Arrivals was the perfect time for new players to hop in, there were so many different activities and campaigns to play. It’s still such a shame so much content got removed for Beyond Light.

[@MichaelHazell]

I actually started playing on August 06, 2020, during Arrivals. Solstice of Heroes was the first thing I really did. I wear the Solstice 2020 white glow 24/7 on my Titan, which you can probably tell from my profile picture. My first exotic was Hard Light, which is still one of my favorites despite being a shell of its former self. Witherhoard was a banger and is my second favorite. I loved Contact as a seasonal activity, and my favorite destination was Io. I miss all of it so much.

[@Technizor]

The best Moments of Triumph, IMO. So much stuff to do knowing it was getting yeeted soon, looming Pyramid ships on the soon-to-be-vaulted destinations, and experiencing a condensed version of all of the Y1-Y2 content + Arrivals' pretty great narrative, Dungeon, and Public Event + Patrol zone evolution.

HIGHLY agreed, the introduction of the engrams that dropped in all activities for seasonal loot made hunting the new weapons that were all first of all really cool looking and second of all really solid gameplay wise.

Cross has memory-holed so much of the past; especially with Joker's Wild. It was not disliked because of Gambit Prime. It was hated because to even be able to enjoy Gambit Prime at its fullest, you needed the armor which came from Reckoning which was heavily disliked. The armor took weeks to grind for since you had to farm Gambit to get resources to make your motes for Reckoning, then you had to pray to the RNG gods to get the armor piece you needed with ok stats/perks. Then you had to complete the weekly quest for the helmet to be able to move onto the next tier of armor. Then after all that again, you were finally allowed to go for the tier 3 version of the armor that allowed you to run an exotic and pop a coin to be allowed to use the full armor set effect. Then and only then after enough people who were dedicated to getting the armor started stacking in Gambit Prime, did you find the other problem that the balance was horrible when it was a stacked team vs an unstacked team for armors. Big blockers from Runners (which everyone wanted to run since it was how you got random drops from the mote deposits for Dire Promise), Invader with overshields that made them into a raid boss, Sentry that always had heavy to Hammerhead you down that moment you spawned in, and a good Reaper left everything dead in about 5 seconds flat just by running Riskrunner. Reckoning itself became a bigger problem as finding a team through matchmaking was an absolute cancer. You'd get people who would AFK and just wanted others to do whole thing for them so they could AFK farm guns. You could have a great group going, but one person gets physics and then you'd have a rage quitter because someone simply died. It was also the event that lead to Bungie to start focusing on nerfing various exotics like Orpheus Rigs and making enemies that would unfairly kill you (like Ogres on Reckoning bridge) more common because they needed to address how stupidly strong we were and didn't want to lean to heavily into nerfs to avoid angering the community. Still, after Opulence, they went ahead with a lot of the nerfs they had planned anyway because we were still to strong after small tweaks here and there and even admitted in TWAB a lot of nerf plans were started back in Joker's Wild because of Reckoning. Honestly, Gambit Prime was great until they introduced Truth to the scene and then it just became cancerous and no one wanted to play cause it was always going to be who got their Truth rocket off first... I used to love Gambit. Why you break the game so bad, Bungie? Why did you have to ruin something that was so great?!

I have so much nostalgia for Season of Arrivals. I started playing in the middle of Worthy (kind of a good time bc there was literally nothing to catch up on except for Heir Apparent) and it was when I was in a rough patch in life, and there was so much to do in Arrivals and so much I had left to discover that everything was so exciting, and the hype for Beyond Light (even if it was slightly disappointing) kept me going, and gave me an escape and something to look forward to every day. Arrivals was the best time I ever had playing the game, and I wish I could relive that. Witch Queen/Risen sort of came close with the campaign and all the content, but it wasn’t quite the same. I’m hoping that Lightfall gives us a similar sense of discovery, because that would be a great way to shake things up for the end of the saga.

