In D2 Vanilla, Ikora lost her light. She went to the place she felt closest to the light on Io. The pyramids arrived on Io and set up shop over the cradle and the tree of silver wings. Eris went to investigate and I expected to see Ikora there the first week to marvel at the tree and concern for what was happening to it and the planet as a whole. Instead we got Zavala to show up and express concern. Zavala had new text and voice dialogue and Ikora was silent. No new text overlay, no lore from her, nothing.

We started wielding darkness and literally every other character had something to say about us using stasis. Lord Saladin, Lord Shaxx, and Zavala told us not to venture down that path. Based on who Ikora is, we should have had something from her.

With the notes from the Stolen Intelligence Lore Book, we know that Ikora has been in a rough place for some time. Since Cayde's death she's stopped offering assistance to guardians, in the form of bounties and training in the story missions. She hasn't offered us ways to strengthen our bonds with the light and know the power of each class and what it offers. She's stayed hidden and reserved. She needs to be involved. She needs to be at the forefront with all of this darkness surrounding the system.

Bungie, if the issue is Gina isn't available, please consider recasting like you did with Ana. With all these huge events happening in the system, we need her to either step up or work with other guardians we need her to lead again.
