Been here since vanilla D1. Destiny has been here for my high school graduation, then college, immigration, first car, first house and now wife. Crazy if we look back when we first started destiny.
I love that for you! Yeah, 10 years is crazy. I had just started college when the game came out. All of my high school friends went to the same one and I was stuck at community college. For the first few years of it's life, Destiny was quite literally an escape from how depressing my life felt. 10 years later, I got my degree after on and off working through it while working crappy jobs to keep afloat, I have almost an entirely different friend group of people who helped me get to where I am today, and still log into Destiny a few times a week to play with clanmates.
It’s crazy, I started my career 10 years ago, I met my wife 10 years ago, i started Destiny vanilla 10 years ago. All 3 coincide together. It’s kind of neat
D1 vets, including myself, remember this game very fondly, I still have it installed just in case I want to go back and play some of the missions for nostalgia
I really miss the dark fantasy aspects of Destiny. The pandering of content towards teen and preteen audiences in every modern game these days has really killed the sense of wonder and realism for me. Just look at how bad the last 3 halo games have been, infinite being the worst of the 3 in terms of storytelling due to the lack of impact or seriousness in terms of repercussions.
I still play Destiny 1 about every day. I am trying to 100% the game and the game still has a really fun core community. At this point I really prefer D1 over D2 as it is more laid back and simple.
@@whiteheat64gaming Laid back and simple is such a good way to describe it. Destiny 2 has arguably too many moving parts, something that drives new/casual players away. You're forced into using meta loadouts or not being able to play the content, which makes 3 quarters of all the exotic weapons and armor borderline unusable in endgame. Even the class abilities are so poorly balanced, a select few always stand out and the game ends up being balanced around a very specific playstyle or loadout which makes all others inferior. D2 has largely stopped being fun for me. I spend more time trying to make builds that will work than actually playing the game. And the endgame community is toxic and gatekeep-y as hell.
@@legacian4039 I agree, I played D2 and loved it all the way through Forsaken. After that it just got more and more complicated and time consuming. I played a little bit of Witch Queen and then quit once I realized the D2 I loved was pretty much all sun set and gone forever. I wish D2 was vanilla D2 through Forsaken, and that everything from Shadow Keep forwards was a “D3”.
I always wonder how my life would be if I started playing Destiny at the beginning. I understand that there were some bumps and bruises and a lot of people just have nostalgia but I wish I had that experience regardless.
It's an experience I definitely am glad I had, but you're totally correct that people have their rose colored glasses on about it. D2 vanilla was AWFUL, but d2 of today is far and away the better game vs D1.
God wish I never started. Beta player, still playing and the amount of time I’ve dumped into this series I can never get back. I’ve cut back A LOT but that’s still time I can never get back.
one thing for example tht d1 nailed and d2 is absolutely lacking is the loot chase I feek. getting an exotic or even a legendary at the start felt really good. tht mmo aspect in d2 is long gone and its very sad. I remember staying in the loot cave for hours and meeting ppl there to then do activities and vault of glass. and the feeling of a new world was super cool not knowing anything.
Sometimes I really want to go back to D1 with a fresh account and relive all of it. It still holds up so well despite console limitations and slower gameplay. But I do wish that Bungie would outsource a D1 PC port so that we could at least experience it with higher FPS and an FOV slider.
I was just teaching a group all the raids yesterday and they didn't even know it was hard mode and they did it flawlessly. They were flipping out with how well they did.
@@dingusarelius I did this year. I started 2 months ago and made it to power level 400. I got the Weapons that each raid LFG requires you to have. It was fun!!
Hey if your ever doing vow again can you possibly hit me up , it’s the only raid I haven’t done and literally my whole fireteam has quit playing and it’s hard to find people doing it through LFG’s etc ❤
Destiny 1 was beyond lightening in a bottle. The most addictive game I have ever played and have such fond memories of. D1 Orbit music still makes me cry a little bit, it was so hopeful and captured the majesty of space.
Personally year 1-3 of D1 was magical. I enjoyed collecting those grimoire cards/points. Exploring all the worlds of D1 was great, beating VoG for the first time by pushing Atheon off the map with voidlocks. My team was 8th place for beating crota's end, I loved that raid even though it was generally hated. 2 manning it was so fun. I get why people say D2 is better than D1 in every way, maybe as a "game" standpoint yes, but D2 has never replicated that magic D1 had. It's not just nostalgia talking, just experience of playing both. Still hoping for that 3rd party emulation of D1 on PC, but I doubt that will EVER come, let alone an official release.
I played Destiny 1 since launch and have a lot of memories with the game. I remember how rare exotics were and even legendaries in the very beginning. All the OG clans too like Resolute, Bombsquad Kittens, Primal, 13 Devils
Easy to say when D1 only got updated content for 2 years. It didn't go on for long enough for them to feel the need to diversify what Destiny looks like.
Man I remember I first played destiny when the “taken king” expansion dropped , and i never looked back, been playing ever since , it feels like ages ago Now
The one thing I miss so much from d1 was the strike specific loot, go in a strike kill a boss and come out wearing their head or with their armor or even a gun that reflects the strike
Tried hopping into D1 crucible the other night and it was stuck at 1/12 for 5 minutes 😞 just ended up deleting it for space. And the tower was rlly full for me as well when I hopped on before. Thought I’d get into a match
It’s crazy to see the difference from 10 years ago. I played the Beta and had so much fun playing as a Titan. But also do agree that I wished they could have kept the original D2 campaigns (ie. Red War / Forsaken.) I know red war isn’t fondly remembered but I truly enjoyed the hell out of it and loved replay with heroic versions of the missions until they were taken out.