I honestly think Season of the Drifter is underrated. Yeah, it was Gambit centric, but it gave us the best version of Gambit to date, with roles that emphasized team play, set bonuses, good loot, new maps, Primevals and features. It was when Bungie took time to make Gambit a proper entry into the core playlist, which was great, until they gutted it in Beyond Light. The lore and narrative were amazing, too. It was great learning more about the Nine and Emissary through the Invitations, and working with Drifter through the loyalty quests and hearing his recordings about the Dark Age. He gave us a different perspective on the Vanguard, Guardians, the Light and humanity as a whole. My main complaint was with Reckoning. I didn’t like that you had to play a completely separate mode to get stuff for Prime. It was also ridiculous that there were 3 different armor sets for the exact same role, and you only got 1 piece if you completed it. Also, that bridge level was just annoying. Bungie really needs to bring Prime back. We need an endgame Gambit mode and more support for Gambit than just a single update a year.

[@TreTre-ev7pd]

As a gambit fan I absolutely loved that season. Grinded the f out of reckoning got the Reckoner title lol Drifter is king

[@ASpaceOstrich]

The lore in season of the drifter was a mixed bag. We got confirmation of the Nine being the nine traditional planets of the solar system. I'd figured it out before that point but there wasn't much in the way of hard proof. But on the downside we got the hive bullet clusterfuck that bungie for whatever reason still hasn't retconned. So we've got loads of people that think Ghosts are indestructible all because one writer didn't know how Thorn worked. I do miss Gambit Prime though. I rock my Reckoner title with pride.

[@0giraffe0]

Reckoning was a solid game mode that was actually challenging. The game sorely needs Reckoning, or a Reckoning type activity, back in the game.

[@alexgilchrist7700]

I would say we should let gambit die. But gambit is already dead. So we should let it stay dead

[@hiddenalignment6425]

@@0giraffe0 A Reckoning mode could be decent, but it shouldn’t be the only way of getting Prime armor. Maybe they could revamp the loot pool and have it give higher stat armor, multi-perk weapons, increased loot drops and a bigger chance of getting exotics depending on the Tier you complete. Add gear from previous seasons, or from Trials of the Nine in the pool that rotate every week and use the bank to focus what you want. It could be a quicker, but harder and riskier version of Menagerie.

Personally, I think of things like random rolls, special weapons, and gambit as being as shipping at the same time rather than being part of the season. I think to qualify as seasonal content, it has to be something that was originally paid. Though it still was quite good even with those things in mind, I think Forsaken is seen with rose-tinted lenses because of just how many things started at the same time rather than the expansion itself.

Forsaken was the beginning of the original downfall it brought upon insanely stupid power creep and introduced most of the most hated features in the game today yet tons of people think it was the best. it absolutely divided the community and drove away a large chunk of the original player base a lot of which still have yet to come back to this day

Season of the Splicer sort of did this, except it was limited to the Last City. Stuff that leaves its mark on the world should stay longer. Let the scars and memories linger a little.

I really liked Season of the Lost, I heavily enjoyed exploring the ascendant realm trying to find all of the secrets without looking at any guides, but the 30th Anniversary is what makes it S tier for me, I'd been begging for Halo guns since the franchise started, having the iconic Gjallarhorn come back was cool, the dungeon was really fun, and DoE is easily one of my favorite 6 man matchmade activities ever made, I grinded the absolute hell out of it before WQ came out to try and get multiple BXR god rolls, and I was only able to do that because of how much I enjoyed the activity. Getting infinite heavy was so fun, it encouraged me to mess around with heavies I hadn't touched since they came out, and the powerups were a fun little addition, these two things really helped make the activity enjoyable even on my 200th run, outside of Menagerie I've never grinded a 6 man matchmade activity so hard in the entire franchise, the BXR, Other Half/Half Truths, and Forerunner were a big factor, but the activity itself was really enjoyable.

I think season of the dawn was an S-tier season personally. It was the first time we had a season activity that we upgraded out "season vendor" at, and unlocked new things as we upgraded. The weapons themselves were some of the very best weapons destiny has ever had, and the story itself was great. Traveling through the past in search of Saint, and finally doing those special missions where we find him and save Saint from his death was amazing. Plus the corridors of time stuff was great, and the community event where we had to create and decode that image to figure out the pathways through the corridors of time to reach various places like our own tomb and stuff like that. Even the season activity where we went through to the 3 different locations wasnt so bad, and if the worst part of the season was a "not so bad" that already puts it higher than most other seasons. But with all the good parts, definitely S tier for the story, side activity (corridors) and weapons.

