The Exotic Weapon That Changed Destiny Forever - Destiny 2

[@smjaj_]

looking back on this, i have no idea how i managed to get this gun.

[@yetizo1515]

lmao same I guess now the grind seems harder than it did in d1

[@peter2kx]

I have no idea either. I can’t even get myself to the raids in D2 tbh let alone grind out an exotic like this. I was a big completionist back in D1.

[@jebhank1620]

Easy. Basically all this stuff was really fuckin fun to do.

[@davidgrossenbaughiii6904]

I remember seeing the touch of malice on a titans back in the tower when I first got into destiny. I googled it and watched Dattos guide almost religiously to eventually get it. It completely changed how I saw the game and the grind felt worth something. By far one of my favorite exotics to this day.

[@RaiderGlaceon]

My experience was similar. I saw a video of someone who used it to solo Crota and then I set out on my quest to hunt it down myself

[@chrisgironda1746]

I miss good weapons like this one. I miss D1, and not in that "let's just reintroduce D1 weapons into D2" kind of way. D1 had a way of making the best loot feel *exotic* , desirable, powerful, and worth the grind to get them. D2 is easy mode for casuals and lacks any kind of inspiration. I wish they had gone the opposite direction and continued on the path to more and more interesting/powerful weapons (with lengthy, thought out, difficult steps to achieve those items). In my opinion, an mmorpg looter shooter should have hard content for the most devoted players to consume, and D2 is not a good example of that system. D2 has the "grind" for the sake of grinding, and some hard activities, but they've straight up taken away the concept of the best rewards coming from those activities. Now you get emblems/shaders/poop. I'd imagine that was a result of too many casuals claiming they didn't want the best gear to come from modes they couldn't do, but that's how these games should be... Too bad they could never figure out how to separate pvp from the rest of the game as well.

[@jmuk3571]

Well while the original mountaintop quest was a bitch, getting that gun felt amazing to finally get, honestly I don’t want mountaintop or recluse retired or any weapon really. That’s just my opinion though. I forgot how much of a grind touch of malice was to get but those were some great times in destiny

My buddy said RL's weren't going to be that great in D1 but I didn't listen to him. So he bought a piece of armor, then kicked himself a short time later once everyone figured out how sick Gjallarhorn really was. It was probably over a year later before he got one to drop and he had to listen to me daily tell him how wrong he was LOL!

Now, if you meant some of the quest pinnacles you would be right, but that's mostly just this season.

[@danielmaldonado4452]

@Vox it's not that simple though. They'd have to find people who actually want to work for them and are qualified. That also takes time and money. That's why imo I think they're using the seasons to cop up more money until they're ready. Well just have to wait and see what happens.

(hawkmoon gets me tempted but still) bungie should make new guns, new perks, guns that feel fresh and feel differently, some of us don't want a gun that we used for a few years back then... at least imo

[@123mickymouse123]

I believe you are talking about different things. What he's referring to is reminiscent of what you see in CCGs, where a few outliers completely dominate older formats and require newer cards to be either far more powerful to the point of absurdity, or for the older cards to be rotated out. Your definition has more to do with the overall strength of characters relative to the enemies, and is also very applicable in Destiny since it's not uncommon to see bosses be killed instantly (which is a shame IMO). He does kinda missuse the word, but the point he's making is valid. I'd personally rather have rotations coupled with perks other than kill clip + outlaw.

[@Alassandros]

@@123mickymouse123 I'm not sure what the point of your comment is. In order to make my point, I acknowledged his underlying message. My point is in the misuse of the term "power creep". He isn't talking about power creep. He's talking about something else. Also, in Destiny, the strength of the character is dictated by the power of weapons and ability as well as power level so power creep (the proper definition) can apply to Destiny.

Thank you so much for watching! I want to correct myself, clarify, and add more that I missed! I think the correct term instead of power creep is Weapon Fatigue Power creep isn't what I described, but it is close, power creep is when the game introduces new items (mountaintop, recluse) and leaves old ones under powered, I think weapon retirement is good for this reason. Touch of Malice was kind of nerfed where it stopped allowing titan bubble over-shield to proc with it, thus killing the user very quick again. Thank you and new merch is coming soon!

He told me that scouts were the best type of gun and to this day on my D1 PS3 Warlock, my primary is a blue scout that I used for EVERYTHING. I got taken king and the other 2 expansions when I got my copy for Christmas and from the moment I learned about exotics I felt like I needed them. Then I found out about a touch of malice and it was and still is my main destiny goal across both games. The fact it was an exotic scout from the best DLC imo just sealed the deal for me but I've never had a fireteam to help me through kings fall and I never knew much about the game to farm it, the most farming I ever did was for a sword.

