Evan please do a video on the division! After the patched out all the bugs after the first year, the game was revamped and was so much fun. Had it been how it was in year 2 and 3 at the start of year one, I feel it’d have been as big as destiny.

[@sharkdude7]

Destiny Year 3. Rise Of Iron and Age of Triumph will always be one of my favorite years of Destiny and gaming. Always have so much nostalgia for it.

[@willspinner2968]

Wrath of the Machine is my favorite raid! I’m not sure if it’s biased, either way it’s a good raid but I love it because of the time I had during Rise of Iron. Something so special about that dlc and the end of D1. Great times!

[@kalsabrain1370]

As a player who joined at the tail end of the Taken King expansion, this has always been my favorite year of destiny. Everything the age of triumph did for me, and by extension my friends, cemented my love and addiction to the series. So glad to see the Age of Triumph get the recognition it deserves.

[@Devorone]

Personally this was the best event or even dlc Destiny has given. It completely rounded out the game and left it in a fairly perfect state. I miss D1.

I'm so glad Destiny 1 ended on such a fantastic note. I still love playing it to this day, the game still has such a solid gameplay loop and gorgeous aesthetic that D2 can never top. I genuinely recommend this game to this day because of how well it still holds up 8 years later. Its an experience I think any shooter fan would appreciate. If anyone is reading this, I hope you will hear me out and check the game out for yourself. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I have and that we can give the D1 community some much needed life. If this message never gets heard at least I tried.

For me at least D1 felt a bit needlessly slow. Sure it was fun but it just. Felt slow to upgrade things, that and the armor system and perks being completely random doesn't sit well with me personally.

[@autumncasket106]

This update is what started my addiction to Destiny. I built a PC just to play Destiny 2 because I assumed the game would continue in this direction. The ending of the video is exactly what I came to realize after WQ launched, sadly . It's so unfortunate to see all the potential get wiped away because of monetization (along with my drive to put meaningful time into the endgame). Loved the video as usual.

[@Res_me_plz]

The Age of Triumph is what made me try out all the raids, granted I still didn't complete Kings Fall cause the raid team I was with quit because another dude made a mistake and basically gave up. I finished Wrath of the Machine, Crota's End, and Vault of Glass doing the challenge mode for them just to get the sick armor and weapons. Nothing in Destiny 2 has compelled me to run raids anymore, except that one time with friends.

The great thing about Destiny 1 Age of Triumph is that you can go play it right now! Unlike much of the Destiny 2 content, sadly.

[@AcropolisGD]

I'll never forget the day Age of Triumph was released. I remember coming back from school earlier from doing the last day of the state test, and then spending a week playing the update. Fun times

[@oofmysoul140]

I hope Bungie will soon notice that the pattern with the community is a good intriguing story to play through and a good title and armor set (glowy) to grind

[@twitchykun]

I just got my first title yesterday. Something like this is nice to remind me of the good times.

one small detail. SIVA did NOT take over rasputin. rasputin ordered siva to kill the iron lords because of his desire to kill felwinter, his son.

Efrideet's gnarly bootleg garage project Iron Banner guns were the best Iron Banner weapons for me. Unique sound and look. The armor was badass and IB gear dropped like crazy. Definitely need these back or ones similar. I really miss when Bungie would put badass ornaments in activities rather than in eververse.

[@Phoecian]

Season of Arrivals was, very loosely, Destiny 2's Age of Triumph; all the old raids were farmable at a high level allowing recollection and nostalgia of those old raids before they would be deemed either useless or just removed from the game entirely. Arrivals (to me) was the last good season Bungo has made for these reasons. Furthermore, Beyond Light was meant to be Destiny 3 meaning Arrivals essentially played the same role for Destiny 2 (Year 1-3) that Age of Triumph did for Destiny 1, wrapping up that era in a nice bow for the community.

[@KiddBuu_]

This was the absolute height for Destiny as a franchise for me. It was on the right track for continuing forward and showing that Bungie could actually make Destiny the game we know it has the potential to be…then D2 happened…and as D2 continued I realized Destiny will never be that game, instead it’ll just keep delivering more of the same Destiny we’ve been playing for the past 8 years…

[@caljam82]

I had been playing destiny since I saw it on Redbox a few days after Croat came out and I haven’t looked back since. Rise of iron was something truly special. Every day was an amazing adventure with my new clan. Been with the same clan ever since

[@AlejandroTecman]

Mi wild guess is that some creative choices (visuals) sayed with the company that helped to produce the game (activision), thats why some content was vaulted, and the content that returned, came back with significat astetic changes

My Destiny 2 Age of Triumph would basically be to merge D1 with D2. Obviously this would be very difficult from a technical standpoint, but just imagine a directory with every location, a strike playlist with every strike, and a crucible playlist with every map, all the raids....

[@sillysiji5257]

Thank you Evan for being on of the few out there mentioning that Bungie is actively working on other projects. I personally think we are seeing the beginning of the end for support to Destiny 2. Year for Rise of Iron had similar steps to what's happening. I honestly won't be surprised is Final Shape gets cut short to a season or released sooner than later. At this point I'm expecting their supposed plan to do content beyond Final Shape to be non-existant at this point

I still dream of the day we get the AoT raid ornaments in D2

I loved Destiny 1, which is crazy because when it first came out I bought it and absolutely hated it. I came back right at the Taken King and fell in love with Destiny haha. My all time favorite activity in either Destiny 1 and 2 is Prison of Elders. Destiny 1 really did almost everything better but overall Destiny 2 has been good. I just wish Bungie would’ve gone with World of Warcrafts model, kinda like they are doing with Destiny 2. Don’t do the 1, 2, 3, 4 etc thing, just add expansions. I’m glad I got back into Destiny but I sure wish we would’ve stayed playing year 1. Awesome video as always, thank you.
