Everyone. Everything about D1 is superior to D2.

Oh look, no responses from Bungie on this post. What a surprise...not.

i'm not sure it matters. not that many vanilla d1 players left. this game just isn't going to feel like d1. you're never going to recreate year1, pulling the net cord on crota, the very first trials on mercury, felwinters lie. it's never going to come back. more toxic players now, new generation of grinders who don't even know what they missed. d2 is a casual game. i play a few strikes, a nightfall here and there. ran a few raids. LOL at D2 tryhards. the game just isn't exciting. it's something to do when you're bored. game does play amazingly well on pc and that platform has the smallest playerbase {shakes head} i mean. when i see guys grinding for hours trying to get nightfall weapons i just wonder what the hell is wrong with them? destniy 2 shouldn't even exist really. all of this should have been a content drop on top of D1 making one very large game. d2 is just a reminder that all of your best memories are just that....memories due to forced obsolesce

Bungie doesnt care. They just want everything the easy way.

title should be: Who prefers everything about D1 over D2

I understand that many people prefer the d1 subclass system over d2 but I don’t think the customization has as much to do with it as the lack of power does. Personally I, and I believe many others, never changed my stats after having fully unlocked a skill tree but it took time to do so and the perks that were being unlocked complimented the abilities I already had making me feel more powerful and I think that aspect is what d2 is lacking more so than customization. I know you haven’t asked for this and I haven’t read all the comments so I’m not sure if anyone else had but just in case a want to make it clear that the d1 system should not be implemented in d2 but instead they should build onto the current d2 system. My idea of how they would do so is by adding the “y” button functionality (I’m an Xbox player) that they have on weapons to all the abilities in the game. When you press y on the abilities it would take you to a screen where you can view its stats and in the screen they would have added some of the mode used complementary perks that aren’t currently in the game or maybe add new ones. You could gain ability points by using that specific ability and getting kills with it and use those points to upgrade the stats of the abilities such as regen speed, damage, if it’s any AOE ability the AOE, or unlock the supplemental perks. I believe this would add a feeling of time investment being worth it and bring back the sense of power many people are currently missing. I know this could seem like it breaks the game in some ways but it would give top tier players the ability to challenge themselves more and lower tier/casual players the ability to make the game more fun for them the more they play and potentially take on those harder end game activities that might have eluded them with the current system.

Why not something like a borderlands skill tree system? Bear with me here. So it looks as if they're wanting each subclass to have a different 'super' and I think that's great! But, for those who've played the game "Borderlands", picture the skill tree. Up top, you have your 'super' with three trees below. This allowed so many different options on building your character up! Now, of course there's always that 'one build everyone runs', but there's still so much choice. Now, take that skill tree system and let's take the gunslinger for example in the Forsaken stage. You now have 'Golden Gun', with three different trees. Left tree focuses on the three shots, with extra crit damage, the right tree focuses on the six shooter. The middle, I leave to Bungie. Maybe turn nighthawk into it? If you want flaming knives, well there's a second page in the Gunslinger class with it's own different paths to take. Maybe more knives (more throws), explosive knives and some other mutation. The best part about this perk system, is that you don't have to go down just one tree! You can put perks in to either one, but you have to invest more perks to get further down the tree (as well with leveling up). Q: How would this affect jumps and grenades? A: There are three different jumps and three different grenades per 'skill tree' we have now. Since this isn't borderlands, we can mutate this to be our own. The left, middle and right trees would contain one of each. Here's the great catch! Both the jump and grenade perks are at the very beginning of the tree! So, by level six you'd have them all, if that's how you wanted to spend your points. Once you have spent a skill point on more than one jump, or grenade, you can swap between them seamlessly, keeping the choices open. Not only would this idea give way more diversity to the classes we have, it would allow Bungie to have an easier time tweaking, adjusting and even adding more things to these trees as time goes by. By the way, these trees could affect cooldowns on everything! Each grenade perk, if leveled up enough could have some great mutations the more it's leveled up! (Maybe max out at 3 or 5?) For example, Scatter grenades at max level would have more projectiles and better tracking. For the many years I've been playing Destiny in general, I've noticed that in both games they've tried to make skill trees simple yet helpful. I give both games an A for effort, but both games made me feel like they sorta lost direction with it. D2 especially. TL;DR Make the skill trees similar to that of the Borderlands games. It's a simple, yet very impacting system.

D2 has more interesting perks but you can’t mix and match, D1 has absolute shit for their perks to the point you have one good one, a choice between two bad ones and you don’t even bother picking the rest. Mix both versions as it’s great. Unless you put all the good perks in the first tier choice, then it sucks again.

My last bump...

Uggh... Miss the vast choices you can have with your builds for the classes. It was awesome though I ran the gimmicky builds often lol. (Blood Bound for Nightstalker. Suncharge for Sunbreaker)

D1 system hands down

I prefer D1 in general tbh

We had options but Bungie and the community wanted a balanced game(bungie in it for MLG) Thus Destiny2 was born. Miss all my old options for play styles. Except for the old shader system, that can stay in the past lol.

D2 subclasses do NOT need immediate attention from Bungie...heres a list of things Bungie SHOULD be working on IMMEDIATELY -Heroic Strike Playlist needs D1 modifiers...NOT D2 modifiers. -Ikoras Meditations should be a weekly Milestone...with D1 modifiers. -Tower Kiosk for previously acquired legendary ships/sparrows/ghosts. (excludes Eververse) -Banshee weekly loot table of legendary weapons directly purchasable with Gunsmith Materials instead of just the RNG engram. -Xur should sell Masterwork Cores. -Cross Infusion -ReRoll Perks -Prestige Raid exotic primary weapons with elemental burns. -Raid and Raid Lair legendary ships/sparrows/ghosts. -Rarity Upgrade System (find a rare you like?...upgrade it to legendary!)

God yeahss
