The Edge of Fate will officially release in three days. And reactions from the people are… forgetting Titan mains fighting Crucible, sort of scattered.
The official Destiny 2 account got truly poetic in its posting of the expansion teaser “The mysteries of the cosmos are waiting for you to uncover them,” which was enough to send the community into a frenzy. Some are counting the mintues; some are… well, not too happy. Classic Destiny community behavior there.
First of all: the really excited bunch. Anton, from Ukraine, by the way (shoutout to Anton), described it perfectly, saying, “Looking forward to it.” Meanwhile, Andy from Palestine talks a whole lot about Eliksni pistols as though they are negotiating a peace treaty. Uniame, our favorite pre-debut VTuber, is already packing for said cosmic adventure, saying, “See y’all there!”
The other part is the Panos, who outrageously claims to be spokesperson for EVERYONE, says that the product is unfinished and needs to be delayed, sparking a huge conversation with pugwash kitswell (best name ever?), who would not accept that from Panos. Way more intense than any Trials of Osiris match, I tell you, with clown emojis included. This is the glory of Twitter drama.
Some kind of players are already creating plans for grind sessions. BakrOrNotToBakr, a very relatable name indeed, wondered if everything for a year is possible to be squeezed into a few days; khaosdoom replied, “With no sleep probably.” Well, yes! Mr. Quig, meanwhile, is here to ask the tough questions: “Is this just gonna be an expansion about guns?” Bungie, surely you must answer!
This is the start of the floodgate of demands: mahnamewiz (Iron Lord tier confirmed) just asked for “Let me have a free copy coz Im broke.” Mood. Tall Nick went on to declare, “For the major part of the Bungie army, never gonna happen for them to buy the expansion, eh… just my take.” Meanwhile, pastaloni are happy to be tortured by that dual-wield animation in the trailer. Bungie is good at messing with our feelings.
Sir Costa brings the real endgame questions: “How many new strikes and new PvP maps in the fate DLC???” Because, let’s be real – that’s what actually matters to the hardcore. stonesandsnakes wants to know, will Kepler be a public destination or a Pale Heart kinda deal? Now, that’s how to ask hard-hitting questions we deserve.
LUCKYY10P drops in with a “Good morning 🦶”, because why not? Twitter be crazy.
So, what will The Edge of Fate have? From the looks of the teaser, it is cosmic mysteries that need solving, dual-wielding of some sort (please, Bungie), and what else we really don’t know about. The community being split between hype and skepticism is pretty much the norm with any Destiny expansion nowadays.
Will they? Will there be enough content? Finally, will we get those Eliksni pistols Andy has been demanding? Three days from now, all the Guardians will be grinding back and forth, and that’s when it’ll be answered. Whether you’re team hype or team wait-and-see, one thing’s for sure – the Destiny community has never failed to entertain with their reactions. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to prepare my sleep schedule for launch day – or rather, delete my sleep schedule for launch day.
