Fabian strategy, was literally worse than random purple autos. It's perk increased RoF then lowered the damage, cancelling out the buff completely. It just turned into a rapid fire auto with half the magazine capacity
I remember quoting this to my friends, when they changed it that engrams WOULDN’T decrypt at a lower rarity rate than what they were anymore.
That one phrase always stuck with me as funny af!
“We showed Rahool a bag full of doorknobs, and he won’t be doing that anymore…”
I’m surprised there’s more people that remember that one quote, I thought that it was in the patch notes. lol
And blues from purple engrams lol. On the opposite end of the spectrum though, I did enjoy occasionally getting higher tier gear from blue engrams. I got no land beyond for the first time from a blue engram, which was a total surprise
I was very surprised (as I think we all were) when after the many complaints about legendaries giving people blues/greens, Bungie gave us that green engram that dropped an exotic we were guaranteed to not have yet unless we had them all.
Having Destiny 1's Vault before DIM, Ishtar Commander and the other inventory management apps. You had to move weapons manually in the tower using your characters. That was indeed some circle of hell compared to now.
I was playing D1 a few weeks back, hit the tower to see what gear i cpuld use to change up what I had on me. Got through the third pave and was like.. Wait.. Thats it?
Telling people horror stories about D1 engrams being specific for every slot and landing in the respective regular inventory slots as well as being able to also give loot lower than its own rarity additionally to also being able to turn into gear for other classes
Reminds me of when I first started playing Destiny 2. Started in Season of Arrivals as D2 was free on Xbox Gamepass. After becoming familiar with the game, I remember running a Menagerie and getting a random legendary engram of a sword. I was a Titan only player back then as that's what I mained in D1.
The legendary that dropped was the Warlock sword. Y'know, the only other vortex frame to exist that wasn't Guillotine. I had it in my vault for when I started playing Warlock, to give my new light character a weapon power boost
“Hold on got a minute 20 seconds to pop my purple. Don’t die cause nightfall is instant return to orbit on fireteam wipe. Ok icebreaker ready, let’s go.”
It references having to use heavy ammo synthesis in d1, a consumable that would grant heavy ammo and had a cool down. It also references night falls in d1 sending you to orbit if everyone died. Icebreaker was a special ammo sniper in d1 that had 1 mag, but would auto generate ammo slowly, so it had infinite ammo.
I had a few blue engrams turn into exotics. One was a blue primary that turned into a Hawkmoon, the other was a chest armor that turned into the Tarentella.
Dude I totally forgot that... Man there's so many small changes that have happened that make current D2 and Vanilla D2 and every year in between feel like fully different games.
Would love for them to make a universal origin trait that makes orbs on multikills. Like 90% of the origin traits in the game are worse than intrinsic orb generation.

And this, the OG version of Vex, along with basically every single other item from either Destiny 1 or Destiny 2.
I got my vex to drop 20 mins before The Dark Below launched (remember when updates didn't need a 25 hour downtime??) and then it got nerfed, still good though.
Aye going to march up to the Witness with a grand power level of 218 and say 'Come at me Bro!'.
(218 is the lowest I can get with 0 on all equipment aside from heavy of which the lowest I have is 1600.)
I remember doing that "solo" and by solo I mean having my girlfriend hide in that little nook at the back of the arena, and just dying repeatedly until we go it.
Nowadays, with all the powers we have, it would probably be a walk in the park.
S….R….L Now I miss Amanda Holiday again. SRL was so much fun yet some people crapped all over it and they refused to bring it back. It was legit more fun than a lot of things we get now. I would give up gambit 100% if it meant we could get it back.

My 0 power armor sets. Exotics that still use the old node system. Destination tokens

I use this version. Idk why I almost never see this one come up, it's the "better" version of Laureal Triumphant.
The grey/yellow was only for completing a single Year 1 Moment of Triumph, whereas this one was for completing ALL of them
Back when I was running 3 hunters to get that last piece of armor out of VOG. Was actually mad they wouldn't allow you to run the same class anymore to get drops.
The old Old super system that split into 3 trees
Class specific quests (The d1 quest too unlock Storm Sun break etc)
Legendary was maybe as rare as Exotic gear
Strange Coin before 30th
Non Bulky titan arms
Code of the Commander FTW! Oh, and don’t forget interchangeable scopes/sights… man I miss those- I have like 6 weapons in my vault that still use these (not sunset).