I remember skipping college on the launch day of D1. That game was so good. I miss those days before massive live service games. Also, Fatebringer, Black Hammer, and Gjallarhorn. Best loadout.
The game being unexplored and unknown in Destiny 1 was definitly a special time. I still remember in Rise of Iron where the meta for Aksis raid boss from Wrath of the Machine was everyone going with the exotic precursor of Falling Guillotine simply because it could hit multiple legs on the boss and cause more damage. But then 1 random dude goes to the Future War Cult, sees a clusterbomb rocket launcher roll being offered that week, buys it, uses it and in a raid suddenly had way more damage than the meta guys. Turned out he hit even more legs. The community went WILD that week when people heard what went on. Meta change months into the expansion simply through coincidence. Just like that. There wasn't a lack of deep dives in the community but it was just way smaller and people took it less serious.
25:00 when you were talking about getting drops in Crucible while going negative.... i was the first person i knew that had Ghorn. during launch week i played a crucible game that i went AFK in to make food. when i came back i saw completion screen and it gave me Ghorn. funny part is that wasnt even my first exotic... patience and time was.
Heyya Cross! Long time FFxiv player here from my knowledge, no. Not 1 major expansion story has ever been removed to make space. The only thing that comes to mind is when the base ARR MSQ had alot of the pointless fetch quests removed and thats about it. We have maps/modes removed to fixed or updated but never truely put into a content fault
I mean TBF they removed all of 1.0. and they did "stream line" ARR during shadowbringers getting rid of some quests to make it faster. And like the only things they REALLY! wanted to remove was stuff people just didn't like but I think it was more "were taking out the quests so you can do it on your own instead of being locked during the story" kinda thing from what I've heard.
1.0 was a masive failure on the older devs that spear headed the project. It was only reborn from it and still got updates + fixes as ARR was being made at the sane time. Only map that hasnt returned is a pvp mode from Rival Wings (Astralogo's) But XIV has never content vaulted anything thats paid for. Only made fixes to streamline stuff which as stated above were pointless to the games overall story.
Hopped on and met a guy named Grzela, he introduced me to his buddies and ended up taking me through all the raids in less than 2 hours, after a bit they told me they were speedrunners and when i looked them up they all hel one to two world records and all raid records, they taught me how to wall clip and skate on titan, it was a very fun experience
I still play Destiny 1. When it comes to PvP I play it a lot. Assuming it's a good PvP game Mode like "Mayhem" or "Combined Arms" as the featured crucible mode. My two favorite modes. Still a good amount of players playing to this day. Even though I miss the fast movement in Destiny 2, I'm fine with this because it isn't fast gameplay like in Destiny 2. It's slow and enjoyable. And I forgot how much I hate snipers in Destiny 1. They dominate the crucible. So glad they kept the game running still.
Also, personally, what I think Bungie should've done was end D2 after Forsaken and then began D3 at Beyond Light. Then they could've kept everything and players could go back into D2 and play Red War - Forsaken like we can now go back into D1 and play. Everything would still be there for players to revisit and new players to experience.
My son grinds D1 every day since a couple weeks back on my x1 and he have stoped play d2 Completly. And every time i walk by im jelous he got to experience it. Cus just at look at him play showes how much more soul they had in everything in maps, scenery, art, story, secrets , and the gemaplay upscale on my oled tv is not bad either. So i understand why he plays it, just sad for him not to experience the raids and get all the exotic raid Guns. I gave him a hint about necrocasm grind..and he sat for 4h loading in to same areas before the husk of the pit dropped. So fun see him actually grind for stuff instead of like d2..”talk to these 3guys and do a strike..here you have new exotic..”
Being more”boring” was what made D1 great. You actually feared encounters because you knew you had to work for things with a strategy. Couldn’t just nuke everything
I had just turned 14 and I remember booting it up for the first time at my dads house on the living room tv. I was hooked. I remember passing on Gally, and all the ups and downs. It’s kinda always been there. Hopefully Frontiers will give me the same feeling and vibe that watching D1 info videos from MoreConsole and Datto.
came just to comment that yes, i still play destiny 1. at least a couple times a month i play. its still very populated, i find crucible games quickly and strikes even faster. i still go lfg on xbox to do raids. its great.
19:11 This has always been my biggest gripe with Bungie. They took away the content that made me interested in D2 in the 1st place. The Red War and Forsaken were the reasons I got interested in the game, and that got taken away from me. I can’t even recommend the game to others anymore because I don’t know how to get them interested in a story that has no playable starting point
I bought two games at a Game Stop 3-for-$10 dollars sale and looked through everything they had for a third and picked Destiny TTK because I was in the vaguest sense aware it was a sci-fi game. Got home, didn't want to start one of the other games because I didn't have the time at that moment. Boom! Hooked forever. Not even sure I ever even put either of the other two games in my 360. Imperfect as it is, nothing bad can be said about D1 for me.
My friends and I still go on D1 and play. Been playing since it came out in 2014. When I got my 5, it was one of the top 3 games I transferred over. And, like was said here, it's almost always full of players at the Tower.
I got kicked out of my first ever VoG run in D1 because I got Hawkmoon from the exotic chest after the Templar, which was, at the time, the only place it could drop. I was a carry that didn't know the mechanics with a group that had been running it with the grenade cheese that were all trying to get it. Found another group the next day and beat it while using my Hawkmoon. lol... good times.
I played D1 several months back, loved it! Reminiscing in the tower and strikes - some of those things are hard to solo now. Climbed the mountain, hours of fun ❤. I miss siva
Hitman World pretty much seemed to have solved the content / season / destination issue. It’s all organized and put into tiles, and I think you can download it in parts. Been a while since
Wild this vid dropped as I was just finishing Shrine of Oryx 😄 I’m doing a nostalgia trip back through the campaign missions 😎 I do think D1 was better in some areas than D2, most notably sound design and music.
