I really feel like I belong when posts that the Bungie team make, get ignored by the Bungie team

• A sense of tremendous achievement D1: Beating my first raid (VoG) D2: Beating Last Wish • A sense of belonging Had a clan I liked in year 1 of D2 (The Dark Ages), then everyone stopped getting on, and eventually, I was the only one still playing Destiny • Devastated or heartbroken The entirety of my Comp experience Shallowkeep and Season of the Scam • Utter domination When I almost got a We Ran Out Of Medals during year 1 Iron Banner (D2) • A human connection Meeting people on LFG that I could relate to life wise, those were very fun times. • Like laughing until you cried When one of my friends got sent into space by a Phalanx during the TTK campaign • The moment you knew you loved this game! When I started back in D1, I knew I would love the game

• A sense of tremendous achievement (Beating King's Fall for the first time) • A sense of belonging (Finally found a clan that I felt was right for me) • Devastated or heartbroken (When an old friend of mine logged off and said "see you tomorrow" but never got on. Later found out he had died) • Utter domination (When I went on a 10 win streak in Comp. Alternatively, when I went on a 16 loss streak in comp) • A human connection (When I found one of my closest friends to this day in an LFG for Vault of Glass) • Like laughing until you cried (When my friend and I were playing a strike and he got killed and screamed "BUNGO PLOCKA DO NERF" when Taniks destroyed him) • The moment you knew you loved this game! (When I realized just how good of a feeling it was to play with my friends and beat Vault of Glass for the first time)

Sorry, I was playing The Outer World's, what'd he say?

My Destiny experience came a little different than most. D1 came out while I was in the United States Marine Corps. I didn’t even know what destiny was. Fast forward to 2015, I got out of the Marine Corps and immediately got a job at AT&T. I was in the middle of transitioning to the civilian world and one of my first friends I made was this guy at work. Some of you know him as Beard_Grizzly, a great youtuber who really gets into the lore of Destiny. Anyways he got me to play some D1 but I couldn’t get into it that much because of how busy life was coming into the civilian world and just got a new girlfriend (my wife now). In 2017 my best friend who I met in my apartment complex took his life. August 23rd the day after my birthday. Long story short, when I met him, we learned we were both on the same deployment at the same time. We slept maybe a couple hundred yards from each other in Afghanistan. Learning that finally gave me someone who understood me completely. When we found him in his apartment, I was lost. I had no idea what to do or who to talk to. Back when I was a kid I played video games every day for hours on end. I saw D2 was released and thought it would be a good distraction. A few weeks into it, I didn’t make many friends until I did an LFG. I found a great guy who was in the Air Force. We bonded, joined his clan and met other service members. I finally found a place where I fit in. This game started as a distraction but ended up being my saving grace. I struggled with suicidal thoughts and depression after losing my best friend but because of the people and the addictiveness of Destiny, I found a home. I finally fit in. Now I still play almost every day, doing challenging content such as raids and competitive. I tried streaming but it didn’t work out the way I wanted it too. Who knows maybe ill try youtube out one day. Anyways sorry for the long entry but I just want people to hear that this game has a place for everyone, whether you’re a Veteran or a kid in high school. If you’re struggling in any way with mental health, seek help. Everyone needs help in different way. For me, this game saved my life.

Destiny 1 strikes and loot was fun. The grind equal rewards all the time. Test prototype weapons was the best. Destiny 2 need to change the grind need to be as like destiny 1. Factions need to come back Put raid armors and weapons in the loot system so we have something to grind for. Put more missions in destiny 2 that give XP. The dreaming City Bounties need to have XP, bright dust Tangle shore grind for dead ghost need an increase. All exotic quests need to be doable and some have timer need to have timer remove. Pinnacle engrams need to change so we have more ways to level up so bring back destiny 1 grinding into Destiny 2. Bring some Destiny 1 strikes into destiny 2. Forsaken was the best DLC for destiny 2. Bring back iron Lord temple so we have more vendors and places to travel. Mercury need more patrol places and use vehicles. Bring back Mars destiny 1 locations to patrol. More story on the prince if he gonna be part of the Vanguard. Bring Factions vendors-

I was at a low point in my life. Bad at home and bad at work. I was really depressed. I played Destiny because it was the only constant in my life I could control. After time I met friends. I watched people play on twitch. I became a mod for Professor Broman. I beat my depression. All started by playing destiny

[quote]• Utter domination • A human connection[/quote]

Best moment was when I got my NF approx 1 year ago from now. What.a.grind it was....

