True back then, true today. Life does move pretty fast, just as posts move pretty fast on /r/DestinyTheGame. Once a week, "This Week in /r/DestinyTheGame History" brings you some of the gems from this time last year. It's a walk down memory lane to give some perspective of where we were and how things have (or haven't) changed in the last trip around the Sun. Maybe you made the post, maybe you saw the post, maybe you missed the post. Relive it or discover it for the first time. Either way, we hope you enjoy this blast from the past.

| Posted: 01 Dec 2019 05:01 PM PST So, to quickly say, I loved D1. To say I no-lifed it would be an understatement. I clocked in 91 days 1 hour and 22 minutes on that game. Anyway, I'm seeing lots of critique posts recently. By all means, go ahead, hold Bungo's feet to the fire. But, I see one thing, a lot. Destiny 1 never had these problems.Sorry to break it to you Guardian, but, yeah it did. Transmat Firing!-Upon release, Destiny 1 was met with a mixed reception. Many people enjoyed the core gameplay elements, but found its story, loot systems and activities lacked depth. -Loot backscaling. To anyone who didn't know, essentially up until House of Wolves, engrams could scale their tier when being unlocked. So, exotics could actually relinquish legendaries, legendaries could relinquish rares, and so forth. If you thought the pinnacle grind was bad, getting a blue hand cannon from a Nightfall boss would've given you an aneurism. -PvP Balance pre TBD. Autos and fusions dominated. You'd better hope nobody on the other team had Suros, Pocket Infinity or Mythoclast, as they were 3 sure fire ways of ruining your session. -The Dark Below was generally accepted as a poor release, excluding Crota's End (althpugh wait for the next point) due to the extremely small amount of content. -Crota's End is broken and buggy all the way until Age of Triumph in Y3. You can Solo the entire raid through a series of glitches and exploits, encounters would randomly not work, plus it felt more like a long strike than a short raid. -House of Wolves. Short campaign, almost no new areas, people cry and whine about recycled content the entire expansion. Plus, no raid. -Good luck trying to beat Skolas until either A.) You get a Gjallarhorn, or B.) Bungie nerfed the encounter. On that note. -Gjallarhorn, Icebreaker, Sleeper, Black Hammer/Spindle. People think LFG elitism starts with Izanagi's? No. Most raid groups would not accept people without Ghorn. Ghorn is a broken mess that ruins PvE. And Xur only sold it twice, meaning unless you got it to drop, you were fucked. -Thorn and Last Word META. People act as though this was the golden age of Destiny PvP. It was not, it was the golden age of Destiny salt. These weapons dominated the sandbox from April until September of Year One. Forums would constantly be railing on the stupid broken guns. -Trials came out. Most people remember the life that Trials brought to the game. Most people don't remember how Trials brought hacks, glitches and sweats to the forefront of Destiny every weekend. Most people choose not to remember complaining about Lighthouse loot drops every weekend. Or dickhead strategies, like Final Round snipers, where a team of three fire off all their sniper rounds bar one, so they can body shot anyone, at any range, and then rinse and repeat until the round is over. (TBH I think Trials was a mostly positive inclusion to Destiny and I want it back, but this is a 'remember bad stuff' post) -People complain that we don't have enough to do in seasons and want DLC's back? I guess you guys forgot that there was huge content droughts between releases. After HoW was finished? 2-3 months no new content. After the first Dawning with TTK? 7 months with minimal releases. Between Rise of Iron and D2? Only 3 seasonal events, all 3 months apart. -Exotic drop rates. You think Forsaken was bad, getting your 1K after 20 runs? Child's play. I would get exotics maybe 1-2 times a month (if you consider my play time at the top, that's pretty crazy) during Year One. Good luck getting Necrochasm. You had to get a starter quest, with a really low drop rate, run the quest and then get a material from the raid to even get the gun. And it was shit. Really shit. -Eververse is introduced. No bounties, no bright dust. Only way to get those cosmetics is cold hard cash. This next bit is going to annoy people, apologies in advance. -The raids were brutal. This is a double edged sword. Personally, I loved the limited access and difficulty. But anyone rolling into the game for the first time? Nope, raids are stick behind 40+ hours of gameplay first. Most LFG's expect you to have X amounts of Clears and exotics, same as today. After a few weeks, normal mode becomes totally redundant and you only play hard mode. New guys can't even try hard until after normal is finished. Most bosses are more mechanically intense than D2 counterparts and punish mistakes hard. Oryx, Aksis and Atheon, in particular, are a nightmare if one person dies, unless they are.... -A self reviving piece of shit Sunsinger Warlock. Enjoying winning that 1v1 in Trials on the final round? Oh shit no the guy is back to life full health and throwing grenades everywhere. This guy also has a dickhead exotic called Voidfang Vestements, meaning he spawns with a grenade every life, every round, every game. I really could go on but my thumbs (on mobile sue me) are dying over here. Maybe I'll update it if the post gains some traction. But my main point is; D1 was great, but let's not always put it on a pedestal that it was the best thing since sliced bread. The game had loads of issues, we voiced those issues. Let's not forget that. We all want Destiny 2 to be better, the best it can be. But pretending it's predecessor was perfect won't fix things, it's just a scapegoat to hide behind. [link] [comments] |
