Yes. I said it. So much better.
[b]HoW era[/b]
•[b]Where my Sex Mythoclasts and Nechrogasms at?!!!!!!!!! Where is my QueenBreakers Blow, and Gregs Promise (NEEDS BUFFFFFF) and Lord of Wolves (THIS THING IS A BEAST) [/b]
•Nightfall (with good rewards) x3
1. BLUE FLAME
2. CRAZY REPUTATION BOOST
•Weekly heroic (highest level) x3= 27 strange coins
•2 raids, and PoE [b](RELEVANT)[/b]
----Patrol was worth doing! Pack of Wolves (With treasure chest) and Sword of Crota spawns (Skywatch was amazing)
•Elemental Primaries
•Re-rolling crappy perked weapons. [b]Once got a Hard Luck Charm with bad perks, re-rolled it twice and got Luck in the Chamber and Final Round.[/b]
•Etheric Light system was amazing
•Bonds, cloaks and marks didn't have light which was -blam!-ing awesome so you could wear anything and look sexy af
•Trials wayyyyy easier back then (I went flawless 5 times year 1, only 3 so far year 2, why you may ask? Back then the Meta was offensive, now everyone uses sniper and sits back camping).
•Daily [b]Gave actual good rewards. Got two legendary engrams.[/b]
•Crucible Marks and Vanguard Marks (WAY BETTER!)
•More strikes than just Taniks, and Taniks over again
•Prefer Thorn/TLW (Mida, red death, auto rifles, all still good) now we are just stuck with only TLW and Sniper combo (COUGH COUGH NKUCH COUGH COUGH)
•GJALLAHORN
•BETTER LIGHT SYSTEM AND REWARD SYSTEM. You could wear any armor or weapon with a set light level so it is equal to all others**[i]NOTE[/i]
•Good exotics that are good, and not useless (Alchemists Raiment, Symbiote)
**[i]NOTE:[/i] [b]Back then the reward system for raids, PoE and trials was good. Everything had a set light drop. Kings -blam!-ing fall has given me lower level drops then I need "Smart Loot System" my ass. [/b]
[b]Edit: Got more year 1 players? Tell me and I will add it.[/b]
Fight me, lose you will hmmmm?

2 RepliesPretty much everything before the current game was better. Game gets worse every patch.

I enjoy play destiny 8 months before HoW comes out. It help me polish my skills even longer, meet new friends, and no one is jerking on teammates during Raids but help each other. But TTK make it lot worst.

1 ReplyI agree. HoW was the best highlight of destiny.TTK has been a disaster and it seems bungie doesnt care at all.
-
Indeed it was. Indeed it was...
-
2 RepliesCompletely agree with you 100% I enjoyed my time much more then. This is purely a grindfest.
-
1 ReplyThat's when I started playing. It was the Golden Age. Until the Darkness (Year 2) found us.

1 ReplyI miss the good old times...

The HoW era really wasn't around that long
-
I definitely had more fun in HoW because all raids were still relevant. Elemental primaries were a blessing in disguise Etheric Light was perfect.
-
I loved the HoW era
-
not reading because I know it is already true.

The best part of HoW was the customization/ ethric light. I only wish they had released a raid instead and make a horde mode a PVE thing that was not endgame but had endgame rewards at certain lvls. And just from me saying that I'm ultimately a better game dev than anyone at bungie. They should have used a material like ethric light that upgrades materials like HoW did I was actually expecting that to happen since the system worked so well and I was ready to use this new system in a new raid but sadly they love to experiment with new systems that obviously don't work even on paper. They clearly are trying to whore out hours off of the player base and money from the hardcore fanboys who want new emotes and new crap from deals (new player sparrow deal or whatever it was called) they have stooped so low and it really makes me sad.

Revisionist history. HoW (for me) was blink shotguns, shot package, thorn, tlw, running the same raids I'd run for months before HoW, standing one spot for hours with ice breaker, black hammer, or gjallarhorn for nearly every activity, doing skolas once & swearing to never do that shit again, doing that shit 3 more times, useless burn primaries from PoE, useless burn primaries from trials (except for the messenger) doing nightfalls (& wondering why I'm doing them after maxing out my gear), & getting bored after the 3 weeks it took me to max out all of the gear I cared about. Trials & iron banner were always fun for me, but I still do that now in ttk, without the thorns & blink shotguns running rampant.

I liked that they had a whole different set of weapons that dropped from doing strikes. (not the super rare strike specific stuff). You would get legendaries like every 5th strike or crucible match. Now drops are super rare again for some reason, even though there is no reforging so we have to rely on getting good rolls through RNG. I'm fine with no rerolling, but make stuff drop more often to compensate. HoW had tons of drops even if you only needed on drop to reroll. BRING BACK THE DROPS!!!

2 RepliesWell The beginning of Y1 sucked pretty bad but as soon as other DLC's came out it became a lot better. Give Y2 a few months and see what happens
-
1 ReplyAwww, and in the middle of all you mention the thing that kept the PvE side as salty as ever. The Gjallar-f[i][b]u[/b][/i]cking-horn. The gun I never held any real feelings, which I was the most happy to dismantle. Never miss it, idk about you.

Gregs---> Mr Fruit

1 ReplyI still prefer the vanilla days of Destiny better when everyone was struggling to become light 30 at the time. But for me I was forever 29 until The Dark Below DLC came out xD
-
Oh such a short lived era.... When I use to run around with The Messenger and Ice Breaker then they nerfed The Messenger straight into the ground such a shame
-
6 RepliesBeing able to re-roll your legendaries was best part of HoW.
-
Everything about year 1 was better
-
Still prefer vanilla destiny. Was way more fun imo.
-
Bungie just loves to duck the big issues. Just look at the community wishlist and the lack of movement on it.
-
I def agree with you. There was so much in the HoW era. Only thing I hated getting the etheric light lol.
