Literally hit level 30 the day before dark below came out and only because Xur sold the glasshouse exotic titan helmet. Couldn't get the helmet from hard mode vog to drop for me ever
I used to cheese Atheon with my Warlock and I helped out so many people just because I enjoyed it. I must have cheesed that boss at least 50 times, I had it down to a science. The amount of "I GOT IT, I GOT IT!" "VEX MYTHOCLAST!!! YES!!!" despite never getting one was totally worth it. I finally got the Vex Mythoclast for the first time... a few months ago.
lol that's how I met 2 of my best gamer friends almost 10 years later! I had never tried the cheese but I had a warlock and figured I could give it a shot, so I volunteered to try it with an LFG group. A few tries later, we had our first hard mode clear and we've been friends ever since!
15:00 it’s so interesting the way he frames MT as coming as “the end of the era of pinnacle weapons was already in sight, but Bungie sent them off with a bang”. The Mountaintop was actually one of the first pinnacle weapons as it came in black armoury. The reason it’s interesting is because the reason he remembers it as sending off the pinnacle weapons is because basically nobody realized it was good until the crown of sorrow raid, and because it was such a hard grind to get nobody bothered getting it until people realized how good it was in crown of sorrow with auto reload well and anarchy. So, patty along with a lot of people probably didn’t get it until season of opulence, which was the last season with pinnacle weapons which is why to him it seemed like it “sent off pinnacle weapons with a bang”. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
I remember the faction rally cheese that was discovered on the EDZ, you could run back into The Weep lost sector. All you saw on days on end was the words "Winding Cove" as you loaded back in and a bunch of guardians running in and out of that tunnel resetting the chest.
Omg dude I remember this and one memory that just came up was bumping the piping in the tunnels which would waste time slowing me down which used to poss me off so much 🤣😭
Chronicler title still makes me mad. I was one away from unlocking it, before Bungie vaulted it. I would have had it if it wasn't for one too many weekly reset maintenance (as it prevented the double dip cheese). Bungie really should've added a catch-up mechanic at the end.
It's less what you're "supposed to do" and more what you want to do. If there's an exotic that sounds fun, do the exotic quest. If you see a video on an activity you want to do, get the quest to go do it :)
One of the worst grinds in my memory was the 100 weapons forged for the black armory ship. Nearly 400 forges with a little bounty in between was a slog.
One of the worse grinds for me that I never see anybody ever talk about was the SRL 320 grind. Back when SRL first came out, it could drop 320 light helms and class items. Getting them from this source allowed you to get your Guardian up to 320, without smashing your head against the wall fighting weekly raid RNG. But, for some reason, they also had a chance to drop at 319, and quite often would, if at all. So you had to do hundred of races during this limited time even to secure the drops you needed. Speaking as somebody whose done almost all of the grinds in this video, SRL ranks above quite a few of them.
Us D1 Year 1 vets remember the pain of trying to grind for Gjallarhorn. Nightfalls, Raids, PvP, getting a Legendary engram and then hoping Rahool would be nice enough to turn it into an Exotic (that was something that could happen), or hoping that this week Xur would finally sell that damn rocket launcher again. Then there was the grind for Vex Mythoclast. I only ever got the original sunset version well into Rise of Iron, and never got the updated version from the reprised VOG before D2 came out. But then oddly enough, D2's version of VOG I was lucky enough to get Vex on my second ever clear. I still don’t have 1K Voices though...
Don't forget during the not forgotten grind you went against OG one eyed mask. Constantly matched against 3 titans with one of the most powerful PvP exotics released.
Man "Forever 29" i haven't thought about that in ages i remember this, I was so excited when i hit 30 and was no longer a member of the "Forever 29 Club" i was so excited.
I think about it from time to time. Had all 3 characters at level 30 and never deleted one ever, but had to wait till the last week before The Dark Below to get the helmet to drop on my warlock. Still have my full OG equip in my vault in Destiny
I remember I grinded over 200 runs of the Savathuns song strike in year 1 and still never got the Duty Bound. I actually never got it until it returned as a random rolled weapon years later.
Mentioning the swords brought back Vietnam flashbacks of walking around Mars and grabbing every relic iron i could find, and after 30 or so, you would get that lucky grab with 24 more lucky drops to go. Then I remember the poor Titans not having a good set of void abilities for killing, so it took forever for Titans to get Dark Drinker.
Man....I remember all of that for D1, when it came to the exotic swords, I remember getting all 3 solo on my Hunter and it was tough. I also remember getting all the faction cloaks.
this just made me super nostalgic.. back when exotics were kinda rare.. and the character creator is just clean with its art style i do miss the SRL gear and even the white gear you spawn with D1 really needed transmog and custom gear colors
My friends started playing the game at launch. I didn't join them until house of wolves. Within three weeks I had both gjallarhorn (from my first ever nightfall) and thorn. A few of my friends were pissed, because they already had hundreds of hours in the game without getting them. One friend played all the way up to the taken king without getting the gjallarhorn. So he had to buy it from xur, just a week before it got nerfed. Poor guy.
Remember getting thorn and last word year one when they were starting to ramp up in usage. Hated using hand cannons because of how the recoil’s animated.
What about the original D2 pinnacle grind that only awarded +1 power and the only way to get higher was until all your weapons and gear were +1 before +2 gear dropped