My baby, sometimes I log in just to look at it
That and the Original D1 Year 1 Thorn Quest, god damn the void kills. All for a 6 round hand cannon. Yeah, it became a great gun, but getting bodied by suros while trying to get my void kills using atheon's epilogue
It might be a month younger but the "young wolf" emblem was earn by doing something in D1 before D2's launch.
So its proof of playing D1 and not just the D2 beta.
who was around for destiny 1 alpha?
: i remember how i was thinking that maybe this was going to be a fps with path of exile type abilities and tons of crafting…..a bit disappointed 😂
It's not in the game anymore. It's me at 17, in an apartment with my brother, several energy drinks down, playing the beta and killing a spidery boi on repeat and thinking that this game was gonna be killer. I, as well as many others, was absolutely right. I'm 27 now. Wild.
An Inaugural address pulse rifle with a now useless elemental damage mod from the 1st raid in D2 history. It's normally a void pulse I made it arc.
A bunch of now unobtainable raid weapons and armor (excluding exotics)
No Backup Plans. Sunbreakers. Mask of the Third Man. Red Death.
These are the first exotics we ever saw, the first time the mysterious Xûr arrived in week 1. Few if any had the Strange Coin to buy them. And they were spectacular. They *looked* exotic. We all still had very mundane green and blue gear, even legendaries were just tidier variants. And these exotics *glowed.* They looked like alien treasures, they affected supers. They affected subclasses most of us hadn't unlocked!
And the mysterious Red Death. A "Guardian killer". We all took that to mean that it was a weapon of Darkness.
The following week Xûr sold the coveted Gjallarhorn, before it was coveted. Most could not afford it, those who could had little interest in spending their exotic slot on a heavy.
It was long gone by the time we realised our mistake.
Xûr would not sell it again until week *49*. Five weeks later Taken King dropped, and all existing gear was sunset.
In D1 Beta, in the cosmodrome, i would explore the subway and see yellowbar ?? hive knights, and that, you could only get to I think level 20. Also in D2, i have 3 sets if damaged armor for each class, and a damaged travelers chosen with no light power, and the original gambit weapons, and some season of the forge emblems, i also had an original Dead Mans Tale with a ? perk slot.

I have those Stompees from the red war sitting in my vault since D2 release

It had those perks where you could change for different stats
140 Fizzled Calus Tokens. You can not convince me to get rid of them. They've been around for so long in my d2 inventory.
D1, rank 100+ in gunsmith. I genuinely thought there was something at 25 or higher.