Man everytime I see D1 clips and vids it takes me back to simpler times when I wasn't responsible for so many things :') My PS3 and PS4 are sealed away in their boxes in my storage and seeing this always tempts me to boot it back up. Good good times but I'd probably get a headache going back to 30 fps after having 144+ fps on PC these last few yrs of D2
Hey that's how the Dark Souls community does the "Return to Lordran" event. Idk if it's annual, but a date is selected, gets spread around the Internet, and suddenly you get an active dark souls 1 for a day, or two. Maybe a week. Who knows!
Been playing D1 Crucible again for the past few days, and I am honestly having a blast. You find lobbies surprisingly quickly these days, and while the “Meta” options are limited, it feels like everything is still pretty balanced out. There’s plenty of room for you to try guns you haven’t touched in ages.
Old Warlords should’ve been brought back, doesn’t make sense that they’d stay dead. SIVA is tech. Also they ruined special ammo so people wouldn’t go back.
I played D1 off and on until about 2020. I would still login during the Holidays to play around with old stuff. I finally gave it up when I got a PS5. The First Descendant has kinda been my replacement for it, but nowhere near how much I enjoyed D1. It will always have a special place in my mind.
Played D1 since the first beta, and I really miss the game, and the sensation of the unknown and don't know what to expect when doing strikes and raids. This was such a nostalgia trip. I'm glad to have played this since the beginning, though I play D2 on and off nowadays, and I enjoy my time, still don't feel quite the same as the glory years of D1
The idea of a vanilla launch, I've been dreaming about it for a long time. Im still playing d1 btw im on a discord with ppl and we be doing raids and nf
To the point near the end talking about how rare exotics were and how hype we were when one dropped: I still have a photo I took of my TV back in 2015 where me and my brother played a nightfall and I finally got G-Horn and he got hawkmoon after months and months were we both wanted them so bad. One of the most hype moments I have ever had gaming so I will always keep that photo. P.S. the random 3rd on our team also got icebreaker, which if you played D1 you know how extremely powerful those 3 weapons were and how extremely rare it is for those to all 3 drop in one activity.
One thing worth noting is that jumping from Halo Reach or COD to Destiny was much smoother than starting Destiny 2 today. Base D1 was very simple and still felt like a Bungie game/classic shooter. Ask someone who plays Halo Infinite or modern CODs to try Destiny 2 today, and they would struggle to understand how the game flows. Destiny 2 kind of carved its own niche and is now very unapproachable to most.
YES!!!! Re-release D1 with every ounce of content it had from launch thru House of Wolves as a stand alone game on current gen consoles/PC. People deserve to experience D1 as it was and not the watered down version.
Been playing since the beta and man my mind was blown first time stepping into the cosmodrome. I was playing advanced warfare and my brother told me about the game
I remember seeing the trailer for destiny with my brother. Thought it looked awesome. Went to my friends played it there and just fell in love with the cosmodrome. Then went to another friend and told him take out cod from the Playstation and try this. We never looked back. I got my ps4 shortly after and the best times in gaming for me. Sure the game ain't perfect but still my favorite
I dont have consoles anymore but still have my disc copy of D1. Im done with destiny as a whole now but will always have the last ten years of memories
I remember having to do all kinds of workarounds for private scrims in pvp. And even helping ole fallout plays do testing. I only got to the lighthouse once, but I got the doctrine of passing with counterbalance and persistence. I miss it so much.
a couple years ago i bought a xbox to play d1 with my friend i honestly reccomend it i maxed all characters did all raids completed most of whats possible in the triumph books i remember me and him getting a match in a ironbanner playlist (they do exist but have like no population) and grinding out all the triumphs we could for the armor sets
I don't "regularly" play D1 but I play it far more than D2. I don't have any love for D2 but every time I come back to D1 it's just a good time. Recently got my friend to buy it! The entire collection is available for a only a few bucks on xbox as of at least a few days ago!
yes, still an active d1 player. started d2 launch then went back to play d1 around shadow keep time. and just kept going back to it because its frozen at such an enjoyable moment in time. im still not out of things to do/run. and im having more fun than the constant changes that lead nowhere in d2.
@24:23 that was literally my same reaction to finishing the D1 campaign. Because of my boy's halo tradition of beating campaign on legendary first before playing pvp, my fireteam did just that. And at the end of the boss fight after this midnight (or whatever time it was ) release, that we stayed up and took off from work for, I went "wait thats it??? I dont understand anything!!" Lol
I’ve been saying this for a couple years now. I would LOVE like a stand alone just campaign game for nostalgias sake. All of them from D1 to now. I don’t have the time to play destiny anymore but I would love to just leisurely play through the campaign. But as someone pointed out it would be hard to do the parts where you have to be out in the world doing something but I think that could be solved by a cut schene or something.
I still remember my first exotic ever (hawkmoon) and accidentally buying ghally when it first came with xur. Didn't even know how good ghally was till friends told me
I'll still hop on D1 with a friend everyone once in a while. I do wish it was ported over to PC though. I kind of want Bungie to release a sub game simply known as the content vault, where all the old content is placed for people to play in single player or optional multi-player (I'm thinking in a way similar to Minecraft where you would have to invite them to a local server). This would allow people to mod the game or create custom maps and levels without messing with a global server. It would also allow for people to experience older content and control what content is down loaded on their system by picking and choosing thus solving Destiny's file size problem.
i played since day 1 destiny 1, i just recently decided to quit destiny 2 and wait until a new game happens. it was very good, i truly loved it. all the story, just wish certain things was improved. like the size of the game, or the rpg aspect of it. idk, i wish it was more scary too. good game, made friends... i miss everyone now years later.
