      My first exotic weapons were Thunderlord, Hardlight, and than oddly I got G-horn from the random exotic Heavy weapon engrams than turning those in at the end of the week so I ironically got the G-horn in the end anyways. But since I had gotten both Hardlight and Thunderlord 1st I ended up maxing both out 1st. Also I beat Aetheon's raid on Hard with the Thunderlord, and got the Vex not having a clue as to what the hell it was I had just gotten at the time. I maxed the Vex out and went on absurd killimanjaro-esk killing sprees both in PvE & PvP for the rest of that week until Bungo nerfed the gun.. Unfortunately for Bungo My Titan had an auto-rifle & Fusion Rifle build so I had crazy amounts of buff with the gun regardless of the nerf. My Hunter litterally melts everything whenever I equipped the Vex on my person. Hilariously I ended up getting an Arc autorifle from the prison of elders with god rolls that I had kept...sadly both guns were Legacies which pissed me off to this day because Bungo keeps doing that sh-t without remorse.. Dispite the fact players invest in time and effort into their weapons in D1 and D2 so a degree.

    D1 changed my life. At the time of its release I was an opiod addict and just beginning my path to cleaning myself up. I had so much idle time and needed something to take my mind off of drugs. I picked this game up and immersed myself in it. Id play 10+ hours a day. It gave me something to keep my mind occupied and actually be something I enjoyed. I remember the long hours at night and have this wonderful game to thank for helping me get thru. Ive been sober for a little over 9 years now. I will forever love this game and the community at large!

      I agree. I liked the feeling that I was signing into a game where I knew what was coming and that I was going to be something that I would be proud of doing. Now I feel that has been taken from us and obtaining that God role on a weapon or perfect armor for a build is unfulfilling through weapon crafting and the endless searching for that perfect armor drop.

      ​@@randomsoul3212Same man, D1 has that narrative experience too. D2's live service design really hurt its status as a complete package. If you buy the D1 collection for 20$ you get a series of campaigns and slowly unlock things in chronological order. In D2 they speed to along to the latest seasonal activity and even vault out old campaigns meaning that not only do you get an incomplete narrarive, but you also get no conext for whats happening cus the game just wants you caught up as soon as possible. Idk man, Destiny worked better when it appealed to Halo fans aswell as MMO fans. Nowadays D2 is just a raw MMO with a much more dilluted casual experience. D2 doesnt make me feel like a God killer mesiah Guardian who will save the universe from the darkness. Instead it makes me feel like a drone amongst the masses of other guardians. Raids arnt as impressive as they used to be, exotics dont feel good to get anymore, there are a good couple of things I think D1 did better.

      @@rc08zzr600 my complaint isnt that D1 went away. My problem is that D2 didnt continue down that line of completedness. The story used to mesh better when it was expansions and updates instead of seasonal stuff. The live service model just complicated D2's story and made it ironically less accessible as a narrative experience. D1 has many problems, but one problem it didnt have was being a complete experience that you can play from start to finish. D2 by comparison has tons of content that you can no longer access and stories you can no longer experience and thats a big weakness imo.

Which his name displayed "Rahndel, the Perfected".

Sometimes we had to do “ammo” runs or wait the full 5 minutes to start encounters with full super. Intellect stat and Orpheus rig nightstakers were way more important then to make sure everyone had supers when we needed them. It’s a lot easier to get supers now.

    I was playing crucible with a friend in year one and I was pretty new to the game. My friend who play a few months at that time decided we should go into the crucible match and we stuck together most of the time. We watched a team mate turn turn the corner and the dude got melted. The gun shots were something I never heard. My friend screams “run run” I’m like “huh” so we start running away and he goes “when you hear that sound you run.

      I know my grind was thorough because in D2 Y1, we had to wait a year for the first expansion to drop, so after 4 months, there wasn't ANYTHING else to do in game.

