The Traveler is stolen, and the Speaker is gone. The vanguard is lost, and The Last City lies in ruin. The Guardians, once empowered by the Light, are brought low by its absence. This is a new and dark time for you, a small group of Guardians who find yourselves on the run on Earth following the Attack on the Last City by Gaul. Cut off from the Light, and your abilities, how will you face the challenges of a world that has suddenly become much, much more dangerous?

So Guardians don't have special powers anymore but they still have their guns. Then my Guardian shouldn't have a problem, when I played I used guns almost exclusively.

Keep in mind that means no double jump ability, no special grenade abilities, no armor charged with light, no respawning, just you, a ghost, your wits, and your teammates.

It's also going to be much less game-y. Your ghost can heal you, but if you lose a body part, it's not coming back.

Been a super long time since I played, some point during year 1 based on how I read light worked during the various years. From what I read during this time period one was able to regain their light from a non-Traveler source. Don’t remember the specifics.
