    Good times…have many memories playing D1 with my son and watching him teach people how to raid (he could solo Crota), seeing him flip out over getting Gjallarhorn, and he was a great Crucible player.

  • Ahh simpler times, we got to finish all the Earth missions and then invade the moon on the final day. I only found out about Destiny due to comic con haha, but had some great memories in D1.. Just sad my old gang quit 😩

      I was a Call of Duty player for several years prior. Went to Gamestop Expo in 2014 and saw the presentation for Destiny. . Two weeks later I waited in line for its release. . Never touched COD again. Been playing Destiny ever since. . Destiny has gotten me through my toughest times. Loss of Father, Loss of GF… But it also inroduced me to many new friends across the globe. .

      • can't believe it's been 8 years since launch. i wasn't technically a day 1 guardian. my brother called me up 3 days after it launched and said you gotta get this game. picked it up and thought i'll give it a shot. was the only game i played for 6 straight years. sadly i had to completely give up gaming 2 years ago because my work schedule/hours changed. what little free time i had was spent with family. just not enough hours in the day. i wanted to come back several times , but realized Destiny isn't really something you can get by with only playing a couple days a week. my schedule has adjusted back to what it was before, so been thinking about a return. just not sure i can devote the hours like i did before.

          • I remember going to the midnight launch at the GameStop in the town I went to college at. I didn't have any classes on Tuesday, so it worked out perfectly. They had a contest to throw a football into a box to get one of their promotional decorations and I won and kept that decoration in the dorm for a while. Put a lot of time into the game that day.

          • I remember how awesome an experience and expected joy i had exploring the game with my friends. Creating a clan...making new friends..what a great community it once was...sherpaing...the joy of just playing to play and chat through age of triumph. I remember the screams of joy in my headset when my friend got the ghorn....day 1 raids up all night with friends...skolas that first night...so many memories. Running sword for the first time. Grinding to get vex...which i didnt get until house of wolves...having races through the lanterns of abyss...the loot cave...solo night falls...pushing atheon off with a friend...uniting in the tower after raids dancing and emoting with the new raid emblems and gear. Saving check points and running relic or sword or stairs so kinderguardians could learn mechanics or have the joy of experience a raid and the loot. That joy has faded to what the game has evolved into fomo...time gates...and the community...well lfg aint what it was. The above feeling no longer exist for new light guardians. Or who were not here. But that stuff in wrote above is why I'm still here...enjoying the power fantasy and crucible.

            • I remember running around the Mothyards first day looking at the scrapped Antonovs and thinking "how cool is this?" Then a Warsat fell on me.

                • After 8 years, I’m looking at my rear-view mirror while playing this game. That’s because the game is moving backwards in reverse. Game has been taking one step forward, but taking two steps backwards. Literally!🤣 Hence, we are moving really fast in reverse. After 8 years, game is now running backwards.

                • Happy Anniversary to you Guardian. I remember hatching a plan with my then 13 year old son to wake him up at midnight so we could play the Beta together. We had the best time and he still reminds me every now and then how much it means to him. In week two I think, I remember discussing with clan mates whether to buy Gjallarhorn with our precious Strange Coins. “Why would you waste them on a heavy?” we agreed. Thankfully it dropped in game shortly after. My knees going to jelly when a clan mate and I completed a flawless Crota run with every jump and sword swing a moment of terror. The thrill of that first raid or secret mission completion like Whisper and Zero Hour (my absolute fav). Or the fun of managing the poison in the Prison of Elders. So many memories and good times with my son and clan mates. Over 11,000 hours in game later it’s still the only game I play. Whether you enjoy it or not, there is no denying that Bungie created a universe that has given many people a ton of enjoyment over the years. I only hope that the end of the Light and Dark saga spawns the beginning of another Destiny journey.