    Since people are sharing their stories:
    I got into Destiny completely by accident. I was looking around the Xbox store for something to spend birthday money on, I was around 15 at the time. There was a free weekend for Destiny so I decided to try it out. I got instantly hooked, bought the game the next day. This was around the time House of Wolves launched and I became a hardcore player. Did things every day, preordered The Taken King, waded through the cesspool that is (was? It's been a while since I've looked) LFG to do raids, everything. I fondly remember staying up wayyyy to late at night in my basement to play (American players, remember reset being in the middle of the night?), faking being sick so I could stay home from school on the launch days for TTK and Rise of Iron, endlessly annoying my friends with stories from the lore (usually Byf's explanations, especially after the Books of Sorrow series started coming out). When D2 launched I had just moved into my own apartment and started my first semester of college. I played solidly from launch up until Season of the Hunt, bought every expansion and season pass. Around Season of the Hunt, it just became too expensive and a lot of my friends had already left the game due to either the price or just not having the time to play anymore. I didn't pick the game back up until recently, towards the beginning of Season of the Wish. My brother messaged me out of the blue asking if I still played and we got back into the game together. If it weren't for that, I probably never would have picked the game back up. I'm having a blast and now that I make enough money I've gotten every expansion I missed out on and am looking forward to Final Shape, I'm enjoying being active in the community again and discussing lore with my few friends who either still play or have picked it back up. It's hard to believe Destiny has been such a big part of my life for almost 10 years now. Even with about a 3 year gap in playing I still occasionally watched a lot of my favorite creators in the community. What started as "ehh, it's free I'll try it out" has evolved into my active participation in the largest gaming community I've ever been a part of. I've made memories that will last, if not a lifetime, certainly a long time. I'll never forget my first VoG, Crota's, or King's Fall clears, done way too late at night with random groups from LFG who were kind enough to let in someone without Gjallarhorn (I never did get the damn thing to drop until the quest in Rise of Iron). I'll never forget my first exotic ever (Suros). I for sure will never forget grinding for Thorn or those Hadium Flakes. The OG title screen and orbit music still bring emotions rushing back to me. The first clan I joined in D2, even if we parted ways when I knew I was going to be walking away from the game (they liked to keep the roster to active players, which is a position I can respect). Destiny is the first game I truly felt the community around, I'm really glad to be back. Cheers to us Destiny vets and good luck to all the New Lights, here's hoping we can press on to a bright future after Final Shape.

    The D1 subclass progression system is still my favorite. It doesn’t offer the same level of build customization as you get with certain subclasses in D2 post light 3.0, but overall it was a more rewarding system. You actually had to spend time with your subclass instead of spending a ton of glimmer at a vendor. It felt like an actual progression system, like you were both growing in power and collecting better gear constantly, instead of buying your build outright
    That said, 3.0 subclasses offer a ton more versatility and it’s a massive upgrade, I just personally prefer the more RPG-progression style of D1’s subclass customization. (Also Bladedancer is badass)

    A day I will never forget was when I was playing some crucible with my friend back in vanilla destiny. I had only learned that exotics are the pinnacle of all loot, and to get an exotic was a major step forward when it comes to progression.
    Anyway we were going at it until we see that someone that went by the name of “Titan Joe” had joined near the end of the game. We were amused by the name and when the game ended we could see him at the bottom of the leaderboard. 0 kills, 0 deaths… no contribution to the game whatsoever. So the loot was starting to appear, top to bottom, revealing all of our loot until it had finally reached the fabled Titan Joe… he had won himself an icebreaker…
    There are no words to describe the range of emotions we had felt. On one hand it was hilarious to see someone join a game just for it to end as soon as they spawned to snag themselves an exotic. But on the other hand we had given it our all just to be slapped senseless by Bungie for our hubris.

    I loved learning how to run each possible role in a raid and I still clearly remember my old raid team after all this time. I still chat with one to this day! I'd run solo Nightfalls and if you hopped me in the old maps I can still probably effortlessly do mat runs.
    I couldn't afford to play Taken King because on the 360 at launch you had to buy the full $60 edition to play just the expansion. It was fixed like 3-4 months later but it's when I took a break from Destiny.

Didn’t really think it would stick since it was on sale for like 20 bucks. Ever since then, I never looked back and that game took over my life. I remember getting an absolute god roll of an Eyasluna, the rush of landing headshots with the longbow and everything in between.
