I find this amusing. You're probably joking because no human being would ever actually believe that. Id like to point out its faster in D1 to go to orbit then go to a planet than it is to just planet hop while on a planet in D2. The load times I have nicknamed nap time. Also. I really want bungie to stop putting really horrible seasons and just go back to the famine and feast model as these seasons and these events. Oh my god. They are designed to be as grindy and time consuming as possible so we dont run out of things to do as well as drip feeding content week after week. Progression in this game is horrible. In season 9 when i came back to this game i was light level 340. I got to 920 in a day. A. DAY. And it took me the rest of the season to get to max power. And the final nail in the coffin is sunsetting. Bungie. Youre game is a looter shooter. What would happen if borderlands 4 came out on october 14, 20XX. you played the hell out of it. Got to max level 50 got the best guns. Then. A year passes and on october 14 ALL of your stuff is just wiped. Yeetus deletus. Gone. All thats left is your skill points and the max level is now 100 but the new levels dont grant skill points because this is a bad example but you get my point. That would be dumb. Now you gotta grind for NEW EVERYTHING. You cant get your favorite gun conference call. Its gone, lost in the void. Thats not fun. Thats a grind with NO end. A long TEDIOUS grind and you never truly feel accomplished because you lose everything.

Have you played d1? D2 raids, strikes and world (factions lore etc) are bland and souless

While I agree that for the most part Destiny 2 is superior, Destiny defiantly did somethings better. For example, Levelling Factions Iron Banner Arms Day Xur Eververse Art style

Dreaming City only looks nice. It's overall mechanics are pretty terrible. Tangled Shore is one of the worst locations to exist in Destiny, period. Dungeons. Shattered Throne was basically empty. Pit of Heresy was largely unnecessary and Prophecy is actually pretty good. It had to make up for the rushed garbage content called Reckoning though, so with that I'd say it breaks even. Umbral Engrams. You know the things that only offer 2 weapons from a pool of past weapons. Because when I think about Season of the Undying, I think about the Hand Cannon. Not the Pulse Rifle or anything, no. Wanted. Like the things you have to wait around for to show up. Ah yes, let's play stopwatch simulator. Nightmares. Other than the Hunts, they made Lost Sectors annoying. Which made me sit out of the Season of the Lost Sectors and Watch Paint Dry in game event! Random armor stats. Because I want random stat armor to grind for, even though there is no permanence in it, so either way if you invest the time searching, you'll be both out of the time you spent and also too late to enjoy it. but hey, people love trophies and oppression. Shaders. You mean the cosmetics we have to earn or else they'll be lost? Like Eververse items? We have to earn Eververse items? Story mode? You mean the Story mode which excludes part of the story in the Raid which you can't do by yourself to learn the full story? That Story mode? The best part of D1 was going to Orbit for the music. and less subclass trees. are secrets a good thing? Why should people have to go online to figure out what to do? and you wonder why Bungie doesnt communicate as much with the community as they should. Mods. Oh like Traction! Such a wonderful mod. Almost like they subtracted a core aspect of gameplay and made it into an optional mod yiu could potentially never see or something.

Bungie fighting back in forums... 😂😂😂

Dreaming City (meh) Tangled Shore (mediocre after campaign) Dungeons (haven't played, can't judge) Umbral Engrams (meh and seasonal) Wanted (literally nobody does these) Nightmares (useless) Random armor stats (were in D1 first) Ability to color armor with shaders individually (big improvement, yee) Story mode (mediocre at best, also present in D1) Not having to go to orbit every time you want to planet hop (beeg improvement) More subclasses (same number of subclasses, less customizability) More secrets (yeah) Mods (are also just meh) You forgot clambering, that was a big one. Other than that, D1 was mostly better. My ideal game would include the graphics, technical improvements, and gameplay improvements (clambering, shader application, etc) of D2 with the [i]vastly[/i] superior gear design, subclass customization, destinations, power fantasy, teward economy, and gameplay pacing of D1.

D2 is too much of an arcade shooter. While D1 is still a piece of shit, Bungie’s continued refusal to learn from the past gave us an even shifter piece of shit. They had a chance to improve class configurations, instead they dumbed it down. They had a chance to further work on weapon balance, instead they “nah -blam!- it”-ed it all out the window with their two primary nonsense at launch. They had a chance to improve upon their storytelling, but the writing and dialogue (“buT zAvaLa, thEy’Re atTacKinG thE tRavELeR”) is cringey at best. Destiny 2 is the epitome of disappointment.

Americans and their disagreements. No wonder your country is so devided.

Yeah, let's be real. Most players here would trade away Gambit, Trials, a couple raids, and 4 of our horde modes just to have factions, gunsmith packages and vendor refreshes back. D1 did a [b]lot[/b] of things better that are somehow missing from D2.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Did someone get triggered that they "had to make a posts" to say, oh no you don't! 2 post about the first game being better, I'll show you! [spoiler]Love the upvotes 👍[/spoiler]
