The Raid That SAVED Destiny: The Vault of Glass - Destiny

[@evanf1997]

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed this really long deep dive into the raid that in my opinion saved Destiny, the one that started it all, the Vault of Glass! I want to just say this one took me a very long time, but hopefully it was well worth it, thanks 😊

Just completely not knowing what to expect.

I have 3 memories that are chiseled in deep. Prior to running it, (and being Able to run it) I was a 10 or 12 level female Hunter patrolling near the Gate. A team showed up and started to open the door. It being brand new I had no idea what they were doing other than they were going into the Raid. So I tried to help. No mic. I have a memory that I could hear them. Could people outside of your party hear you? I sorta remember that they were saying keep the Hunter alive, this is great, Hunter going down get over there! Great stuff. Being so low on light I got wrecked. But I drew fire and helped out. Kept dieing and they kept reviving me. I became the 7th man. When the Gate opened I ran up to it and danced them in. They each stopped: saluted, pointed at me or took a knee before plunging into the Abyss... On my first raid me and a Buddy assembled a random team. Being a complete cornball I had them muster up on the grass with their toes on the sidewalk line. Good straight formation. I'm ex military. They did!! And because of that the rest of the Tower came over to watch this ridiculous spectacle. I paced in front of them like a general. Pretty much channeled Aliens. "All rt people we're gonna do this by the book. I want us to be prepped and drop ship ready in 5. Get any gear, ammo, soda and chips your gonna need for this mission. Don't forget to tinkle. Now, we're going in peacefully, but peacefully or not, we're going in" Which leads to the 3rd memory... This was the first game where characters could emote. So when I asked if anyone had run the raid yet and one of the characters, still in formation, RAISED HIS HAND.....the hilarity, excitement and fun of that busted us all up. IT WAS EPIC. Messages poured in from those watching wanting to join us or friending us. That 1st team became friends for years. A band of brothers and sisters indeed....

Listening to all of these D1 raid videos you've done is bringing up some powerful nostalgia and even more powerful emotions. Sadness being the biggest one, so many of my former raid teammates who I did all of the raids with either stopped playing or stopped speaking to anyone else. Some people say friends come and go but raid buddies are a special kind of bond and when everyone is gone, it leaves a hole that can't be replaced even if you go to new teams, then the cycle repeats itself. I've met so many cool people and made tons of friends in the D1 raids but now most of them are gone. There is something about spending multiple hours a day or week with these people conquering these challenges that is irreplaceable and incredibly special.

People who knew how to raid could get through it pretty easily, but i feel like the main thing that makes the comparison unfair is the sandbox, which drastically changes how players interact with the raid.

Remember Reach

[@masonmatzker2285]

