I remember us talking a little about this after we recorded spicy clips. Hearing your mentality turn around like this is quite something. I can say it really comes from the heart.
I myself came back with Into the Light. Destiny feels good again, and it’s great to see so many returning Guardians enjoying themselves. Keep it up, Bungo.
@@TDTProductions you and i have crossed paths before, i now impart on you a build a simple but powerful build Sealed ahammmmmmkarrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaa graspsssssssssss Plus forbarance ambitious assasin+rampage On arc hunter with blink
Honestly, I kinda wish I could give TDT and MynameisByf a group hug. You guys have given the whole community so much of your time logging both the in-universe lore and the lore of the franchise. I’ve spent hours on your channels learning as much as I can to be my clans lore master. Thank you two from another old light. May the sun singers rise again during the Destiny Sunrise!
exactly, i was planning to leave aswell but then the final shape news came in, it's like when people are leaving bungie brings a great expansion or something
I still don't trust Bungie for a big variety of reasons. The suits at the top may have nearly killed the game by restricting the devs, but I have my own issues with the people underneath them. The writing team essentially ignoring their own recently established lore just so someone can write their own ventfiction into the game, to coming up with absolute garbage reasons as to why we didn't get a new enemy faction when the pyramids invaded ("We wanted to subvert expectations, lol"), to lying about the lore-invested community by saying everyone took Unveiling literally - when the book was so incredibly clear there was no way it was a literal description of events and more of a translation of cosmic pre-time into a more easily understood metaphor for readers to comprehend - and then called all of us essentially idiots for being invested in Unveiling so much when it was THE lore drop of their first solo expansion into exploring the Darkness, and more. The sales team for absolutely draining all of the cool resources the art and modeling teams make to stuff into Eververse. And then increasing the prices of seasons to just the right level to jump from $10 USD to $15 USD, selling $15-$20 armor sets, and more scummy pricing and sale practices, like selling campaign skips for Lightfall lmao. The community management team, for poorly communicating what's going on with Bungie and Destiny to the community for years while also catering to the more unhinged, disturbed players who are terminally online - and that turned out badly when corporate kept making the game worse and worse and those unhinged people got insanely nasty to the community team, forcing them to quit or withdraw from the online discourse even harder. Also I don't trust the advertising and marketing teams either, as they hyped the crap out of every single DLC since Shadowkeep, each one being a letdown besides Witch Queen, and then they hyped up Lightfall to be like some Infinity War nonsense - and then this whole year of Lightfall has been 90% filler and reskins and key-jangling. That's not all, but it's a good view of issues in the company that didn't stem from just upper management. It's clear to me that this Bungie isn't the Bungie that even made the OG Destiny, and more of a collection of parasitic departments clinging to talented gameplay designers, modelers, animators, and core game developers. I'm not going to be won back by Bungie adding a quick and dirty game mode we've begged for for years that rewards shiny old guns given perk refreshes that invalidate chasing anything similar in-slot, or the unsunsetting of what remains of our old gear, or finally adding a mostly new faction of enemies (in the original Final Shape trailer they mentioned the Subjugator is "THE new enemy _unit_ you'll be facing" which heavily implies the Dread as a whole didn't exist then). These are things the core devs cooked up, while the rest of the company still hasn't made up for their anti-player behavior, and it's been going on for years. I'm back for Final Shape, but beyond that is a most likely not for me. They've shown me how you don't make and run a game and company properly.
@@trashjash that part about unveiling just shows how little you really understand about the lore, the "sales" team doesnt exist, its just the COO CEO and the CFO which is behind the sales which further invalidates your "its not the upper management" point. most of OG bungie still is there since halo believe it or not (halo wasnt even owned by bungie they were commissioned by microsoft to make it) the new game director is with bungie since they were macintosh exclusive delevopers with marathon 2 so i would say that also is not true. if you really want absolute proof that upper management screws destiny just log in the game and play for a while, youll realise the gameplay is fluid and fun and that's what gaming boils down to in the end. all the things you just said scream corporate chief executives milking the most money possible out of something good.
@@trashjash Most of this is absolutely because of management or is a non-issue. The Sales team puts everything into Eververse and increases prices because upper management makes them and the community management team is essentially just the company mouthpiece and can't say much that hasn't been "approved" by upper management. The advertising and marketing teams are just doing their jobs of... advertising and marketing the products. You're essentially angry that they successfully did their job which is a non-issue. The only thing here that probably isn't a management issue or a non-issue is the writing team and I don't know enough about that to really comment on it. Also as a side note, they've explicitly said that the Dread were added because the delay gave them time. It's not just heavily implied that the Dread didn't exist at the time; it's confirmed.
>talks beautifully about his relationship and attachment to a game that is important to him >Puts a beautiful soundtrack that solidifies everything his saying >PLAYS THE CLEANEST ASTROCYTE VOIDLOCK PVP MATCH I EVER SEEN on the topic tho im glad i joined in season of the deep, this game is special and im glad to be part of it!
Nothing has yet happened. Stop getting your hopes up . Let’s wait till everything releases. I’m tired of putting my faith in bungie and not having it be rewarded
@@Kyubii01 Same. Everyone seems to have forgotten how downright awful this past year was, and also several seasons from last year, not to mention the blunders of Beyond Light and Shadowkeep, all because we got a quick and dirty activity we've begged Bungie for years for and it's dropping shiny refreshed fan-favorite guns that have perk combos potent enough to never need to chase anything similar in-slot ever again. Witch Queen was a lucky hit by Bungie if you look at their track record after Forsaken, but having the disastrous filler stuffed with reskins that Lightfall really is immediately after seemingly almost shocked some sense into the players, and that scared Bungie into giving us the most basic of free activity to keep people invested until the Final Shape drops. And we don't even know if Final Shape will be decently written! It could be another macguffin chase inside the Traveler for all we know. Beyond Light was just "learn Stasis to unlock doors and kill the frosty Fallen because we don't want them to have this new power", Shadowkeep was "replay these old, reused boss battles to make gear to enter the Pyramid", and Lightfall was "use the magic green rope to kill cabal and save this random city except oops we lost I guess?" Witch Queen was the only compelling main DLC story since Forsaken, so Final Shape has maybe a 25% chance of being written well? I'm staying to see how it ends, but my investment beyond is most likely a no. Maybe if Bungie unvaults all the old Strikes and destinations I bought in year 1 and 2 I might keep playing.