I started playing Destiny again since I never played on warlock. I have fallen back in love with it and I have been playing it everyday leveling up to 40 and searching for god rolls.
Destiny 2 added 3 of coins in 2018 that was slightly different. It was a 4 hour buff that increased the chance you'd get an exotic at activity end by 50%. But it was bugged a lot of the time and actually decreased your chances and made it where you couldn't get them at all from heroic strikes. This was during Forsaken when exotics became extremely hard to get again, and there was no dup protection. Also, back then, doing an exotic weapon quest would then add those exotics to the loot pool of exotix engrams, making getting new ones even harder. Xur also didn't sell any new ones past year 1. This all added together to mean there was zero way to guarantee having an exotic drop(besides weapon quests, of course) and when you did get one to drop, most likely was from a weekly powerful, it was most likely an old weapon and since they were fixed rolls it was a wasted drop(unless you were power leveling then it'd be +5-6 base power). Exotics felt special back then and Forsaken exotics were so powerful that having one drop on the ground felt amazing, unlike today where they're pointless. The last exotic weapon to come from a random engram was Monty Carlo from Shadowkeep, sucks they removed that as random exotics were always a fun chase in a new expansion. When they went to armor 2.0 and added discipline, intellect and strength to exotics it became another huge grind for vetren players. Exotics you already had became useless and collection rolls are 40 something statted, meaning you had to fsrm out each and exotic armor peice again. Vetrens with all previous exotics had the worst time because of dup protection. New players could just farm them, and with the dup system guarantee they'd get every exotic with a decent roll(above 60) 1 at a time until they had them all. Us vetrens would first get all the new exotics, and then it was all luck until we eventually got the rest. Since dup didn't work anymore as you technically had every old exotic, it was completely random, meaning we had to suffer using 40 rolls for ages. Getting down to the last 1 or 2 exotics for a specific class was brutal. Geomags was my last armor 2.0 exotic, which sucked because it was meta in pvp at the time(and good in pve), and I was stuck with a 40 roll for many many months. Now, getting the new exotics is the worst it ever has been. Lost sector farming was a good system, imo and I enjoyed going to farm them each season. I do understand new players had a hard time getting them all that way, and they needed a different system but forcing it onto all of us is a stupid fucking system. Now, each expansion season, you just horde exotics in your inventory and save all your season pass ones then day 1 of a season(Episode) just turn them all in, then pull from last season from the website until you reset then just buy them.......extremly stupid and boring. It also uses up your cyphers, though you get them all again from the pass and vendors. Why the fuck did they completely remove the lost sector and Vex Offensive method(makes more sense, old destination)? If ppl didn't wanna do sectors, use the new system, but for those that do, like me and every single other hardcore player I know, let us do sectors. We like farming, it's why we play Destiny in the first place, we don't like sitting at a vendor for 10 mins spamming a button. It was the last remaining random system for exotic armor left in the game.
I still remember the first time I saw the destiny 1 game ads and I commit that I will play that game, and then knowing that it will only available on console I'm disappointed, because I don't play on console anymore since PS3, then after a long wait when destiny 2 launch and available on PC I immediately bought it and still playing until now, never skip a season.
19:20 on the topic of making old campaigns downloadable, the only issue for bungie to solve to make it work would be updating content for engine updates that were made with shadowkeep. as for the items you earn from those campaigns, that already shouldnt be an issue because we can still use items we earned back then. i still have tons of weapons and armor in my vault from back then and they’re in our collections
I'm sad about the way I mostly missed the Destiny 1 experience. I remember being so excited for Destiny, midnight release and everything, after playing Halo for so long. My buddy showed me the loot cave and we were there for hours. I thought that was the main looting experience of the game and I never played it again. I didn't play again until Beyond Light and I've put in almost 4k hours since. Though It was probably good for the progression of my life that I didn't become addicted until my life was in a successful state. Lol
I still play d1 when i just want to chill or ive completed everything i need to do in d2 . I like playing my d1 characters but keep the 3rd character slot to make a new character using 400 sparrow racing armor and the skeleton head with the 400 ghost ghost .its just fun
Playing Destiny since the Beta of Destiny 1. I made so many great Memorys with the Game, i found my first real Girlfriend in this game lol, i made so many friends due to our clan back then some moved on and one of them even died... RIP Kunibert..... fuck Cancer....! Nowdays barely anyone i know plays the game on a daily bases and i might be the only survivor that still playes this game to this day allmost every day or week at least once... i started playing this game when i was 17... now im 27 i have a wife and a daughter i really cant imagine a life without the game anymore. i even have Cayde 6 tattoed on my body lol...

Destiny 1 is a dark fantasy while Destiny 2 is Marvel universe
agreed
I really miss the dark fantasy aspects of Destiny. The pandering of content towards teen and preteen audiences in every modern game these days has really killed the sense of wonder and realism for me.
Just look at how bad the last 3 halo games have been, infinite being the worst of the 3 in terms of storytelling due to the lack of impact or seriousness in terms of repercussions.
Well said
Disagree. D1 actually has a far more optimistic vibe to it.
REAL
I met my wife through a mutual friend. We played D1 together.

Destiny 1 was beyond lightening in a bottle. The most addictive game I have ever played and have such fond memories of. D1 Orbit music still makes me cry a little bit, it was so hopeful and captured the majesty of space.
Destiny 1 was probably the best gaming experience I’ve ever had. Really wish I could go back and relive it all over again :p
Same. I still reminisce about the when I started playing during the TTK to ROI transition.