I remember the first time I beat the Vault. My friend group had finally gotten high enough in levels to actually push for a run, but we had no idea what to do. In comes an old friend of mine who I hadn't played with since the days of Reach. He acts as a guide, teaching us the encounters, but only enough for us to get the gist of it. It was up to us to figure out the rest. We ended up bonding over the experience, creating a group we called Team Motley Crue. It took us 8 hours, but we finally got to Atheon, and it was 4 in the morning. Most of us had classes the next day, so we agreed to pick it back up the next evening. The next day, 4 of us get back on. The other 2 had to work, but told us to push on since the next day was reset. We flew into the raid, not knowing whether or not we could do it without them because they were both of our titans. With a team of 3 golden gun hunters and a self-res warlock, we went in with one goal in mind: win. It only took an hour or so for us to get the hang of the mechanics, but we realized our one significant issue: our warlock was too squishy to hold his own against the supplicants. Once we got the hang of the fight it came down to pure luck on whether or not we would beat Atheon. We needed a perfect run where our warlock got teleported every single time. Fast forward 2 hours later, we still hadn't had our perfect run. There were a few where he got enraged, but we couldn't pull through. It was our last run of the night, our last chance, and we knew that whether or not it was the run we needed, it was the run we had and we would not let Atheon win again. The first teleport, the teacher, warlock, and myself. I grab the relic and melt the hobgoblins as they take care of the oracles. All goes well for the 2nd teleport, same team comp. On the third, it happens: all 3 hunters get sent over. It was up to the warlock to survive long enough for us to get back over. We went as fast as we possibly could, destroying the oracles as they appeared, the warlock barely clinging on to life. As the third hunter crosses back into the arena, the warlock dies. Atheon's health was a sliver as he entered his enraged state. We had no heavy ammo, none of us could use a synth, and we were all low on special ammo. With just 3 of us, counting the shield bearer, we had to push hard. We all pulled out our fusion rifles and blasted away, desperately hoping it would work, with me picking the shield back up after each shot or two. We ran out of special ammo and all swapped to our primaries, hoping there was enough time to save the day, when a miracle happened. My golden gun was ready for use. Swapping with one of the other hunters for shield duty, I popped my super and fired all 3 of my shots. With the shield about to disappear for the final time, my third golden gun shot finished him off. Atheon was dead. As we cheered in celebration, all of us in the game, as well as my college friends watching the action behind me, we knew we had just done something special. We beat our first raid in Destiny with a team of only 4 people. We told our other teammates that we did it, and they congratulated us. We all agreed to run it again after the weekly reset the next day, and this time it only took us 4 hours to beat instead of almost 10. During this run, one of our friends told us about a rumor he had heard on Reddit. An exotic weapon called the Vex Mythoclast. He only had the chance to read that it came from this raid, but we all knew what our goal was. As Atheon fell to us, it only took 3 attempts this time, only one of us heard the heavy slam of an exotic appearing. I jumped out of my chair and cried out in joy as I received the Vex Mythoclast. This was before the nerf, so it was an absolute monster of a gun. We all piled into a crucible match, just to see it in action, not knowing what it did. Needless to say, we won the game by a mile, with me sitting at the top of the leaderboard for our match. We couldn't wait to raid again and try to get it for everybody else. Over the next few months, 4 of the other 5 members got it, with our squishy warlock being the only one to never get it. This is why the Vault of Glass is not only one of my favorite Destiny raids, but one of my favorite things in all of gaming. We all had stories of overcoming bosses and beating games, but those were all single player games, or pvp matches. This was an experience that we all shared together, and one that I won't forget for a long time.

[@ScareChasm]

[@PRISMOFFATE]

When I first completed the Vault Of Glass, I was 11-12 years old, and man I will never forget it. My team was forgiving and really pushed us to beat back the darkness. I remember looking for a group, saying hi for the first time in the Xbox party, and then just going to town. I never was able to get crazy loot, but the secret ship from the chest in the Templar's Well, the drop into the gorgon's maze, the time I used the shield to bash into the Templar and have it crumble before me - memories I still cherish. I remember jumping into the past and future in the Atheon fight, cleansing and massacring some of the most unique Vex that I still adore today. (descendant vibes?)I remember getting my second ever exotic from the Vault, receiving the sniper and using it for the first time. VOG was and will forever be my favorite raid, it was painfully simple but it introduced us into this grand scheme, and made me grind the game until the near end of time, stopping when Destiny 2 was about to come out. I downloaded Destiny 2 9 months ago, starting as a new-light in the season of the Undying, and yet I still remember the simple days, when leveling mattered and when the community was just dedicated, not angry.

We did the same thing for one of my friends and he got the Vex, I hadn’t gotten it yet after like 5ish clears. He also got suros before it was nerfed. I didn’t get suros until after the nerf. I didn’t get gjallerhorn at all and at 20 hard mode clears I gave up trying to get vex 😂

Although VoG is probably the best and most iconic D1 raid, I think Kings fall is just as good as a raid. Plus other raids have their iconic moments. For Crotas end its the lamp section with the thrall, for kings fall its the entrance of Golgoroth and the final fight with Oryx, for Wrath of the Machine its the Zamboni.

First, great video with the nostalgia feels. When Destiny came out I didn’t have many friends playing it and I didn’t try the normal VOG initially. It wasn’t until the 2nd day of the hard mode that I was invited to fill in at the Atheon checkpoint, clueless about all of it, I remember shooting harpies and trying to stay alive. Then about 15 minutes later the group beat atheon and I was awarded the Vex Mythoclast. I had no idea what it was or why the dudes who invited me were upset I just got it. It didn’t take me long to figure out the Vex was incredible. I’m primarily a PVP player and obviously the vex tore people apart in crucible back then before the nerfs (and even after the nerfs it was a pretty beast gun). It wasn’t long before the few friends I did have in game got incredibly jealous of how fast I could tear oppenents apart and wanted the vex as well. We decided to learn how to raid. With my Vex in hand (one of very few in those early weeks) I quickly became a crucial and critical member of the raid party. I learned how to use the relic, how to walk the maze, how to cheese the oracles by being the guy that went down, I became addicted to raiding the vault. All the while building bonds with my raid team that are continuing today. Then I discovered LFG and started helping walk randoms through the vault, often 10+ times a day. It wasn’t long before I had a complete set of raid gear and every raid weapon to go with it. All because I got invited to fill in on a final checkpoint, it changed the way I’ve gamed ever since.

