Destiny 2 - The Dark Ages (Curse of Osiris & Warmind)

[@girthychan9552]

I just found this channel, and man this is exactly what I needed. There must be thousands just like me who took a 1-2 year break from the game and feel like they just missed everything. I can catch myself up on lore easily, I love that shit. But the actual real story going on behind the gameplay is something I plainly missed out on and can’t get back (even if all im missing was a worse version of the game) Just wanted to say thanks for these, not just are they entertaining but I feel like im actually learning stuff lmao. (Also, it’s rare to see a destiny youtuber and not feel like im being mislead for clicks and watch time :) )

[@pspgamerserjio]

After 3 months shadowkeep released I just completely stopped playing tbh

[@aztecanomexica13]

I took a 8 year break so I really need this

[@KellysHeroes777]

The worst part was how well destiny 1 finished and how they managed to destroy all that hard work

[@AxisChurchDevotee]

Wish they stuck to D1 and never went with D2.

[@KellysHeroes777]

@@AxisChurchDevotee couldn't agree more. They messed up so much in D2 that I no longer even play the game. Honestly I would love to go back to D1 launch day and play through the entire thing again.

[@TheForgottenBlackMan]

@@AxisChurchDevotee shut the hell up little boy. D1 looking back was far inferior, and we would still be stuck on a 360/ps4 built game. Now, be quiet and let the Men speak here

[@hokuwong]

@@KellysHeroes777 I think a lot of this is coated in nostalgia. I’d be inclined to agree that the game didn’t launch the way it should have but that was also 5 years ago. Go back and play D1, You’ll likely enjoy yourself for a little bit but the rigid gameplay choices and the lack in general quality of life updates will remind you that at present Destiny 2 is a considerably more polished game with a lot more content.

[@KellysHeroes777]

@@hokuwong being more polished doesn't make it a better game imo. I've been back and play D1 plenty of times and it instantly more enjoyable. Maybe it's some nostalgia but it's also the fact D1 was just more fun.

[@Hlast1]

A couple of other notable points in Warmind that I think are worth mentioning: The Worldline Zero quest and the Valkyrie ARG. The Worldline quest required that you find little colored targets all over Mars and hit them with an element matching their color (or with the Javelin). Finding all of them required you to really search everywhere on the new destination in a way that CoO and vanilla had not. The Valkyrie ARG started with a symbol in the hallway leading to Rasputin and was a pretty large scale community puzzle leading to an IRL Valkyrie and some coins with a Warmind symbol on them at a certain location. Both of these, along with the Whisper mission, were Bungie putting secrets back into the game, things to do in the game outside of the standard gameplay loop. Forsaken came with secrets in abundance, but Warmind was the start of those being brought back into the game.

[@1Albedo]

eh, i wouldn't really call myself something THAT interasting to do the quest to get, espectially when you put the Valkyrie ARG thing on the side with it, plus i came earlier in the progress of those things than the sparrow which was weird, like i needed only 35 of the nodes while the sparrow needed 45, which might of been like that on purpose so you could get me easily-ish and then on top of that go and get a cool and for the most part useless sparrow to have, or to put it in other words, the sparrow might of just been something extra for getting all of them, or i am that one thing you really want(ed) to get in the battlepass and the rest, in this case the stuff after that thing you wanted are whatever. idk, something like that, but yeaa... i at least still have some tricks and i am IMO fun to use, (incert surprised pikachu face). and you know, i'm saying that as a player not as the weapon itself talking about itself being good and fun or whatever.

[@kipkay1958]

I think one of the things that should have been mentioned too was the difficulty of Escalation protocol. It was a good activity, but the fact that it was basically impossible for a lot of people until you actively manipulated lobbies (talk to blueberries until you found one willing to invite your friends and leave) to have 9 people and still barely complete it was ridiculous. And the weapons and armor were rare af with no bad luck protection what-so-ever. Good event, but i remember personally waiting until season of undying to actually go back and get the weapons when it was more doable

[@W1nDs0R]

I quite liked the Curse of Osiris weapons. Jack Queen King 3, Machina Dei 4, Sol Pariah 6 were some of the best looking IMHO. It would be great to see them come back

[@xCobraCommanderx]

They still great weapons. I pull them out and even now they feel really good.