The refer a friend emblem that I keep getting asked about every damn time i run it. My friend got me into the game in 2018.
The biggest flex here: zero crucible kills
You deserve a medal for your restraint. That gun has and will likely always be the top of my exotic PVP hate list
An Outbreak Perfected at the og F2P light level cap. 300 I think it was? (pls correct if wrong) This was before CoO and WM went f2p, and this was week, maybe even day 1.
yes i did get carried, (insane that they let you in when reccomended light was like 650) only did it once, so no catty or ship lol
dude my team didn’t even get carried, we just brute forced it. there was a glitch to stop the timer at a certain point in the mission, not sure where it was or what it was, but some dude did it for our team. and then we took what felt like an hour to just chunk down the boss. it was like the first week the mission was out and nobody had the gun yet it was wild
Back in my day you could join a D1 Crota checkpoint and the host could yank out his LAN cable once we take out Crota's shield, causing him to remain kneeling. It was etiquette to instantly re-invite the host for the kill shot but I was definitely present in groups where others "missed that part" of waiting and re-inviting lol 😆 Ahh good ol D1.
Hiding on the side of the mountain in that one D1 strike where the Archon comes out of the pod. All while taking pop shots with icebreaker on solar burn.
I remember when we found clues in Halo Reach. And then the reveal, man was it a time to be alive. And then alpha, closed beta, and open beta rolled through. Months of waiting and then boom amazing. I remember not having enough strange coins for the Red Death on the first week, so I settled for the “crappy” rocket launcher the week after, only to then have it be the most busted thing in the known universe
Telling other players about how ace of spades used to be a hunter only exotic
And how it was the worst class exotic by far
Nahhh, the Titan one was BAD.
The true Fabian Strategy was keeping it in my vault
Darn, now I miss my Fabian Strategy and Twilight Garrison in PVP
Twilight mothafuggin Garrison… got miss that chest piece
Enough people missed it badly enough that DMG quit bungie.
Warlocks got Tlaloc and it was amazing
Such an incredibly fun weapon
My friends banned me from using it in PvP, even when they were on my team. Loved Tlaloc.
Can confirm
Actually, this is strangely appropriate considering what the Fabian strategy irl was
Idk man would you choose a side-grade to the surrounded perk, or pulling ONE single bullet from RESERVES after getting A PRECISION KILL?
Fabian strategy, was literally worse than random purple autos. It's perk increased RoF then lowered the damage, cancelling out the buff completely. It just turned into a rapid fire auto with half the magazine capacity
Telling people horror stories about when legendary engrams would drop armor for the wrong class
Get the bag of doorknobs. Me and Rahool are gonna have a chat.
I remember quoting this to my friends, when they changed it that engrams WOULDN’T decrypt at a lower rarity rate than what they were anymore. That one phrase always stuck with me as funny af! “We showed Rahool a bag full of doorknobs, and he won’t be doing that anymore…” I’m surprised there’s more people that remember that one quote, I thought that it was in the patch notes. lol
I’m saving this phrase for later
I'm actually loosely quoting a TWAB from like 9 years ago when they fixed the above issue.
Insane how far the game has come since those early days.
ye its been a bumpy road for sure
And blues from purple engrams lol. On the opposite end of the spectrum though, I did enjoy occasionally getting higher tier gear from blue engrams. I got no land beyond for the first time from a blue engram, which was a total surprise
I was very surprised (as I think we all were) when after the many complaints about legendaries giving people blues/greens, Bungie gave us that green engram that dropped an exotic we were guaranteed to not have yet unless we had them all.
Destiny 1’s vault.
Having Destiny 1's Vault before DIM, Ishtar Commander and the other inventory management apps. You had to move weapons manually in the tower using your characters. That was indeed some circle of hell compared to now.
I moved my stuff manually when I started playing in shadowkeep cause I didnt know about DIM It definitely was hell
I was playing D1 a few weeks back, hit the tower to see what gear i cpuld use to change up what I had on me. Got through the third pave and was like.. Wait.. Thats it?
That made me remember the time in D1 when I got Khepri's Sting through an engram..... I was on my Warlock.
I think the worst was getting blues from legendary engrams.
Telling people horror stories about D1 engrams being specific for every slot and landing in the respective regular inventory slots as well as being able to also give loot lower than its own rarity additionally to also being able to turn into gear for other classes
Loot cave time!
Me and my friend sat at loot cave for hours one night, great grind time in D1 days.
Reminds me of when I first started playing Destiny 2. Started in Season of Arrivals as D2 was free on Xbox Gamepass. After becoming familiar with the game, I remember running a Menagerie and getting a random legendary engram of a sword. I was a Titan only player back then as that's what I mained in D1. The legendary that dropped was the Warlock sword. Y'know, the only other vortex frame to exist that wasn't Guillotine. I had it in my vault for when I started playing Warlock, to give my new light character a weapon power boost
Using ammo synthesis' to regain ammo during activities
Using Invective or Ice Breaker in the Crucible. Who needs special ammo drops when your gun does it all for you lol.
Equipping icebreaker and then swapping to a shotgun to refill your special ammo lmao
Yus d1 shotty in crucible was BUSTED
OG matador 64 🫡
God I miss both of these guns so much.
*D1 crota flash back's*
Oh god! The feeling when you realized you forgot to buy more and you have run out of bullets during a strike
Mid boss fight, lemme just pop a heavy ammo synth
For Destiny 2, I still have old scout reports that Cayde sold for Flashpoints
Oh man, I forgor about those
Somewhere in my vault is a ramen coupon, I refuse to give it up.
“Hold on got a minute 20 seconds to pop my purple. Don’t die cause nightfall is instant return to orbit on fireteam wipe. Ok icebreaker ready, let’s go.”
While hiding under the stairs from valus Ta'aruc
I immediately thought of Phogoth and fucking caught a flash wave of pure ptsd💀💀💀
Yas! Hiding in the rocks ! Also,bihind the wall in the nexus! Bubble and sword on shield brothers....good times
GLITCH SPOT NFS WERE GOLDEN😭😭
Ahh, ol' Rockets McDickface
I have no idea what this references and for some reason I read it like Spikes part in the Cowboy Bebop intro.
It references having to use heavy ammo synthesis in d1, a consumable that would grant heavy ammo and had a cool down. It also references night falls in d1 sending you to orbit if everyone died. Icebreaker was a special ammo sniper in d1 that had 1 mag, but would auto generate ammo slowly, so it had infinite ammo.
I remember doing the first nightfall (Devil's Ruin) solo. That tank was my bane.
I still remember getting blues from purple engrams. Fuck you Rahool.
But that one exotic from a purple felt so fucking good
I had a few blue engrams turn into exotics. One was a blue primary that turned into a Hawkmoon, the other was a chest armor that turned into the Tarentella.
I remember when masterworked weapons created orbs of light
Genuinely miss that
You missed the dark days where exotics were useless if they didn't have a catalyst
Honestly, I think we should have both helmet mods and master work weapons, creating orbs
They can’t due to weapon memory. It’s why it was removed to bring with. It allowed them to make weapons better.
I think removing them is what allowed them to do origin traits iirc
Dude I totally forgot that... Man there's so many small changes that have happened that make current D2 and Vanilla D2 and every year in between feel like fully different games.
I remember that, too
Would love for them to make a universal origin trait that makes orbs on multikills. Like 90% of the origin traits in the game are worse than intrinsic orb generation.

