Talk:The Dread

Race vs Faction formatting

Now, I'm sure we'll figure this all out in due time once the expansion releases since the they were just revealed yesterday but I thought I'd start a conversation about how we're classifying the dreads and their pre-existing units.

While I think it's clear that they're not an original species, clearly being developed from existing races like the Lubraeans, whatever Nezarec is, and Psions, I believe, however, that they're in a similar situation to the Scorn and the Taken.

The Scorn and Taken are distinct enough in gameplay that we've included them in both race and faction categories and navboxes, despite not being an original species but rather being transformed. For their units, such as, the Taken Psion or Chieftain, we typically classify their species as Taken and Scorn.

I don't see the Dread as being in much of a different situation as those two factions and I believe that it might be practical to format them in the same way, moving forward. Once we know more we might be able to include which original species each unit is based on.

I might be missing a lot of context here, though, so let me know what you all think. --Blue Beefalo (talk | contribs) 18:01, April 10, 2024 (EDT)

Bungie have stated that it is a faction in their Livestream, nowhere does it state that they are a new race. I would rather we wait until Final Shape releases before posting more information (since we don’t have anything on them atm.) TheTrueSorrowMaker 6:09, April 10, 2024 (CDT)

Fair enough. I do hope they elaborate more on this new enemy faction. If they come to be seen as a new race it'd save a bit of confusion with the infoboxes. --Blue Beefalo (talk | contribs) 00:03, April 19, 2024 (EDT)

I'm fine if they're an identified enemy faction, but they could still benefit from the Race infobox instead of just a faction infobox (unless the template of the latter included strings from the Race infobox).Wendigo GL3 (talk) 14:16, June 19, 2024 (EDT)

Technology

Should we migrate the Technology from the Black Fleet onto here now that we have an official faction name for the Witness, its Disciples, and its army? Tindalos the Hounded Mind (talk) 14:01, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

While I would agree to add the tech. I believe its best to wait I believe till 1. Final Shape Release, 2. We know everything they have backed up by in-game information. Idk though that is just me, I would say its ok to add the Tech Packs, Subjugator Glaives and Tormentor Scythes for now. The rest should wait. Mirror Void (talk) 14:19, April 22, 2024 (EDT)

Disciples

Yo, guys, imagine if there were disciple versions of each type of enemy and we fight ‘em in Final Shape. Wouldn’t that be cool. Rhulk for Subjugators, Nezerac for Tormentors. A bat disciple sounds awesome. Warlock Mania

I believe this might be better suited for Forum:General Discussion. --Blue Beefalo (talk | contribs) 14:49, May 4, 2024 (EDT)
