What Made Strikes Special In Destiny 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2023
- Original video was taken down, figured I would reupload this video and give myself a little more time for the next one coming out in a few days.
I probably butchered so many of the different boss names and gear names so hopefully you didn't cringe too hard. Also, don't take this video as my spouting hate for destiny 2, I really just wanted to talk about how strike specific loot is one of my favorite things about destiny 1.

It is a shame that strike specific loot never returned, especially the enemy based class items
Umm are you ok? There is strike based loot in destiny 2
@@dylangriffin534those are nightfall loot and even those aren’t tied to any specific strike anymore. Just on a rotation now
I definitely liked D1 strikes better. Farming for the specific loot and random rolls made it fun to me. Something about strikes in D2 just makes them insignificant. I don’t ever do them and haven’t for some time.
If they brought strike specific armor back, it’d make D2 strikes perfect. They’re much better strikes, they just lack any good rewards which in turn makes them worse
Unfortunately the original video was taken down. Had to edit a bit of this video to get it back up on the channel

The sad part is Destiny 2 USED to have a system for Strike specific loot (At least for weapons), but for some dumb reason they canned it and now it’s just the system we have now, which isn’t nearly as interesting.
We really do need to return to the system from D1.
I believe bungie has stated that it was hurting new player numbers. Since someone would join a random strike, be one that doesn't have loot they want and just go to orbit. Meanwhile the blueberries are confused and can lose interest. (I don't really have an opinion on this topic just saying what they have said)
@@karson2022 Which is annoying because they could have added weapons and gear to strikes to give them reasons to go after.
All the first handful of strikes was Epic even before star by being masterfully briefed by the Vangard high command, Valus, Aksor, Phogoth, the Frayers and Sekrion, my two favorites Valus and Aksor
I forgot how unique strikes were in Destiny 1, not just because of the gear, but because the mechanics felt different compared to D2 strikes. The bosses too
D1 strikes had actual mechanics in them; in D2, health gatekeeping the boss is the only mechanic Bungie knows
Plus the narratives were also cooler and more mysterious, I wish they brought back the dialogue intros while flying in
And specific loot definitely needs to return asap, shit was wild and epic
Awesome video. Destiny 1 will always have a special place in my heart.
Man Hunters got the best Loot. That helmet capes were sick. And that Titan helmet was so awesome.
Warlocks we're also in the game. .....
strike specifics and heroic strike playlists made me grind the hell out of strikes
we did actually have this come back for a little bit, We got those sparrows from the red war season from doing the arms dealer and exodus crash then we never seen anymore come out.
D2 used to have SSL but it all got removed when the first sunsetting happened I’m glad I grinded hours on hours to get everything
rose tinted glasses.
no one played standard vanguard strikes in D2 either. We ran the nightfalls for the weapon, just like D2.
They easily make a weapon set for enemies type with class items or armor in general for each strike but limited it needs to come back
With the way Destiny is monetized now, it seems strikes will not get much attention. The strike playlist is free, so not expecting any real investment or innovation there.
That was a cool feature. I forgot all about that.
I feel like Bungie's focus of the Eververse store really brought D2 down by a large margin in terms of loot variation.
D2 had strike specific loot back in Forsaken. They shifted over to more generic weekly Nightfall loot later on.
Warden's Law, D.F.A., etc. None of it was armor though, instead some were Ghosts, Ships, or Sparrows.
Ik we have nightfall specific loot but those are just guns. D1 strike loot just had more of an impact ❤ The Psion Flare, Maloks head ON TOP of just more guns
Man, I really miss my Grasp of Malok. Mine had Headseeker and Glass Half Full aka High Impact Reserves.
That gut just felt right in my hands and it would be a lowkey monster in PvP, because why bother trying to activate the damage perks, when they activate by just using it.
Ahhh so many memories 😊
D2 had strike specific loot too. . There were weapons and stuff all the way through forsaken. They just never got used
there was strike specific loot for strikes in d2 ;) maybe you remember that OG Wardens Law was only accesible from Warden of Nothing.
Great video man. I still grind strikes today. A lot more fun than D2.
Found the video again, I know you are a smaller channel, but I really hope someone with some power at bungie sees this. For almost a year now I have been wishing I could go back and play D1 just for this reason alone. Bosses felt cool and dynamic. And the loot felt like you accomplished something. Now it feels like their version of difficulty is annoying health bars, endless ads, and nerfing any viable weapon of armor that stands out as good.
hunters got the cloak of the last one killed not the one that matches their subclass
Also d1 strikes had less down time in mission. I hate killing adds then running for 2 min or jumping or any other dumb thing they put in to stretch it out. D1 was just run and gun . And the loot
bruh I watch your tanki content and got so confused when I saw this ☠️
Over all yes Destiny 1 has a very different vive like truly epic that have been gradually getting lost as Bungie has gotten kind of contaminated with some nowadays common practices in the entertainment industry.
I personally think that adding all the battlegrounds and stuff they are adding into the strike playlist is a good thing, been playing destiny forever and I gatta say that I have never once felt a single bit of joy from a strike, other than in D1 from one of these dropping. Bringing them back could help save strikes but idk, strikes are a super repetitive activity that I don’t even wanna do more than once usually
I will say they bring back more challenge, which is a plus in my book
I think we keep missing the forest for the trees when comparing D1 and D2 strikes.
Strike specific loot was definitely a good hook, especially for the unique armor pieces and weapons.
However, the thing that made D1 strikes better were their pacing and length. Strikes weren’t very long and they mostly lacked extended traversal segments between encounters. D2, on the other hand, has loooong strikes with 0 reason to run one over the other. Lake of Shadows was popular because you could speed run it, doing twice as much grind in the same amount of time.
Again, strike specific loot is definitely a bonus, and should return regardless of whatever excuse Bungie uses to not do it, but D1 strikes being more action-focused is what made them better imo
i feel like ive seen this video before
I miss D1😊
seeing d1 in 60fps threw me off
Honestly this would be pointless in D2 considering transmog is in the game. If they were to do this it'd have to be weapons only.
I just want my taniks cloak in d2 bruh 😂
Only year one of Destiny one made strikes Special
I'd say bungie better take notes. But they're only interested in money which they're wasting lmao
imo it all comes down to one thing. Destiny is a looter shooter with no loot. (barely any loot)
Strikes were special in D1 because there was nothing else to do for the first 6 months or so.
I love defeating a boss and leaving the corpse alone in a world where we’ve turned every god into a weapon. Unrealistic and my immersion is ruined
Strikes where just fun. Rewards were not the highlight
Its almost like they never listen to the community.....
Good vid btw I love d1 content and it’s hard to find recent uploads and you are doing your community a service 🫡
Bungie can’t do this anymore cause it’s just too hard 😒
You are also forgetting that was not part of the game at first. It was only added later on
D1 strikes were way harder and way more fun