@@trashjashyou’re right about all that. People are jumping the gun super quick saying destiny is saved. And I would love for this game to be saved, but until I play the dlc I won’t know so I’m holding off on my opinion till June 7th
Honestly, this hits really close to home for me. Me, my brother, and my dad all played Destiny together from D1 beta to Rise of Iron, but stopped as me and my brother grew up. I played D2 at launch of course, but didn’t seriously play it until Beyond Light. I then stopped towards the end of Season of the Deep as college started and D2 was at a really low point, but suddenly, my dad came back to Destiny with Into The Light, and so did I. Between all of the good news with Destiny and being able to replicate the good old days with my dad, I’ve been genuinely happy and enjoying the game. It has been really great to connect with my dad again as I don’t really get a chance to see him much. All of this is to say that you aren’t alone in your feelings.
I mean there going to be bringing it back into with better perks and a foundry perk, better get ready to grind another 20k kills on the new one, your old ones will stay the same besides power level
I'm loving that people are having similar experiences like this. I was farming Kalli yesterday when I saw an old friend that I hadn't played with since Shadowkeep was online and playing on his own. It really reignited my passion and outlook on the future seeing friends I hadn't played with often since I had to basically convince them to play, now deciding on their own to get on and play and putting it into perspective for me how much things are changing for the better.
Really glad you got to catch up with an old friend. Our clan leader got fed up with destiny a few years back and left. I would still catch up with him occasionally playing other games but never in the same way. He was always planning to come back for final shape to ‘see how it all ends’ but was tragically killed on New Year’s Eve. He is so missed and wish he was here to farm midnight coup with as he loved that gun.
@@benarchyuk837 (in order in the video) first song is "guardian" (d1 ost), second is "lost horizons" (d1 ost), third is "excerpt from the hope" (d1 ost), fourth is "excerpt from the ruin" (d1 ost), and the fifth track is "the traveler" (d1 ost). this took a really long time for some reason so please enjoy
Without you I would have never started playing Destiny, I'm glad you're sticking around because I probably wouldn't be able to without your content, Thank you
Yesterday i didnt feel like grinding, i booted up the EDZ turned off hud and just explored, i ended up finding an old black armory location and i *THINK* vanilla campaign location but i just explored it was a good day, i want to rewrite the new light campaign/experience now
I understand what you mean Mesome. Red War was when my clan was made and everyone still keeps in contact, even when were not playing together, and its helped me meet awesome people like you, Nomad, Patty and lots of others. Helped forage a family for me when things got really bad for a while.
Been running flawless raids recently with friends. Even folks that didn't buy Lightfall (and were aware of how lackluster it was from us buying it) came back and are having a blast ignoring all the bad stuff
I literally went through this last week. Alot of old friends I haven't seen online came back to D2. I was so excited to see them on I got them in a party and was talking with them. Talking with them was so fun and talking about what's been happening with our lives and everything else. I learned they came back online and on D2 because of the recent livestream bungie did. I was so happy to get them through everything and catch them up with the game they left. Made me feel like my D1 and vanilla D2 days where I would just help anyone I find through the game. I hope Bungie keeps this up. I don't know how many of us well stay if they drop the ball again.
Thank you for being so open and speaking what i feel most of us are actually thinking or have thought. I e been playing since D1 release and i recently quit the game for 6months... it was a very hard and bittersweet time for me. After rejoining 2weeks ago, i can't believe i ever even considering taking a break from something thats a huge part of my life.
Good to have you here brother, I´ve been in this game since D1 and through highs and lows and I feel exactly how you feel, thanks for what you do, love you men
I felt this today. I am one of those that planed on sticking around even after the final shape. My friend on the other hand. my duo content partner. he was ready to quite after echo's, but thanks to these past few weeks of destiny news he called me today and asked about doing raids again and hunting catalyst like vex mytho. He's excited to play again and even me yea i planed on staying but after everything coming I'm even more excited then ever before about what's to come. i really hope bungie keeps it up and lets the developers go wild
Cannot believe how abruptly I started tearing up towards the end. I feel this. Destiny is one of the reasons I have the friends I do now. So, thank you to the community for this wonderful journey, and I hope the rest of the voyage is just as crazy and exciting.
I don't remember exactly when, but you started showing up in my feed a few years ago and quickly became one of my favorite content creators. That is due in part to the creativity and humor of your videos, but also due to your humanity. You always lay your thoughts bare, in a way that I'm sure many of us can relate and understand. Thank you for being honest with yourself and for being transparent in a way that not many are. Whatever the future holds for your channel, just keep being the person that you are. We'll be there with you in thick and thin. 🖤
Bungie announces like a trillion free things simply for the sake of the game and making it fun, they announce 3 new maps, horde mode, pantheon, sunrise, TFS coming soon, they upload Prismatic and the new exotics, a new whole race and location and its like i feel overwhelmed now like WOW theres a lot of stuff. AND WEVE STILL only seen like 10% of TFS
First time? I was 15 when I started playing Destiny the franchise. This franchise has gotten to the edge so many times. I've watched over the years, you, Byf, Azz, Datto, (inset destiny youtuber/streamer). You guys are the reason I started streaming. Started trying, so to hear your mentalities turn around after watching for months feels great. I'm happy for all of you. The long and short of what I'm saying here is thank you, thank you for not giving in to soon.
I love that you had the D1 music playing in the background of this video. Its very fitting and it kinda feels like we are on the way back home. Lets just hope home feels as good as we remember when we get there.