Personally year 1-3 of D1 was magical. I enjoyed collecting those grimoire cards/points. Exploring all the worlds of D1 was great, beating VoG for the first time by pushing Atheon off the map with voidlocks. My team was 8th place for beating crota's end, I loved that raid even though it was generally hated. 2 manning it was so fun. I get why people say D2 is better than D1 in every way, maybe as a "game" standpoint yes, but D2 has never replicated that magic D1 had. It's not just nostalgia talking, just experience of playing both. Still hoping for that 3rd party emulation of D1 on PC, but I doubt that will EVER come, let alone an official release.
I played Destiny 1 since launch and have a lot of memories with the game. I remember how rare exotics were and even legendaries in the very beginning. All the OG clans too like Resolute, Bombsquad Kittens, Primal, 13 Devils
8:00 Destiny went through "Marvelfication", that's why D1 still looks unqiue and has that aesthetic that stands out.
Easy to say when D1 only got updated content for 2 years. It didn't go on for long enough for them to feel the need to diversify what Destiny looks like.
Still playing D1 weekly here, shame no Trials on the weekend but other than that it's just pure fun
Man I remember I first played destiny when the “taken king” expansion dropped , and i never looked back, been playing ever since , it feels like ages ago
Now
If they brought D1 to PC with 60 FPS I would hands down buy it again to relive that game. A reasonable price is 30$
I miss doing patrols on venus and helping random teams doing the start of vault of glass. Was always fun.
Even through all the ups and downs this game has given me so many great memories. This game truly is Legend.
The one thing I miss so much from d1 was the strike specific loot, go in a strike kill a boss and come out wearing their head or with their armor or even a gun that reflects the strike
I still play it every now and then when I get pissed about D2.
Tried hopping into D1 crucible the other night and it was stuck at 1/12 for 5 minutes 😞 just ended up deleting it for space. And the tower was rlly full for me as well when I hopped on before. Thought I’d get into a match
I play it more then D2.. When ever I feel like playing I just go and dust off my xbox one
Do u buy a subscription?
It’s crazy to see the difference from 10 years ago. I played the Beta and had so much fun playing as a Titan.
But also do agree that I wished they could have kept the original D2 campaigns (ie. Red War / Forsaken.) I know red war isn’t fondly remembered but I truly enjoyed the hell out of it and loved replay with heroic versions of the missions until they were taken out.
D1 has recently had a price cut on PS incase anyone was wondering
And xbox only $29.95 AUD
I remember skipping college on the launch day of D1. That game was so good. I miss those days before massive live service games.
Also, Fatebringer, Black Hammer, and Gjallarhorn. Best loadout.
The game being unexplored and unknown in Destiny 1 was definitly a special time. I still remember in Rise of Iron where the meta for Aksis raid boss from Wrath of the Machine was everyone going with the exotic precursor of Falling Guillotine simply because it could hit multiple legs on the boss and cause more damage. But then 1 random dude goes to the Future War Cult, sees a clusterbomb rocket launcher roll being offered that week, buys it, uses it and in a raid suddenly had way more damage than the meta guys. Turned out he hit even more legs. The community went WILD that week when people heard what went on. Meta change months into the expansion simply through coincidence. Just like that.
There wasn't a lack of deep dives in the community but it was just way smaller and people took it less serious.
25:00 when you were talking about getting drops in Crucible while going negative.... i was the first person i knew that had Ghorn. during launch week i played a crucible game that i went AFK in to make food. when i came back i saw completion screen and it gave me Ghorn. funny part is that wasnt even my first exotic... patience and time was.
Heyya Cross! Long time FFxiv player here from my knowledge, no. Not 1 major expansion story has ever been removed to make space. The only thing that comes to mind is when the base ARR MSQ had alot of the pointless fetch quests removed and thats about it. We have maps/modes removed to fixed or updated but never truely put into a content fault
I mean TBF they removed all of 1.0.
and they did "stream line" ARR during shadowbringers getting rid of some quests to make it faster.
And like the only things they REALLY! wanted to remove was stuff people just didn't like but I think it was more "were taking out the quests so you can do it on your own instead of being locked during the story" kinda thing from what I've heard.
1.0 was a masive failure on the older devs that spear headed the project. It was only reborn from it and still got updates + fixes as ARR was being made at the sane time. Only map that hasnt returned is a pvp mode from Rival Wings (Astralogo's)
But XIV has never content vaulted anything thats paid for. Only made fixes to streamline stuff which as stated above were pointless to the games overall story.
Hopped on and met a guy named Grzela, he introduced me to his buddies and ended up taking me through all the raids in less than 2 hours, after a bit they told me they were speedrunners and when i looked them up they all hel one to two world records and all raid records, they taught me how to wall clip and skate on titan, it was a very fun experience
I still play Destiny 1. When it comes to PvP I play it a lot. Assuming it's a good PvP game Mode like "Mayhem" or "Combined Arms" as the featured crucible mode. My two favorite modes. Still a good amount of players playing to this day.
Even though I miss the fast movement in Destiny 2, I'm fine with this because it isn't fast gameplay like in Destiny 2. It's slow and enjoyable. And I forgot how much I hate snipers in Destiny 1. They dominate the crucible.
So glad they kept the game running still.
D1 Beta Veteran and a crayola eater till today. The intro music still gives me chills.
I agree it does give me chills
Back when things like scout rifles and sniper rifles were the PvE meta. Burning Eye and Ex Machina were the kings.
Still piercer
I love the rocket launcher from wrath of machines
Also, personally, what I think Bungie should've done was end D2 after Forsaken and then began D3 at Beyond Light. Then they could've kept everything and players could go back into D2 and play Red War - Forsaken like we can now go back into D1 and play. Everything would still be there for players to revisit and new players to experience.
