IB was chaos, thousands of PvE players on just for the power drops. It was a free for all. Running the lamps solo invisible on Crotas end after being useless in VoG as a Hunter main. I had to work in Qatar for 2 weeks and I remember calling my girlfriend and asking her to turn on my PS and directing her to xur just so I didn’t miss the gear.

I started as a bubble main & stayed that way. Universal Remote was my only exotic weapon & No Backup Plans for exotic armour. I had max light level before VOG dropped & my LFG group was shocked I ran Universal Remote without dying to Minotaurs. The struggle of learning the raid mechanics, panic, chaos, laughter, & tears as we slogged through it for hours. Still waiting for Universal Remote to comeback in D2. Miss the shotgun that got me through most of D1.

To me: destiny 1 when I got on Christmas was like an experience I've never felt nor since then, it gave me a feeling of wonder and mystery as I learned from one planet to another, facing different races of enemies and learning what they were capable of.

Leading into the Witch Queen launch I sent a friend of mine who doesnt play Destiny a Witch Queen trailer and we started talking. I explained to him how all I want is a campaign like The Taken King. The whole introduction sets the stage amazingly. We had heard stories of and killed the son of Oryx. We knew how powerful Mara Sov was. We saw the panic and last ditch attempt to stop the oncoming wrath of Oryx in our system where Mara Sov sacrificed herself to just stop the ship. We then are being told about distress calls going out on Mars from the Cabal, a faction who has no word for retreat and here they are terrified. We land, we start walking, we crest a hill and a dying Cabal pops out (I am sure others like me shot at it assuming it was an encounter). We hear and see the outcome of a losing battle as we enter into the base and the comic horror starts kicking in with the taken void zones and I think we see a cabal being sucked into one. All the while Eris is breaking through and the whole "fingertips on my mind" and her panic instruction for us to run as the shade of Oryx spawns. I really like the Witch Queen, but man The Taken King really did it for me. Oh god the whole final mission fighting Oryx too, that reveal where you walk into a room bathed in darkness and all of a sudden that starts receding and is turns out it was just projections of his wings.

We still play D1 raids. They are so much more fun.

NGL , this nostalgic video hit me like a truck ( emotional style) I have lost many friends to death that were part of my fireteam and some to prison which goes to shows that even people who were in a weird state in their lives can be rockin this game aswell. I am now 23 almost 10 years later with tears in my eyes writing this, truly shows how videogames can be magical and a bliss ❤

You and I have very different emotional responses to D1 lol. I loved the grinding for great gear and everything. It was a badge of honor wearing something everyone knew it took forever to get. What i hated and made me leave the game until just !yesterday! was the constant change of what mattered and what was important. When light became important, suddenly everything I grinded for wasn't optimal anymore and the level rise to lvl34 let any new player start at level 20! Yea, they bypassed the hours and hours of grind and were exactly the same level as me for just starting the game. The game play was fun but each expansion cost as much as the game itself so full price or you're screwed

I was 9 when D1 came out. I grew up in a low income house, where I never got to play video games. I bought my own Xbox with money I saved for the year before my 9th birthday. I got a used Xbox 360 and Destiny was the first game I got. I didn't understand anything but I very much enjoyed shooting aliens. Destiny was the first video game I ever got to play. So it means a lot to me. I'm 17 now and am still addicted.

But I just kept playing and now I'm sure over the 8 years I've spent like 10k on it. I was so happy with the game I would people consoles and expansions so they could experience it for themselves. But playing the game this long I use expansion releases as actual time lines for my adult life 😂😂😂. But it's awesome to see that this is as big halo was to me as destiny is to you. Seeing something grow is just crazy to see v

This takes me back. I loved the old reset time! It was 7pm for us in Australia!