You know, if there’s one thing I love most about your content on TH-cam, it’s that it shows how human you are. I can actually connect with what you say, even if I don’t always feel the same. You’re funny, and I mean REALLY funny, but you also have intention behind a lot of what you do. I admire that.
i love how, to my memory, TdT is usually showing some decent gameplay. Impressive, but not gobsmackingly mindblowing. Then we get this. A guy who just had some life breathed into his passion, a rekindled friendship, and we see him absolutely demolishing crucible culminating in a 'we ran'. Ain't no way people can say that "mind over matter" don't work. Glad you're sticking around.
its nice to see people expressing these feelings, we can all relate to an extent our friends that we have been playing with every day quitting one by one. The other day, my friend who basically taught me everything i know about destiny came baack after 2 years and I love destiny again
Love you too, TDT. So happy I found your channel. I somehow managed to keep loving the game and enjoy playing it for all these years, and I’m glad you are managing to enjoy yourself again :)
So many of us quit… D1 was my LIFE but as time went on I faded when D2 started and I didn’t have that connection. But D2 is coming back around to me now that I’m teaching my little bro about the game. And I feel the same way
you killed it mesome. probably my favorite video you’ve put out yet. captures everything I’ve been feeling the last 8 months. such a wild, confusing, beautiful game and I hope it hangs around so more people can realize it too
Very beautifully put. I stopped playing D2 around a couple seasons after Witch Queen dropped, and then had no desire to get back into it with the things I heard about Lightfall. With all the great things I see happening, I might actually get back on the D2 train this summer.
So well said man. I’ve been with Destiny since day 1 of D1 and most of my friends have stepped away or taken long breaks. I was pretty close to finally doing the same, but after the last couple weeks I have changed my tune and friends are starting to come back too. I hope things can continue to go this way. Wish you the best.
Remebering why we play destiny is a part of what keeps destiny alive and kicking. Playing games just for the sake of playing games is nothing more than a timekiller, but games like destiny are ways to make new connections to people, ways to achieve victory over obstacles, and so forth. Those memories keep both us and the games we play driving, and we must never forget that.
That We Ran at the end with Nova Warp was awesome. Also, mad respect for the John 3:16 dude. Always love your content and thrilled you're sticking around.
A (long) open letter to TDT, Thank you. I as a Destiny player am in a very strange and specific situation. I'm a relatively new player who joined back in the middle of Season of the Witch (mid September 2023), around that 8 month mark you mentioned. I'd known about Destiny for a very long time though. My love of it started way back in D1, when as a kid I would watch my father play on his PlayStation. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen, super-soldier space paladins, wizards, and marksmen. The awesome abilities, incredible universe, and iconic characters enraptured me even though I wasn't the one holding the controller. However, eventually my dad put the game down, for the same reason as many other players, corporate greed poisioning a game he once loved to enjoy by himself, but especially with friends. I wasn't tapped into the community at the time--I was more interested in books than the internet back then--so I didn't really understand. So even though he stopped, the world of Destiny clung to my mind much harder. Years passed, and my gaming passion grew. I started with a 3Ds XL, eventually moved up to the family console, got a switch when it came out, and eventually got my own gaming laptop when I joined the Overwatch team at my highschool (my love of Overwatch is a similar story for a different day). As I got used to PC gaming more and more I started to connect with people. I managed to get my girlfriend into overwatch, who consequently got her best friend and friend of mine into the game, who then introduced us to her long distance Canadian boyfriend who I'll refer to by his gamertag of "Pug". Pug and I became close friends really quickly. We loved similar games and just understood each other's vibes. Playing with him was always a great time cause we would either mess around or have some serious conversations I couldn't have with many other people. And it was him who finally made me decide to download Destiny 2. He had played the game forever (since launch of D1 and had thousands of hours total) and while he never really recommended it I, him playing reinvigorated that old interest I had as a kid. He made a new account and showed me the ropes while I was a clueless warlock who didn't even know how armor stats worked, and gosh it was a great time. That journey into the grand universe of Destiny was incredible. I have never gained such a love for a game so quickly. Everything was amazing: gameplay, lore, universe, SOUNDTRACK, all truly awesome. I carry that passion with me to this day because I really do love this game. Yet, as I got more into Destiny and the community I started to learn about all this bad blood between the playbase and Bungie. All the negativity people had when they played was, honestly, such a turn off from the game. Pug introduced me to his raiding group when we did my first raid (Deep Stone Crypt, I wanted to hear the song in game), and hearing people bash the game felt so wrong. I was fresh, i had new eyes, no experiences of the trenches these players went through that slaughtered their love for the game that I was still carrying. Eventually the negativity started to get to me. The onslaught (no pun intended) of hate slowly beat down the flames of my passion, and I started to not enjoy the game like I used to. Their hate felt like poison and while I tried to resist it it just kept beating down from everywhere I looked in the community. I hated it, and started to hate how i wasn't liking the game as much as I used to, but I still pressed on. I still found enjoyment playing every day, just taking some breaks now and then cause burnout is a b****. But no matter what I still felt like the lone defender of this, at least as I saw it, amazing game. But seeing you talk about your reinvigorated passion was inspiring and emotional. I finally saw someone else say positive things about this game, and a content creator none the less! You have honestly thrown some rather large logs onto my fiery love of Destiny, and for that I thank you TDT. You've earned the spot as the best creator in this game, in my opinion, for your sheer humanness and ability to be vulnerable about your emotions. I’ll likely be hopping into streams when I can now (the names e1gran on twitch if you’re curious) so I hope to see you then. So once again, thank you greatly. Bless your unknown face, and deuces.
It's funny, because one of my best friends I made on Destiny (my brother met him back in early D1, I became friends during mid to late D1) quit because of things like sunsetting. My brother told him of the changes coming, and he surprised us by coming back last night, for the first time since Witch Queen. We had a blast. Regardless of how long he sticks around, I'm loving the fact that he, and probably others, are coming back to the game.
I feel this. I've been having a hard time with a LOT of games as of late, but as soon as a friend gets involved, everything picks up. It feels much more fun, it feels exciting! It's a shame I've no sunset weapons to fall back on, had some good, fun ones back in the day, but unfortunately, those are gone. I've been in a similar boat, feeling like I was pulling away from Destiny, was planning on EVENTUALLY getting Final Shape, but now... seeing everything they've done and what's to come, I'm back into it. I'm invested, I'm excited. I'm ready to stick it to the Witness! May people come together with games for a long time to come, it's a great bond maker for me and I'm sure many others.
i’ve been watching your videos since season of the splicer. you take on the things we see in the game is very unique and important. please keep up the process, and thank you for the consistency.
