While I was waiting for the patch to download...
I played a D1 mission. Big deal right?
Let me tell you how it went down.
I opened D1. The menu music gave me chills once again. I remembered the first time I heard it, D1 beta. I still can't get over that music. Logging into the character selection, I once again go with my tried and true Warlock, decked out in regal gear that I stole from a hive god! Those were the good old days.
Coming into orbit, I wonder what activity I should select. Ah! Heroic story missions! It's got void burn, and it will give me a treasure of ages! I launch the activity, and go to my menu to rectify my loadout. Palindrome, good solid primary. Praedyths Revenge, the best sniper ever (fight me)! And, DARK DRINKER!!! Everyone loves an exotic sword!
The mission starts, I notice subtle differences in the hud compared to D2. Not anything huge. But then I throw my axion bolt at some enemies, they're dead. But what's this? My grenade is charged again! A low ripple of laughter leaves my lips as I suddenly remember why everyone TRULY loves destiny. Not the grind, nor the raids, nor the god rolls, not even trials. But the pure and unbridled power of the SPACE MAGIC!!
I become the fearsome space vampire once again. I toss my grenade, I blink, melee. Group of enemies, Nova bomb, Obsidian Mind. My super is already halfway charged again. I weave through the battleground, a master of lethal movement.
When I'm finished with the mission, I decide to open my treasure of ages. What do I get? The robes of triumph!! Something I still hadn't managed to acquire. I throw it on, along with the boots and helmet, the only other pieces I have. Dang! I think to myself, this armor looks 5x better than D2! I suddenly feel the call of other D1 activities. "But I play D2 now!" I think, but I'm sad, cause I miss all the D1 activities already.
And D2... D2 is slowing down. Three weeks in, and I don't have anything left to do. And I didn't even "grind like crazy!" The hype train hit a brick wall. I don't want this game to fail, I want it to far surpass D1! But we need to face it, if Bungie doesn't do something soon, there's going to be a massive falling away.
Bungie, I want the game you promised four years ago. I'm still waiting.

Vanilla Destiny compared to Destiny at the end of its cycle was totally different. I suspect D2 will change quite alot too over the years.

You don't have shit to grind for in D1 either.

Did you put a shader on, then switch to another one, because you like it better; then switch it over to another character, because you didn't feel like running to the kiosk, when you changed characters; then switch it back again, and... bum, bum, buuuuum... Were shocked because you still had it? Oh the small things. Never thought something so simple, and taken for granted in D1, would amuse me so much.

You did all that while the patch downloaded, i think you need better internet.

50 RepliesYou do realize your essentially comparing the very end game of D1 and all it offered at its ending point to the first 3 weeks of D2 right? I have seen this type of comparison (intentionally and unintentionally) left and right since the game launched and it boggles my mind. Three years ago D1 had so little in its first several weeks and far less then what D2 has right now. Yet, it appears people cannot comprehend that because they feel the D2 should have launched with the same level of content as D1 had at its end. Doesn't work that way.

"The menu music gave me chills once again. I remembered the first time I heard it" Agreed I was watching the cabal strike (forgot the name, it was psn exclusive for a bit) and had the same effect, the music is OP, magical composer

Raises tequila* *sobbing* It's so true... I want it to be better...

DROPS MIC, STARTS A SLOW CLAP!!!!!!

I'm finding that most of the gear is sort of 'bland' looking. Thereby necessitating shader application. It shouldn't be that way imo.

1 ReplyThis reminds me bungo make it so we can see old post again ill be willing to bet most of you glorifying d1 have endless complaint threads about it. D1 was awful in so many ways im not sure why people glorify it its like you want this to be your halo 2 so when 3 comes out you can bitch and feel elitists or something lol
-
21 RepliesDoes everyone forget how dry the content was in D1 only a few weeks after launch? It took them years to come out with all the things you all say you miss about D1. Everything about the game was better in years 2 and 3, you have to give it time we do not have that much content to work with yet...the D2 story and expansions need to be told first before we get all the cool endgame stuff.
-
Must say when the update/server is down I went back to D1 it a lot more fun doing strikes and just normal mission d2 is good but d1 for some reason is just a little better.

Edited by Hulk: 9/26/2017 1:34:15 PMI love this post. I feel you, I got on Destiny last night, and I fell in love all over again. I think Destiny 2 will be a great sequel, it's fate. Or, as some call it, DESTINY. Light be with you, Guardian.
-
Post gave me chills! Like others have pointed out... Cant really compre week3 to year 3+ content. I am sure the same thing will happen from D2 to D3 4 years from now.
-
Well said guardian.

3 RepliesI just realized that orpheus rigs is just the obsidian mind on steroids.

Wow that was an oddly detailed story of something simple. Someone's a good writer. However was kind of cringey have to admit.

Dude I want that feeling again...

I played all of the d1 original earth missions (+devils lair)
-
I hope to get all my luminous engrams knocked out before the weekend, that way I can play destiny 1.
-
The real problem these days is they found a new formula! DLC's rank up the income by millions! And no....lets not finish the game....lets bring out an unfinished game full of bugs (contacting destiny servers) and work it out through gameplay.......funny how people fall for this...including me lol!!!

5 RepliesHow many posts did you write bitching about Destiny 1 before Destiny 2 was a thing??
-
Completely disagree.