[@kano4282]

Agree!

[@TrueArt_1]

It's funny that I still go back to D1 to have fun. D2 is in a very good state, probably the best it's ever been. However, I personally prefer D1's art direction, strikes, exciting loot, and its cohesive weapon and armor designs over D2, despite the lack of QoL mechanics and graphical fidelity. A testament to how much love and care was put into Destiny 1 compared to Destiny 2.

[@deciding]

I actually really loved Warmind, I'm glad you showed many of the great things that it brought. My favorite part was the theme that played in Orbit, my favorite song in all of Destiny's history by far. Amazing video

[@NovemberHotel]

thank you!

[@XiaoyiRuneKon]

I started playing Destiny 2 with the Curse of Osiris expansion, so I missed all of D1 and the initial launch of D2. Seeing this series of videos you've been making really puts a lot of things I missed into perspective. It's fascinating to see the state of the game with each release. There's also a certain nostalgia factor in seeing Curse of Osiris and Warmind, even Red War. There are so many things from that time that just aren't in the game anymore. I find myself going "OH! I forgot that was a thing!" or "I miss that" a lot. Thank you for all your hard work on these videos. Each time I see you've uploaded I get really excited.

[@alxpluto]

Hot Take: I actually loved Curse of Osiris, it wasn't perfect by any means and Bungie obviously didn't improve anything but when you look at it by itself, I still think it was better then Dark Below because at least it had a complete campaign where the raid wasn't the ending and it included an interesting (though fricking tiny) new destination, I think its key problem was that it was done on the cheap by reusing strikes and such. I think people would have enjoyed the story more if it was just purpose made campaign missions

It's really interesting looking at this stuff as they were at the time. When I joined destiny in season of the Worthy I had the opportunity to play through the full story progression. I actually really liked the campaigns because I could just move on to the next one afterwards. I wish new lights today were able to have the experience I had. That would be a destiny I would be proud to tell everyone to try.

[@kdburner7356]

Lmao that’s what I remember. I use to help new players get started on D1, but now you need to explain to them that they need to spend $40 minimum😂

[@kdburner7356]

You should see the new player experience these days. It’s truly embarrassing. Thrown into a random intro mission that you have no idea about, then bombarded with random pop ups, then it’s up to you to find what’s next. Assumably, as a clueless new player, you go to the director and look for the next mission, only to realise it’s locked behind the DLC, fair enough, what else is there? Patrols and strikes and crucible? If you’ve just loaded up destiny you wouldn’t even know what those things are. I’ve read many threads of new players who have played a couple of strikes and crucible games before turning the game off, not even visiting the tower…. because they don’t know what the fuck it is😂😂

[@TylorHuebner]

@@kdburner7356 I haven't played the newest version post lightfall. I tried to get some of my friends to play a couple months ago and it's was a nightmare to try and navigate because I can't see the quest steps and they have to find it in the menus and tell me what needs to be done so I can help.

You would have been an unbelievable bard in the Middle Ages. Walking from village to village telling stories. This was an amazing ride into the past. I lived thru all of it. I still massively miss Escalation Protocol. That shutgun was in my dreams, Trench barrel and all. One of the best activities in Destiny history, on the level with Prison Elders and my beloved Court of Oryx. I would play it NOW if it was reintroduced. That's how good it was. Excellent, excellent video.