2:32 that music is pure nostalgia + finding that long lost friend you played with back then just added to it. if ykyk That music drawled instant tears from me damnit *slaps himself back to man hood*
Thanks for making this video. It's really nice to see someone being genuinely positive about this game, while still acknowledging the less than ideal circumstances the game has found itself in recently. Destiny means a lot to me, I've been invested in it for 10 years now, I still remember coming across my first video about this game, it was MoreConsole covering the reveal trailer I believe, and I got hooked. I struggle to articulate just how important Destiny is to me. It's my escapism and my comfort game. I've made friendships that have lasted years through it, and had some truly incredible memories. I'm just so glad to see community interest peaking again. Some of us never stopped loving Destiny, but those who lost faith weren't in the wrong, they just felt betrayed. But the fact that they are returning now and finding a new reason to love this game again makes me emotional. And I love it.
That was quite ...teary. Made me realise that I've been play since it started and I have not played everything in the game, I am pleased its a part of my world and creators like yourself still feel it as well. Keep it up.. ;-)
I've had similar feelings about the game for a long time, ever since my ps5 broke back in November, I've honestly been looking back at the memories I've made throughout my time, I miss those friends I've made in this game, I am hopeful I'll return someday soon 😇
Glad to hear your thoughts. Makes me want to launch the game again. It's one of those game i never really left, still come back... until the last expansion. It's been nearly 6 months maybe more since i've played. I am struggling to came back on it, but it seems like a good time to try when i hear everyone.
Hey man, just wanted to say that I suffer from really severe depression and other mental problems. Your videos, your passion you put into your content, it truly helps me, it makes me smile and keeps me out of a dark place. I know that I’m nobody, but I just wanted to say thank you for what you do and giving some of us a way to smile each day and not suffer as much. God bless you dude truly!
The D2 music swelling as he said "former glory" really does make me miss the wonder D1 had with it's unexplained mysteries and that I think has been missing from D2. I hope TFS will be a return to form, especially for all the folks who started with D2 and never experienced that same vibe.
I'm pretty sure I've said this before. I will follow your content wherever you go. I've seen other comments that have said the same before. I'm looking forward to the next chapter in D2. Remember guardian. Keep your feet up.
Playing Destiny with a friend is the best thing to do. For example, my brother and I spend well over an hour throwing us down the cliffs on europa. Best time of my time in Destiny.😅
Your content has always been a happy spot to watch a game I had actually left a few months ago likely wasn’t going to return to myself but I thought for the years I’ve played this franchise while my friends have all but left this game behind I’ll give it one more go and the builds and entertainment I got from all you’ve done has always made me happy to continue and enjoy a game that I’ve played since 2015 to now. From me to you keep up the great work and always keep a smile on your face Dueces
I'm not a content creator, but Destiny and by extension Destiny 2 has been a massive part of my life, it, quite literally, has saved my life on a number of occasions, seeing this recent string of insanely negative things coming from Bungie has hurt to watch, and now, seeing all the positive changes they've been both adding (Into the Light) and change (retiring sunsetting) has renewed my love of Destiny, and reinvigorated my drive to play.
Can i just say that my respect for you as a creator is alwayss increasing? The fact that you are willing to bear your all in this platform and be honest about how you feel and where your head is it shows a level of care i will forever hold in very high regard ❤
I'm not a content creator, I'm just a married dude in his late 40s that basically FEELS THE SAME WAY AS YOU! I love it! I've always enjoyed your videos and give them at least a like and a view, your hard work is evident. I took a 4 month break, first time since D1 beta .. and I've been hitting D2 hard the last few weeks and yes, it does feel fresh and I know it's NOT just I took the break! Hoping Bungie keeps up the good work!
I'm a destiny beta player, and I feel you on this. I have made life long friends because of this game and have countless memories of doing raids and being in a clan, staying up to obsurd hours through the night, on into the morning be cause "One Last Run!" Even through all the bad stuff bungie had done, I have been invested in this game and Had to see it through. Sadly I am the only one to still play im my clan because of the greediness, and I can't leave my clan cause I am the unofficail clan leader (it was named after my charactor). That and I happen to be very sentimental about it. But with The Final Shape, I am so excited to play and see what happens for Destiny, and with LFG being a thing, I may be making more friends and/or rivels. It's all very exciting!
Your lucky your buddy came back to play. I returned a year ago back into game after a 3 year hiatus, wish my buds would return still hoping but for now I'm just enjoying the past years content and what's next too. Cheers bud! I'll sub.
You spoke for a lot of us here brother. Destiny has got me so excited I’m even thinking of making my own content. Kinda late but idc but I feel energized
@TDT, i might not be on ppl streams but i do love seeing real content that care about their channel or whatever. THIS channel makes great content and i can see you guys care about the content. KEEP UP THE WORK!!!!
It's real wonderful to see you happy TDT, i'm glad to see that electro is around again. Heck, you should invite him to a video sometime maybe! I bet the two of you would have a ton of fun with critmagnet lol. But again, cheers to you man, and heres to many good days to come.
I’m coming back to this game in a week as I’m at college right now. I’m pumped to hear that a game that sucked me in to the point of near addiction is that magical again.
The first few minutes of this video I was like “this guy has lost it”… then he went on, and he’s right, it feels good to have that old Destiny feeling back and well Guardians, I look forward to the future. Here’s to you 🍻
Honestly I'm new to this Chanel but this is nice to hear. I'm glad that others are starting to pick destiny up again, me my brother and my dad used to play all the time together but it just got too expensive. Then we got back in to it and it is fun again.
Tdt; your words ring true. I felt similarly. I'm looking forward to that feeling again of this game being something I'm excited to get on when I get home. ... and I'll join your clan if you need more friends, lol.
