6 v 6 as is tradition, I assume. With Weaver on one side and Cayde on the other.

Some clunkiness here that is resolved by replacing that comma with a semicolon and adding a comma.
Missing comma there.

I just hope neither side stomps the other. Although protag bias demands I hope weaver wins I still think cayde should be able to give a good showing only to fall to an unexpected light trick that weaver came up with.
It's either going to be Clash (6v6 Team Deathmatch) or Rumble (free for all). Rumble's normally 6 Guardian limit, but Shaxx might get crazy and say 12 Guardian Rumble, but that'd likely result in Cayde and Weaver never even seeing each other.

First to win 4 rounds of 6v6 survival gives them more than enough time to play around and one-up each other.
I've got names for all of Weaver's guns and lore entries for the major ones that'll be getting posted as they show up (there'll be one for Mercy soonish).
Sounds like Taylor went MAXIMUM ESCALATION on her Light, which is saying something considering what the basic form of it can already do. That's gonna attract attention if nothing else.

Hardly a fair fight, but they still think they can take her.

She's been around just as long, so I think she's earned it.

I'm going to disagree with you here. First off, doing that would be much clunkier--those five words literally add no new information that the ellipsis doesn't already provide. Second off, conveying that information through text interrupts the flow of the dialogue a lot more than an ellipsis, emphasizing whatever information the text conveys, which could create an effect that ensou doesn't want.
Like, look at this:
To me, that looks a lot more awkward without the ellipsis and stutter-mark. Even if you were objecting to having the ellipsis directly after the period, this (adding the punctuation back in):
Or even this:
Has a different effect than the original. Adding the extra text puts more focus on Weaver's being off-balance and hesitant, and though cutting out the extra sentence helps, the effect is still there, even if it's diminished.
I mean, you could argue that ensou should put more focus on that aspect of the story, but that seems like a pretty different--and much more general--matter than what you brought up.
I mean, you could argue that the difference between having one extra sentence and no extra sentence isn't very significant, but... small differences add up, you know?

The Reef wasn't open to outsiders at all until House of Wolves, which Cayde very much counts as.
A challenger appears~

"Are you prepared to face a fallen goddess? I doubt it."

Final Mercy
"Say your prayers."
Last Rites (Intrinsic): Draws extremely fast and deals increased precision damage for three seconds.
Corkscrew Rifling: Balanced barrel. Slightly increases range and stability. Slightly increases handling speed.
High-Caliber Rounds: Shots from this weapon knock the target back farther. Slightly increases range.
Momentum Mortis: The next three rounds after a kill deal significantly increased damage.
Polymer Grip: This weapon's grip is made of lighter material. Increases handling speed.
"You know why this is happening don't you? You brought this on yourself."
She stared down, eyes hard as jade, a stark contrast to the molten gold that looked up from their place kneeling on the cold metal deck.
"You chose to cheat. To lie. To steal. To smuggle. And not just items. Not just food, or water, or other things. But people." Her voice was like vacuum-forged ice, cutting harshly. "The Queen does not abide slavery. And for that, the sentence is death."
The hammer rose.
"Do you have any last words?"
The other spoke, for the first time. "No matter how hard you try, you'll never be one of us."
"I already am."
The hammer fell.
"Say your prayers."

Nice! That looks like a beast of a hand cannon, and very fitting for Taylor's proprioception target trick. What does she rock for a secondary? A sidearm like the house of wolves quest one? She never struck me as a shotty type, except maybe the chaperone which wouldn't make sense from a story perspective.
Edit: also, if anyone here plays D2 what's the opinion on that new update or dlc or whatever it was? Worth? Bungie possible to trust? Bullshit too excessive? I want to still love Destiny but...

The new update is alright, I'm in the middle of the faction rally (FWC for life!). As for the DLC I'd say to wait until they lower the prices, while it is better than Curse of Osiris that isn't a high bar to jump.

Weaver is never going to mention the time she shot her hand because she forgot she was using it rather than a bug to track a target in a melee.

Weaver has a lot of guns. A lot of guns. The weapons she prefers from each type of the D1 secondaries though are a Vestian Dynasty (can't beat the classics), a pretty standard shotgun named "Kindness" and fusion rifle named "The Easy Answer", and an exotic-level sniper rifle called the "Stygian Needle" that'll show up and get its own lore entry eventually.

Nobody seems to be on anymore, it's making it hard to get the coldheart ornament since there's nobody to nightfall with. But I'm going to be grinding like hell on WF anyway once Limbo Prime drops. So id say hold your money until the Fall DLC drops.

I'm actually trying to make the transition from Xbox to PS4, so I'm not even able to do any of the new dlc yet. Honestly the worst part about the transition is that I don't get the fun little voice lines that are used when you have a legacy. Also HOLY CRAP I didn't know Limbo was getting primed.
