For the record my original profile was here 1 1/2 years before this one I’ve had. Let me be frank, I’ve loved the destiny franchise. The lore, gameplay, music, art, design, ALL OF IT. I haven’t been on it in months. Back in 2011-2012 I sat and checked the (never changing site) on bungies promo page for destiny imagining this insane awesome fantasy world with guns (favorite genre for me) sci fi fantasy with light and dark and exploring the lost worlds of humanity and exploring and doing what we want. I fully enjoyed most all of D1 (but I never beat oryx :( cuz my time was limited and never got a single raid specific weapon, ever. (Unless you count the prison of elder weapons) Again lack of raid time but I played every single one only oryx was incomplete. I enjoyed my journey and experience with everything. Then came Destiny 2. I actually avoided it entirely until the last 8 hours till launch, when I finally said: ok fine, let’s get it. When I transferred my guardian, and watched and read the records of my victories, I was astonished and teared up at it especially how each “theme” music played in it. It was amazing I loved it. I texted people I hadn’t heard from in months sending pics of us clearing certain raids and missions. Then I went and beat campaign, and then did my weekly activities. I was happy. No longer did I have to go do raids for power. Now I just go do activities for a week. Interest finally died down. I played until week 2 of...whatever the last yearly expansion was I don’t even remember now. I’m trying so hard to remember where Cayde dies oh it hurts to try to think I’m not kidding here I don’t remember. I sat and watched YouTube story walkthrough because a girl had played me the day it came out so I was an emotional wreck and I hated the new game changes. Suffice to say, destiny 2 is no longer apart of the journey I started on. I think veterans (who specifically started this journey over 5 years ago and know where we started) can agree. That doesn’t mean I hate bungie or activision or the current destiny world I’ll probably get back in when the dark fleet finally arrives. BUT I’m gonna hate my life trying to play. I’m personally gonna wait till the direction changes and I come back to start a new journey or continue my old one. What about y’all? Humor an old player talk with me. It’s been ages since I’ve thought about all this.