Weeks ago, I was begging one of my friends to get on for the new update. Today, I don’t even have to ask him. Because everyone else got back on too. If they land the Final Shape- oh boy.
Ever since I joined TDT 3 years ago, my life went on an entirely different route. Getting into Destiny and TDT has been the greatest gift in my life, and I’m happy to share a ton of fond memories with you and everyone else. ❤
Glad that your still sticking around, due to a friend. Now I have never had a friend say lets play, hell to be honest to me this is not a game that makes you any friends, at least to my experience, or have a actually friend to play this game with. But glad your still sticking around.
Mesome, for what it's worth, you're by far my favorite destiny content creator on youtube, as well as the player I've studied the most to learn and master blinklock. I'd love to see what you'd do with other subject matter. I'm glad you're feeling the same way I am about the game. I was there for the D1 beta and lately it hasn't felt like "I'm just slogging through until Final Shape and then I'm out" to justify the years I've put into this franchise. Lately, I've been looking forward to playing, to getting fresh new rolls and looking forward to breaking out my some of my old ones. Hope to run into you in the crucible one day.
Last night I was playing legend onslaught with 2 of my oldest online friends who I met during Season of Arrivals. Talking smack, making builds, strategizing for bosses; it’s nice to see how far we’ve come, and I can’t wait to play The Final Shape with them.
I'm glad you had that moment of realization. Ive had that a couple times, its a nice feeling to see something more profound manifest out of the fog of what's happened the past few years. I'm glad some people havent been irreversibly impacted by all this stuff, and I hope the only people who stay and return are doing it out of fun and not the nasty cycle that developed over the past years. I'll still play when and if I find it fun, but I haven't shaken the ick I get from the televangelist vibe of paying for a hope of something better as opposed to something that IS simply better, no hidden strings.
Just wanted to say that I watch your content because I love your humor, your sincerity and what I see as love of the game. I’m so glad that Bungie appears to really be turning things around. I truly am very excited for final shape and beyond and it is pleasure to see that you feel the same!
I feel you, the end of last year I barely touched destiny and was just going to play final shape to see how the story ended, but with onslaught I have started having fun again.
TDT honestly u touched my heart man... i- i didn't have many friends to play with back in the day... but.. ill maybe get to share those old memories with new friends... if i make any 😭😭😭😭😭
I remember us talking a little about this after we recorded spicy clips. Hearing your mentality turn around like this is quite something. I can say it really comes from the heart.
Wholesome Byf!!
I myself came back with Into the Light. Destiny feels good again, and it’s great to see so many returning Guardians enjoying themselves. Keep it up, Bungo.
Yeah seeing my friend on for the first time in about a year really did a number on me

Honestly, I kinda wish I could give TDT and MynameisByf a group hug. You guys have given the whole community so much of your time logging both the in-universe lore and the lore of the franchise. I’ve spent hours on your channels learning as much as I can to be my clans lore master. Thank you two from another old light.
May the sun singers rise again during the Destiny Sunrise!
Destiny 2 player: Wants to quit
Bungie: No you don't * starts cooking *
Basically yeah
Of course I would rather NOT want to quit but how things were going it felt like an inevitability
exactly, i was planning to leave aswell but then the final shape news came in, it's like when people are leaving bungie brings a great expansion or something
I still don't trust Bungie for a big variety of reasons. The suits at the top may have nearly killed the game by restricting the devs, but I have my own issues with the people underneath them.
The writing team essentially ignoring their own recently established lore just so someone can write their own ventfiction into the game, to coming up with absolute garbage reasons as to why we didn't get a new enemy faction when the pyramids invaded ("We wanted to subvert expectations, lol"), to lying about the lore-invested community by saying everyone took Unveiling literally - when the book was so incredibly clear there was no way it was a literal description of events and more of a translation of cosmic pre-time into a more easily understood metaphor for readers to comprehend - and then called all of us essentially idiots for being invested in Unveiling so much when it was THE lore drop of their first solo expansion into exploring the Darkness, and more.
The sales team for absolutely draining all of the cool resources the art and modeling teams make to stuff into Eververse. And then increasing the prices of seasons to just the right level to jump from $10 USD to $15 USD, selling $15-$20 armor sets, and more scummy pricing and sale practices, like selling campaign skips for Lightfall lmao.
The community management team, for poorly communicating what's going on with Bungie and Destiny to the community for years while also catering to the more unhinged, disturbed players who are terminally online - and that turned out badly when corporate kept making the game worse and worse and those unhinged people got insanely nasty to the community team, forcing them to quit or withdraw from the online discourse even harder.
Also I don't trust the advertising and marketing teams either, as they hyped the crap out of every single DLC since Shadowkeep, each one being a letdown besides Witch Queen, and then they hyped up Lightfall to be like some Infinity War nonsense - and then this whole year of Lightfall has been 90% filler and reskins and key-jangling.
That's not all, but it's a good view of issues in the company that didn't stem from just upper management. It's clear to me that this Bungie isn't the Bungie that even made the OG Destiny, and more of a collection of parasitic departments clinging to talented gameplay designers, modelers, animators, and core game developers. I'm not going to be won back by Bungie adding a quick and dirty game mode we've begged for for years that rewards shiny old guns given perk refreshes that invalidate chasing anything similar in-slot, or the unsunsetting of what remains of our old gear, or finally adding a mostly new faction of enemies (in the original Final Shape trailer they mentioned the Subjugator is "THE new enemy _unit_ you'll be facing" which heavily implies the Dread as a whole didn't exist then). These are things the core devs cooked up, while the rest of the company still hasn't made up for their anti-player behavior, and it's been going on for years. I'm back for Final Shape, but beyond that is a most likely not for me. They've shown me how you don't make and run a game and company properly.