| I thought I would try my hand at some Destiny Propaganda! Posted: 01 Dec 2019 09:31 AM PST Here's the link and I have separated them here if you'd like to download higher quality versions! I had fun doing them, I'll do more eventually after I do more enemy variants [link] [comments] |
| Can we talk about Bungie's promise of "Play your way"? Posted: 01 Dec 2019 08:47 AM PST Before Shadowkeep and Seasons of the Undying, Bungie has stated that they want us to "play our way", but it seems to me like the opposite has happened. It seems like the game now tells me how to play a lot more than it used to. Examples:
What do you think? To me, it seems like the game became a lot more forceful about how I should play it since Shadowkeep, and the only thing that came out that lets me "play my way" is the armor stat system and mods being permanent unlocks. Never before in Destiny have I felt like the game wants me to not use the build I made like after Shadowkeep. [link] [comments] |

| Destiny + Destiny 2's stories (and dlc) told in one sentence. Posted: 01 Dec 2019 12:20 PM PST Destiny: "What the fuck is going on?" Destiny: TDB: "Kill the sleeping guy." Destiny: HoW: "Bad dog! back in the kennel you go!" Destiny: TTK: "My name is Oryx, you killed my son, prepare to die!" Destiny: RoI: "Nanomachines, Son!" Destiny 2: "Into the Destiny 2: CoO: "We gotta help Osiris do.......something, did anyone really pay that much attention to the story?" Destiny 2: Warmind: "Ra-Ra-Rasputin! Destiny 2: Forsaken: Marked for vengeance X3 Destiny 2: BA: "Catch a guuuuuuuuuun!" Destiny 2: SotD: "Acid trips and Motes" Destiny 2: SoO: "Daddy Calus' Extermination team" Destiny 2: Shadowkeep: "Moons haunt-WE'VE ALREADY HEARD THIS TWENTY TIMES TODAY!" [link] [comments] |
| The hard light screen shake is so bad Posted: 01 Dec 2019 09:46 AM PST I was playing with the gun earlier today and as someone who only has one eye (get it) used this weapon and I didn't realize how bad the shake actually is. I shot some hive and the more I shot the more it shook. The shaking started getting really really bad. Every single enemy, more shake. It shook so bad that my desk started rattling. The screws were coming unhinged. I continued on, the shaking continued exponentially. My screen started warping. I continued to think not much of this. More, and more, and more, and more. Rattle, rattle, rattle, my eyes started wobbling and I couldn't stop blinking. The walls of my studio apartment started caving in. Eventually not just the world around me, I started shaking. My body started to feel very off. No worries I said, and continued on. My skin started tearing apart from my body slowly. I could feel the cracks starts to emerge. I was shaking uncontrollably. Just as the the entire foundation of my home started to crumble I took a break and wrote this post. I think bungie needs to look into this. [link] [comments] |
| Instead of RNG Bright Engrams can we bring back the Prismatic Matrix? Posted: 01 Dec 2019 10:46 AM PST I think Bright Engrams are the unresolved left overs of the old system. You earned them on each level up and it was rewarding because it pushed you to stay on a little longer and get that last bit of exp. Sure if you ended up getting things that you already had, you could always dismantle them and collect the bright dust to use towards stuff you did want. NOW You get a drop every 5 or so levels. If it's the same stuff you already have then it's not rewarding because they don't reward bright dust, and the amount of time it takes to get them also can just make the overall experience frustrating. So instead of leaving everything to the odds, then why not bring back the prismatic matrix? Every 5 levels you drop your engram (or token) into the slot machine and you get one of the things at random GUARANTEED except you know what your options are and it's all on a knockout system. The stock can change every 2-3 weeks so you can hold onto the tokens and buy out a Matrix if it's got a lot of stuff you want. Some RNG but it's a curated selection. Edit 1 - Only the engrams you earn, not the ones you can buy. [link] [comments] |
| Say what you want about Drifter, but... Posted: 01 Dec 2019 12:34 PM PST You spend an eternity getting that perfect gear and when you finally look like a billion glimmer at the tower for the first time, Drifter says: "Hey kid. Lookin' good!", while everyone else acts like you're the same generic guardian from yesterday. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2019 08:48 AM PST I get you need money, but just think about the game when fans are satisfied. [link] [comments] |
| Times like these are exactly when Bungie should be giving us some of the datamined Exotic Catalysts. Posted: 01 Dec 2019 02:19 PM PST Towards the end of a season, when most people are done with everything they wanted to get done, that would be the perfect time for a few Catalysts. It would give dedicated players something to chase as the season winds down. And it would require very little effort since these Catalysts are in the files already. Thoughts? [link] [comments] |
