Thank You

With the Moments of Triumph update now out, and the final live service update now in our hands, I just want to take a moment to thank both the Destiny 2 developers and the Destiny community. To the Devs, I want to thank you for all of the hard work and effort that was put into the game. I started back in 2018 after looking for a game to replace Warframe while I was recovering from burnout, and was fortunate enough to be introduced to D2 during Season of the Worthy. I'll admit, it took me a while to really get hooked, as I wasn't fully sure of what I was doing or even what I was supposed to do, especially when I encountered Champions for the first time with no idea that the artifact even existed. Yet I pushed through. I really started to get my bearings in Season of Arrivals, almost no-lifing the game on the weekends and sinking my teeth into the weapons, the lore, the gameplay, and especially the old campaigns. It was when Beyond Light released that I truly fell in love with the D2 universe and its story. The world felt so alive, I felt truly invested in the characters, I became deeply invested in the lore (especially thanks to MynameisByf), and I was eager to see where this game would take me in the future. For all of that hard work, care, and compassion that every last developer poured into this game, you have my utmost gratitude, and I could never thank you all enough. To the community, I want to thank you all for not just being so incredible, but for helping me break out of my shell and my comfort zone when it came to gaming. For the vast majority of my life, I played games alone with few exceptions. Even when it came to Warframe, I'd play solo because I was always anxious when playing with other people (and also because my internet sucked back then lol), and it wasn't until Beyond Light that I began to open up. I wanted to do raids back before BL came out, but I was afraid that I would be limited by the random assortment of gear I'd scraped together and be more of a hindrance than an asset in a raid. Ironically, sunsetting gear gave me the perfect excuse to take the leap and run Deep Stone Crypt with a group of random guardians through LFG. That single run not only boosted my confidence in my abilities but also opened the door for me to break out of my comfort zone and become more social. For the most part, raiding became a regular thing for me. I'd always LFG with random guardians, become more experienced, more confident, and soon started doing Grandmaster Nightfalls as well as Dungeons. I made friends, I pushed myself and my abilities, and I even managed to Solo (and in at least one case, solo flawless) dungeons. Despite what people have said about LFGing, I don't think I've had a single bad experience with it or any guardians I've encountered. The LFG scene felt welcoming, people were willing to teach and cooperate, and were it not for this community as well as this game, I'm certain that I would still be an antisocial shut-in with zero social skills. Despite the more unsavory side of this community, I'm beyond proud to have been a part of this community and share in the experiences and memories we've made as guardians. My point in all of this rambling is this: Despite the ups and downs that this community as well as this game has had, from the highest highs (Pantheon, Into the Light, Raiding, Final Shape, etc.) to the lowest lows (Sunsetting, Edge of Fate, content drought, etc.), I'm glad that I got to be a part of this community, experience the Destiny universe, and to make my own fate as a Guardian of Humanity. I wouldn't trade all these years and experiences for anything in the world, and would do it all again. Thank you for everything, and here's to our future.