@@trashjash that part about unveiling just shows how little you really understand about the lore, the "sales" team doesnt exist, its just the COO CEO and the CFO which is behind the sales which further invalidates your "its not the upper management" point. most of OG bungie still is there since halo believe it or not (halo wasnt even owned by bungie they were commissioned by microsoft to make it) the new game director is with bungie since they were macintosh exclusive delevopers with marathon 2 so i would say that also is not true. if you really want absolute proof that upper management screws destiny just log in the game and play for a while, youll realise the gameplay is fluid and fun and that's what gaming boils down to in the end. all the things you just said scream corporate chief executives milking the most money possible out of something good.
@@trashjash Most of this is absolutely because of management or is a non-issue. The Sales team puts everything into Eververse and increases prices because upper management makes them and the community management team is essentially just the company mouthpiece and can't say much that hasn't been "approved" by upper management.
The advertising and marketing teams are just doing their jobs of... advertising and marketing the products. You're essentially angry that they successfully did their job which is a non-issue.
The only thing here that probably isn't a management issue or a non-issue is the writing team and I don't know enough about that to really comment on it.
Also as a side note, they've explicitly said that the Dread were added because the delay gave them time. It's not just heavily implied that the Dread didn't exist at the time; it's confirmed.
>talks beautifully about his relationship and attachment to a game that is important to him

>PLAYS THE CLEANEST ASTROCYTE VOIDLOCK PVP MATCH I EVER SEEN
on the topic tho im glad i joined in season of the deep, this game is special and im glad to be part of it!
Same here man, been playing for 5 years now and it always makes me happy to see new players enjoying the game despite its flaws
Electro lives?!
The ever botastic man returns
@@aspxctgaming6194 indeed, he's my favorite toaster.
The third Renaissance of destiny. And the second Renaissance of D2. That's what this thing is looking to be
Yeah, Lightfall is the equivalent of the Osiris expansion.
Nothing has yet happened. Stop getting your hopes up . Let’s wait till everything releases. I’m tired of putting my faith in bungie and not having it be rewarded
Wasn't WQ considered the biggest thing after Forsaken?
@@Kyubii01 Same. Everyone seems to have forgotten how downright awful this past year was, and also several seasons from last year, not to mention the blunders of Beyond Light and Shadowkeep, all because we got a quick and dirty activity we've begged Bungie for years for and it's dropping shiny refreshed fan-favorite guns that have perk combos potent enough to never need to chase anything similar in-slot ever again. Witch Queen was a lucky hit by Bungie if you look at their track record after Forsaken, but having the disastrous filler stuffed with reskins that Lightfall really is immediately after seemingly almost shocked some sense into the players, and that scared Bungie into giving us the most basic of free activity to keep people invested until the Final Shape drops. And we don't even know if Final Shape will be decently written! It could be another macguffin chase inside the Traveler for all we know.
Beyond Light was just "learn Stasis to unlock doors and kill the frosty Fallen because we don't want them to have this new power", Shadowkeep was "replay these old, reused boss battles to make gear to enter the Pyramid", and Lightfall was "use the magic green rope to kill cabal and save this random city except oops we lost I guess?" Witch Queen was the only compelling main DLC story since Forsaken, so Final Shape has maybe a 25% chance of being written well? I'm staying to see how it ends, but my investment beyond is most likely a no. Maybe if Bungie unvaults all the old Strikes and destinations I bought in year 1 and 2 I might keep playing.
@@trashjashyou’re right about all that. People are jumping the gun super quick saying destiny is saved. And I would love for this game to be saved, but until I play the dlc I won’t know so I’m holding off on my opinion till June 7th
Honestly, this hits really close to home for me. Me, my brother, and my dad all played Destiny together from D1 beta to Rise of Iron, but stopped as me and my brother grew up. I played D2 at launch of course, but didn’t seriously play it until Beyond Light. I then stopped towards the end of Season of the Deep as college started and D2 was at a really low point, but suddenly, my dad came back to Destiny with Into The Light, and so did I. Between all of the good news with Destiny and being able to replicate the good old days with my dad, I’ve been genuinely happy and enjoying the game. It has been really great to connect with my dad again as I don’t really get a chance to see him much. All of this is to say that you aren’t alone in your feelings.
Now my 20k pvp kills on Antiope-D will continue to rise. This week's TWAB was some of the greatest D2 news I've ever heard.
Fucking hell, I don’t even think I have 20k kills overall
I mean there going to be bringing it back into with better perks and a foundry perk, better get ready to grind another 20k kills on the new one, your old ones will stay the same besides power level
I still remember the day i deleted my tap the trigger kill clip roll
that is a name i havent heard in years wow what a nostalgia blast
AYE! A fellow antiope-D user! One of my favorite smgs.
I'm loving that people are having similar experiences like this. I was farming Kalli yesterday when I saw an old friend that I hadn't played with since Shadowkeep was online and playing on his own. It really reignited my passion and outlook on the future seeing friends I hadn't played with often since I had to basically convince them to play, now deciding on their own to get on and play and putting it into perspective for me how much things are changing for the better.
Most people must be playing destiny feeling like they have to at this point
Really glad you got to catch up with an old friend. Our clan leader got fed up with destiny a few years back and left. I would still catch up with him occasionally playing other games but never in the same way. He was always planning to come back for final shape to ‘see how it all ends’ but was tragically killed on New Year’s Eve. He is so missed and wish he was here to farm midnight coup with as he loved that gun.
My Condolences man
The backing track you have on from D1 is goated, always takes me back.
Destiny always had beautiful music 👌😁
so real
What are the tracks used?
@@benarchyuk837 (in order in the video) first song is "guardian" (d1 ost), second is "lost horizons" (d1 ost), third is "excerpt from the hope" (d1 ost), fourth is "excerpt from the ruin" (d1 ost), and the fifth track is "the traveler" (d1 ost). this took a really long time for some reason so please enjoy
Those songs always make me feel like sharing a tear or getting up from my chair. Idk what that feeling is called.
Eyes up guardian we are all here.
Without you I would have never started playing Destiny, I'm glad you're sticking around because I probably wouldn't be able to without your content, Thank you
Yesterday i didnt feel like grinding, i booted up the EDZ turned off hud and just explored, i ended up finding an old black armory location and i *THINK* vanilla campaign location but i just explored it was a good day, i want to rewrite the new light campaign/experience now
was it niobe labs?