One of my fondest memories was doing the kings fall raid for the first ever time with a group of randoms, never done a raid before and had not the best gear, but the patience and teamwork they had to teach us the raid I will never forget and the feeling of opening that chest was something else, from that moment I dedicated a lot of my life to playing destiny and helping others

AWESOME f*cking JOB!! LOVED this video!! The commentary was amazingly accurate, entertaining, and it allowed me to truly reminisce about D1 days. I stopped playing Destiny 2 because I was unable to grind because i became a parent of two. I recently bought a PS5 and watching this video makes me want to head straight to the Tower.

Nostalgia just hit me like a ton of bricks. Destiny 1 was such a blast. A few years ago I was a pretty dedicated player and got pretty good. Destiny 2 is fun, but it just doesn't feel the same.

Destiny 1 was history in the making. I grew up leveling up my guns through the grind of xp and then they changed it, i remember like yesterday. I was so mad i grinded everything out of all the guns at the time. The way the supers and abilities were set up were kinda similar to now more than previous d2. I miss the memories made with my only friends. d1 was a different game. I remember grinding the husk and getting the crux of crota; winning trials with Invective while standing over the warlock ready for the self res; i miss going under the warsat in that one strike and entering the new area, i know you know what im talking about. I remember the 2 tap of the thorn and the only void handcannon i had was from the crota raid, how did i do it? how did i get good enough to use that crud gun and get the best in the game. I miss the challenge, not the bullet sponge but the real challenges. I miss getting a random exotic bounty knowing that whatever gun the mystery held was able to turn the tides of battle instead of tickling the balls with electricity called a Jolt. There were a lot good and a lot bad. Patience was needed beyond everything else. I fell off the ledges so the newer generation could mantle. Now i am a forgotten relic just as the black hammer or the strangers rifle.

Cross's commitment to the game is insane, glad to be a part of this community

The self-rez warlock was literally how I got Vex Mythoclast out of VoG hard mode in D1. Whole team wiped, including me, but I had my super. Rezzed, unloaded fusion grenades into the Aetheon, and just -barely- got the kill before it ran out, only for it to give me the Mythoclast. Haven't complained about RNG in a video game since

Two things I’ll never miss about D1: 1) having to travel back out to Orbit from everywhere to then go anywhere else and 2) always having to make sure all the highest light level gear was EQUIPPED before decrypting a single engram, making sure whatever you decrypted wasn’t higher light (and therefore would have to be equipped) before decrypting a second engram, and that over and over and over.

I remember when I started playing back in Taken King and diving deep into all things destiny. When I heard that before TTK that an entire raid was solo’d by someone going by “The Legend Himself” I was blown away. Slayer is legendary IMO and one of my earliest Destiny memories was watching his runs.

I recently jumped into Destiny 1 with the plan of just playing the main campaign and then moving onto Destiny 2. I played Destiny 1 when it first came out, but not being able to buy any of the DLC, I was forced to drop the game shortly after because I couldn't play any of the new content with my friends. Almost 10 years later, I now know the level of excitement and awe they felt playing through the Taken King campaign and raids, and all the other DLC content. It's been so enjoyable I've stuck around FAR longer than I was planning on, and it has quickly become one of my favorite games ever.

Gotta love how despite the armor customization being more limited in Destiny 1, the characters looked SOOOOO much better than they do in Destiny 2

Honestly, if we take the eververse out of the equation i think D2 in its current state is an improvement, its just nostalgia making u only remember the best parts of the D1 experience. Only thing that just objectively sucks in D2 compared to D1 is the strike playlist tho. Bungie should do something about that, strikes where THE pve thing to do in D1

Currently doing a fresh run in D1, its nice to go back to a much simpler time

Really been enjoying your videos lately. Feels like the passion is back :-)

Playing Destiny 1 with the boys was some of the most fun I've ever had. I still run VOG weekly on Destiny 2 to this day for the nostalgia. On a side note, I really want strike specific loot again.

Rise of Iron was my favourite expansion in all of Destiny’s history.

In year 1, you needed the Legendary Class Item to rank up the Factions. The Exotics were added in The Taken King and gave a boost to rep earned while wearing them.

