I think vanilla destiny was when the game was at its best! I will always miss #forever29 and the first queens wrath (though I was level 5 at the time :P)
I feel like the crucible was better then too, though it wasn't balanced, fusions and autos were the best weapons, now they are laughed at.

TTK is still good. There just some issues. Not as bad as previous issues, but they're still there

1 ReplyEven tho little changes made a big difference (ex: Buying materials, increased drops, etc.) if those had been in vanilla destiny I would have loved it. That plus we didn't get cut content thrown at our face til it came out.

No way it was vanilla. Every who says this is just saying it for nostalgia or trying to brag about being a day oner. Vanilla destiny was a grinding mess, now this problem has been fixed to some extent

Destiny at it's best was.. what was it? e3 2013? :p

31 RepliesEdited by Quantimatter: 9/4/2015 8:38:06 PMI remember when: People spent hours at the loot cave. Suros Regime was a 5-headshot kill. People automatically quit crucible when they found a guy with the vex, because it was a monster. VoG was hard. There were Forever 29's. Hitting max level was much more respected than now. Fusion rifles melted people from sniper distance. Auto Rifles ruled crucible. You could wallbang and kill someone. Xur sold Gjallarhorn week 2, and everyone thought that an exotic heavy was a waste of the exotic slot. Atheon was a huge cheese-bowl. Warlocks with solar grenades were most revered, because they could cheese Atheon off the map. You could drench the Templar with cheese. People pissed their pants when they saw dregs with ??? for their level. Being scared of the hallowed Knights and ogres in the Cosmodrome. Beating Sepiks in the lv8 strike was hard. Shingen-c was a force to be reckoned with. You had to run around in patrol gathering materials to upgrade gear. You could sell those materials for some marks and reputation. There was a bounty for killing spider tanks. Pulse Rifles sucked in every way. There was Queen's Wrath Event. In the first Iron Banner, a lv 10 could easily kill a lv 29-30. Bungie changed this. Special ammo dropped from people you killed. Heavy ammo dropped from people you killed. You could have another teammate open the heavy box, and you could keep the ammo on the ground for later use. Thorn sucked, but in the right hands deadly. Bad Juju sucked, because it could only hold 5 bursts in a magazine, and it didn't give super energy on each kill. Invective's reload was terrible. You could kill team mates when your timebreaker exploded. And more.

1 ReplyPvE now for sure. More content and they've fixed the most egregious issues with VoG and engram decryption, which made vanilla awful. PvP will never be better than it was during the beta though. At least until they make a game mode where everyone has the same rare or uncommon weapon options and none of their class's most OP abilities. Which will never happen. That would be awesome though.

The vanilla game just had a sense of magic, wonder and this strange [i]untouched/unpolished[/i] feel that really made the game great for new fireteams. I'll tell you, if you were around to run Vault of Glass as a 27 with a group of 6 that had never done it...it was an incredible experience. PvP was amazing too. People used guns for fun, not to fit the meta.

I think it's best in it's current state. I'm a day one player but I only have 310 hours played, which means I don't no life the game and just play it at a good pace so it doesn't get stale. I like being able to do crota, atheon, or Poe whenever I want. I don't have close to all the exotics so it's still a great game right now.

I have always felt that the game was and still is lacking quite a bit. Every game has some downfalls. However, Destiny seems to have more than the rest. The only reason I still play is because of the friends I have met through the game. Now if none of my friends are online I do not play.
