Everyone is out here acting like Destiny 1 was a gift from God
I have a few questions for you...
Where were you when I was farming planet materials for hours just to upgrade a gun or two or actually make my exotic feel like it was supposed to?
Where were you when we got nothing but shards and energy in the raid, cheesed it like crazy, and had no changes on hard mode to be seen except severely putting 29s at a large damage disadvantage and no respawns? Friendly reminder if you didn't get a piece of gear you had to wait until the next week to progress...
Where were you when Thorn reigned king as the only way an average or even good player could possibly compete in crucible for more than half a -blam!-ing year with no changes!?
Where were you when there was a "heavy ammo drought" where no one had synths since they took them off Xur very purposefully and we had to empty out our weapons entirely to glitch heavy just to shoot down the most basic designed raid boss in history (Crota) in a raid where again everyone cheesed every single section and there was a total of 1 new hard mode mechanic?
Where were you when they decided no more small expansions and that they were going to call Festival of The Lost and things that were designed to make more silver "new content funded by silver"? This lasted an entire year until RoI.
Gtfo out if you think D2 is much worse. Yeah maybe it's worse than Age of Triumph, their swan song where they brought everything in three years together. But it sure as hell isn't worse than the low points of Destiny 1 where we all continued chugging on until the next expansion anyway. They had time to learn yes but a team was building this game while D1 was still in progress. Mind you most of the changes again came from player feedback on these forums (not all but most). So stop giving shit feedback. They know the important things we want already believe me.

Compared to Destiny 2, it was.

The only reason people bought D2 is because they thought it would have similar game modes as D1 year three did. I bought D2 for the story, unique weapon perks and Heroic strikes. Story was ok at best. No special perks on any weapons. No Heroic strikes. Its not the same. In fact D2 vanilla is a lot worse than D1 vanilla. D1 vanilla at least had some mystery behind it. We explored the universe and figured things out. The story was terrible but the lore was way better. D2 has no mystery. It has stories you can't replay. Its a shallow game.

1 ReplyIt’s just nostalgia. D1 had more than it’s fair share of problems. The problem is that D1 turned out to be a decent game after 3 years of adjustments and tuning. With D2, they took all that knowledge, feedback and everything they did over the course of D1 and flushed it down the toilet. Instead of adding the best parts of D1 (and more) we are reverted to a hollow minimalistic game that has very very few of the awesome features y3 D1 had.

2 RepliesD1 kept me playing for three years. I don't see D2 doing that. I'm almost ready to stop playing now.

i really miss saving my bounties and grinding for mats to upgrade a weapon that would be replaced when i got a different roll i thought would be "better." [spoiler]i hardly ever noticed a difference. [/spoiler]

I was there for most of that.... [spoiler]...and it was much much better than D2.[/spoiler]

5 RepliesI agree with you about D1 - I am a D1 Beta vet. But, in D2 I think Bungie really need to rethink some huge steps - the dumbed-down subclasses and fixed weapon/ armor roles are one thing. Ok, they wanted to change stuff up - fine! But then there should be like 4-5+ paths or more in a subclass; not 2 and there should be a huge number of more guns OR a more adequate mod system that does more than give your gun +5 or an elemental damage. The meager mod system is such a hugely wasted opportunity for them to make weapons special . The Armor mods are at least a step in the right direction. Offering more things to mod your gear with. Heroic strikes and story playlists. Why not ? Why aren't past story mission and strikes up on the map as nodes so you can select and replay them whenever? Crucible playlists including: Rumble, Rift, Combined arms, mayhem, inferno. um 6v6. Private Matches ? Where are they ? Some of this stuff they had in D1 by the end of Age of Triumph so why not bring those features into D2, and NOT make the game less after 3 years ? For example I am playing Warframe, just got into it the past 2 weeks and I have 4 years of gear, weapons, and do-dads to grind for !? Holy crap. Why isn't Destiny even half as much as this? Destiny was sold as a continuous 10 year campaign without "sequels" why did all the content of D1 have to disappear to have D2 go forward? Weapon balance and catering to PVP? OK. All our D1 gear is gone. Fine! A new weapon load out, Fine. There are fixes to all the problems those bring. But why is so much not in the game. D2 should have been most of D1 - brought forward into D2, IMO. So NOW D2 just feels empty ATM with nothing meaningful to do and nothing meaningful to get. Is D2 a bad game ? NO. But it could have been MUCH more. that's my 2cents.

2 RepliesSee none of that stuff really mattered because the core game mechanics made D1 fun to play. Because of that those “problems” that you listed really just became silly, minor issues that many of us would look back an laugh at.

Where were you when they made all these great changes to destiny 1 and decided to leave it all behind for another half assed vanilla game?

I was doing everything over and over again to get that one gun or just have FUN chaining supers and chasing orbs. at a fundamental level, D1 is miles ahead of D2 and I dont mean content, I mean nice attributes, random rolls, supers that were super and charged up in a reasonable amount of time, I had heavys for years, as a matter of fact I have still over 400 packs of heavy in my vault. We had rocket launches that had tracking and more than one bullet, Crucible was much more fun when we were super powerful. you must forget all the great FEATURES that made D1 great, but you are right about one thing, spoiled rotten little brats ruined if for most, I dont give a blam about any meta weapon, get it and use it if its so powerfull. dont whine about it, as for grenades, I loved getting that if im going to die then you are too sticky on you, just more fun.