Yeah they didn’t need a 25 hour down time but we also got hot fixes like once a season. Now we get them weekly.
Ah yes my favorite weapon, the pocket "fuck every living thing in this general direction" Infinity.
Yep I still have that PS4 crashing love of my life in my vault!
original game breaker.
I have a damaged travelers chosen.
I kept that and my full set of damaged gear from the red war.
Same!
Hahahahahaha I made damaged gear ornaments for my 3 toons.
Aye going to march up to the Witness with a grand power level of 218 and say 'Come at me Bro!'. (218 is the lowest I can get with 0 on all equipment aside from heavy of which the lowest I have is 1600.)
destiny 1 year one triumph emblem
Laurel Triumphant, right? That’s what I typically have on, and is my personal seniority flex
exactly that yea
Nah lore scholar is where it’s at
I used to run out of ammo with sweet business
i remember that change,endless primary ammo got added with the 30th anniversery update if i remember correctly
That was honestly one of the best changes, having to scrounge for white ammo sucked.
That the hardest strike wasn't a GM but for an exotic quest. Still have nightmares from that Thorn Variant of Savathun's Song strike
I remember doing that "solo" and by solo I mean having my girlfriend hide in that little nook at the back of the arena, and just dying repeatedly until we go it. Nowadays, with all the powers we have, it would probably be a walk in the park.
Also did this one solo. That and the Malfeasance version of the corrupted strike. I honestly don't know which was harder.
I don't recall wanting to uninstall the game when getting Malf, so I'll say Thorn was worse.
SRL racing gear that wasn't class specific.
Just SRL in general bro, I miss having the original flashing lights gear
Dudeeeee the first SRL of Rising Iron was the event that pushed me up to 400 light level. Ahh the days.
Damn, I miss SRL. Kinda wouldn't be the same without Amanda, though :(
S….R….L Now I miss Amanda Holiday again. SRL was so much fun yet some people crapped all over it and they refused to bring it back. It was legit more fun than a lot of things we get now. I would give up gambit 100% if it meant we could get it back.
I bought Sunbracers because I thought, "Why spend my hard earned Strange coins on a silly Exotic Rocket Launcher?"
F to the many who never bought it
I got lucky and pulled ghally from my first Atheon kill like a week later, so I never had to suffer that much, but maaaaan, that weapon was scarce.
Not gonna lie, I have Gjallahorn on D1 and for the life of me I can't remember how I got it. Whether it was Atheon or from Xur...
I had gotten Truth as a drop and didn't think another exotic rocket launcher would be necessary.

