You Might be a True Year One Player if...

Note: This is not to classify anyone as elitist or superior or anything else. I don't want an emblem or recognition. I just want to reminisce with my fellow guardians. So you might be a true Year One Guardian... If you remember scouring the Beta for hours and spending inordinate amounts of time shooting ??? enemies to see if they could die and if they would give any cool loot. If you listened to the bones in Skywatch "speak" and know exactly to what they are referring. If you spent hours on end developing chest farming runs in an effort to get ahead on resources. If you hoarded glimmer items by farming Cabal in Exclusion Zone so you could afford multiples of guns from Iron Banner for each character. If you got to 26 for the first time on multiple characters by virtue of The Queen's hatred for specific preexisting enemies (in particular our friend the rising Archon from the first mission). If you didn't have to worry about doing hard mode Atheon at level 29 because that's what level everyone else was too. If you watched Suros and the Mythoclast's cataclysmic falls from grace. If you're holding on to a Shadow Price/Grim Citizen/Vanquisher or Supremacy because they're your babies. If you remember control on First Light (or even First Light in general anymore). If you have seen Xur sell the Gjallarhorn. If you remember countless trips to the Tower to rearrange gear on characters. If you've experienced the sorrow of only getting ascendant shards when you NEED TO UPGRADE YOUR GUNS. If you seriously contemplated forfeiting a weapon or armour piece so you could upgrade your sparrow. If seeing "Fangs of Nyx" got you excited... Until you found out it was just an ugly ship. If you've had several talks with yourself trying not to get your hopes up, because that purple engram is almost definitely a blue... Or worse... Addition 1- If you broke the Atheon fight into 2 teams of 3, an inside group and an outside group. Addition 2- If you remember how much Xur hated Warlocks. And/or loved the Sunbreakers... Addition 3- If you supered at heavy drop in pvp because you got more heavy by killing all the enemies who picked it up than by grabbing it yourself. Addition 4- If the interceptor driver was the equivalent of a thorn/final round sniper user today. Addition 5- If you remember hunting 3 fallen walkers. Except it wasn't 3. It was more like 8. More to come. Note: No old cheeses will make their way on to this list. This is a noble list meant for nostalgia and pride, not shame and underhanded shiftyness.

  • I wonder how many times I'm still going to have to say this, but. You're a real veteran if you: -Farmed the first loot cave -Struggled as a lvl 29 -Doing VoG on normal was hard. -Remember Combined Arms being the "standard" game mode, aka Control. (But that was in the Alpha and Beta though) -Remember your Legendary Engrams being decrypted into rares. -[b]And most important of all, having the Sign of Founders.[/b]

      • Vanquisher is still used to this day, whether it's an auto rifle or not. Also, Xur can't get enough of those Sunbreakers.

        • I remember these days well. I remember grinding strikes for engrams to upgrade my Chryptarch (pre patches of course) for a chance at legendaries (I instead got a Gjalihorn).

On the enemies in the tunnels on cosmodrome and still tried to kill them. Had many weapons with shoot to loot. Now got my first, since, at level 33.