| PRO TIP: claim season pass rewards on characters that you don't play before season ends! Posted: 01 Dec 2019 12:49 PM PST Even though I've been enjoying D2 thoroughly, I don't have the time to play that often. This results in me playing just 1 character 99% of the time. However, if you have 2 other characters and the season pass... You can just log on to them and claim the ornaments and seasonal armor rewards from the season pass, without lifting a finger!! You'll get all ornaments and about 5 armor pieces for each slot, which comes in handy if you later decide to try a new class. I've just done this for my hunter which I NEVER play... Putting on 3 max level weapons, made the final armor pieces drop at around 945-949. [link] [comments] |
| Please, focus QoL instead of low quality content Posted: 01 Dec 2019 02:30 AM PST Bungie has stated on multiple occasions that they would rather focus on new content before making QoL changes to old content, and gotta say, this season has shown perfectly why that isnt working. Now, more than ever, we need basic user experience to be considered way before more activities as underwhelming as Vex Offensive. Now, im not just talking sparrows on Mercury here, though that should be near the top of the list. Basic UI stuff has been ignored for entirely too long. Just this season, we had an entirely new armor system launch, without a way to see what mods we had unlocked. Admittedly, that one got fixed, which is great! The rest of collections, not so much. How many people have asked for things like the ability to pull armor from collections now? Old or unavailable weapons making their way back into the loot pool so we can fill out collections? Moving away from picking on collections, and avoiding topics that already have their own threads like low armor stats from 90% of sources and exotic armor being nearly impossible to grind for, lets look at something even more basic; playing the game. Like, logging in and playing it. Since Shadowkeep dropped, connection issues have got worse and worse. Were seeing loadtimes through the roof and error codes are getting tossed around like candy. On multiple occasions ive been error coded from the character selection screen! Getting weaseled out of a comp match is a routine occurrence for a lot of people at this point. Framerate drops in menu screens are a meme at this point, the true boss of GoS is stop-motion animation because of how bad the frame drops are. Crucible has got hit registration bugs abound, with people reporting shots not hitting, despite showing a hit, melees not registering, dying to a dead opponent, immortal guardians (true, not resurrected like normal), lag. Text chat goes down on a daily, almost hourly basis. Now, i can hear some of you screaming "oh, thats steams fault though!", to which i respond that when the game depends on communication for a lot of things, it needs a more robust system backing it. Text chat being opt-in and not opt-out, clan lists not showing players properly, the lack of any sort of LFG system in-game Theres a lot of things that need some serious work. A lot of you are going to tell me to just go find another game cause i clearly dont like this one, and you know what, youre flat out wrong. I love this game, ive got nearly 2000 hours, ive met some of my best friends playing this game. I just want to see it live up to its potential. When everything its working theres no other FPS game that comes close, but everything working is a rare thing lately. Bottom line, more priority needs to be spent on getting the game working, and less on the next big spectacle thats all bark and no bite. Pull some people off of eververse and subject them to Forge matchmaking for a few hours, that should give them all the motivation they need [link] [comments] |
| Turn the Solstice of Heroes Armour into Ornaments Posted: 01 Dec 2019 10:03 PM PST I absolutely loved the Solstice of Heroes armor and found it well worth the grind at the time, but now with my armor reaching near max power and stats taking priority I find it sad that wearing it puts me at a disadvantage (even though it's only slight, it's still a disadvantage). I haven't seen a single person wearing it in the past month, and it's such a shame to have such an ornamental armor piece not be used (especially since people spent a bunch of bright dust or silver to unlock the glowing effects). I'd love to see this armor set turned into an ornament instead of being it's own armor set. Note: I'd also love to see the event masks get this treatment (I'm sad I can't be a chicken anymore without tanking my power even though I spent silver on it). [link] [comments] |