[@NovemberHotel]

Glad you enjoyed! Happy to entertain 💪🏼

[@Bobblebog]

Curse of Osiris and Warmind are tough to talk about. Mainly because these DLCs both have to do with topics that I was extremely invested in. First let’s talk about Curse. Easily the worst DLC and time in Destiny’s history. They gave us basically nothing for its content. They ruined Brother Vance by making him a ridiculous fanboy. They ruined Mercury by making literally everything there be inside of the terrible Infinite Forest. Don’t get me started on Osiris. It was so much better when he was a mysterious, powerful and dangerous Warlock who “came to close to understanding the Vex”. Now he’s just an old guy who knows about the Vex and can travel through the Infinite Forest. Great. Eater of Worlds is easily the worst raid ever. One encounter is actually just ad waves. The only cool things that were available were in Eververse. Warmind is much better but also still not good. Ana Bray was an ok character, I didn’t really have a problem with her like I did with Osiris and Brother Vance. I like what they did with Mars. I would’ve preferred a new planet but having a brand new area of Mars was fine. The story was abysmal. They absolutely ruined Xol and Nokris. Such interesting characters in the lore made into weak punching bags. Nokris got redeemed by Season of Arrivals but Xol just got turned into a gun. It would’ve been so much better to have them as raid bosses. Escalation Protocol was amazing, however. It was always a bitch to complete but the loot and the experience were always worth it. Spire of Stars was much better than EoW mainly because of Val Ca’uor. That boss fight was always one of my favorites. (Yeah Whisper gets its own section. That’s how good it is.) Whisper is what made Destiny 2 good. It had a great atmosphere, difficulty, secrets, lore and loot. It brought back that sense of wonder to the game which it had been lacking for its entire life.

[@SlugabedProductions]

[@kano4282]

Man I'm digging the background D1 tracks!!!! 🥰 Love this style of video. Nice work 👏

[@pottedpoppymc]

Really wish they would have delayed D2 launch. The reason it was so bad was because all the good changes in D1 happened after D2 was far into development, and I’m sure they were desperate to try and hit the release window.

[@webzentertainment]

3:06 to be fair Destiny 1 did the exact same thing with the first few expansions. Nobody told Bungie to shove it back then and that’s why it happened again

[@saverofthehumens]

We still have no strike specific loot, there's no cohesive campaign to follow through and best about that is if you want any modecate of a start to finish story you need to buy: shadowkeep, beyond content and witch queen. See the price for those and do the math..

[@Legion849]

And Eververse still is a problem all the good sets are locked behind a paywall. There's no good story to follow in D2 the expansions all of them are separate from one another

[@yy-bs5hx]

I can't wait when you finally cover forsaken era

[@flextimegaming3840]

I remember I stopped playing from Launch Vanilla D2 and didn’t return until Season of Arrivals dropped and from there on is when Destiny once again consumed every second of my life. But ever since Lightfall was revealed I’ve been back on another hiatus because I did not like what I saw in the slightest and that’s really unfortunate because it’s looking like I’ll never return to this game again

[@jakespacepiratee3740]

The Curse of Osiris was pretty bad, but i looked at the Concept Art for D2: Warmind and it depressed me. So much cool stuff was considered, Rasputin getting an Exo body, Nokris's Hive being much more unique, the Worm God being much more grand and ornate, Nokris being much more grand and ornate, the Cabal using a MECH, more Warmind Robots...we missed out on so much.

[@siromnoms]

The only endgame in D2 vanilla was the exotic farm, but from the fact that you could just spam heroic *PUBLIC EVENTS* to check off that list in 3 weeks, I nearly quit and forgot about D2.

[@elijahunger]

Warmind was part of “The Dark Ages.” But grinding for the escalation weapons is something I miss. Easily the best seasonal activity Bungie ever made.

[@saverofthehumens]

Menagerie the other hand really set a standard they're yet to meet. ESPECIALLY how the loot worked, where you essentially pick and choose the gun AND its masterwork you're getting. And with some upgrades you got once a week up to THREE copies, three times the odds of getting the roll you want. Now? 10-17min blueberryfest and you get a SINGULAR item in the end and it's 110% random and if it's armor, the stats WILL suck cause it's not an ""endgame source"" IE a raid etc.