I would have to say in a way destiny saved me It gave me an escape from this world to be a badass in that one I have made some friends and many more memories But even till today it serves as an escape and I would have it any other way It also got me into game development and story writing. As of right now I'm working towards a have degisn degree from the state University I go to I would love one day to make a game that serves as this one did for me for others I would like to say thank you to the entire team at Bungie for making a great game and an epic adventure and can't wait to see what comes next

I bought Destiny 1 completely by accident. I found I had some supermarket vouchers about to expire so had a look in their games section to see what was available and they were highlighting this new game called "Destiny" that I'd never heard of, so I bought it just to see what it was about and because it was "free". I played D1 right up to the point when D2 launched and then, naturally switched over. As such I really enjoy Shadowkeep as that feeling of nostalgia you get when roaming about the newly rendered moon feels quite special. There was that same kind of feeling when there was that mission where you got to go back to the Cosmodrome too! As to "highlights", it still feels really special on those rare occasions when a yellow drops in a simple event like patrolling or a public event or something - when you least expect it - I would say "more of that" - except that it is because it's so rare that it feels special. I don't like any of the events that involve interacting with others (so strikes, gambit, crucible) but I do enjoy hectic shared events like Public Events, Menagerie, Vex Invasion, Escalation Protocol, Vex on the Moon, Altar of Sorrow - in those you never really know or care anything about the pother players but, on the other hand, you could not complete it without their help. On the whole, when I get to the end of a season with characters at 750 or 96n or whatever I want to know that it was pretty much all a personal achievement. Sure I was maybe forced to do one strike during the Shadowkeep campaign or something and I guess that is OK, but I prefer to have powered up my artefact and collected all the 950 items on my own to be able to say "I did that". OTOH I know there's folks here that will say "it's a multiplayer game - you aren't allowed to play it on your own". At the back of my mind I always think of Destiny as "Space Invaders" (yup, I'm well old enough!). It's just running around and killing things and it's fun. "Time wasted on Destiny" shows that since I moved from Xbox to PS4 I have spent 645h on D1 and 806h on D2. If you call the entire span of the games 5 years then I guess that means I have averaged 48 minutes per day for every day of five years. So you must be doing something right! PS forgot to say that I think the actual "story" is utter shite. I never really understand what on earth any of it is about (especially true of Eris Morn!), but as long as you get to play Space Invaders who cares eh?

