A Dance Montage for MOTW, to hopefully make you smile

(EDIT: Here's a link to the Creation Page to help this get MOTW! https://www.bungie.net/en/Community/Detail?itemId=223563484 ) I thought I'd post this here since the Age of Triumph is upon us. This Dance Montage was meant to show the environments of Destiny, new or old, giving a sense of nostalgia, not to mention showing you some wicked dance moves. Let me know what you think of it, I'd love to hear your thoughts. I've submitted this video to the Creations Page, which will hopefully be approved soon, so if you'd maybe like to help this get MOTW, you can. Or just enjoy it! [spoiler]Edit: This post is trending somehow. Holy- Thanks so much. Hopefully the creations page URL will be on here tomorrow![/spoiler]

  • [quote]Bosscuts, If you see this in the mass of comments I will attempt to explain, at least from me and my group of friend's perspective. This post, not coincidentally, will also be the last I ever make about the game on here or reddit. I do not suggest that I speak for anybody but myself and friends, so please, just understand how one person or group of adult, reasonable people feel about this information that has come to light today. From my perspective, Destiny is unlike any other shooter that exists or existed. Unlike a Diablo-esque loot-based game, where you chase loot, but, in the end, the loot is just pixels on a screen, you actually "feel" the effects of the gun in Destiny. You can argue then that the guns are Destiny. Our characters are simply vessels for the guns that give us the feel of the game. We, therefore, as players of the game, grow attached to these weapons, especially when we spend hours and hours grinding for them. That feeling of joy when Fatebringer first dropped or Vex or Gally still lives with us, especially players who have been around since the Alpha and Beta. Because of the, undeniably, great gunplay in the game, many people forgave Bungie for including a poor, nonsensical story, and gave them much leeway in the early part of the games release because they were treading into a new game genre. It is still my belief that the greatest time I ever had playing a video game with my friends was during the Vault and Crota raids, and, naturally, I, therefore, associate that great time not with my character, but with the guns of the day. My classic loadout was: Fatebringer Black Hammer Gally, Like so many others. My friends had their own layouts as well. One liked scouts, so Vision, another never got Gally to drop until the week before the nerf, so he used Icebreaker. Then they took our guns away... I know some others on here have no empathy for people like me and my friends, but that does not concern me. I am simply answering your question explaining my personal perspective. In our minds, Bungie betrayed us. Another poster in this thread included the link for the statement that they never would make our weapons obsolete. Naturally, he is immediately told how he is wrong. Of course, that is an example of the responding poster's lack of empathy for others. Regardless, of how other people feel, OUR opinion was one of betrayal and we stopped playing the game through the Skolas era and picked the game back up briefly during the Taken King, but nothing was the same. Our trust was betrayed, and we looked at Bungie now in a leery way. With the release of Rise of Iron, although my friends vowed to not purchase the expansion, I felt the urge one, last time and convinced them to join me. We played, we had fun, but nothing was the same. With the news that Gally was coming back we were happy, and had fun with the quest, of course, this joy was not complete because hanging over it like a shroud, was the fact that we believed it never should have left and was, merely, a marketing tool for Bungie to get players like us to purchase the expansion. We did Nightfalls with burns and couldn't use Vision and Fatebringer, though they sat in our vaults. Three copies of each, in case Bungie, as we believed, "maybe would come to their senses" and allow infusion. What slapped us in the face, of course, was that we could use Zhalo for arc burn. Only Zhalo... The final straw before today for us was the wonderful announcement that Icebreaker would return. We were happy, until they announced it wouldn't be a quest or infusion, but instead a random drop. If you play Destiny a lot you know how many times you have done the different Nightfall strikes. You can imagine that the prospect of grinding the same strikes we completed countless times for a weapon we had three copies of in our vaults did not appeal to us. Instead it infuriated us, but alas, I convinced my friends one last time to relive the Destiny heydays and we dusted off the game again, even completing Wrath with our old raid group for the first and last time. Once the last of us got Icebreaker to drop we all agreed that we had had enough. We no longer trusted Bungie as developers, we agreed that there really are far better games out there, and we realized what we always knew to be true, that we were simply grasping for straws that Bungie would ever give us back those weapons that made us fall in love with the game in the first place. Which takes us to this present moment... Here I am, responding to you now in my last post and the night I officially delete the game and make 60gbs of free, much needed, hard drive space on my PS4. I opened up Reddit today to see what the final information was on my beloved guns returning and you now know what I found. I find that not only can't I infuse the guns in my vault, but I can't even have an arc Fatebringer anymore and Black Hammer is non-existent even when none of this matters when the game will end in a few months. There was no feeling of betrayal, there was no feeling of sadness, just a feeling of confirmation of expectations. I did learn you could buy a t-shirt though! So, to end this response to you, allow me to say that yes, I loved this game. Allow me to also say--though I know you understand because you play it too--there is something special about this game. Sadly, tonight was the last opportunity I gave Bungie to win my trust back and they failed and lost a customer for the sequel. Thank you for allowing me to respond to your question and I wish you and the rest of the millions of guardians the best in the great universe that they have created.
