In Destiny, we want to take a look back and watch a video that evokes many memories.
Bungie remains tight-lipped about the upcoming content for Destiny. Tonight, we expect the weekly letter to the community, and hopefully, we will receive a piece of information that we can eagerly dive into. However, since it has been quite silent regarding Bungie’s MMO shooter recently, and the developers seemingly want to let the The Division wave die down, we take the opportunity to look back once more. So really far back.
The following video evokes numerous memories for many of us: many good ones, but surely also some that drove us to the brink of madness. With humor and a healthy dose of irony, the Year-One content of Destiny is presented to us once again. Take a look:
What we experienced in Year 1
In this video, a Year-One Guardian explains to some “noobs” what he has experienced in the first year. Right from the start, the all-defining topic of the first year of Destiny is brought up, the Gjallarhorn. The weapon is called a true beast, which was highly coveted – and that’s putting it mildly.
The Year-One Guardian further explains that we completed the same activities over and over again. We often swore we would never play Destiny again, yet we never stopped. “They always come back.”
The story also gets its share of criticism: We played it, understood almost nothing, and in the end thought: “What the f…, is this it?” We waited months for new story content, which never really came. Furthermore, we all ran around in the Crucible with the same weapons, such as Suros or Thorn. In PvE, we all had the Icebreaker or the Black Spindle. A look back at all our successes in the raids is also part of it. “Those were the days.”
Back then, you couldn’t buy resources like Ghost Fragments. You had to farm Ghost Fragments on Venus for half of Saturday to have enough to level up just one item.
He also reminds us that we had to farm treasure keys for hours and days and set new speed records with the Sparrows to open chests as often as possible before the timer ran out. “God, that was awesome!”
We experienced a lot and met other Guardians
Guardians who started in Year 2 will never experience all these memories, and many more. Even though many experiences were truly bad and annoying, we would not want to miss them. They shape our seasoned Guardians. They are part of us.
For many, the highlight in Destiny was and is the online experience with other Guardians. It often happened that random encounters turned into clan members and clan members became friends.
In Destiny, it is not about the story, raids, or the Crucible. It is only about the experiences you gather with your friends. And no one can take that away from you.
In Year 1, the Hawkmoon was an extremely deadly weapon. What can it do in the second year of Destiny? Find out here.