Destiny has been a game that honestly changed my life. A year before Destiny (vanilla) dropped I was diagnosed with a chronic illness that made it harder for me to go out and keep up a social life. So, like many others, I turned to online gaming in order to socialize with other people. That didn’t work out well in the beginning, mainly a lot of people who feel that an online persona means you can do and say whatever you want, but when Destin arrived, I found my clan. Destiny brought me an amazing group of supportive friends that I have proudly fought beside and explored the world of Destiny with. All of my memories are made with these people that I love and care about. They mean the world to me. [u]A sense of tremendous achievement[/u] Every time we complete a raid for the first time, I feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. I still remember the high of beating the hard mode of Crota on day two (day one we got to Crota, but scrubbed out for a bit at Crota). The raid that has given the greatest feeling of achievement was King’s Fall, when we finally got to Oryx and watched him float off in the distance I’m pretty sure all of us were yelling and jumping off platforms because we didn’t know how we were able to get past those challenges and finally complete the raid. [u]A sense of belonging[/u] I spend 6 hours grinding faction rally tokens with my clanmate and friend. It wasn’t because the event was fun (grinding as much as we did for tokens was a bit on the ridiculous end), but because the entire time we were talking about nothing and everything. It was the two of us jumping back and forth on the Titan lost sectors and getting the timing right to grab public events as we just shot the breeze. That guy can read my silences now because the two of us spent so much time doing menial tasks and talking about our lives. It felt like I was back at camp having a 2 am chat session with my best friend. [u]Devastated or heartbroken[/u] Luckily, we haven’t had anything too bad happen to our group. I have had some rough times that Destiny got me through: deaths in the family, my frequent hospitalizations, and I’m coming up on a surgery that my clanmates are keeping me sane for. [u]Utter Domination[/u] I forget which Iron Banner it was, but 6 of us grouped up to get the full set during D1. While we were matchmaking I was kicked from the party and quickly jumped back in as fast as I could…expect I was placed on the other team because apparently one of their members had been kicked and rejoined as well. It was the most fun game of my life! At first, I didn’t take it seriously, because these were my friends and we were on a loss streak which meant that we needed to get coins turned in since cap was coming up. Then I started to have fun with it and killed my friends. I stabbed people in the back, killed my warlock friend twice when he chose to self rez in front of me, and by the end I was top of the leaderboard and my team won. I have a video saved from the end of the fight and it is almost entirely me laughing and very sarcastically apologizing for killing my friends. After that match my fellow clanmates started telling tales of my domination and I was known as a murderer. I think I also was accused of running a league of hawk assassins? Not sure why, but I was also rumored to dual wield Hawkmoons. [u]A human connection[/u] I’ve made so many friends through Destiny. The community is full of people looking to make a human connection and find others who want to enjoy and play this game. I don’t think that this game would be the same without the friends I’ve made. I know that I would not have the great memories I do without those connections. [u]Like laughing until you cried[/u] My username is actually a long running joke from D1. I was a big fan of the Hawkmoon, so when I had the chance, I would use it. One of my clanmates had every exotic in the game except for the Hawkmoon, so when I played the game with him, I would equip the Hawkmoon and more often then not I would also receive it as a drop. We ended up with a fun rivalry because of this, and things escalated to the point that I changed my username almost everywhere to include Hawkmoon in it and was only using the Hawkmoon (which was great because I got very good at using the gun I loved). He did get a Hawkmoon eventually, but every time we were playing the game together the two of us would end up laughing so hard, we were crying because we had so much fun with out fake gun rivalry. [u]The moment you know you loved this game![/u] It was waaaay too early in the morning after staying up for 48 hours. I was delirious and playing through the Forsaken campaign with two other clanmates who were also college students and had not slept so that we could enjoy the game day 1. We just opened the shore and talked to spider for the quest to complete bounties, so we weren’t very high power yet. Thinking nothing of it we went the lost sector right next door to the jukebox to see what it was and maybe get some bounties done. Upon entering hope for the future started to play. I freaked out, because that song is not great, and then we panicked and ran around as the bouncer one shot all three of us. It was the most fun I had had in what felt like forever. I love the nostalgia that hearing a song we’ve made fun of constantly brought as well as the panic and laughter that came with three delirious people forgetting what the symbol next to the name meant to warn you the enemy will be immune to your weak self. There are plenty of other moments that remind me why I love this game or when I knew, but that one always stands out to me.

I defeated the darkness with a Flashlight. also, I will give you an upvote seeing that this post has been slammed into the ground harder than the OEM Recluse Nerf.