fun fact: season of the plunder would have been S tier if they let us drive either our own ship or the ketch or even both in one of the missions

[@paulchurchill5045]

This ^ especially with them advertising we would "attack the pirate fleet",i envisioned being on a 'friendly' pirate ship with broadside cannon runs & then attempting to grapple & swing a board an enemy ship whilst under enemy ship fire etc etc. my fault for dreaming i guess! Also the cosmetics side of things for the seasons is lacking in quantity & quality (free & bought) IMO. 🤔👍

[@0giraffe0]

The activities this season were trash, the events were worse, the storyline was on rails and culminated in the most ridiculous way considering the "fear" associated with the relics, and on top of that they used the telesto meme to sell cosmetics and merchandise. By far the worst season and then you add several years worth of fatigue from playing the same strikes, activities, and maps from D2 launch and D1....this season had zero redeeming qualities.

[@whydontmatter859]

The cut scene where our guardian finally speaks gives me chills till this day...as a hunter main I took that shit personally I stayed up all night just to get the chance to avenge my my beloved Cayde 6 it was the first time in destiny where I was TRUELY connected to the game.

[@Shpinko.]

I cannot express how beautiful the Trailer for Season of Dawn is

[@richardwhite3521]

The rock, in the vex eye. Earned my like. And sub. You’ve got a good editor man.

[@jakebissell7930]

I will say this: This was an accurate tier list.

[@GettingCrafted]

agreed right up until the end, this season has so far drawn the most attention I've ever given Destiny 2. Right now i feel is the most you can do throughout the entirety of the game. The number of raids, strikes, season events, weapon grinds, weekly rituals, vendor challenges has never been so high.

[@nadirbaitsaleem7270]

I can already tell the editor is going crazy this video 😂

[@Emil-Roma]

This video also shows just how amazing their trailers are when it comes to editing, music, action, etc. Particularly Dawn and Splicer, my god.

[@adam-bf8li]

Lore wise Season of the Splicer was huge. It was one of the seasons where I was really looking forward to the story week after week. That season made me not want to kill random Eliksni.

[@Neeko05.46]

Lmao. The turn in the video takes at 21:44. So dam funny. I usually start skipping through videos like this, but I had to watch it all for the edits. So effin good 😅

[@Super-Soldiers]

The Whisper mission is what started the turn around. If Bungie could make activities like the Whisper mission, then perhaps there was hope on Destiny.

[@Merc.9958]

Arrivals was such a great season. The day of and after the exotic quest launched was probably some of the most fun I’ve had in the crucible

[@jackburkel4119]

The space pirate theme was SOOOO GOOD and then they just had to butcher the season itself. It really is so sad to see these awesome themes be wasted because the seasonal model is garbage these days.

[@skinnybepis9579]

ill never not get goosebumps watching the season of dawn trailer. super under rated season imo

[@antgonz4436]

6:00 Caydes Death save the game, period! This is what brought back a lot of players, old and new.

[@santelpaige3718]

The nostalgia of rewatching this after final shape is crazy, what a journey 😢😎

[@coldblizzard5880]

Bro the editing…💀💀💀. BTW cross, you can save Darnell. You can shoot the enemies that kill him with a Gjallorhorn rocket from far away and save Darnell!

[@texantactical7787]

This video actually made me sad that there’s so much great content we can’t experience anymore. I hate the vault system. I just want to start at the beginning and play through everything for the first time again.

[@Moonblade64]

It really does suck, because in a game like d1 where you can sorta have everything...d2 got gutted and mashed together as if it was a Frankenstein and that utterly broke the game. Bungie can no longer make content that is meant to last things had to be let go

[@AyoBhop]

Bruh the moment I saw the CoryXKenshin clip, Aztecross became just that much cooler😂. Two of my fav content creators.

[@hokozebren]

This was a fun trip down memory lane watching all the trailers. 2 things bungie is S++++ at is music and trailers. Good stuff

[@Senor_Fast]

I feel like people over hate season of the plunder. Now it's not the best by far, but it definitely isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I think over time people will come around on it and will like it more than they do now.

