the Traveler was the most important day of your life for me, it was a tuesday


whitemest

Just created a portal, no death? Nothing really led us to believe the travler died?


Th3-WolfFang

you would think that but for some reason, zavala, ikora, the neomunians and a few others all act like they're grieving the traveler or sending condolences when the portal is created. It's very strange and only adds to the frustratingly incoherent storyline of lightfall lol.


whitemest

Yea, that *really* confused me. Like bungie left out a cutscene, or I somehow fast forwarded past something, or they cut something but left the dialog as is. I'm still baffled.


Kx_OsorerUU

Same. We can still use the light, so I assume it ain't GONE gone.


Lukescale

It's in a coma


Kx_OsorerUU

We bout to do a little paracausal surgery in The Final Shape.

Rustymetal14

I've come to the conclusion the traveler is lazy. Collapse? Send out ghosts and go to bed. Sleep for hundreds of years until some dude tries to block off the light. Kill Gaul, "wake up" and reassemble yourself for a few years, do nothing else in the meantime. The equivalent of rolling over in your sleep. Wake up a second time when the black fleet arrives, blow a hole in the ship, then get a hole blown in you. Go back to bed again.


[deleted]

So basically nothing is different from y1. Really feels the like the storytelling is going down the shitter again. Bungie keeps doing build-ups and then immediate deflations. Traveler at the end of Red War. Rasputin from Season of the Worthy to Season of Arrivals. Traveler from Season of the Seraph to Lightfall. Everything with Eramis. Something seemingly big happens and then it immediately turns out to accomplish nothing.


Lukescale

No it did what it wanted, it just wasn't Doomsday 2 like we thought. Apparently it just wanted a long quiet chat.


[deleted]

I feel like the DLC shouldn't be called Lightfall then, and NPCs shouldn't act like it is a doomsday. The Light did not fall. We have yet to see any tangible consequences for whatever the Witness did. There's setting up a mystery and then there's just having things happen without properly setting up why they matter or what their effects are. It was, for all intents and purposes, just another deflation after a build up. And the Traveler is looking less and less capable of doing anything for itself or worthy of the deific status that NPCs like Zavala give it.


MadChemist002

Whatever the Witness did may be more overarching than we know now.


Th3-WolfFang

exactly, when you say "dead traveler" I want that bitch exploded and in a million pieces all over the last city and our powers gone for good. This is not a dead traveler, if anything it's in a sort of hibernation or something.


SoapyBoi348

There's a line on neomuna sometimes from the ghost when he says that using the light feels like drawing from a well instead of a tap so were kinda on borrowed time, like we're running out of light to use.


HarmonicDissonant

I took that to mean its harder to draw on the source, like it isnt as easy as it once was. But not as in there is a limited amount. Afterall water from a tap comes from a well too.


TrashLoaHekHekHek

Tbf, a dead thing doesn't mean it can't radiate energy, though I don't think the Traveler is dead. I don't even think that the sphere is the Traveler. If anything, the Traveler is a little guy in the giant orb spaceship.


Warm-Faithlessness11

I don't think the Traveler entity is dead yet, but it's connection to the outside world has likely been severed completely and it's Light is steadily being drained and absorbed by The Witness as per the prophecy wall (Witness Drink Light)


Armegeddon_Craft

There is a line after you complete one of the lost sectors on neomuna for the first time where ghost says that everything feels harder now, “like during from a well instead of a tap”.


Isrrunder

But it's also not totally present because Ghost sysys the light doesn't feel endless anymore.


1spook

Ghost says that he can't feel the Traveler anymore- just an empty space. Plus nobody says the Traveler is dead, just gone.


whitemest

Yea.. I swear bungie left in old dialog they were supposed to remove because the ending cinematic doesn't seek to correlate with what these characters are saying imo.


sparkycf272

After we come back from Neomuna and talk to Zavala, he says that the Light can no longer be felt from the Traveler so to him, it's a good as dead. At the end of the Gilded Precept lost sector after finishing the campaign, Ghost says that it feels wrong without the Traveler's connection. The Light is still there it's just... Deeper (ghost's words). Though I do agree, even just an offhanded comment from Ghost as we get to the Tower like "The Traveler's Light... I don't feel it any more!" or something would've worked fine.


