Dear Bungie, Hi, my name is Davis. I’m 16 and I love destiny. The reason I’m writing this is to thank you for the work you have put into the game that has given me so much joy and friendship over the past 5 years of my life. Destiny 1 was a game that I had no idea about until all my friends started to talk about a “halo 2.0” and since I had a PlayStation I never played halo, so this was my chance to try out this famous game I always heard about. I bought D1 two days after it’s release and I remember going to my mall buying it at GameStop and having to follow around my mom and sister while they shop, not being able to look away from the box. I was in awe of what I held in my hands, and I couldn’t wait to play it. Destiny turned out to be my first online experience as well. I had no idea how to play/interact with other players, but I learned thanks to destiny. I quickly made friends in the tower after dancing around, and had my own guides to help me figure out how to get legendaries, and to find out what the heck the “vault of glass” was. I didn’t know anything about these types of games, but I learned and fell in love. I remember finishing my first raid, Crotas end, with a friend and his team. I was just a kid who had no idea what was going on. Even when we finished I didn’t really grasp the accomplishment I had achieved. I remember getting my first exotic, Mida, from the gorgons chest in VoG. I didn’t have a working mic because I couldn’t figure out how to hook it up, but I still managed to finish that raid too. I remember my first flawless trials run, getting carried by my two best friends at the time and being ecstatic as I saw the cutscene of the lighthouse. I remember screaming with joy when I finally got my gjallarhorn from the very same chest my MIDA came from. But most importantly, I remember the little moments, the late night pvp games with my friends just having a great time together, the countless nightfall wipes just for a chance at an exotic, the countless runs of prison of elders trying to get a lord of wolves. To this day I can recall every single time I finished something big for the first time; Atheon, Crota, Skolas, Oryx, and Axis. I remember the tears of laughter with my friends who I had never met before irl but felt connected to because of our experiences, and the cheers of joy after every nightfall, raid, trials card, chest open, exotic drop, and everything in between. The friendships I made in d1 still last to this day and the memories I made give me the worst nostalgia I’ve ever experienced. I yearn to go back to 2015 and grind my heart out, bc things were different then. Life was easier. We didn’t have to worry about anything except whether we’d see valus ta’aruc again in the nightfall, or if xūr would finally bring that one exotic we dreamed of getting. I had a passion and a love for destiny that I haven’t felt since. So now I turn to you Bungie. Please, bring back that spark. Make d2 more like d1, that’s all we ask. I want to play your game, I really really do but it’s hard now. I love the universe you’ve created and I want to be apart of it, but I don’t know how I can now that I have no motivation to play. Please Bungie I beg of you to help us help you But again. Thanks for giving me some of the best years of my life -Davis (corzan721)
