People keep defending Year 3, it's like they don't remember Year 1. Did we have issues in Year 1? Of course we did. Major issues. Most of those issues were made much worse by TDB, and finally corrected in HoW. When we say Year 1 was the best, I don't think we are saying Vanilla. You have to take the entire year, Vanilla, TDB, and HoW. Almost every issue people have with Year 1 does not apply to HoW. HoW is, and probably always will be the high water mark for Destiny. Every piece of equipment we had was relevant. Every raid was relevant (for a total of two, the same number of relevant raids we have now, except one of them was fantastic, and one was ok. Instead of one being complete trash, and one being pretty good like we have now. Also, I don't raid anymore, so take it with a grain of salt.) Content was a bit light, but no lighter than it is now. Sure, we can go back and do all the year 1 and 2 stuff now, but why? We won't get anything for it, it's irrelevant. HoW, everything was relevant. They took Elemental Primaries away after Year 1. They were my main reason for raiding. Year 2 raid had horrible weapons, complete junk to replace the amazing primaries we got from the raids in year 1. Any reason to raid was removed when Elemental Primaries were removed. Max light can be reached very easily without ever doing a raid. Far better weapons can be found at the Cryptarch than what can drop in the raid. Consider this paragraph a TLDR: I understand that people will disagree with my post, that's fine. All I have to say about that is that Destiny is at it's lowest player base ever. Obviously, Bungie is doing something wrong. We can talk about what that is, or we can put our heads in the sand and pretend that this is the best time Destiny has ever had. I suggest we talk about why the player base is leaving so quickly. Year 1>Year 3>Year 2, and it's because everything was relevant.

  • But you didn't have to just play Prison. The Vault and Crota were also relevant at that time. Now, Kingsfall (you wanna talk boring?) and Machine Wrath (I hear it's okay, but I won't raid until Elemental Primaries are back) are the only things that are relevant. Kingsfall is only relevant because you can infuse the boring weapons that drop in that boring place. So, HoW had one amazing raid that may never be surpassed and one pretty good raid. RoI has one amazingly boring raid and one pretty good raid. I think that puts us at HoW>RoI. But it doesn't matter what we say. The numbers are the only thing that matters. Current estimates (Bungie doesn't release the numbers) put the current playerbase at less than 1 million, with some estimates as low as less than 500,000. HoW estimates were over 6 million. 6 Million people getting on every week to do raids, Prison, and Crucible. I doubt that Destiny will every reach that playerbase again. Destiny 2 isn't going to bring them back. Bungie broke promise after promise after promise. HoW will always be the high water mark for Destiny.

  • "never surpassed raid"... lol, from a guy who didn't even do the machine wrath once. especially considering there's no raid in HoW... are you talking about Atheon, or about Crota ? I still love those first 2 raids, but Oryx and the machine wrath are awesome raids as well.

  • No. HoW sucked. PoE is by far the worst PvE content and ToO ruined PvP. HoW sucked.

  • RE: your raid comments, that's not really a consensus community view. I think most of the community would agree that CE was disgustingly bad, but beyond that, there isn't really a clear ranking of raids. As somebody that has done an enormous amount of raiding, personally I'd put KF well above VoG, and VoG well above WotM.

  • They won't bring back the elementals, more then likely the reason for that is the PvP crybabies because those weapons destroyed in crucible, destiny's majority now is PvP running around with their meta weapons the casual PvE players that pop in and out of crucible or trials are told to git gud when we complain about the endless amount of shotguns and hand cannons by the same players that refuse to step out of the meta comfort zone and use something different. They can have their god roll metas but raiders that play hard for our unique weapons just deal with the hand given because the focus is on PvP not the PvE player base wrath's weapons are the only decent raid weapons.

  • Elemental primaries had no extra benefit in pvp.

  • You aren't serious. Right? You can't be. TTK wouldn't be anywhere close to HoW. HoW came with the original roar lot of people. Basically, it was free if you got the good edition. You are contending that an extremely expensive dlc had more players than one that came with the original? I'm gonna need to see a link for a claim like that.

  • I didn't day year 3 (now) is the best. I said year 2 was, which had the highest number of active players