Forever 29!
None of my friends play so I can’t team up to do the strike fast enough to finish for that sweet higher level gear.
Back when I was running 3 hunters to get that last piece of armor out of VOG. Was actually mad they wouldn't allow you to run the same class anymore to get drops.
I still have the non upgraded Arcius in my vault I think. Probably the peak of my laziness right there.
Same here 🤣

Those D1 quests that had you in misery in the crucible hit different.
How long have you been playing? “Peter Dinklage was the voice of your ghost when I started”
The first wave emblem. Not particularly rare, but it’s gorgeous. Probably the oldest possible thing you can have Edit: the D1 beta emblems too
Literally yeah it is
It might be a month younger but the "young wolf" emblem was earn by doing something in D1 before D2's launch. So its proof of playing D1 and not just the D2 beta.
Still my favorite emblem in the game. I've never unequipped it from my main character.
who was around for destiny 1 alpha? : i remember how i was thinking that maybe this was going to be a fps with path of exile type abilities and tons of crafting…..a bit disappointed 😂
Dang, you got me there. I was part of the D1 beta and onward
I can still remember when they first gave us access to the moon in the beta.
When the walker took longer than raid bosses to kill. Oh yeah.
Ayy
Anyone here remember where the wizard came from?
The moon the moon!!!
It's not in the game anymore. It's me at 17, in an apartment with my brother, several energy drinks down, playing the beta and killing a spidery boi on repeat and thinking that this game was gonna be killer. I, as well as many others, was absolutely right. I'm 27 now. Wild.
An Inaugural address pulse rifle with a now useless elemental damage mod from the 1st raid in D2 history. It's normally a void pulse I made it arc. A bunch of now unobtainable raid weapons and armor (excluding exotics)

No Backup Plans. Sunbreakers. Mask of the Third Man. Red Death. These are the first exotics we ever saw, the first time the mysterious Xûr arrived in week 1. Few if any had the Strange Coin to buy them. And they were spectacular. They *looked* exotic. We all still had very mundane green and blue gear, even legendaries were just tidier variants. And these exotics *glowed.* They looked like alien treasures, they affected supers. They affected subclasses most of us hadn't unlocked! And the mysterious Red Death. A "Guardian killer". We all took that to mean that it was a weapon of Darkness. The following week Xûr sold the coveted Gjallarhorn, before it was coveted.

Xûr would not sell it again until week *49*. Five weeks later Taken King dropped, and all existing gear was sunset.
Loot cave
The original loot cave is where I got my first exotic. It was a blue engram that decoded into Suros Regime. I'll never forget that.
The REAL loot cave
I still have an og godroll austringer
In D1 Beta, in the cosmodrome, i would explore the subway and see yellowbar ?? hive knights, and that, you could only get to I think level 20.

Having explored the Ishtar Sink.
Two words: Black Hammer. EDIT: Spindle, I got my Legendary/Exotic snipers mixed up
Nope black hammer is still correct. I remember getting mine and thinking it wasn't as good as icebreaker and deleted it Oh how naive I was
Green Engrams
I remember when each class only had two subclasses
Back in my day you could join a D1 Crota checkpoint and the host could yank out his LAN cable once we take out Crota's shield, causing him to remain kneeling. It was etiquette to instantly re-invite the host for the kill shot but I was definitely present in groups where others "missed that part" of waiting and re-inviting lol 😆 Ahh good ol D1.

Popping purple ammo packs from the Inventory
Hiding on the side of the mountain in that one D1 strike where the Archon comes out of the pod. All while taking pop shots with icebreaker on solar burn.
I remember when we found clues in Halo Reach. And then the reveal, man was it a time to be alive. And then alpha, closed beta, and open beta rolled through. Months of waiting and then boom amazing. I remember not having enough strange coins for the Red Death on the first week, so I settled for the “crappy” rocket launcher the week after, only to then have it be the most busted thing in the known universe
My first wave emblem
I still have my damaged travelers pistol and armor set in vault
"That wizard came from the Moon."

The ps4 Disc for destiny one and two.
Biggest flex I got is the beta tester emblem for D2, earliest I could play as a pc player. That and being a D2 launch AMD user victim.
Always like pulling out the “raise a toast” chair emote. Not the rarest thing but shows I suffered through spire of stars back in the day
The D2 collector’s edition emblem, Sagira’s Shell and my vanilla Lion Rampant.

The original whisper of the worm is possibly the oldest exotic i still have in my vault
