The RIGHT way to bring back D1 Gear.

As I mentioned before, Destiny 02 has discarded much of what was done in Destiny 01 and as a result there are a number of problems that the community feels aren't being address. The way that Bungie is currently re-introducing gear from D1 is uneventful and kind of dumb. There is a better way, and they have already sort of shown they can do it in the Warmind update. Escalation: Retaking the ACTUAL Tower. If you land in the "tower" in Destiny 02 you can walk out to the railing and turn to your left. Look up and you will see the old Tower from D1 being rebuilt. That means that we aren't actually in the Tower. It also means that most of the crap we scan in the "tower" that says NPC was located in such and such location wasn't actually in that location - but that is not the point of this topic. Each season there should be a mission that can be started inside the tower wall that allows a player to move into the old tower and retake some of the tower. Five levels - maybe four to fit with the current Escalation Mechanic - and once you clear a level players head up to another floor. Clear that level full of more difficult hoards and then move up. Each time you complete the entire mission you recover "lost data" from the old Tower and the exotics, armor, legendaries, ships, sparrows, and even ghost shells are unlocked and recovered back into the game. Not only that, but each time you complete a level you could re-introduce old D1 areas back into the game. First the Cosmodrome. Then the Moon, the more Mars, then Venus, then more and more each season so that you can eventually have old D1 raids, gear, and locations available to play and explore. There are better ways to make your game whole and to bring your community together.

    Destiny 2 hasn't discarded anything. Bungie has repeatedly come up with an excuse to take your gear from you, just so they can sell it back to you with a new expansion. 1/3 of the exotics in vanilla d2 was brought over from D1, 1/2 the exotics in CoO are rehashed from D1, a good chunk of the exotics in Warmind are as well. Bungie has said the game is too hard to develop and produce content for, so thier plan is to take your old gear away, and drip feed it back to players, with a heavy emphasis on loot boxes and eververse as fill for the expansions. Why do you thing sleeper simulant, and possibly black spindle where brought back in warmind? Because bungie is trying to get players back, to show investors the analytics that people will still play the game. Considering the state the game is in, I full expect gjallerhorn to be a part of the fall expansion, to entice players back.

    • This actually sounds super cool.... I don't see how you could justify enemies being inside the tower lore wise, but other than that, awesome idea!

      • Support. I want to see actual raids added. Not this dumb raid lair thing.
