For those who don’t know, one of the designers for Bungie, Roderick Weise put out a tweet basically asking the community if we’d like to see more armor and weapons brought back from Destiny 1.
It seems kind of ridiculous to me that this is something that’s being asked when there’s a massive elephant in the room, a literal years worth of armor and weapons that see very little use now due to the fact that weapons don’t have random rolls, and armor doesn’t have rolls at ALL.
One particular item that peaks my interest is the Leviathan raids. I would LOVE random rolled weapons, if it means a Trench Barrel Zenith of your Kind or a Box Breathing Conspirator or something. And the Leviathan armor, while I never much liked the Titan set, the Hunter was fairly good and the Warlock was one of my absolute favorites. And that’s just the Raid. There’s Forged weapons that are just BEGGING for random rolls, and a bunch of plain old world drop weapons and armor. The answer to making Destiny look and feel cool isn’t necessarily to reskin old D1 stuff, but work with what you already have.
Let’s be clear here, Id love to see armor and weapons on the cool factor level of Destiny 1. The Raid sets for D1 were incredible, and the ornaments made them some of the more outlandish and spectacular things in the Destiny universe. We need more like that. Because while I like the Leviathan weapons and armor, the ornaments are a letdown. Prestige Leviathan armor is just Leviathan In Purple, EOW ornaments are my favorite of the Leviathan, but then Spire Ornaments are just shaders.
Work with what you have first. Not even bringing up Faction Rallies and the like. Make more of the Year One stuff Year Two, then maybe we can think about incorporating some D1.

Honestly it doesn't matter what happens with Destiny 2 at this point and Bungie knows that. They moved everyone to D3. So what needs to happen is D3 needs to be a remastered D1 and D2 with the D3 content. Not to mention our stuff needs to transfer over this time around. I don't care how long it takes to install and transfer everything the first time around but just that alone would fix one of the franchise's biggest issues.

1 ReplyNo. Absolutely not! Do some frickin' work bungie. Design 9 new costumes for each class that blows everything that came before it away. Stop looking over your shoulder. Make what we have relevant and make the future loot undeniably awesome.
-
Don't bring shit back...just going to charge us for it like always.
-
1 ReplyMake NEW stuff, im tired of the same boring gun models. Make some swords that are daggers in both hands, make a double barrel grenade launcher, make a unique looking auto rifle with the clip coming out the top or the side! Stop recycling old models and assets and MAKE SOMETHING NEW!!
-
I personally don't want any more items from D1 to come back, we've had enough of those already. It would be nice if some armor/weapons from previous seasons in D2 could be brought up to the current random roll/mod system. I had a lot of items that I loved, but they're pretty much useless now.

1 ReplyThe realization that the present and future of Destiny is and will be a series of quests to reacquire gear that I've already had in D1, and was told at one point would carry over but didnt, made me end my last play session by closing the game mid activity. What I want Bungie is my vault full of gear returned to me and new quests for new exotics. When you get with the program, call me, we'll chat.

Bringing back d1 stuff is putting a bad taste in my mouth. Why give us old d1 stuff when most of d2 loot is useless.:(
-
1 ReplyAt this point, they may as well throw all of the D1 stuff back into D2 for free. I want new stuff that are actually "new". There's already news of Hawkmoon now, too.

1 ReplyEdited by The Gung Ho Guns: 2/2/2019 1:52:08 PMAll of D1's titan armor puts D2's to shame. In D2 they just look like bad action figures, dumb and bulky for no reason. They've even got that shitty gloss coating.

1 ReplyD1 gear has always looked far superior to D2 gear.
-
I’d honestly prefer the D1 Armor over the D2 Y1 Armor. But that’s not to say I wouldn’t mind having some of those armors brought back.
-
They should make more armor sets like the season 2 trials gear. That set ( Titan in particular) looks better than everything else bar none.
-
Edited by Gahlran Cosplay: 2/3/2019 12:26:13 AMI want the gear "style" of destiny 1. For instance if you saw a white rarity auto rifle from d1, you would KNOW that came from destiny, whereas a white auto from d2 looks like the bastard child of an AR-15 pattern rifle and a SCAR-H.
-
1 ReplyI took some year one armor out of my vault, if you check out my Titan rn he looks pretty sick. I wish the Y1 armor could get random rolls, or some way to upgrade it to have scavenger, reserves, and ability perks. Maybe we could have an armorsmith where we could re-roll armor, put him somewhere near banshee in the tower.
-
We need that d1 year 3 raid armor designs back not bring em back but the ornaments for the current/future raids should have that concept of creativity.
-
Deathsinger warlock armor is why I got into Destiny.

Bringing back d1 stuff is putting a bad taste in my mouth. Why give us old d1 stuff when most of d2 loot is useless.:( I don't care for tlw or thorn if j wanted to play those I'd hop on d1

1 ReplyI just want D2Y1 Planetary sets to start dropping with random perks instead of the steady stream of Forsaken Hobo Armor that I currently get.
-
Just bring back raid weapons and the grasp of malok. I don’t care about the rest of it.
-
I imagine it would or rather should go without saying that the reskin implies a rework to make them viable again.

8 RepliesThis one thing that annoys me about this company. Of course they're going to ask about bringing old gear back just like D1 weapons. Call this whatever anyone wants to, complaining or whatever but at leadt try to look at what is actually being said and not just the " negative" side of it. This is supposed to be a new game and Bungie over the years and this is a fact that annoys me. They come out saying things like all your stuff is gone, or whatever is not coming back and they turn around and do the complete opposite of what they say. Yes D1 gear is a hell of a lot better looking the D2 as most know. The issue I have with this, this isn't D1 that has a way better skill tree, an in-game menu that you did not need mods to customize you character with that menu. You had a better random roll system, better perks because I can't see things like primary ammo finder or other perks like that being applied to D1 gear knowing yoi had more freedom to use the gear how you wanted to. Instead of Bungie bringing old gear back IMO they really need to do something better then the system we have now because it would be depressing seeing old gear brought into the D2.

I know, it's infuriating. I made a 620+ upvoted thread about making Year 1 armor relevant a couple of weeks ago,, and just nothing. And now they'd reskin old sets because the new sets they make are god awful and everyone knows it.
-
If free, sure. Bring back all D1 designs. If paid... hell no.
-
How about those lazy bums make more new world drops. Fusion & linear fusion rifles didnt get any new models at all. Make some new grenade launcher models. Makes some new auto rifles, bring back the old swords that were way more awesome. Do we want more old stuff...we paid these asshats fro a new game, they took our old stuff away, and now asking if we want old stuff. Just...wow. This company infuriates me to no end.

2 RepliesLol they already do produce re-skins by the dozen. That tweet was just a play on nostalgia so they can directly copy-paste gear, re-selling it as ‘new content.’ This company thrives on lazy minimum effort and terrible design decisions.