[@thezebiano]

"What makes a raid great to you?" The experience of it. The thrill of finding out how to solve it, while being with a group of more than 4 people where everyone must do their part, else everyone dies. I love to give all I have for a longer period of time (6 hours or more) to be able to feel the accomplishment and joy that a raid gives. I can't explain it correctly I'm afraid, but it's just so many positive things. The only downside is when your teammates don't feel the same as you and leave you mid-raid. Kind of kills the mood. And no, I don't really care about the loot. Sure, loot is pretty cool and expected to be high for such a difficult task (solving the raid and killing the boss), but I personally will always enjoy the whole experience of the raid more, than being able to use a weapon for the rest of the game without any effect. Thank you bungie, for creating something so freaking amazing.

[@ademafan]

Same here

[@silvereagle404]

same. d1 raids were waaaayyy better. it was more about shooting and a little bit of mechanics during the shooting. d2 is ALL about mechanics still need to shoot, but even the shooting has mechanics in d1 you could bring 2 noobs with you and carry / learn them the raid and still beat it. in d2. you can't, you simply can't. d1 raids, if somebody messed up. and you had somebody with you that knew the raid he could actually save the run by taking over that persons role. d2. there are 6 roles. there's no taking over and saving the run. i did the same on d1.. did all the raids. got all the gear. and played the raids for fun. d2. did the first raid, got the armor. didn't even bother to get all the guns or whatever. didn't play it for fun. cause d2 raids are no fun. it's a goddamn obstacle course with no room for errors not even small errors. it takes away ALL THE FUN.. not to mention d1 still had good guns, good subclasses and awesome perks. but little did we know, that the hunters were going to kill this entire franchise by crying for nerfs on everything that isn't hunter.... it might surprise you, but they still do till this day cry for nerfs on anything that isn't hunter.

It’s funny to watch this video today and think back of my first time playing Destiny with my friends (who ironically got me into the game) He showed me all this cool mechanics of the raid and the weapons as well. So I got the game and played it. The thing is That The Vault of Glass would be the first Raid I have ever done in my entire life. I have never played another game before that had a raid mechanic. So when I went in there I was overwhelmed. So many people screaming and doing 100s of callouts per second lol. However when we reached the finally… and I got my first exotic the “Mida Multi Tool” I was shocked that I got my first ever Exotic weapon and it made my time in the crucible SO MUCH BETTER at the time. I wanted more. And that’s how I would end up getting hooked into Destiny 1 for the longest time possible

Personally my favorite part of any raid is when your with a group of randoms and a person dies mid encounter. The panick was intoxicating but the best part was mid fire fight organizating the scrambling teammates and just barely scratching by for the big boy W. Always my fav moments was vannila hard mode confluxs and people are always doing well but then 1 person dies then another. Quickly assessing people's lvl and abilities to organise them of who should support the weak link while not copermizing the rest of the team was just so much fun on the fly as the team gets picked off 1 by 1 untill I am the last man standing making a final stand doing my best to defend 2 confluxs and at the last moment before we fail. Victory Also enjoyed the sunsinger cheat with atheon as 3 people get teleported but as sunsinger you kys this only 2/6 are alive. Selfres and back too 3/6 but you can open the gate for the 2 and finish atheon off. One of the things that I didn't see many player do in confluxs/oricals was as sunsinger you kill all the fenatics in your supper. So, those who don't know sunsinger was the only sub class that allows you to use a gun but more importantly at the time it had the longest duration and you create infinite orbs. So, as a sunsinger I could make gets say 20-30 orbs per player during the fenatics and you only needed 3-5 orbs for your entire supper. This your teammates were stacked and had almost infinite supers. Ah I miss selfres, solor shield, per-nerf solor wind, and the juicey og Ghorn.