The amount of times it would be like 3 in the morning and we’re all so close to finishing KF and then it transcends into everyone just having a laugh in the end, not even wanting to finish the raid. The days man...

[@certifiedhalfwit7714]

Can we have a exotic sword vid from D1? Loved those quests (even though they were a pain) but the reward was well worth it.

[@firasdrass943]

Could not agree more with you, grinding for Raze lighter, bolt caster and dark drinker was the longest and best grind I ever did in destiny 1. AHHHHHHHhhhhh nostalgia is hitting me hard.

[@tJamesn]

Firas Drass aw man this is getting me in the feels, jeeeeez remember having to go into pvp and get kills

[@mattpatterson8633]

[@gannonwaring9876]

Ikr that was incredible tedious

[@TheFearlegend]

Man you really emphatized how grindy this exotic quest was, but to me it was a pleasure to farm this weapon (except for the halium fragments part) the quest was long but entertaining and extremely satisfying to finish because the gun was op

[@ramsayz123]

The adventure for the touch of malice was the best quest ever! Kings Fall was my fav raid, taken king my fav DLC etc. Absolutely loved every minute of destiny 1 in that year. Let's hope beyond light is even half as good

[@deadly777]

Thank u for letting me reflect on some good memories

[@wardhuff5683]

I love these videos. So Very cool to see the story of the game. Keep em coming.

[@Pack52022]

Damn I remember the grind for this and it was tough, I was so happy when I got it. It makes me sad though that I may never get to meet the fun raid teams I had again. Respect and love to those guys honestly.

[@flobaowski6806]

man i‘m watching every single D1 vid of u wit tears in my eyes...those were the times🙏

[@tomekdeadjoke9812]

I 100% back Legendaries retiring. I know that in Destiny a gun is not a simple statstick with some nice twist like, let's say, Shadowmourne in World of Warcraft, but the negatives of never doing any sort of reset is heavily ouweighing the positives, and it's very much catching up to us. The way they're doing it - letting us keep the weapons, but pushing us to use new stuff where our Power matters (NFs, Iron Banner, Trials, Raids etc.) is a good compromise.

[@jhalilxvii]

I agree 100%

[@TheSwayzeTrain]

I wouldnt have an issue with weapons sunsetting but if the current seasonal pool of weapons and their potential perk rolls are anything to go by the primaries in the future are going to be very, very, VERY middle of the road. Not a god roll in sight. PS Please don't use sniper rifles, just get in close with a sword.

[@negtive0269]

Yes

[@alexanderloughran2716]

James M this seasons weapons need to be looked at with the warmind mods, which are incredibly powerful

[@TheSwayzeTrain]

@@alexanderloughran2716 The mods are great but you have to realize that in a few months you won't be able to use those mods as they won't work on the new armour. As yet they have not decided what time they will retire weapons, they said it's potentially in the 9-15 month range. So you could be left with a mediocre weapon roll that you can't the benefit out of unless you equip an older seasons piece of armor e.g. armour from Season of the Worthy.

[@SCP--106]

I actually enjoyed using this weapon. Funniest thing is my mates and i actually went flawless using this back in d1 as a challenge and the reactions we got was 10/10

[@itachixsakura602]

Man, I really miss the Court. I used to Sherpa hard in D1, and would ALWAYS be found hanging around the Court of Oryx helping other guardians finish their charged runes for their ToM.

[@pherhunter617]

Dude this exotic quest was the most painful exotic to ever get and will probably always be the hardest I remember all this grind like it was yesterday from how painful it was to get this bad boy.

[@jacobpugh344]

Not letting me use my favorite weapons is irritating, because I always try the new weapons as I earn them but with the exception of the new seraph carbine I’m not usually a fan of how they feel.

[@prisonbillcosby8670]

The exotics in D2 def took a far step back from what they were in D1, especially the raid exotics..(vex mytho, necro, malice, etc.)

[@darkwolf1739]

As far as raid exotics theyre still insane. Tbh anarchy is probs the best raid wepon in d2 AND d1. Only complaint is do something beneficial to tarrabah lol, still potentially insane but why would i overall use it over say huckleberry?

[@FSUincRS]

Anybody that disagrees on this statement has clearly only played D2 the exotics and even legendaries on that game were not only better looking but there effects and perk trees could be used to add slightly more customization to your class , heck if D1 exotics weren't good why are most of D2s exotics just D1 exotics they nerfed and brought back lol JS

[@lilith2295]

@@FSUincRS I played d1 way more than d2. most returning d1 exotics were buffed and stronger than they were in d1.