Seeing some of this stuff really makes me think just what on earth was I doing with my life... Thinking of all the grinds I went through for pretty much everything on this list. All the D1 stuff, Solstice armor for all 3 characters etc. Where did I find all the time and enjoyment to do that, crazy man wtf.
There was one solstice event, I think it actually might be the one in the video, but competing all three sets of solstice armor rewarded you with the EV-37 Voidstreak sparrow. I distinctly remember this, because I was the first one in my clan to get legendary sets for all three classes, and I bragged about being first hahhaha.
DRB with full auto was so insane. When I was going through old clips trying to find stuff with original NF/Luna the DRB clips were just cracking me up. It was unreal
We had a static group in d1, we all got lucky and maxed out pretty easily. I remember standing in the tower and having people spam us asking to take them through vog. We spent every night running multiple carry groups through the vog. It was a peak gaming time in my life.
MTop's quest is the main reason I'm thankful Bungo got rid of pinnacle quests. Still remember rocking Fighting Lion, Militia's Birthright and Edge Transit during forsaken/black armory for a shit ton of games until I got it. That and Luna´s Howl's quest are the reason I barely touch Crucible to this day. Loved the weapon to death, definitely one of my favorites in the game and having it brought back thanks to Into the Light made me really happy, but that quest can eat a bag of dicks.
Every part of ttk exotics was a grind and a half. Just hearing players today complain about an exotic quest, you know they ain't been doing it that long
With the forever 29, you could only get helmets from atheon on hard mode. But exotics also would drop at 30 so you could use a exotic helm till you got a legendary one. I got lucky with a helm and vex mythoclast on my first hard run. But then got screwed with the thorn quest dropping to my hunter who didn't have a void subclass back then. Had to use atheon's epilogue
Idk what those people were doing at that Templar DPS phase at 1:15 😅 shooting with an AR 2 other people just jumping around and 1 just sitting in the bubble doing nothing I’d be pissed if that was my raid team 😭😭
I grinded solstice of heros for the ship, then they released the same ship model 2-3 months after, for the dawning, i gave up the hardcore grind after this, have been a casual since. Maybe this is a blessing though because i still enjoy the game unlike my clan mates who say typical doom posting destiny comments.
i will never forget the savathuns song strike in d2 where it was near impossible to complete to unlock the thorn and the original grind for malfeasence
I tell you what though, while that Thorn quest did require a bit to much from the player when I finally unlocked mine I stood and cheered. I was so happy to get the weapon. It is still one of my favorite moment from D1 or D2 and a hell of a lot more fun that just buying Thorn from the exotic kiosk like you do now.
I know grinding isn’t exactly the most well liked of things, but some of my best memories on D1 were spent doing just that. Thanks for the nostalgia trip :’)
Farming Escalation Protocol weapons and the original 5 catalysts were such dark times. There was also the planetary emblem variants which, although provided no benefits beyond cosmetic, were a crazy grind. The original Malfeasance grind was also horrific. Having to get a super rare boss that can only spawn on the max curse week and having to win the match. This was also the dreaded era of the Queenbreaker invaders. I actually did enjoy the original Solstice event grind, with the exception of the high value targets. Oh yeah, and the 2500 Iron Banner burden kills made my hairline recede.
There were so many good aspects of D1. The complexity or severity of these grinds may turn some people off, but id argue its part of the reason D1 was so special. Wish we gad this kind of depth again
I got so lucky in the “forever 29” days, got to level 30 on all my characters very fast and I remember it got you fireteam invites constantly….great time honestly
God back in the day opening the door to VoG was considered a difficult endeavor. Thats as far as i ever got in vanilla d1 before taken ling and all i got was the hunter cloak XD
For me the Season 3 Faction catalysts and then Iron Burden not too long after were the worst. Turned me off of the game for a while. The main problem with many of these grinds is that they are time limited. I would have liked to go for Claymore, but it was just way to restrictive with how long you have to do so.
Ohhh the grind of D1... I had to run Crota's raid so many times until I got the boots to drop for me (needed to level up). RNG was so cruel to me that I never got Gjallarhorn. Crota always gave me Mida Multitool (probably over 20). At least I got Crux of Crota 4 times. Go figure...
I grinded that Solstice of Heroes event when it came out and got the exotic ship for completing all three characters and to this day I never take it off
One of the biggest grinds of my destiny career was the taniks cloak in d1. I soloed the entire strike for that thing like 150 times😅 Took me forever… The scion cloaks were quite the grind too. I miss unique loot like that
You know what is always a horrible grind in destiny when you realize that you have run out of the currency you need and then subsequently realize that you also don’t have enough other currency to make your life just a little bit easier and then it becomes juggling currencies back and forth until you don’t need them and then magically you get a ton of what you don’t need at the time and yet you still manage to run out by the time you need these currencies again and then the horrible painful loop inside of a loop begins all over again yeah it sucks
That grind for 30 is and will always be my favorite part of the game. D1 exotics felt great to get and beating the raid was rewarding. Back when you would do every activity on each character every week, now there's just so much to do it's too time consuming
bro i was so little when i played destiny 1 im only 19 now and, the sword quest brought me to tears i would get so mad fighting the hive boss for dark drinker