@summonerdestroyer6965 yes and no, it was a cave called "SMIDUR'S CAVERN" and the "SALT MINES" but the mines had force fields so I couldn't go further
@@goodsir1004oh that place! if you really want to go past the barriers in the salt mines you can oob into it. just look up froggy's video about it
I understand what you mean Mesome. Red War was when my clan was made and everyone still keeps in contact, even when were not playing together, and its helped me meet awesome people like you, Nomad, Patty and lots of others. Helped forage a family for me when things got really bad for a while.
Been running flawless raids recently with friends. Even folks that didn't buy Lightfall (and were aware of how lackluster it was from us buying it) came back and are having a blast ignoring all the bad stuff
Incredibly heart warming and wholesome. Glad to see Electro come back around too.
You are one of the creators who keeps this game alive, my friend. We love you.
I literally went through this last week. Alot of old friends I haven't seen online came back to D2. I was so excited to see them on I got them in a party and was talking with them. Talking with them was so fun and talking about what's been happening with our lives and everything else. I learned they came back online and on D2 because of the recent livestream bungie did. I was so happy to get them through everything and catch them up with the game they left. Made me feel like my D1 and vanilla D2 days where I would just help anyone I find through the game. I hope Bungie keeps this up. I don't know how many of us well stay if they drop the ball again.
Thank you for being so open and speaking what i feel most of us are actually thinking or have thought. I e been playing since D1 release and i recently quit the game for 6months... it was a very hard and bittersweet time for me. After rejoining 2weeks ago, i can't believe i ever even considering taking a break from something thats a huge part of my life.
Good to have you here brother, I´ve been in this game since D1 and through highs and lows and I feel exactly how you feel, thanks for what you do, love you men
bro nearly got me teared up especially with the music omg🥲
I felt this today. I am one of those that planed on sticking around even after the final shape. My friend on the other hand. my duo content partner. he was ready to quite after echo's, but thanks to these past few weeks of destiny news he called me today and asked about doing raids again and hunting catalyst like vex mytho. He's excited to play again and even me yea i planed on staying but after everything coming I'm even more excited then ever before about what's to come. i really hope bungie keeps it up and lets the developers go wild
This game has always been at it’s best meeting new people and having a full friends list. Glad you you got back in touch with Electro!
Cannot believe how abruptly I started tearing up towards the end. I feel this. Destiny is one of the reasons I have the friends I do now. So, thank you to the community for this wonderful journey, and I hope the rest of the voyage is just as crazy and exciting.
I don't remember exactly when, but you started showing up in my feed a few years ago and quickly became one of my favorite content creators. That is due in part to the creativity and humor of your videos, but also due to your humanity. You always lay your thoughts bare, in a way that I'm sure many of us can relate and understand. Thank you for being honest with yourself and for being transparent in a way that not many are. Whatever the future holds for your channel, just keep being the person that you are. We'll be there with you in thick and thin. 🖤
Bungie announces like a trillion free things simply for the sake of the game and making it fun, they announce 3 new maps, horde mode, pantheon, sunrise, TFS coming soon, they upload Prismatic and the new exotics, a new whole race and location and its like i feel overwhelmed now like WOW theres a lot of stuff. AND WEVE STILL only seen like 10% of TFS
The music is on point here. I feel very positive again about destiny and I am glad you guys reconnected
First time?
I was 15 when I started playing Destiny the franchise. This franchise has gotten to the edge so many times. I've watched over the years, you, Byf, Azz, Datto, (inset destiny youtuber/streamer).
You guys are the reason I started streaming. Started trying, so to hear your mentalities turn around after watching for months feels great. I'm happy for all of you.
The long and short of what I'm saying here is thank you, thank you for not giving in to soon.
I love that you had the D1 music playing in the background of this video. Its very fitting and it kinda feels like we are on the way back home. Lets just hope home feels as good as we remember when we get there.
You know, if there’s one thing I love most about your content on TH-cam, it’s that it shows how human you are. I can actually connect with what you say, even if I don’t always feel the same. You’re funny, and I mean REALLY funny, but you also have intention behind a lot of what you do. I admire that.
i love how, to my memory, TdT is usually showing some decent gameplay. Impressive, but not gobsmackingly mindblowing.
Then we get this. A guy who just had some life breathed into his passion, a rekindled friendship, and we see him absolutely demolishing crucible culminating in a 'we ran'. Ain't no way people can say that "mind over matter" don't work.
Glad you're sticking around.
I'm really glad that you have found joy again. The videos and streams you make for and with us are highlights.
That's awesome. I didn't realize how much I need to hear something so positive today. Thank you so much for sharing.
its nice to see people expressing these feelings, we can all relate to an extent our friends that we have been playing with every day quitting one by one. The other day, my friend who basically taught me everything i know about destiny came baack after 2 years and I love destiny again
Love you too, TDT. So happy I found your channel. I somehow managed to keep loving the game and enjoy playing it for all these years, and I’m glad you are managing to enjoy yourself again :)
So many of us quit… D1 was my LIFE but as time went on I faded when D2 started and I didn’t have that connection. But D2 is coming back around to me now that I’m teaching my little bro about the game. And I feel the same way
heartfelt words from a very kind person. nice to hear
Mad respect, never be afraid to share these emotions. It makes you real, we love you. Never apologize for that, we love real!
I’m so glad i finally get to relive the old moments of using my black armory weapons again.
you killed it mesome. probably my favorite video you’ve put out yet. captures everything I’ve been feeling the last 8 months. such a wild, confusing, beautiful game and I hope it hangs around so more people can realize it too
I like how as the dialogue gets more and more positive and emotional, he starts slaying harder and harder towards the end.
Very beautifully put. I stopped playing D2 around a couple seasons after Witch Queen dropped, and then had no desire to get back into it with the things I heard about Lightfall. With all the great things I see happening, I might actually get back on the D2 train this summer.