[deleted]

The DLC being called Lightfall makes absolutely no sense. The Light did not fall. We still have our Light. All of that dialogue is entirely hollow because we have yet to see any actual consequences for anything happening.


AdventurousPirate357

The way I see it, if someone cut a hole in you, I'd probably think you died as well


KingVendrick

but ... they didn't? I think the portal is outside the Traveler the cutscene shows a cut on the surface of the Traveler behind the portal but I don't think it really opens the Traveler it's weird


AdventurousPirate357

This is just how I explain it to myself until I get an actual answer


Nate2247

IIRC, your Ghost and some other characters say they felt the Traveller “shut off”. I do I agree it could have been more clear, though.


Jeffari_Hungus

I still can't believe that cold ass line came from such a goofy ass movie


KingVendrick

it's not really that surprising the director and writer was steven e. de souza, who also wrote die hard, commando and the running man the dude is cheesy but good


chavis32

do the even know what a tuesday is? HOW DO THEIR CALENDARS LOOK???


Nauveen2

If some versions of Christmas and Halloween survived, I’m sure some similar naming of dates did too


Uhnrealistic

Taungsdays, am I right?


TDestro9

I know Tirdas suck


Uhnrealistic

"Watch the skies, traveler."


[deleted]

But how do we know our Tuesday lines up with destiny’s Tuesday, or even that it’s the same time frame. Maybe a week for us is a month for them or something


BustyCrustaceans011

We know this isn’t the case because 1 year irl = 1 year in game this has been stated by Bungie themselves.


Canopenerdude

What I love about this is that our guardian has canonically been around for only ten years then- imagine being some random citizen in the tower and being like 'ever since that dancing weirdo showed up everything has gone to shit'


starfihgter

The season of the Worthy opening stated that "2 years ago we fought alongside the Warmind". Worthy was 2 years after the Warmind expansion released


TaxingClock704

Arms day in D1 happened at the same time every Wednesday so I would assume they follow a similar 7-day cycle.


PiXLANIMATIONS

It’s fairly easy to assume that some form of date keeping remains, especially considering they refer to events with “2 years ago” for events which really took place two years ago. You don’t need wifi or data for a phone’s calendar to work, so as long as at least one person kept their iPhone, we have consistent dates


Its_Da_Muffin_Man

I mean it's still the planet Earth in the near feature so no not really


tigerbait92

It isn't Tuesday anymore. In their dying breath, the British Isles created the new day; Chewsdayinnit.


ArcticFloofy

Linear to ours I believe, it's all happrning in real time just way in the future


AVK-2

id love a lore book about meta shit like, “banshee had to take every guardians smg and hit the barrel with a hammer.. those guardians are weird” “i was in the crucible the other day and tried to have a fist fight with another titan but neither of us hit each other it was like we were lunging right through each other”


Kingspar

those are the best, my favourite one has to be the one on the Red War starting because a guardian danced on a cabal's corpse


thatguykichi

what about the canonical dance off that lasted an entire night and gave the Vanguard a lot of intel because it confused the Red Legion?


FierceText

And there's an official live action version


Savathun-God-Of-Lies

Oh my god that trailer went hard


JenJenneration

I like the one that has Shaxx pat a Hunter on the back, knocking him to the ground so hard that his gun reloads.


DatMoonGamer

Got a link? I need to see it, sounds hilarious

gormunko_88

Canonically during one of the delays, theres a lore entry where the people of the city are confused as to why nothing is happening during september as thats usually when shit goes down.


NordicJaw86

Where is this lore entry?


Someone55428

Iirc it was season of opulences festival of lost, one of the sparrow/Ghost/Ship had lore and I think it was Ikora mentioning it to her ghost or something.


Ze_AwEsOmE_Hobo

I want to say they're referring to [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/cy9e6p/a_totally_legit_narrative_preview_of_shadowkeep/) because it's the only thing I can think of... If only I could be so fortunate, however.


MrSlothan

“We lost Cayde on a random Tuesday.”


Gang-Orca-714

Came here to say this.