[@jaredf.6532]

Warmind was slowly getting out of the dark ages since the whisper quest dropped during the end of that season I think it was

[@OrionRing]

as bad as the d2 have gotten until forsaken, i actually really liked Mars. it was a nice place to just go explore, i loved the atmosphere and escalation protocol fucking slapped imo but yeah it still wasnt enough to keep my interest

[@ltmad1284]

I grinded Destiny 1 religiously and was hype for Destiny 2 with friends. After the first month my friends from D1 all dropped the game and I carried on solo until the tail end of Curse of Osiris. I wish I had stuck it out because by the time I heard D2 was making a resurgence Cayde was dead, forsaken was vaulted and I couldn't recognise the game. I've been playing consistently now since the season of plunder but I still regret giving up on the game

Not here to nitpick but I'm pretty sure the Eater of Worlds armor was unique, at least at the time of release. The Leviathan Prestige armor was the same as the Leviathan Armor with additional holograms. The Eater of Worlds armor was a different set, the bulky plate mail screenshot you showed wasn't in the game before Eater of Worlds came out.

[@CanadianAdim]

I remember switching to PC a week before the go fast update. The change to movement speed, weapons, nightfall loot, and most importantly for me was they fixed raid loot so you where guaranteed a loot drop after every encounter and not just tokens (as well as raid mods for the Leviathan armour exclusive to that armour and they were strong mods). Warning was special, nothing has been like escalation protocol back in the day, back when you needed 7-9 players to beat it and Spire of Stars was a really good raid (just heavily misunderstood) (and with terrible loot outside of the sleeper catalyst that got added months after launch).

Subbed for the trip down memory lane:)

[@KlaelDemon]

I love these retrospectives mate, cheers. So interesting to look at my D2 Heatmap relative to this. My playtime was super high the first week D2 came out, but dropped off once there wasn't anything to do. I hardly logged in until CoO released, which I played for about 2 weeks before dropping again. Warmind held me a fair bit longer, especially on reset days (one of my days off work). I loved the tone of Warmind, I just really wish that the strikes had been a bit more Rasputin focused, and that Nokris and Xol had been saved for a raid in a new location, rather than having yet another raid lair on the Leviathan.

[@NovemberHotel]

Yeah warmind had some good things like the whisper mission and escalation protocol. The strikes were fun gameplay-wise but MASSIVE let downs when it was Nokris and Xol who should’ve been raid bosses. Glad you enjoy the series!

[@MrAncop]

The worse thing about Curse of Osiris is the location, Mercury was a NASCAR track with the only public event on the middle, there was nothing to it, nothing to explore, to visit, a waste of space.

I remember it being a turning point and us actually finishing off the boring stuff from curse of Osiris we neglected to do. though, the real turning point for us to get more active in D2 was after E3, I do admit I expected an interlude to THAT trailer and how it shook the Fanbase. but I'm guessing you're saving that for the Forsaken video.

I played D1 up to TTK pretty casually, did Kings Fall a few times (first time blind with friends). Played D2 at launch, did Leviathan a few times (also blind with friends). Curse of Osiris made me uninstall and never played until August last year. In 1 year I've played closed to 2000 hours...

[@henram36]

I guess it's helpful to keep the game in perspective sometimes. We tend to look back with rose-tinted glasses, but vanilla D2 and COO were truly dark times for the game in general. Now we have a lot to grind in-game every season with a time-gate to get it mostly done within the season the content/loot drops because of seasonal currencies getting scarce after said-season concludes (if you can make sense of my run-on sentence). Things may be stale right now, but nowhere near what they were in 2017/18.

The Perfect Paradox/Saint-14 mission was the highlight of CoO. Can't believe it didn't get a mention here

[@rechelieu]

Just got to the bit about Brother Vance. That line from D1 "What a strange place to find myself in. What a strange time." is interesting to me and I have a theory, one I think would be a pretty cool storyline for say Lightfall or The Final Shape. Perhaps the Brother Vance from D1 is from the Brother Vance of D2's future. Brother Vance or BV in D2, at the end of Season of Arrivals when the Darkness shows up and swallows Mercury maybe brought the Sundial back online, or had some kind of Time Travel tech, maybe he hid in the Infinite Forest (I'm not 100% on the lore so correct me if I'm wrong). Perhaps BV accidentally sent himself back in time to D1, and had to live much longer there. If he used to be a Guardian, that would explain the not aging bit. Idk, it's 1am and I'm just ranting. Either way, would be cool to see BV show up as the D1 version in a future expansion, and give us some kind of weapon or tool for taking down the Witness.

