D1 Strike playlist is better than D2’s Strike playlist
The great thing about the D1 Strike playlist were the modifiers that boosted your gameplay. There was Small Arms that made primary weapons stronger. There was Specialist that made special weapons stronger. There was Airborne that gave you increased damage when you were in the air. The rewards were more frequent in comparison to D2. With scoring added to the D2 playlist the amount of reputation earned has decreased compared to before it was added. There are too many Battle Grounds in the mode compared to actual Strikes. At least remove the ones that are from Season of the Chosen as those use zones from patrols and areas accessible from patrol. Instead of adding new seasonal activities to the Strike playlist update the Strikes that are in the DCV like the Mercury and Io strikes

3 RepliesD1's nearly everything is better than D2's nearly anything. Why do you think the entire selling point of Final Shape is mostly D1 callbacks?
-
On a basic content amount level, Destiny 1 has more strikes because none were ever sunset, so it retains the total of 17. Currently if I'm not mistaken there are only 13 in rotation for destiny 2, more if you count the battlegrounds, but you get the idea.

couldnt have said it better

Once upon a time Bungie cared. That was a long time ago.
-
D2 is already broken at launch. They tried to revert it back but it’s too late. Guess who was making D2? People that don’t know how to make videogames because they are not real game developers. Bwahahahahahaha!!! Laughable! Welcome to hollowness!

Guardian,Archon Of LightRIP Destiny 9-14-2014 to 2-18-2026 - old
D1 strikes are better structured, and power enabled 350, with interesting modifiers to shake things up(oh how Telesto fed during Specialist Void Burn weeks), making them challenging enough to be fun, but not a slog You rarely saw anyone speed running them, plus you could farm exotic engrams and strike themed weapons and armor , I wish they would bring the Devouring Maw from Saber 2, and the dark blades helm, and the hood of Malok for Hunters to D2, strike armor from D1 is better than all D2 raid armor, with the exception of Crota I honestly wish they would just remaster D1 with 60 FPS and manteling, and I would probably just play it for my Destiny fix -
I wish we got some of those strikes back. I really loved the strike where you fight this ogre boss, and he drops the hunter arm piece. Oh man, those were the days, haha!

4 RepliesI honestly just wish they’d go outside the box and use their imagination,I mean who can forget the eliksni dude who had the ogre eyeball for a rifle.

Remember how they added that IO strike then removed it from the game in like 3 months

Million times better. Weapons are better. Luv D1 weapons!!
-
Strike specific loot was nice, the Darkblade hive helmet was super dope, I also really like my kinetic Palindrome that I got as a random drop in the Siva strikes. Strikes are still fun in D1 and usually are solo now, solo strikes are doable and should be a QoL feature in D2. What I really miss from D1 was the mostly symmetrical armor and that Warlocks weren't forced to wear a dress.

Stop living in the past go play the game see how boring it feels, yea youll feel nostalgia and be like “i miss this” that quickly wears off when you enter a strike and see “man this game plays really slow”

12 RepliesAnd D1 strikes were better and D1 raids were better and everything in D1 was better.
-
They play the same. In d1 you got a positive modifier and two negatives. It's the same exact system.
-
So much about D1 was better, from the subclass trees to strikes
-
If bungie would have updated d1 to 60fps change the subs to what we have now in d2 I can see lot of players going back to d1
-
2 RepliesSmall arms/arc burn. Zhalo supercell. What a joy that was, sometimes just destroying aliens is fun. Doesn't have to be this boredom that D2 strikes are.
-
That sounds too much like fun to be included in D2.
-
Highly agreed! The thing I also like about D1 strikes by year 3 was that the enemies you fought were randomised. In Valus Ta’aurc, it would be cabal or taken for example. We did have that for some strikes in D2 vanilla such as Pyramidion for instance but they have completely ceased doing that, and the over saturation of battlegrounds is getting ridiculous.

6 RepliesThe Undying Mind is one of my favorite strikes ever and i would pick it in the director and run the regular version sometimes too. When it would come up in the playlist, i was always happy as soon as i heard Ikora's intro because i knew it was going to be that strike. The part in the middle with the Vex Cyclops that i named "Minotaur Hill" was one of the best moments in Destiny for me. Everyone in the team could chain supers off the many elites that spawned in and it was a great uphill battle with orbs everywhere. The boss music, the vex spawning in on each side and at the gate and the battle cry of the boss himself are still fresh in my memory. The Imago Loop was also a great reward from that strike, i have a nice one still sitting in my vault as a trophy and the Titan could get a mark that looked like it was made out of grass. Another good one is the Echo Chamber strike, the Warlock could get gauntlets that had a neat vex look to them and the Imago Loop dropped there as well in the chest. I also liked the gauntlets for the Titan from the Shield Brothers strike and Treads Upon Stars was also great. I used that scout rifle for endgame content back then, i really liked the roll i had with life support and explosive rounds. I actually liked a majority of the strikes in D1, but the Psion Flayers strike came up a lot for me and i do mean lot haha, but at least you could get the cloak for the Hunter in Void, Arc or Solar.

Strike playlist is so boring. Huge reason why destiny can’t grab new players for real. Core playlist vanguard (super bland and boring) pvp (neglected, and filled with cornballs who play scared) gambit (should be a better mode but bungie doesn’t give af)
-
D1 - built with love, crafted with passion and care, by talented, engaged, inspired devs. D2 - designed around reaping as much reward (ie £$E) for as little work as possible, by people who wear PJs to work (and on customer presentations). tl/dr D1 - passion D2 - greedy and laziness
-
3 RepliesI miss that darkest strike from D1 with that knight.
-
Edited by Merx: 9/9/2023 6:56:09 AMI miss them too. My biggest pet peeve is them soft locking bosses. Just LET US melt them. Also battle grounds ARE NOT STRIKES. it's recycled boring seasonal missions

10 RepliesEdited by Asylum: 9/9/2023 1:06:46 PMD1 strike playlist is better than most playlists in D2. The strikes in D1 are better than the raids in D2. *edit* (Dont care if i hurt your feelings, only thing better about D2 than D1 is movement and gunplay, everything else sucks and idc if you disagree or not 🤷♂️)
