So I made my 7 year old son an account on my PS4 so he could play Need for Speed Payback. One day I accidentally logged into his account and why not, launched D1 since the disc is still inside. I created a Titan and used a spark of light to boost level to 25... and that's when the fun began, not just because of the nostalgia, but yes also that. Started on the very first mission and that's when the original passion for playing Destiny took over. Along the way running campaign missions, I'm rewarded (again) with amazing cutscenes while flying to mission locations with dialogue between my guardian, ghost, Vanguard and NPC's from the iron temple Edit: D1 tower had a P.A. playing in the background and the music player in the bar was a nice touch. The missions are so much more interesting and meaningful IMO. I'm referring to the first time we go the moon, the "we've woken the hive" moment, the story missions on Venus leading to the conversation with the stranger, the Lost to Light mission with the Black Spindle boss, the intro to the Dreadnaught missions, and all of the plague lands missions Every mission, strike, pvp match ect has a progress summary and reward. Level 40 and light level 382 now, plaguelands unlocked, Dreadnaught explored... Archons forge, Court of Oryx, that's the content I miss. Update: Titan is now 391, I've gotten a dozen exotics, sleeper quest is done, awaiting ARMSDAY to receive. I've had at least a dozen blues decrypted into legendaries. I got 3 pieces of armor, 1weapon, and 6 ghost shells from Archons Forge What went wrong? Vanilla Destiny 2 started out okay, the story was interesting and the cutscenes were well done, then something happened. Was it the Activision split? My team quit playing when it got dull... some stayed away, most are currently playing other games. Destiny 2 definitely lost the appeal that D1 had. I really hope Bungie gets this figured out soon... time to drop the FOMO, time to reconsider expiring content and loot. Edit: I hit 1025 on each character in D2 (1004 + 21 artifact) Was planning on grinding to 1050 but what's the point? Grandmaster nightfall caps at 1025, I'm already there. I will be back on this week to check out guardian games and grab the new exotic but I will definitely be continuing D1 when the event dies down.
