Similar to Bungie's D2 content, you must keep OT title expectations in check.

Anthem still has the benefit of the doubt.
Destiny 2 no longer does and the gunplay/gameplay has taken a nose dive.

They are always underwhelming. You really would think that 1 out of 44 would be good, but none of them were.
Hell, most weren't even average.
I didn't like either of Bioware's last 2 games so they definitely don't get the benefit of the doubt from me... Also gonna be their first attempt at this genre....
I agree about D2 tho.

The gameplay trailer started off on the wrong foot for me. It may be "real", but I don't like people in an other-worldly type fantasy game talking like your friends would in regular chat. "Let's wait for so and so - he could use the XP". That just pulls me completely out of the world they are trying to sell. Shades of The Division and it's friends-chat style trailer.
Just a little too laid back and casual, like, this is all a cakewalk. No danger. No stakes. Yawn.
Dunno having the trailer radio be super serious would be more cringe worthy.
Remember this.

Took almost 3 years but finally earned Guardian Lord. Doing Crota flawless was a great night. I need to go back through the old threads and find the screenshot when that was done. Would still like to do WotM and KF since I've never done them. I realize that will be a challenge since we're in a dead period leading up to D2.
edit:
Found the post way back in OT 14. That was a fun night.

you and I have something in common on this night
Actually I think a lot of the OT titles were pretty good. Most of them are of the form you had to be there to get the joke though. Game of Thorns was very accurate at the time. Also Suros was very dominant at the beginning and the OT titles were good.
Congrats Ernie! When did you start running more than one character?

Good night, room.
Good night, cow jumping over the moon.
Good night, light
and the red balloon.
Good night, bears.
Good night, kittens.
Good night, mittens.
Good night, clocks.
Good night, socks.
Good night, little house.
Good night, mouse.
Good night, comb. Good night, brush.
Good night, nobody.
Good night, mush.
Good night to the old lady whispering, "Hush."
Good night, stars.
Good night, air.
Good night, noises everywhere.
Thank you John, LT, T-44, Gutz, and Kreep for this, and Dorssom, Hudson, Colonel, wins, palom, Carbine, Squall, Jay, rasengan, and Rubenov for making raiding something I embraced instead of ignored. Thank you to anyone who ever came out to a Newbie Raid for fueling one of the most satisfying addictions in human history. Thank you Drizz for being the guide and presence that we all needed. Thank you to literally everyone else I've ever played with in this community for the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours of memories.
A lot of peeps seemed shocked that I didn't already have Flawless/Guardian Lord but I don't really "go after" stuff like that in gaming. It was only at the beginning of this year I realized I was in striking distance of the trophy and because I am stubborn and weird I only wanted to cross the finish line by doing a Flawless Vault of Glass, using Hawkmoon, the Praetorian Foil and Corrective Measure. Thanks to a very accommodating group I was able to do so tonight in one try. And we only had to panic-murder three Gorgons to do it.
The truth is I'm actually a lot more "casual" than much of DGAF... indeed, this is my first-ever Platinum or equivalent trophy, for any game in any generation. But it feels right that this was my first one, and returning to the place it all truly began to get it done was the perfect farewell to a game that, for all its flaws and frustrations, for all the drama and salt it has induced, for all the steps forward and back, is undeniably one of my favorites of all time.
See you all in the new world, Guardians.

Even though this will stir the non-Destiny 'actual players' pot...I'm in on this one.
If cross save was introduced, it would be so amazing my head would literally explode.
Just want to say thanks to you Hawkian for taking me through my first raid, VoG and streaming it on Twitch. My sister, brother and mother watched that run, and watched me die repeatedly during the long hours.

17 days and 26 days, for d2 pc beta and d2 console. It'll be here before we know it.
I'll partake in a card or 2 for the final d1 trials. I expect much ddos though lol.

Obviously I'll have to try the beta on the PC before making any actual judgements, but making Control matches last longer instead of reducing (all) cooldowns sounds like the exact opposite of fixing the "problem" I had with the beta on PS4.

Hey guys,
I´m looking to build a list of German speaking DGAF-ers for D2.
I still want to play with everybody, and I´m sure you would miss my German accent, but I think it would be nice to have a fireteam in my native language for blind-raids and whatnot.
Soooooo....... feel free to PM me.

Thanks! Finished my Titan yesterday to get GL and Warlock was the week before. Levelling those was a grind... Kadey helped me get the strike trophy yesterday and I did the Salvage trophy last week after finding out you could do it solo in a private match.

Whaaa? You can?!
I tried so many times a couple years ago for the Flawless Raider trophy, but it never worked out....
Can you go back and do Crota with lvl 40 characters and get it easily now?
Thanks Hawk for a fantastic post. Was a wonderful time! So many nights, so many days, many patrols in the Ember Caves. Can't wait for the return of the sine wave. Wish Drizz was here for all of this.
Destiny 2|OT|What would Drizzay do?
In that case What are you gonna do with your monster PC that you just built for Destiny 2?

Remove LS from the left stick, LS and X on the left paddles, jump and crouch on the right paddles; regular layout in Destiny. No experience with stick response curves.

Echo'd. I was also one of the (many) D1 peons that tagged along for a newbie raid (Kings Fall).
Cheers to Hawkian and all the other DGAF OG's that made that possible for a solo player like myself!

Queue up a private match, capture the relic, switch teams, disable relic, repeat.
Forgot to say great post Hawkian. So many great moments in this game.

Fantastic. Glad we were able to get it done and finally get you to Guardian Lord status. I'm so happy that the Gorgon Maze didn't become The Disappointments Room.

Welp, as much as I hate to give it to you since you were throwing shade at the other OTs' titles, I chuckled at this one.

Salute to a fine guardian willing to wade through the darkness just to hold the hand of another on their path to glory.
The disappointment room would have been my fault. I will take that fail and own it.
3 years away from normal mode got me all turned around.
Soon it will be time to be scrubs once again, just with a little muscle memory.
Can't wait to share it with y'all!
What a lovely post and a fitting end to this 3 year journey...
P.S. Thank God I put on Raze Lighter and popped a Heavy Synth at the beginning of the maze.

"HoW Comes, No Raid?" is pretty fucking good. Lots of others are pretty good too.
I stand corrected. I guess I didn't remember the good ones!
HoW Comes, No Raid was great.
Whine and Cheese were good (especially with the Templar Cheese).
Of course 42 and 43 are special.
Yeah, I take back my assertion. Some are great. My apologies.
Edit:
I took it back with an apology! Seeing them all laid out like that made me realize the error of my thinking. Glad, at least one did!