[@paulchurchill5045]

In your opinion,not "it [definitely] isn't as bad as people make it out to be". Your POV is subjective only! 🤔

[@ginorvdw]

Oh MAN this tier list was SPOT. ON. Blast furnace and hammerhead are some of my all time fave's in the franchise. Hell, did we forget it's the expansion that gave bow fanatics the GOD TIER PVP BOW, Le Monarque? Regularly got wiped on higher difficulty forge runs at the start, making it an activity you WANTED to do better in, to get to the prized loot. This whole list was just *chef's kiss* to me.

[@theliminalist4429]

Splicer is what got me back into Destiny after a year of struggling to care. It holds a special place in my heart.

[@xtripsx11]

Cross I'm addicted to your content right now.

[@erikm8373]

I'd put this tier list in the low B or high C tier. It makes some good arguments, but ultimately doesn't have that much going for it.

[@zackphy]

Omg Black Armory is the best season in the history of Destiny, no question. Opulence is close but the raid was better, the secrets were better, the exotic missions were better and the fucking loot was absolutely fucking amazing. The exotics from Forge are STILL meta to this day, including the damn sparrow lol. Yes Anarchy isn't exactly meta right now(just wait till Tuesday with breach and clear and unstop launcher) but it absolutely defined the pve meta for longer than any other weapon in D2 ever has, hell longer than D1 was a game in general lol. And Izi, LaMonarque and Joten are all still used with the first 2 being staples in many loadouts. Oh and Last Word came back as well which is still a staple in pvp but on release it was the best primairy on PC. Niobe Labs is to this day my favorite event because it was able to be done afterwards, required teamwork and thought and had unique rewards not everybody got. The Izi quest is probably the best D2 exotic quest as well. The secret emblems were also really cool. Fully powering up the Forges is stuff we don't get anymore and I loved it. The Forges themselves were fun as fuck, especially day 1 and the first week in general. I also loved the loot grind more than Menagerie with the bounties and the Menagerie itself got exhausting after the 50th and especially 100th times while I never really got bored of Forges. And it was the introduction of afk forge farming lol. The ONLY thing I didn't like was having to unlock them on all characters and having to drive to them each time then go back to the tower which had TERRIBLE loading times on console back then. But once they were selectable from orbit and unlocked for ppl(I unlocked them the slow way lol) it was no longer an issue. Hell I wanna run a Forge right now lol. The legendary loot was also absolutely amazing with crazy good rolls we still haven't seen again, especially Kindled Orchid. I even liked the weekly rotation of the Forges and loot as it gave you a reason to log in each week besides do this 10 min story crap we get now. Bungie was actually taking risks back then and being creative and you could tell they cared what the community thought about the game and put actual work and pride into what they released whereas now it seems like they're just phoning it in with all the real work going to some new IP nobody cares about. Oh and fucking Mountintop, we got Mountintop that season, and Breakneck and Loaded Question. If Black Armory also had Trials as it is now(not Nine or the Half Baked version in Worthy) it would have been perfect in my eyes, well that and the D1 version of factions. We didn't get any exotic armor but I think most ppl didn't even have all the Forsaken armor and we got so many then we didn't really need anymore yet.

[@joecoffee93]

Man Cross watching these old trailers has me dying inside at how many baller strikes we lost with the DCV. Garden World and Strange Terrain were two of my favorites, I miss em!!

[@Galaxy-Creator]

season of the hunt to the season of the lost was imo the best time i have had in destiny (as context i started playing in season of dawn), the story was interesting engaging and most aspects of the game were fun even though statis at the time was still dominant in pvp

[@roost5932]

Getting my Destiny Trailer fix from this video, nice timing :)

[@swaldoski]

Funniest content maker on the Planet. Enjoy this channel. Keep up the good content bud.

[@francis1669]

Luke is actually such a W editor

[@Saint-14s-Shadow]

Eramis being frozen with the memes behind it almost made me choke on a god damn quesadilla, god dawg it editor. You nearly killed me lmao

[@nicholas7203]

There were so many memories coming from over the years while watching this lol

[@XtreemeX]

Dude one of the most memorable quests was the on for izanagis burden. I started playing d2 during black armory and I loved every minute of it. I love that sniper

[@stormmtb5068]

editing was god tier

[@N3wt199]

watching that first trailer brings back a lot of memory's

[@deggie.]

cross your editor needs a raise this video was way too fucking funny xD

[@sysiroe515]

Great content as usual Cross!!