| Anyone here play Cities Skylines? I made a few Destiny assets to put in your city! Posted: 01 Dec 2019 04:53 PM PST imgr link of more photos if you'd like to check it out. Not too long ago someone uploaded a Star Wars Xwing to the Cities Skylines workshop. I was pretty surprised that, after all these years, this was the first one. That made me realize… out of the TENS of thousands of custom created mods/assets for Cities Skylines… there is nothing Destiny related! So I decided I'd make some. I planned on doing more, but couldn't help but share what I have so far. (I'll upload more in the coming weeks as I create them.) Note: no mods are needed for these to work. Simply subscribe to the asset and these "planes" will start showing up at your airport. Parks: Cayde 6 memorial park/statue Ships: Agonarch Karve Plans for more: I want to make blimps from Ceres Galliot, Fallen Skiff, and a Cabal Harvester. I might also bring in some sparrows that will work for cars lol I'll also be making plenty more parks. A golden Gjallarhorn statue is a must. (will be MUCH smaller than the cayde-6 statue) Someone suggested making a large building that looks like the Colony ships from the Cosmodrone so I might try to tackle that as well. These were harder to make than I thought they would be but I have a better understanding of the process so hopefully I can make more stuff. Some of the models are pretty easy to find. The textures… not so much. The Aspect of Glass and Birth of History were particularly painful because I had to just create textures from a still taken from the in-game menu. (Their textures def need some updating but for now they look… okay Let me know if you have any ideas (especially for buildings) Anyway, just thought I'd share. Hope you like! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 01 Dec 2019 09:09 AM PST I have been playing destiny 2 since the beta was released on ps4. For the past while, I have been saving up to buy a gaming pc so I could play with some of my friends from school, and I just recently made that purchase. As I was talking with one of my friends, I convinced her to try destiny because it was free and she now had someone to play it with. She downloaded the game, ran through the tutorial and asked me what we should start with. I decided that we should do the legacy campaigns so that she could get a grasp of the main story line throughout the seasons. As she was doing the first mission of Red War, the one where the tower falls, she made an off hand comment to me, saying that she really doesn't like any of the characters so far, except for Cayde. That comment honestly made me pretty sad, and I just didn't have the heart to tell her. We'll see what happens when we make it to forsaken. TL;DR my friend downloaded destiny 2 for the first time and decided she didnt like anyone except Cayde. I couldn't tell her. [link] [comments] |
| Eris Morn made it to the Steam Autumn Sale Banner! Posted: 01 Dec 2019 02:41 PM PST Glad to see she finally got some vacation time away from the moon. [link] [comments] |
| Being a collector is no longer viable Posted: 01 Dec 2019 08:27 AM PST It feels really bad being a collector in this game now that the new eververse happened. Prior to this season, I owned every ghost shell, ornament, and sparrow. Everything. Because I put the time in to get them, and I was able to get bright engrams to unlock them. Very few ornaments were bought, but I did buy them. This season I just have to get over it. There is going to be blank spots in my collections page. Unless I have another 400$ to drop on all of the cosmetics. It's kinda bullshit, but okay. Maybe we'll get dedicated servers... [link] [comments] |
| Does Bungie avoid Halo like a bad relationship? Posted: 01 Dec 2019 06:46 AM PST No complaint. Just a question I have been curious about for a long time. Why does Bungie seem to avoid what they know a lot of people liked from their old franchise? No vehicles in any crucible game-types (and no two-person vehicles for that matter). No large group pvp game-type. Unique weapons they made that people enjoy like the mauler and needler (they made the Shriekers shoot like needlers now that i think about it). They added finishers but kept them out of crucible. No survival-wave-based pve gametype, no actual playable space battles in any campaign missions. I mean, they have a trove of content that they produced during Halo that they have intentionally kept out of Destiny. My guess was it's about its own self-identity as an original game but they have accomplished that without question. Either that or whatever agreement they had with Microsoft in selling the rights of Halo meant certain content could not be replicated. But some stuff has come back such as the finishers (or assassinations in Halo). It's been over 5 years! Just curious if there's something I don't know about the rocky break-up(not that there was one to my knowledge). I imagine there is some better reason. But c'mon, you know the needler would be everyone's favorite weapon for a week. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 Dec 2019 03:18 PM PST I was noticing this while trying to mix and match some armor over the weekend and came across some heavy titan chest pieces from year 2 that had 60 total base stats. However, the biggest thing was that the stat spread actually made sense. Y2 Heavy Titan chest pieces have 20 Res/ 10 Rec / 5 Disc / 10 Int / 5 Str and 10 points you can allocate between Res or Recovery. HOLY CRAP! Intervals of 5!!! Now that year 2 armor has its stats back, it seemed like the random stat distribution was a completely missed opportunity to at least keep some of the spreads from year 2 armor. I have noticed when making builds, actually getting the stats where I want them to be can be greatly helped with a piece of Y2 armor. It feels like the current armor grind could have been streamlined if you kept the old Mobile/Restorative/Heavy system and then had something that determined overal stat points such as Green Tier (50 points), Blue Tier (55 points), rare tier (60 points), and exotic tier (65 points). I don't know, this was just something I noticed while sorting through my vault, but it seems like every new system that gets developed ignores the good aspects of the previous systems.
