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.