I purchased the $100 edition of destiny 2 on console and remember being very disappointed mostly because of there being nothing to do at the end and getting recycled content from D1 which they specifically said they weren’t going to do. Nevertheless I played both expansions to get my moneys worth and never touched the game again. Years past now with a pc and I heard the game was ftp and how many great improvements were made to it. I tried it again about a year ago and fell back in love. They truly did revive such an awful and schemey release. Also this video reminded me of so much but my favorite thing was the whisper or worm secrete mission. I still remember watching a KZbin video about it and being so surprised because it took the community a few weeks to even discover there was a secrete mission in the game. It was so difficult that once I finished it was one of the best feelings I got playing the game :)

Really can blame Activision for how a good chunk of the content was managed.

It's really sad that Curse of Osiris was the breaking point for a clan I joined months before the game's launch. They were recruiting people in advance, and I got to know them pretty well, playing Warframe and other games up until the launch of D2. It was really fun, until sometime after launch and... We lost all the steam we had. Drama brought out because of the game's poor state and the purpose of the clan now reduced to just meaningless. Then CoO came out. Moderation changed hands, the server was purged, the clan was renamed, and I never spoke to any of them ever again. They were some genuinely really fun people, but the game we all intended to experience and have fun with together pushed us all apart.

That's a cop out to blame the game for your personality clashes

warmind wasn't really or exactly in the dark age as much, it was the thing that set the game on the right path to seeing the light in the labyrinth that it was in before forsaken "greeted and helped" the game after being lost in there and finaly getting out, if it makes ANY sense knowing me, about forsaken "greeting and helping" the game i mean.

I love this video cause damn, it was a toooooough ass time lolol

[@colinwhitlock5148]

I mostly agree with this but the eater of worlds armor wasn't at all similar to the prestige leviathan armor. The spire of stars, however, was almost identical to the eater armor.

[@NovemberHotel]

Yeah I got those 2 mixed up. My mistake.

[@YoremGale]

I liked Warmind so much, the escalation protocol was fun and the exciting of getting my first Ikelos SMG

[@rechelieu]

Man, that thing did not want to drop for me forever. Once it did, it was already masterworked. I cherished this gun so much. It's still one of the most beautiful shotties in the game.

It's funny. Curse of Osiris and Warmind were both pretty low points in the history of the franchise. Ain't gonna argue that. For me, the lowest point since then was Season of Sweaty Gambit. The game was not very good then, won't lie. And yet, those two "seasons", as they've retroactively become-they were DLCs back then, before we had seasons-never saw me stop playing. I managed to collect all of the Osiris weapons. Got the Sagira shell. Got all of the Escalation Protocol weapons. (Admittedly after they nerfed the later waves, but still.) Found all the Seraph nodes. Largely enjoyed the campaigns. And yet, it was also a low point. They came SO close to getting Destiny 2 right, but the baffling decisions they made that made it bad were SO bad.

[@LunaPPK]

you forgot the biggest reason spire had a lower clear count. the fact it was buggy shit and bungie did NOTHING at all to deal with it

[@Will_b83]

Had a d1 clan with 40 members going in to d2. A week after COO, me and 4 others were all that was left. Most have never come back.

[@NovemberHotel]

Same thing happened to me. Almost My whole friends list quit destiny.

[@Brylant1980]

Yes, there was a shortage of content, but I really liked these two DLCs. I loved the unique atmosphere, style, music on Mercury and Mars and I always enjoyed visiting these planets.

[@rockycvs3]

Getting Sagira was the best part of that grind-fest.

Duuuuude I miss that map @ 18:30
