This community is so hilarious. I read all of these "I'm a veteran and I'm finally leaving" posts where everybody is all glossy-eyed about the year 1 glory days and just laugh. I was here, man. Year 1 was absolutely ridiculous. When my vault gear became useless literally 5 days after I got over Forever 29, I lost my goddamn shit. When I started getting kicked from parties for having Hunger of Crota instead of Gjallarhorn, I lost my goddamn shit. The RNG in year 1 was just absolutely abysmal. I didn't get a single Hawkmoon until about a week before The Taken King dropped. In The Taken King, I've gotten 4. Yes, year 1 was also great and a lot of wonderful things happened. I can still remember the first time I beat Atheon and the first time I beat Crota, the first time I successfully ran the sword and when Gjallarhorn FINALLY dropped for me just prior to The House of Wolves. I can still remember dropping Skolas in like 42 seconds... I remember my Ice Breaker and how it was just an all around wonderful weapon. Okay? I get it. Some things in year 1 were amazing. However, I also remember the countless bugs and glitches, the lag that still exists to this day, Queen's Wrath leaving for months and not getting changed so we actually like it and then coming back for a week solely to promote DLC, a shotgun so powerful that it was nicknamed the Felwinter's Sniper, that time my Shadow Price became obsolete so I deleted it only to find out that I could never get it back and then Bungie gave us Etheric Light and then they took that away from us too, how frustrating the Thorn bounty was to solo, Vault of Glass giving me double drops of Praedyth's Revenge way too many times but never giving me Fatebringer, Vex Mythoclast dominating the Crucible for a few days and then getting nerfed into the ground only to come back and get nerfed into the ground again, Thorn, the absolutely abysmal storytelling and so much more. Yes. Year 1 had some great times that I'll remember and cherish for the rest of my time as a gamer. However, there's so much shit I wish I could forget about year 1 as well. The Taken King is a step in the right direction (as far as content goes, [b]not business practices[/b]... No). This game finally has a competent storyline in it. We have a bad guy with a goal and a reason for us to stop him from achieving it as opposed to some floating black goo that we hate because... Um. He makes robots teleport.
