Are There Any Destiny 1, Day 1 Veterans Left?

Just curious if anyone is left that has seen this thing through the beginning. Being top 2% in time spent in both Destiny 1 and Destiny 2. I have to say that all-in-all that D1 was just a better game. Better stories to play, better PVE and PVP, better playing system and better weapons. Still around and have fun but it is way more grindy these days.

  • D1 was was good in its day. But I found the raid players back then were just better to play with , more social and interesting. Played D1 again doing raids and it was just boring know it all players that can’t let go of being the best in D1. Prefer playing with chilled gamers that don’t have anything to prove. It’s not about completing the raids for me but enjoying it as well and just chatting about whatever, not a “look how good I am” bunch of players .

      I haven't played since the first day of this season. I have no interest in grinding bounties to level up the season pass. The game is a boring, unrewarding, grindy job, and made for no-life neckbeards. I can't do the pointless power level grind anymore. In D1, I used to be able to do any activity and get powerful gear all the time, not just once a week. Infusion and armor upgrades weren't overly complicated or expensive, and armor stats were simple. Mobility, Armor, and Recovery adjustments were in the skill tree, and easy to change on the fly. Tier 12 armor builds made ability cooldowns super fast, and kills and orbs of light actually gave me a good amount of super energy. Factions gave me powerful gear packages every time I levelled up, and they had weekly weapon roll rotation. Strike specific loot was guaranteed with a skeleton key, and guaranteed to be powerful gear. Nightfall strikes weren't full of bullet sponge Champions with annoying mechanics. And finally, D1 was actually fun, unlike the boring D2 grind fest. We should be grinding for rare gear, not power levels. This is a looter shooter. Bungie should take some notes from Borderlands on how to make the game rewarding, and stop making Destiny a bounty completion, and level grind simulator.

        Sadly I wasn't day 1, but year 1 on D1. I agree the game was better, especially since gear wasn't constantly nerfed. Light level used to matter. Levels was a thing. The games story was cryptic and enticing not boring and dry. At least back then the guns felt like they were actual guns and three round hand cannons were monstrously powerful. back then PvP was a gun game, not an exotics game with spam autorifle/sniper/shotgun wierdos who rely too much on there class powers then actual tactics and skills. If these new guys or F2P guys played from Destiny 1 til now they would understand this BS. These new guys deserve a Sunsetting, let em have it. It was mediocre D2, but its time for some good ol D1. Don't worry, were coming home Cayde(Tower D1).

      • We certainly enjoyed raiding more and there was certainly more laughter. I don’t even raid now, too businesslike.

        • Oh yes. Started on the ye old ps3 back then. Really wanted to play the beta, but never could figure it out, was too busy with school and whatnot, so YouTube had to do. The sad part is, I never figured out about Xur until after he sold Ghjallerhorn that first time, thought he was some type of “beat the story” type of vendor. Yes, it took me several weeks to “beat the game”. School sucks donkey ass.

        • I am D1 player and it was an amazing experience going on not knowing what to expect and random patrols. I made some fantastic american friends who first helped me. The Vault of Glass was a wake up call to being in a team and making good friends. Then crota and cheesing ther bridge which was a learning curve, you still had to communicate to win great loot that you earned. I miss strange coins, best piece of trading with xur relevant and you had to earn it. 3 characters would give you three lots of weekly strange coin. Nostalgia is the best. When did you drop your first gjallerhorn? mine was the archon priest.

        • Yes. I've held on for power fantasy (which they have been picking at again the.last several seasons) and nostalgia. I am critical of bungie. Lazy uninspired untested content and grind and a lack on an consideration for the community is all they seem to have now. Shame on them and us. They have a free to play option. Let's just do that.

        • Yep, still around: 1,921 hours in D1 1,697 hours in D2 Totally agree, still have fun, but some of the ways the game forces us to play isn't conducive to fun.

        • Destiny 1 had better loot and gear in some ways but it was way more grinder era and now... it’s still grinder era but better chances you can get exotics bungie was stingy with exotics in d1.... very much... balancing I felt was good in PvP and that’s coming from someone who never made it to the light house.... but I did feel I had a chance compared to now a days, even then people complained about special weapons and abilities but the thing was everyone could instant kill melee, instant kill grenade, and movement mattered way more but it was also map control. That’s PvP... now PvE was way more challenging and also sweaty at times and I’d say I spent more time building my gear in PvE than PvP and because PvE was challenging it made you better at PvP😂 so d1 was good in some ways, but D2 has some things going for it. One you got change up you can now get good gear from crucible sort of, and armor, and certain weapons can be obtained easier oh and it’s nice that bungie gives you and exotic every now and then😂 cause while yes I did get excited about them when they dropped it took me 3 years.... before I got bad juju.... and I wanted that one exotic just it.... and it took 3 year😂😂😂 and when I got it I was pretty damn good with it.... and it became my go too, I’d never got chaperone either in d1 and I played for a long ass time there’s a lot of exotics I never experienced in d1 I chased and didn’t get till D2 so.... it has its perk but PvP was better in d1 me personally cause everyone was overpowered in some way, and PvE was more challenging, but D2 has some cool exotics and ideas and abilities are kind of a cool concept. D1 is still better to me in some ways but those are just minor things there, it had its moments where it was bad but I do miss the light house chasing I had something forward to look to at the end of every week now I look at D2 and I used to love PvP... but of the last several months I don’t play it cause there’s nothing their in builds I could challenge in d1 cause everything had a way faster time to kill and they where similar some had an advantage but you could do well with a 110😂 you don’t use 110s in D2 never😂😂😂 But d1 had the worst custom armor going for it in D2 you got variety but the armor did look way cooler in d1, like I said though D2 did bring a better system to at least make you feel like your Character could be cool in d1 you had to pray to the shader gods and armor you could make your well stated sets look like something you put together on purpose😂 and even if it looked cool it might not had been the cooler you exactly wanted. Good times, good times... RIP Cayde 6....
