Datto's Thoughts: Converting Light Subclasses to the Dark System (Luke Smith Polygon Article)

You know, I really thought I was gonna get grilled on the raid video, but I didn't nearly as badly as I thought. This one though... this one probably a bit more so. Luke Smith did an interview I guess? with Polygon and one of the topics that came up was regarding the conversion of the Light subclasses Arc, Solar and Void, into the Dark subclass format, aka Stasis. And people were not happy to hear that some supers were potentially going to be removed as a result.

In today's video, I'll go over the article, talk about the fact that it's way more work to convert these subclasses than people think, why that's the case, why the class identity philosophy Luke outlined isn't a bad take at all, why reverting back to a D1 system is a cop out, what it would actually take to convert these subclasses and why it would take some sacrifices. All in a tightly compacted, 23 minute marathon. Probably gonna hold off on reading comments on this one for a day or two. Just trying to bring a more realistic approach to this topic as opposed to just getting mad.