Thank you for being such an amazing community. We look forward to hearing more of your stories.[/quote] First and foremost, this game gave me an easy way to talk and play games with my brother. We grew up playing games together and completed our first legendary runs in Halo together. He was in the military and got out and I shipped off like a week after he got out so from 2005 to currently, we haven’t gotten to spend much time together in person so games give us that connection. We’ve done pretty much everything together in destiny. I’ve always been a hunter and he’s always been a titan. We know each other’s play styles and always find the best strategies for whatever we’re doing. I’m not sure if we defined the characters or the characters defined us but he plays like a titan. Always up close and smashing away while I’m sitting back with my MIDA picking everyone off. Another connected story. I had my first kid a little after destiny released so him laying on my chest while I played and trying to be quiet after we finally beat a raid boss or wiping the raid because I had to get up to change a blowout diaper was worth it. He’s obviously older now and I give him the controller sometimes. Isn’t really coordinated but he gets so excited when he finally hits a bad guy. Tremendous achievement is probably like most but the first time I opened the vault of glass gate. My fire team was under leveled but we knew how to work together and tried everything without knowing what to do the first time. Another achievement was the first time I solo’d Crotas end. Also going along with crota, I got two GHorns in the same day with my fireteam. TWO. One from the nightfall and another from the death singer. This was back when the launcher was in its prime and still very rare. I was devastated when the bridge encounter was redone so it was harder to solo. Utter domination. I got the MIDA multi tool pretty early on and just kept using it because it was a scout rifle (my fav) and good DPS and radar always up. I don’t want to sound like a hipster but I used it wayyyyy before it was popular mostly because it was the best scout I had at the time. I rarely played PvP but when I did and used MIDA, I couldn’t be stopped. Kept my distance when everyone was shotgun sliding. Learned to move and aim so I wouldn’t get sniped. Shut down supers every now and then. Once nightstalker came out, it was over for supers. Mayhem... forget about it. This game has given me a lot in life and that’s why I keep supporting it. I think the moment I realized I loved the game was when I starting talking about end theories with my fireteam. I had just started really reading the grimoire cards and the lore got me hooked. The lore, to me, is my “reason” for playing destiny specifically. The whole story could be a 7 book Harry Potter like series if not longer. There’s a lot of arcs to follow but when you finally realize how they connect, it just opens up more theories and lore. Once the main story wraps up, I’d like to recommend a stream with the story and deep lore writers to answer any questions and just have a long talk about the timeline from creation to true death of the universe.

I’m not a content creator so my story doesn’t matter. But I did enjoy this game before the content creators, college kids, and people that live in their moms basement started to complain that the end game was lacking. Now you can’t enjoy the game because your to busy grinding out season 8 stuff before it disappears while trying to balance work and home life with the family. Now I’m sorry I wasted my hard earned money on the game that once help people like me escape reality and gave them a chance to wind down at the end of the day. Best of luck in your future bungie.

My story is. STOP DESTROYING THE GAME BY NERFING IT. if some whine over weapons beeing over powerd, then plz respect the weapon designers and respect our grinding to get a weapon and dont nerf it. Nerfing a weapons= killing it or making it a garbage= same thing. So frankly speaking i dont know which story iam creating right now. My story or all the whiners story. Destiny is an icreadible game with a lot of variaty in content. If ppl dosnt like pvp then they can go play pve and vice versa. But ppl cant whine them selfs into various activites through nerfing content. Its not fun at all.

Hey i died to a sidearm earlier so that makes them OP. And also theyre making PvE to easy because i have no self control and cant use any other weapon so they need to be nerd there too. Chop chop

Before I share my story I like to tell you that I live in Pakistan and here gaming community is sort of very limited and Destiny community is non existence. During summer of 2014, I read somewhere on the internet about the “Destiny” , game that was releasing later that year on PS4. So the name Destiny & it’s story seemed interesting to me. As that game was PS4 exclusive so I planned to buy that as prior to that I had never bought any gaming console because I use to upgrade my gaming PC on the regular basis since 1997. The other thing that fell appealing in Destiny was the opportunity to meet human players online and try to compete with machine intelligence in game. I bought Destiny when it launched and the experience exceeded my expectations especially the Raid activity that is unique in way in which 6 humans interact with each other to beat game mechanics felt so engaging. During first year of Destiny journey I used to play as a solo or random player not joined any clan, I met lot of teams online as I was mostly interested to do Raid’s but during those limited interaction for few hours I was unable to develop any friendship also when you join any team as a random you have to play really well otherwise you get rejected. During second year I had a thought to join clan then I tried to be a part of different clans and sorry to say that sometimes due to discrimination or unsuitable clan environment I got removed. During last days of that clan experience I had a thought that instead trying to do the effort to get acceptable in any clan why shouldn’t I form my own clan and try to form friendship with like minded people. So I formed my clan during that year and met awesome people who are still part of my clan and we daily try to fight darkness in the Destiny 2 universe.

Destiny touched my wallet more than my life I guess. Either way I've truly enjoyed the experience. All besides the CoO and Warmind which was trash.

Pretty much happend in Y1 of D2 but getting pretty sloshed throwing on the Skullfort and shoulder charging everything in the 2 man nightfall. Cursed thrall, explosive barrels my teammate over cliffs (sorry Rival). Just generally a good time being a drunk titan who didn't give a -blam!-