Bolt caster is obviously the best...
RANGED. ATTACK.
The chapter to skip the ad is not right lol I almost skipped the whole video
@@jackyvalencia77 Sometimes I make those manually but this time it did it automatically and it probably did a bad job lol, thanks I will adjust them
Shout out to everyone who got the faction exotic ornaments. Grinding 30-50 hours of Lost Sectors within a week was definitely something.
I got them and I don't even use them 😔
New monarchy class item for warlocks is one of my favorites
getting the eye of another world ornament was hell
Dead orbit exotic cloak never comes off
I still rock the dead orbit ornaments on my Hunter for my Orpheus Build. It works out perfect with one of the ornaments. What a grinddddd
Hearing the phrase "forever 29" after all these years gave me chills.
Literally hit level 30 the day before dark below came out and only because Xur sold the glasshouse exotic titan helmet. Couldn't get the helmet from hard mode vog to drop for me ever
to this day my d1 hunter is 399 because up untill destiny 2 came out i couldnt get a fucking light 400 ghost shell

Dude same… it almost makes me cry how much time we used to waste just to see if we like a weapon or not
@@drdouchenozzle3556yeah being 23 i regret putting alot of time in d2 or d1 bcs I spent hours and sleepless nights grinding
Doesn’t even feel worth it

Yeah I don’t miss that .

My most challenging grind is figuring out what I'm supposed to do.
So many quests in my inventory and I've got a dash of the 80 HiDef
It's less what you're "supposed to do" and more what you want to do. If there's an exotic that sounds fun, do the exotic quest. If you see a video on an activity you want to do, get the quest to go do it :)

Man I completely forgot about SRL.
A proud Reckoner player, I hated getting it solo but I liked how the title sounded.
You and me both 😂
Or fighting teammates for motes😂
The fight to get Massacre Medals in Gambit Prime hurt me the most. I loved getting 11/12 kills just for my team to “help” and kill the twelfth.
Trying to get the meatball as the boss was a pain and then just for the opposite team to kill theirs first was even more painful.
Us D1 Year 1 vets remember the pain of trying to grind for Gjallarhorn.

the touch of malice quest was HELL
16:17 *Shudders in never being able to go into IB in those days*
Seeing the dusk rock blues shotgun gave me chills I miss that weapon so much 😢😢
7:09 i remember this, on Mars you'd get the resources, sparrow out of the zone come back quickly and farm it like that haha crazy crazy grind!
Climbing that mountain for the touch of malice quest nearly broke me

For me the Season 3 Faction catalysts and then Iron Burden not too long after were the worst. Turned me off of the game for a while. The main problem with many of these grinds is that they are time limited. I would have liked to go for Claymore, but it was just way to restrictive with how long you have to do so.

You know what is always a horrible grind in destiny when you realize that you have run out of the currency you need and then subsequently realize that you also don’t have enough other currency to make your life just a little bit easier and then it becomes juggling currencies back and forth until you don’t need them and then magically you get a ton of what you don’t need at the time and yet you still manage to run out by the time you need these currencies again and then the horrible painful loop inside of a loop begins all over again yeah it sucks
That grind for 30 is and will always be my favorite part of the game. D1 exotics felt great to get and beating the raid was rewarding. Back when you would do every activity on each character every week, now there's just so much to do it's too time consuming
bro i was so little when i played destiny 1 im only 19 now and, the sword quest brought me to tears i would get so mad fighting the hive boss for dark drinker
I remember it took me 5 weeks to get Necrochasm in D1, and I kept getting the scout rifle as the final drop for all those weeks
Sagiras shell not being an honorable mention is horrendous
I've never gotten necrochasm
frustrating grind:
grinding quad 100s on hunter to match triple 100 builds of warlocks and titans e.e curse you near useless mobility stat