Yep. Just started playing it a week ago. I'm hooked.
My son grinds D1 every day since a couple weeks back on my x1 and he have stoped play d2 Completly.
And every time i walk by im jelous he got to experience it. Cus just at look at him play showes how much more soul they had in everything in maps, scenery, art, story, secrets , and the gemaplay upscale on my oled tv is not bad either. So i understand why he plays it, just sad for him not to experience the raids and get all the exotic raid Guns. I gave him a hint about necrocasm grind..and he sat for 4h loading in to same areas before the husk of the pit dropped. So fun see him actually grind for stuff instead of like d2..”talk to these 3guys and do a strike..here you have new exotic..”
Being more”boring” was what made D1 great. You actually feared encounters because you knew you had to work for things with a strategy. Couldn’t just nuke everything
It is a tough problem to work around tbh
I refuse to play these meta prismatic classes for reasons like this. I am still holding onto my Titan Bubble since D1 haha
I had just turned 14 and I remember booting it up for the first time at my dads house on the living room tv. I was hooked. I remember passing on Gally, and all the ups and downs. It’s kinda always been there. Hopefully Frontiers will give me the same feeling and vibe that watching D1 info videos from MoreConsole and Datto.
Me! I still love raiding in D1
What's your tag. I'm TheArTiCpHoEniX
Ya mine is vihu_champ12
came just to comment that yes, i still play destiny 1. at least a couple times a month i play. its still very populated, i find crucible games quickly and strikes even faster. i still go lfg on xbox to do raids. its great.
19:11 This has always been my biggest gripe with Bungie. They took away the content that made me interested in D2 in the 1st place. The Red War and Forsaken were the reasons I got interested in the game, and that got taken away from me. I can’t even recommend the game to others anymore because I don’t know how to get them interested in a story that has no playable starting point
I bought two games at a Game Stop 3-for-$10 dollars sale and looked through everything they had for a third and picked Destiny TTK because I was in the vaguest sense aware it was a sci-fi game. Got home, didn't want to start one of the other games because I didn't have the time at that moment. Boom! Hooked forever. Not even sure I ever even put either of the other two games in my 360. Imperfect as it is, nothing bad can be said about D1 for me.
just finished my third sword quest today
Which one?
Never did one 💀
@@Sypitzbolt caster, start with dark drinker then raze lighter then bolt caster
I recently went in and created a new Titan. I haven’t been on it in a couple of months, but I did restart the campaign. Love it!
Reinstalling D1 to be nostalgic as we speak!
My friends and I still go on D1 and play. Been playing since it came out in 2014. When I got my 5, it was one of the top 3 games I transferred over. And, like was said here, it's almost always full of players at the Tower.
Yes. I do. Literally last week to do some Sparrow Racing and Combined Arms. I miss it so bad...
We use VOG as a corporate training tool to see how new employees interact and collaborate in a novel setting. Pretty chill stuff tbh.
Sparrow Racing?? I thought that was shuttered with the second Dawning and wasn’t in the game anymore! You’re telling me I can still play SRL??
@@gascan7333 only in customs
@@randomstuff_21 what? How?
SRL was in D1 in 2016 which last i checked wasn't last week. Why you lying?
I got kicked out of my first ever VoG run in D1 because I got Hawkmoon from the exotic chest after the Templar, which was, at the time, the only place it could drop. I was a carry that didn't know the mechanics with a group that had been running it with the grenade cheese that were all trying to get it. Found another group the next day and beat it while using my Hawkmoon. lol... good times.
Unknown Player, what an OG, I used to watch him during the glory days for D1 Y1
He was my go to source anytime I was stuck.
I played D1 several months back, loved it! Reminiscing in the tower and strikes - some of those things are hard to solo now. Climbed the mountain, hours of fun ❤. I miss siva
Yep I still play on occasion when I feel like Playing Destiny I'll play D1
Hitman World pretty much seemed to have solved the content / season / destination issue. It’s all organized and put into tiles, and I think you can download it in parts. Been a while since
Wild this vid dropped as I was just finishing Shrine of Oryx 😄
I’m doing a nostalgia trip back through the campaign missions 😎
I do think D1 was better in some areas than D2, most notably sound design and music.
Fun fact, guns echo based off room size unlike destiny 2
Man everytime I see D1 clips and vids it takes me back to simpler times when I wasn't responsible for so many things :') My PS3 and PS4 are sealed away in their boxes in my storage and seeing this always tempts me to boot it back up. Good good times but I'd probably get a headache going back to 30 fps after having 144+ fps on PC these last few yrs of D2
I should do a ritual every new year play D1 for one day I guess 😂
Hey that's how the Dark Souls community does the "Return to Lordran" event. Idk if it's annual, but a date is selected, gets spread around the Internet, and suddenly you get an active dark souls 1 for a day, or two. Maybe a week. Who knows!
Been playing D1 Crucible again for the past few days, and I am honestly having a blast.
You find lobbies surprisingly quickly these days, and while the “Meta” options are limited, it feels like everything is still pretty balanced out. There’s plenty of room for you to try guns you haven’t touched in ages.
Old Warlords should’ve been brought back, doesn’t make sense that they’d stay dead. SIVA is tech.
Also they ruined special ammo so people wouldn’t go back.
We have outbreak and exodus black so siva 100% still exists.
@@Lorentz_DriverSIVA was supposed to be on that crashed rocket on Nessus but Luke Smith hates SIVA and was like nah
D1 will always hold a special place in my heart. Good ol loot caves haha
The sniping reminding me how Halo used to be before it changed. I loved it.
