[b][i]The Grind[/i][/b] ~ At times year 1 had the most frustrating grind in the history of gaming but it pushed me to do all end game activities on all my characters every week if not for raid gear than the slight chance of an exotic drop. ~ Year 2 has a non existent grind, obtaining all the exotics (which are meant to be special) is as simple as eating a few 3 of coins, legendary drops are as often as rares, and no gear fells truly unique in year 2. [b][i]Leveling Gear[/i][/b] ~ In year 1 getting the gear ex) Fatebringer was only half the battle, you then had to use it to power it up giving an insensitive to do daily bounties and the nightfall to get that slight exp bonus. ~ Now you just eat motes of light and max out a gun in seconds which is just lazy. [b][i]Nightfall[/i][/b] ~ I used to do the nightfall every week on all my characters hoping for the icebreaker or ghorn and if I didn't get it o well there was always next week I just wanted my flaming head and exp bonus. [b][i]Exotics[/i][/b] ~ The exotics of year 2 are terrible and useless the only exotics you actually see used in year 2 are the updated year 1 weapons and even they are just a shadow of the former selfs. ~ Way to easy to obtain, I remember fellow guardians holding the exotic chest cp in the vault just so people could have a chance at their desired exotics ... But wait there's an exotic chest in Kings Fall, however no body ever holds that checkpoint because it's worthless, I mean why hold that cp when you could just farm story missions that have an ultra with some 3 of coins? ~ Quest Exotics, half the exotics added in year 2 are obtained through quests which is a problem because they are so easy to do, in year 1 if you saw someone with a ghorn you praised them for the grind they endured or were envious of there luck. [b][i]Raid Gear[/i][/b] ~ The raid gear of year 1 was so much more rewarding to obtain once you saw a Fatebringer or a Black Hammer pop up on your screen you knew you got what you've been grinding for, However in year 2 the raid weapons are all but useless and for the most part only serve as infusion fuel. [i][b]Legendary Marks[/b][/i] ~ Now for those of you Taken Tots who don't know before there were legendary marks there were Vanguard and Crucible Mark respectively. If you wanted to buy that vanguard sniper but you were primarily a PvP player you would have to do some strikes. If you were a PvE player and you wanted a crucible hand cannon you would play some crucible game modes. ~ This is just my opinion the the new currency I like the separation between PvP and PvE. [b][i]Bounties[/i][/b] ~ I used to do daily bounties in hopes of getting an exotic bounty, but I haven't done bounties in months. [b][i]Gear Appearance[/i][/b] ~ This is just my opinion but year 1 had some of the best looking gear, especially vanilla destiny. ~ the Vault gear made you look like the vex Crotas gear made you look like the hive. ~ Year 2 gear looks so average in my opinion, especially the raid gear. [b][i]Soundtrack[/i][/b] ~ year 1 had the most beautiful soundtrack where as year 2 is an average soundtrack. These were just a few opinions off the top of my head please favorite this and comment so someone at bungie hears me if you agree with my statements. Feel free to add ideas to my thread. If you played through year 1 and totally disagree with my statements that's ok. If you made it through the entire list of demands props to you.

    As someone who played a ton, I enjoyed it... It made destiny feel like an mmo and I had incentive to do stuff. Now I don't care about exotics AT ALL. I don't even care about getting max gear. The elemental primaries and the other guns had stories to them and getting them were only half the battle, leveling them up was fun as I actually had to do stuff. I just don't care anymore, it's all just to easy in a sense.. Don't get me wrong I still have fun now and everything is simple, but it's turned into such a casual experience, almost like an arcade game. I'm still playing though, just not anywhere near as much.

  • [quote]~ year 1 had the most beautiful soundtrack where as year 2 is an average soundtrack.[/quote] 110% agree, so far the RoI soundtrack sounds promising.

    I dont agree with anything you said. Grinding sucks...big time. Also exaggerating looses you respect. Legendaries dont not drop as much as rare blues do. Most ppl i know did not enjoy the Y1 exotic bounties except when they were over. Not because they got the wep. Just because it was done. The journey was horrible. I dont want to type anymore to address other points. But imo. Y2 is far better than Y1 overall.

    I do not agree with your bit on exotic quests (among other points). Most of the exotic quests were just as grindy as their year 1 friends, I can't think of one that didn't make you rip your hair out in frustration. Whether it was waiting for public events/certain days (sleeper simulant), farming ultra rare planet material drops and having to do more complex heroic strike (all 3 swords), having to use imprecation and wait forever (first curse), using last word (if you have it) to do especially well in crucible (the chaperone), completing a VERY long questline after you finish the main TTK story (Boolean Gemini), completing the raid at least once and collecting almost every calcified fragment (touch of malice), or completing a very hard side quest added onto a normal hard story mission (black spindle), they were all long and/or arduous. The only ones that were "easy" were the class exclusive weapons. And those required sacrifice on your part by dismantling a certain type of weapon to get them, and legendary drops were pretty sparing in the first few weeks of TTK when you needed them all to get to a decent light level. I thought they were all on equal level as year 1 exotic quests. I actually did some of the year 1 exotic quests faster, that being aside from the fact that there were only five (I think) questline exotics year 1 and there are numerous in year 2. [Thorn, super good advice, pocket infinity, bad juju, and invective. Yeah, five.] I do agree that non quest exotics in general are too easy to get thanks to three of coins, those things made exotics into mostly infusion fuel.
