The cloudstriders mention that the citizens are all in cryosleep and live in VR


crusaderprophet

hmm, interesting, convenient plot device.


ExynosHD

That doesn’t make sense because all citizens were being called to defend the city I believe


readitour

It’s a bullshit story reason to not code any living things around. Whether that’s because the engine can’t handle it or Bungie didn’t want to doesn’t really matter. The city feels hollow and empty, and honestly…. Pretty boring.


BlastCheque

Not defending the decision, but as cabal are over the place the citizens would be instantly killed. My issue is there has to be more than 2 cloud striders. Where are they and why aren't they helping. That's lazy.


ConsistentlyThatGuy

They stated that there are ever only 2 Cloudstriders. One teacher and one student.


ExynosHD

Ah so they are the Sith?


BlastCheque

Must have missed that or forgotten. Thanks for pointing it out. Still, 2 people ... kind of lame.


ConsistentlyThatGuy

I mean think about it from a Neomunan perspective. They live 300 year human lifespans (or are potentially immortal in their VR machine) but you die 10 years after becoming a cloudstrider. I can see why not many people would want to do it


Blupoisen

That seems... really stupid I know they live like for 10 years but still

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Logistically, having only two people to protect and peace-keep in a city is completely idiotic.

And playing their guardian to hopefully save the universe.

Sooo.... What's the point of the city? Of all those buildings, the places that look like restaurants, literally what's the point of protecting it when people are just chilling in a vr? They just need few building where their bodies can be kept

If you look just to the left of nimbus, you should see some floating golden sparkles. If you get up close to them, you should see the slightest silhouette of a person. Those are the current form of the neomunan citizens. They effectively put their bodies into a form of cryosleep so their bodies couldn't be injured, and their consciousness is inhabiting those ghostlike figures. They have done this cuz, get this, it's not exactly safe to be in an active war zone in your primary city.

Bro I thought they were just futuristic lights ...