Nothing was like your first grind to get through VoG and then your first solo at Crota. I remember first being backpacked through crota because I was too low of light level. I also miss the leveling system that then went into power levels (light levels) I miss those vanilla destiny memories.

Man I remember the D1 beta, going to the tower and gunsmith and seeing those purples for the first time with like 248 damage or something. That was so crazy, so much nostalgia.

I was a D1 Beta tester. I frigging loved that game so much. I'm tearing up before work thinking of it.

I think about destiny one memories every day. What i would give to go back to the first time booting up destiny after falling asleep on my birthday waiting for it to download. I remember waking up to my brother playing the game first, i got upset because it was my game that i got for my birthday and he’s playing first. I decided to let him finish the mission and watched him until he returned to the tower. As he was playing i asked him to go through everything he’s already experienced, the hud and guns info. Seeing the light levels. I miss those years, thank you bungie.

i was 11-12 when this game came out, im 20 now and i remember some kid in my class talking about it and that same day i found myself in a gamestop and my life changed. i fell in love with the game but unfortunately i don’t give the game as much love anymore but it will forever be my favorite game

One of my favorite memories of D1 was being a Sherpa. Loved learning every aspect for all the raids and then teaching new players how to do them. It really taught me how to be a more patient human being and I'd like to think that all those blueberries went on to teach others.

I remember the very last time I played destiny 1 before my sister bought me the second game's disc for the Xbox one with the red war on it already. I popped into the game. Having my full taken armour set, with the exception of an exotic pair of boots, that allowed you to move faster when aiming. I loaded into a vanguard. I think it was one on that giant hive ship, where you'd see the cabal fighting the taken/hive. Forgot which one. But as soon as I finished my sister came home with my mom and a gift for my birthday, destiny 2. I said goodbye to taken king and rise of iron. To load into a game with the red war. This video brings back so many memories honestly.

Destiny 1 to me was hanging out with friends non stop :) The day I started Destiny 2 I brought my Destiny 1 charracter looks. The were there allready! Started 2 at Beta. I had a long break , and came back when I heard Cayde-6 comes back! He still stands next to my tv as a statue.

I remember i started a little late, right after the first expansion, and struggled to find groups that wanted me for raids . But by the time we got the taken king i literally felt like a god at the game, i was completing everything and getting all the newest gear and would help sooooo many people beat the raids for their first time. I wanted to be the guy i wanted to help me when i first started playing. The amount of thank yous i got was so worth it and i have great memories of D1 because of it

God this was such a trip! Destiny changed my life, I had never played an online live MMO, never played first person and wasnt big into shooters. The only reason I got it was having huge FOMO because my group of friends who usually played The Last of Us together all started playing it. It took 3 days of me hanging out on the TLOU servers and watching them all in the same group chats before I finally gave in. I lived in a tiny boring city so not only did Destiny became a place for me to hang out with online friends, it kinda became my life - I was gently teased by co-workers that anytime I took a few days off, it was likely going to be a Destiny drop. Surprising even myself - I got really good at the game, was one of the first Warlock sword users against Crota when the rule was Hunters only, became a raid sherpa, did trials, etc. It was such a wonderful experience because there were so many communities, people, groups and pages to meet. I was part of like 7 different destiny facebook pages altogether and being the sword-bearer for a few months made me super popular. I took some time off for the Division and then missed most of 2017 until Destiny 2. I played up through The Last Wish, never started the raid though, was still grinding and then life took over. Moved to a new city, started a new relationship, began travelling and it just sort of fell out. Interestingly enough I was still a part of several facebook chat fireteams and I'd read their updates and plans every few months. My closest friend and raid co-captain texted me a few months ago to say the end was coming - I always had in the back of my head to come back before, and couldn't believe - it's actually been 10 years. I've spent the last 2 weeks binging all the story and lore points since I can't even think about getting into this game now and it feels so bittersweet - what a fucking experience. Thank you so much for this video!