06:27 unc was looking ROUGH in D1 💀💀
I played D1 off and on until about 2020. I would still login during the Holidays to play around with old stuff. I finally gave it up when I got a PS5. The First Descendant has kinda been my replacement for it, but nowhere near how much I enjoyed D1. It will always have a special place in my mind.
I’m so bored of D2 I went back and did the old campaigns and it’s still so good
Played D1 since the first beta, and I really miss the game, and the sensation of the unknown and don't know what to expect when doing strikes and raids.
This was such a nostalgia trip. I'm glad to have played this since the beginning, though I play D2 on and off nowadays, and I enjoy my time, still don't feel quite the same as the glory years of D1
Why were the destiny one graphics low-key better?
Lighting, not graphics. D1 graphics are obviously more jagged, but the moody lighting was peak. D2 is too clean.
I recently came back playing pre-ROI Destiny 1 on my PS3. Surprisingly, I found so many other players! The atmosphere of this game is unmatched
The idea of a vanilla launch, I've been dreaming about it for a long time. Im still playing d1 btw im on a discord with ppl and we be doing raids and nf
Can i join??
To the point near the end talking about how rare exotics were and how hype we were when one dropped: I still have a photo I took of my TV back in 2015 where me and my brother played a nightfall and I finally got G-Horn and he got hawkmoon after months and months were we both wanted them so bad. One of the most hype moments I have ever had gaming so I will always keep that photo.
P.S. the random 3rd on our team also got icebreaker, which if you played D1 you know how extremely powerful those 3 weapons were and how extremely rare it is for those to all 3 drop in one activity.
D1 remastered for PC. Please
Sony should hire another studio solely for bringing back D1 and D2 stuff back in as optional downloads.
One thing worth noting is that jumping from Halo Reach or COD to Destiny was much smoother than starting Destiny 2 today. Base D1 was very simple and still felt like a Bungie game/classic shooter. Ask someone who plays Halo Infinite or modern CODs to try Destiny 2 today, and they would struggle to understand how the game flows. Destiny 2 kind of carved its own niche and is now very unapproachable to most.
YES!!!! Re-release D1 with every ounce of content it had from launch thru House of Wolves as a stand alone game on current gen consoles/PC. People deserve to experience D1 as it was and not the watered down version.
I jump on D1 from time to time and it’s still quite active. Even today the gameplay is still solid and I enjoy playing it.
3:50 i was doing so good in my recovery, 4 years sober of Destiny(2) this year…
I need to stay strong
Been playing since the beta and man my mind was blown first time stepping into the cosmodrome. I was playing advanced warfare and my brother told me about the game
i still go and play D1 every few weeks or so cos things feel better there pvp wise, my beloved havoc pigeon
Started play d1 a few days ago and realize trying to solo raids is some of the best fun I’ve ever had playing this game
I remember seeing the trailer for destiny with my brother. Thought it looked awesome. Went to my friends played it there and just fell in love with the cosmodrome. Then went to another friend and told him take out cod from the Playstation and try this. We never looked back. I got my ps4 shortly after and the best times in gaming for me. Sure the game ain't perfect but still my favorite
I got into destiny after its release when i saw gameplay of Vex Mythoclast. Me seeing that weapon drew me into destiny and i havent shifted since
I've been playing since the 1st look Alpha and I still go back to D1 just to soak in the nostalgia...good times.
I dont have consoles anymore but still have my disc copy of D1. Im done with destiny as a whole now but will always have the last ten years of memories
I remember having to do all kinds of workarounds for private scrims in pvp. And even helping ole fallout plays do testing. I only got to the lighthouse once, but I got the doctrine of passing with counterbalance and persistence. I miss it so much.
a couple years ago i bought a xbox to play d1 with my friend
i honestly reccomend it
i maxed all characters did all raids completed most of whats possible in the triumph books
i remember me and him getting a match in a ironbanner playlist (they do exist but have like no population) and grinding out all the triumphs we could for the armor sets
I don't "regularly" play D1 but I play it far more than D2.
I don't have any love for D2 but every time I come back to D1 it's just a good time. Recently got my friend to buy it!
The entire collection is available for a only a few bucks on xbox as of at least a few days ago!
yes, still an active d1 player. started d2 launch then went back to play d1 around shadow keep time. and just kept going back to it because its frozen at such an enjoyable moment in time. im still not out of things to do/run. and im having more fun than the constant changes that lead nowhere in d2.
@24:23 that was literally my same reaction to finishing the D1 campaign. Because of my boy's halo tradition of beating campaign on legendary first before playing pvp, my fireteam did just that. And at the end of the boss fight after this midnight (or whatever time it was ) release, that we stayed up and took off from work for, I went "wait thats it??? I dont understand anything!!" Lol
Im still playing Destiny 1 and just perfecting my builds. My brother has it from ps3-ps5
I’ve been saying this for a couple years now. I would LOVE like a stand alone just campaign game for nostalgias sake. All of them from D1 to now. I don’t have the time to play destiny anymore but I would love to just leisurely play through the campaign. But as someone pointed out it would be hard to do the parts where you have to be out in the world doing something but I think that could be solved by a cut schene or something.
I still remember my first exotic ever (hawkmoon) and accidentally buying ghally when it first came with xur. Didn't even know how good ghally was till friends told me
8:10 The weekly rotation for the selector on the bottom left of the Nav was peak.. it was better than a bunch of labels like we have now in D2.