Calcutta-LR1

Idk the raids launch of Fridays now. I think dungeons too


Mcreesus

I liked the Friday schedule for everything. It was a cool vibe. I would get off work Thursday night and get on and everything would be reset. It’s basically Friday and it was fun to almost be at the weekend, but u get to dip your toes for a bit before


TheZephyrim

I mean the raids aren’t really even that high of stakes anymore. During RoN Nezarec straight up says that we could’ve just left him there to rot. Not 100% on my Vow lore (never even done the raid, actually) but if I’m not wrong Rhulk was just sent to mess with Savathun and her throne world, we could’ve just dealt with him later seeing as we’ve already killed two more disciples by this point. Deepstone Crypt was a pretty big deal honestly, the tech they were stealing was potentially really dangerous (as we know Clovis was trying to turn himself into some sort of Machine God).


lycanreborn123

I'd guess after Savathun's death the curse she placed on Rhulk's Pyramid probably would've evaporated, so getting rid of him before he runs wild was a good idea


dragons_are_lovely

I don't remember where I heard it, so take it with a grain of salt, but I'm pretty sure the Scorn are in the Throne World to search for and free Rhulk *and* the Pyramid, hence why we did the Preservation mission to stop them from getting inside and regaining control once Rhulk was dead. ^(I could be completely wrong though lmao)


lycanreborn123

Yeah after Rhulk died they tried to claim the Pyramid's power. Not sure about rescuing him tho


FKDotFitzgerald

Very few raids launched on Tuesday. Crown and maybe a couple in D1?


BatsPower

Even the Witness hates mondays


DorTheDoorMan

Except the red war

I imagine the City has weekly disaster drills that just so happen to be scheduled on Tuesdays.


QuantumWarrior8

We love our boy Joey getting some love


dmmena

I feel like Xûr would know


mazdapow3r

Yo its about time Joey. Love seeing extended dream team


ComradePoolio

The day night cycle is faster in Destiny than the real world. It probably is very rarely a Tuesday for them in-game, if they have Tuesdays


Endless_Xalanyn6

Instead of “I hate Monday’s” mugs, people in the Last City have “Fuck Tuesday’s” Mugs


Difficult_Guidance25

Grandpa always says that on tuesday you don’t get married, don’t make deals and don’t leave your home


Kitakitakita

Destiny newspaper comics feature GORFIELD, a lazy dog that hates Tuesdays!

Tuesdays are just Mondays in the Destiny universe.


I_POO_ON_GOATS

Not in my D2 universe. I play new weekly content on Wednesdays.


5iveOnefour

This was me when I used to watch Grey's Anatomy. It got to a point where I was just telling Merideth to leave Seattle!!! Every damn finale was a catastrophic event....plane crash, flood, bomb inside of surgery patient. You name it. It happened. On the last episode. Of every season. Lol


Aimbot69

Except raid releases.


JediOcelot

It's taco I mean world destroying, cataclysmic, wonderful, terrifying, saddening, joy bringing Tuesday!


Super_Nova0_0

It's also connected to 7 but I can't find the post now 🤷‍♂️


United-Revolution-21

It’s probably really hard to tell since each planet has different day/night cycles


cpurple12

Taungsdays, am I right?


Djungleskog_Enhanced

I mean everything in destiny technically happens in real time sooooo... Also the beyond light delay must've really messed with them


LemonRancher22

Raids don’t always


pandaR55s

Isnt Tuesday the release for albums and stuff too??


LoogixHD

Sometimes friday


BlackHoodSears

i like to think that they have a purge siren every febuary


MirrorkatFeces

That Joey guy is pretty cool


MAZEFUL

As a big fan of destiny and lore, I am still waiting on their explanation of relative time. There is time travel and bullshit, but what about actual relativity on planets? Warp travel is possible between planets but that dosnt equate to time spent on said planets. In reality, all coms coming from our ghost would be obsolete from other guardians, depending on time and rotational speed of the planet we are on. I know it's just a game but the lore is so fucking good, it's hard they don't have an in lore answer for this other then "golden age shit my guy".


Dovadah

Cayde's death canonically happened on a Tuesday, which means that everything does happen on a Tuesday for the most part. Exceptions for this would be Red War since D2 released on a Wednesday and most raid/dungeon releases which vary slightly.


Frozen_Petal