[@abitofsupport601]

Chest hunting in the dreadnaught for those materials was a pain but SO worth it

[@parkersavage8774]

Touch is what I equip when I go back into D1. I soloed the Fear’s Embrace and felt very rewarded for getting that gun after several failed attempts and intense, sweaty gameplay. My favorite part of this game is it’s story, so having this long amazing quest to get Touch and then realizing you are pretty much holding Oryx in your hands after is absolutely amazing.

[@usedlife3793]

The Taken King DLC was and still is the single greatest content Bungie has ever ( and seemingly will ever ) put out. Especially with the whole new micro season and battle pass approach they have adopted. The ToM quest was perfect and stands as the benchmark of how to introduce and handle exotic weapon quests. No Exotic should ever be given via a battle pass it's lazy and stupid. Was ToM a good weapon? Yes, was it my go to? No. But I always remember and cherish it because of what I did to get it. Still my favorite exotics were all from D1 year 1 when the ONLY way to get a exotic was Rng from bounties turned in... and back then we had no idea what the weapon was when it offered you three choices! My first exotic weapon in D1 was an exotic quest that resulted in me receiving Supe Good Advice. It was and will always be my sentimental favorite just because It was my first. (BtW it was actually really good) I hate exotics in D2 they're given out like candy on Halloween, and if you have bad RnG no problem... XÜR will probably just offer it up next week -.- ( Seriously XÜR has to be reworked or go away! )

[@N.aattee]

D1 had xur too

[@hunterwolfe669]

L he didnt have fated engrams, and his currency was much rarer. In a weeks worth of grinding you could prob get 1 item from xur, in D2 you can buy his entire kit and get a guaranteed exotic you dont already have. Exotics aren’t even rare anymore. The only exotics i feel are rare are the whisper, outbreak, and a few raid weapons because their somewhat challenging

[@N.aattee]

Well maybe I’m just a hoarder but I always had the strange coins to buy everything and have lots of coins left

[@nikovelmerig5913]

Ever heard of that thing called "Forsaken"? Cause that's the best content drop for Destiny

[@hunterwolfe669]

Niko Velmerig i gotta disagree, im more of a fan of taken and hive gods tham the spliced peeps and i just liked the vibes of taken king more, i also had more fun with the content and the loot was better imo. Both were incredible and theres no denying how incredible the last wish raid was.

[@Daniel-bv6be]

I miss the fatebringer, black spindle, gjally days 😔

[@EvanVanderVeen]

This was Destiny at its prime. This quest consumed me and made it hard to think of anything even other than Destiny. Although it was such a grind, it was so rewarding in the end. I’m still playing Destiny 2 from time to time but it doesn’t grab my attention like it use to. My time on the Dreadnaught is some of the best times I’ve had in video games. Great video though!

[@acgearsandarms1343]

I’m more curious from a lore perspective. How would such a weapon return if we were to reconstruct it?

[@mattghent4270]

Retrieve it from Oryx's body on Saturn maybe? That would be dope.

[@jbeaverjf878]

The way they keep adding exotics where they are literally easy to get, they shouldn’t add this weapon in D2. Bungie lost their touch but we’ll see what they got for season 11 and year 4

[@dankerbell]

in season 11 and year 4, you will be forced not to use the weapons you love. and they actually said they aren't retiring exotics YET. which makes no sense, exotics should NEVER be retired.

Destiny 2 not so much. I'm hoping D3 will be it.

[@hexxcarbonox6104]

The biggest thing I miss from D1 are fusion rifles like the Darkblade's Spite (from Alak'hul's Sunless Cell strike). That fusion rifle felt like a monster to unless because while yes, the impact stat was quite high for a fusion rifle, the gun even FELT impactful to fire. All the standard fusion rifles in D2 feel weak and unimpressive to wield like Omolon fusion rifles. I loved how the gun type felt in D1 and found it considerably wanting in D2, personally.

[@tomebers8683]

I played D1 so much it got to a point I was teaching parts of raids 😬(yes I know not as good as teaching full on raids but I helped loads) I felt so important to be part of a great community. People cared about your progress and what you had to teach. I grinded everyday to get this weapon when I finally got it I was so happy after hours and hours of endless gaming

Weapon retirement does solve it tho. It worked with Taken King and I don’t see why it wouldn’t with D2. The only reason people don’t want weapon retirement is cause they don’t wanna let go of their stats

Ralez I love grinding but F**k d2 is WAY too much I’m literally switching to D1 because I prefer grinding in that game more and the way to fix it is to stop making OP weapons valence before there released