13:30 there was no other exotic I wanted more. On initial release you could use both your dashes and hit max speed attainable. Was unbelievable
I'll still hop on D1 with a friend everyone once in a while. I do wish it was ported over to PC though. I kind of want Bungie to release a sub game simply known as the content vault, where all the old content is placed for people to play in single player or optional multi-player (I'm thinking in a way similar to Minecraft where you would have to invite them to a local server). This would allow people to mod the game or create custom maps and levels without messing with a global server. It would also allow for people to experience older content and control what content is down loaded on their system by picking and choosing thus solving Destiny's file size problem.
i played since day 1 destiny 1, i just recently decided to quit destiny 2 and wait until a new game happens. it was very good, i truly loved it. all the story, just wish certain things was improved. like the size of the game, or the rpg aspect of it. idk, i wish it was more scary too. good game, made friends... i miss everyone now years later.
I started playing Destiny again since I never played on warlock. I have fallen back in love with it and I have been playing it everyday leveling up to 40 and searching for god rolls.
Exotic bounties were amazing grinding w friends for juju or thorn and finally seeing the bounty drop was amazing
Destiny 2 added 3 of coins in 2018 that was slightly different. It was a 4 hour buff that increased the chance you'd get an exotic at activity end by 50%. But it was bugged a lot of the time and actually decreased your chances and made it where you couldn't get them at all from heroic strikes. This was during Forsaken when exotics became extremely hard to get again, and there was no dup protection. Also, back then, doing an exotic weapon quest would then add those exotics to the loot pool of exotix engrams, making getting new ones even harder. Xur also didn't sell any new ones past year 1. This all added together to mean there was zero way to guarantee having an exotic drop(besides weapon quests, of course) and when you did get one to drop, most likely was from a weekly powerful, it was most likely an old weapon and since they were fixed rolls it was a wasted drop(unless you were power leveling then it'd be +5-6 base power). Exotics felt special back then and Forsaken exotics were so powerful that having one drop on the ground felt amazing, unlike today where they're pointless. The last exotic weapon to come from a random engram was Monty Carlo from Shadowkeep, sucks they removed that as random exotics were always a fun chase in a new expansion. When they went to armor 2.0 and added discipline, intellect and strength to exotics it became another huge grind for vetren players. Exotics you already had became useless and collection rolls are 40 something statted, meaning you had to fsrm out each and exotic armor peice again. Vetrens with all previous exotics had the worst time because of dup protection. New players could just farm them, and with the dup system guarantee they'd get every exotic with a decent roll(above 60) 1 at a time until they had them all. Us vetrens would first get all the new exotics, and then it was all luck until we eventually got the rest. Since dup didn't work anymore as you technically had every old exotic, it was completely random, meaning we had to suffer using 40 rolls for ages. Getting down to the last 1 or 2 exotics for a specific class was brutal. Geomags was my last armor 2.0 exotic, which sucked because it was meta in pvp at the time(and good in pve), and I was stuck with a 40 roll for many many months. Now, getting the new exotics is the worst it ever has been. Lost sector farming was a good system, imo and I enjoyed going to farm them each season. I do understand new players had a hard time getting them all that way, and they needed a different system but forcing it onto all of us is a stupid fucking system. Now, each expansion season, you just horde exotics in your inventory and save all your season pass ones then day 1 of a season(Episode) just turn them all in, then pull from last season from the website until you reset then just buy them.......extremly stupid and boring. It also uses up your cyphers, though you get them all again from the pass and vendors. Why the fuck did they completely remove the lost sector and Vex Offensive method(makes more sense, old destination)? If ppl didn't wanna do sectors, use the new system, but for those that do, like me and every single other hardcore player I know, let us do sectors. We like farming, it's why we play Destiny in the first place, we don't like sitting at a vendor for 10 mins spamming a button. It was the last remaining random system for exotic armor left in the game.
Sparrow Racing League still exists in D1 as a custom Crucible mode. There's no matchmaking but you can still make a clan night out of it.
I still remember the first time I saw the destiny 1 game ads and I commit that I will play that game, and then knowing that it will only available on console I'm disappointed, because I don't play on console anymore since PS3, then after a long wait when destiny 2 launch and available on PC I immediately bought it and still playing until now, never skip a season.
Just jumped back in to D1 on PS5 Pro and the new enhanced PS4 mode the game looks really clean!
19:20 on the topic of making old campaigns downloadable, the only issue for bungie to solve to make it work would be updating content for engine updates that were made with shadowkeep. as for the items you earn from those campaigns, that already shouldnt be an issue because we can still use items we earned back then. i still have tons of weapons and armor in my vault from back then and they’re in our collections
Siva will be in Destiny Rising so I guess that’s something to look forward to lol
I'm sad about the way I mostly missed the Destiny 1 experience. I remember being so excited for Destiny, midnight release and everything, after playing Halo for so long. My buddy showed me the loot cave and we were there for hours. I thought that was the main looting experience of the game and I never played it again.
I didn't play again until Beyond Light and I've put in almost 4k hours since. Though It was probably good for the progression of my life that I didn't become addicted until my life was in a successful state. Lol
I still play d1 when i just want to chill or ive completed everything i need to do in d2 . I like playing my d1 characters but keep the 3rd character slot to make a new character using 400 sparrow racing armor and the skeleton head with the 400 ghost ghost .its just fun
Playing Destiny since the Beta of Destiny 1. I made so many great Memorys with the Game, i found my first real Girlfriend in this game lol, i made so many friends due to our clan back then some moved on and one of them even died... RIP Kunibert..... fuck Cancer....! Nowdays barely anyone i know plays the game on a daily bases and i might be the only survivor that still playes this game to this day allmost every day or week at least once... i started playing this game when i was 17... now im 27 i have a wife and a daughter i really cant imagine a life without the game anymore. i even have Cayde 6 tattoed on my body lol...
I'll never forget getting my first GHorn. Got it from a legendary heavy engram about 2 months after the game launched.
