Soloing a Destiny 1 Nightfall in 2023 

Hunter cloaks have had a running theme of being awful in d2

@@dmajorray6154 yep

Almost like they were actually exotic. You would get so excited about getting one in D1, whereas in D2 it's just another drop that holds only slightly more value than a legendary.

@@rustler08 exactly. Sometimes i am even pissed cs they fill the postmaster

I hate that I’m more excited when heavy ammo drops

In D1 if u get one exotic it means party tonight 🎉 and try hard to get one.then u taste it like chocolate and u can customize it as u please u.D2 exotics like when u get something new after a time u throw it in garbage.

And stuff wasn’t taken away from the base game random loot pool to put behind a paywall like where 90% of cosmetics are now, it’s so sad that the whole looter shooter concept is completely ruined

The vibe in Destiny 1 is definitely better than D2. But my god, that's literally all it has going for it. I recently went from Destiny 2 to Destiny 1 to see how it holds up and wow. You can see the insane amounts of QoL improvements they made in D2. It's astronomical.

@@oxsila after so many years of it being garbage

@@y_strikes2770 literally one year of D2 vanilla before Forsaken, probably the single best expansion in Destiny history (and yes I was there for TTK, sorry dreadnaught was a slum compared to dreaming city)

@@y_strikes2770 u act like D1 didn’t have even worse content droughts 😂

Icebreaker was my first exotic and I loved it. The strike on Venus where you have to enter the Ketch and take out the Fallen boss I stayed high hugged in the hills taking out the adds slowly but surely with Icebreaker. Was lucky one week to have enough strange coins and Xur was selling it. I was unsure if I wanted to buy a sniper or wait for so many others I wanted (Suros, Red Death etc etc) but so glad I grabbed Icebreaker it was so good and useful when solo. As I was a Day 1 D1 I owe it to the game to jump back in to D2 for final shape, I jumped in about 6 months ago for first time after quitting it 3 months into launch and didn’t have a clue what they’d done to the menus and mechanics until I watched a few YT guides but all it made me do was wanna play D1 on my Hunter, I still intend to properly level up my Titan and warlock but the game feels so good it’s great to see so many players. Just a shame Crucible is hit and miss unless it’s a weekly activity it’s hard to find players, although when the weekly is mayhem rumble there is usually plenty of players it’s great fun, I’ve got a cracking roll of year 1 heavy machine BTRD-345 grabbing that heavy ammo it’s really stable and melts players, only heavy that really challenges me is players rocking the quintum terminus which I think was either a nightfall or raid weapon. When playing PVE and tough fights I rock celestial nighthawk helmet for Hunter so 6times power golden gun to chunk off boss health then Super Good Advice for non stop no reload blasting then switch to super stability roll 40+ in the mag Continental auto rifle. Good times! I bought Witch Queen and another D2 dlc but hoping they sell everything bundled for Final Shape and I’ll go back to D2. But I just love D1 was addicted from day 1.

No problem!

And or does nothing like this week lightning crystals which seems to almost reduce your cool downs this is the 4th week it hasn't worked the first run through

It also gave players a reason to use snipers, shotguns, and fusions.

@@adjcsee4476 Literally the only kind of special I've ever used is fusion rifles (and line fusion rifles). They're so much cooler and actually feel good to use, shotguns feel weak and I can't use snipers.

Finally, someone who isn’t blinded by nostalgia. We all love D1 because it’s the original destiny we grew up with and played, but it’s not anywhere near as great as D2 is in its current state, despite the flaws the game currently has

@@Gee-bg2rv sipping that copium?

@@sauceboss9443 you are I’m guessing . D1 is not as good as D2 and that’s not debatable

@@Gee-bg2rv I personally prefer D1 just because 1) the once harder parts of the game such as nighfalls and dungeons feel so much easier. 2) The idea that you actually can level up your gun as you play and everything is more set rather than having to do a constant grind for the same gun to get your preferred roles fells really nice 3) not really because of the game but that was where I met most of my PS4 friends. (This reason is totally not blinded by nostalgia at all XD) I'm honestly really sad that the game died. I still play the first game more than the second one just because the second one was kind of messed up after they decided not to make a third game for the other DLCs after Forsaken and it feels like they watered down a lot of the original activities that they brought back. The second game did have my favorite storyline, which was the Red War, which they VAULTED and I got kind of salty about that. Just my opinion tho

Year 1 destiny was the best...my first exotic in d1 was HARDLIGHT the original HARDLIGHT my favorite auto rifle😔

Very cool dude! Can’t wait to see them!

And you are a legend for keeping it, ps it's still alive and kicking in 2023 me and my buddy play it daily on the PS3

I do feel like D2's version of the subclasses, mantle, and QoL updates, if added to D1 (60fps, higher FOV, etc) would make D1 almost perfect

Imma be honest I don’t remember the jumping puzzle at all

@@ThePackman627 d2 subclass style would ruin d1, it's pretty much trashed d2

It's a better game in every way

@@Letsanum yeah it's garbage compared go d1 subs

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks bro!

You would've loved D2 year 1 it was just like D1. Beyond light smashed everything Destiny stands for.

@@henrikmonkee actually warmind and curse of osiris did. But I’ll never forgive bungie for ruining the game by removing year one content and not even leaving it optional

💯

It still does

That's why he's the GOAT! THE GOAT!

Yeah those nightfalls were BRUTAL in year 1. Lots of fun tho going for exotics each week

Appreciate it!!

Glad you enjoyed.

If you ran the Nightfall solo back in the day, flawless was the only way to beat it, otherwise, you got booted back to orbit. It was awesome! (exception - self res Warlock - which I was!!)

Loved the way Imago Loop looked, even though it was just a silver version of fatebringer

There was a glitch where if you didn't move from a spot on the final boss he would just sit there and let you fire away until dead lol.

The good old times broda

Ikr. Those flying submarines are so astronomically ugly. I would rather hang dead over a fence then calling one of these my ship.

Oh god remember when TTK came out and the first NF was Shield brother, solar burn, grounded. One of THE hardest NF to have ever come out.

What the fuck are you talking about it's much easier to hit crits on console thanks to the insane bullet magnetism on controller.

@@BlackWingGenesis Lol why do clowns still think there isn't bullet magnetism on M&K?

@@bannedmann4469 mouse and keyboard has considerably less bullet magnetism. Since I am not underaged like you I can simply plug a controller in my PC and see the massive difference.

@@BlackWingGenesis Lol you're mad. Keep moving that goal post. Keep seething.

Flinch isn't free

D2 really is a downgrade in the visuals department. Unfortunate...

Yep. Valus. Good times under those stairs in that strike lol

that strike solo is seriously tough. the shanks that rain down from the ceiling make it especially difficult.

I sure do haha. Great spot

I use to have dragons breath for this specific encounter. It clears the adds and does a decent damage to the over itself.

Oger...

There's quite a promising project that is trying to emulate D1 on PC (though only the PS3 version, so no Rise of Iron)

According to other mentions of it and Suros Regime in the comments, I believe you’re right! 🥂