Your honest personal insight is more than enough to keep me watching. Thank you
I'm glad you're having more fun. Playing the game, as well as working with the game! 😊
So well said man. I’ve been with Destiny since day 1 of D1 and most of my friends have stepped away or taken long breaks. I was pretty close to finally doing the same, but after the last couple weeks I have changed my tune and friends are starting to come back too. I hope things can continue to go this way. Wish you the best.
Remebering why we play destiny is a part of what keeps destiny alive and kicking. Playing games just for the sake of playing games is nothing more than a timekiller, but games like destiny are ways to make new connections to people, ways to achieve victory over obstacles, and so forth. Those memories keep both us and the games we play driving, and we must never forget that.
That We Ran at the end with Nova Warp was awesome.
Also, mad respect for the John 3:16 dude. Always love your content and thrilled you're sticking around.
A (long) open letter to TDT,
Thank you. I as a Destiny player am in a very strange and specific situation. I'm a relatively new player who joined back in the middle of Season of the Witch (mid September 2023), around that 8 month mark you mentioned.
I'd known about Destiny for a very long time though. My love of it started way back in D1, when as a kid I would watch my father play on his PlayStation. It was the coolest thing I had ever seen, super-soldier space paladins, wizards, and marksmen. The awesome abilities, incredible universe, and iconic characters enraptured me even though I wasn't the one holding the controller.
However, eventually my dad put the game down, for the same reason as many other players, corporate greed poisioning a game he once loved to enjoy by himself, but especially with friends. I wasn't tapped into the community at the time--I was more interested in books than the internet back then--so I didn't really understand. So even though he stopped, the world of Destiny clung to my mind much harder.
Years passed, and my gaming passion grew. I started with a 3Ds XL, eventually moved up to the family console, got a switch when it came out, and eventually got my own gaming laptop when I joined the Overwatch team at my highschool (my love of Overwatch is a similar story for a different day). As I got used to PC gaming more and more I started to connect with people. I managed to get my girlfriend into overwatch, who consequently got her best friend and friend of mine into the game, who then introduced us to her long distance Canadian boyfriend who I'll refer to by his gamertag of "Pug".
Pug and I became close friends really quickly. We loved similar games and just understood each other's vibes. Playing with him was always a great time cause we would either mess around or have some serious conversations I couldn't have with many other people. And it was him who finally made me decide to download Destiny 2. He had played the game forever (since launch of D1 and had thousands of hours total) and while he never really recommended it I, him playing reinvigorated that old interest I had as a kid. He made a new account and showed me the ropes while I was a clueless warlock who didn't even know how armor stats worked, and gosh it was a great time. That journey into the grand universe of Destiny was incredible. I have never gained such a love for a game so quickly. Everything was amazing: gameplay, lore, universe, SOUNDTRACK, all truly awesome. I carry that passion with me to this day because I really do love this game.
Yet, as I got more into Destiny and the community I started to learn about all this bad blood between the playbase and Bungie. All the negativity people had when they played was, honestly, such a turn off from the game. Pug introduced me to his raiding group when we did my first raid (Deep Stone Crypt, I wanted to hear the song in game), and hearing people bash the game felt so wrong. I was fresh, i had new eyes, no experiences of the trenches these players went through that slaughtered their love for the game that I was still carrying.
Eventually the negativity started to get to me. The onslaught (no pun intended) of hate slowly beat down the flames of my passion, and I started to not enjoy the game like I used to. Their hate felt like poison and while I tried to resist it it just kept beating down from everywhere I looked in the community. I hated it, and started to hate how i wasn't liking the game as much as I used to, but I still pressed on. I still found enjoyment playing every day, just taking some breaks now and then cause burnout is a b****. But no matter what I still felt like the lone defender of this, at least as I saw it, amazing game.
But seeing you talk about your reinvigorated passion was inspiring and emotional. I finally saw someone else say positive things about this game, and a content creator none the less! You have honestly thrown some rather large logs onto my fiery love of Destiny, and for that I thank you TDT. You've earned the spot as the best creator in this game, in my opinion, for your sheer humanness and ability to be vulnerable about your emotions. I’ll likely be hopping into streams when I can now (the names e1gran on twitch if you’re curious) so I hope to see you then.
So once again, thank you greatly. Bless your unknown face, and deuces.
It's funny, because one of my best friends I made on Destiny (my brother met him back in early D1, I became friends during mid to late D1) quit because of things like sunsetting. My brother told him of the changes coming, and he surprised us by coming back last night, for the first time since Witch Queen. We had a blast. Regardless of how long he sticks around, I'm loving the fact that he, and probably others, are coming back to the game.
I feel this. I've been having a hard time with a LOT of games as of late, but as soon as a friend gets involved, everything picks up. It feels much more fun, it feels exciting!
It's a shame I've no sunset weapons to fall back on, had some good, fun ones back in the day, but unfortunately, those are gone.
I've been in a similar boat, feeling like I was pulling away from Destiny, was planning on EVENTUALLY getting Final Shape, but now... seeing everything they've done and what's to come, I'm back into it. I'm invested, I'm excited. I'm ready to stick it to the Witness!
May people come together with games for a long time to come, it's a great bond maker for me and I'm sure many others.
i’ve been watching your videos since season of the splicer. you take on the things we see in the game is very unique and important. please keep up the process, and thank you for the consistency.
2:32 that music is pure nostalgia + finding that long lost friend you played with back then just added to it.
if ykyk That music drawled instant tears from me damnit *slaps himself back to man hood*
Thanks for making this video. It's really nice to see someone being genuinely positive about this game, while still acknowledging the less than ideal circumstances the game has found itself in recently.
Destiny means a lot to me, I've been invested in it for 10 years now, I still remember coming across my first video about this game, it was MoreConsole covering the reveal trailer I believe, and I got hooked.
I struggle to articulate just how important Destiny is to me. It's my escapism and my comfort game. I've made friendships that have lasted years through it, and had some truly incredible memories.
I'm just so glad to see community interest peaking again. Some of us never stopped loving Destiny, but those who lost faith weren't in the wrong, they just felt betrayed. But the fact that they are returning now and finding a new reason to love this game again makes me emotional. And I love it.
That was quite ...teary. Made me realise that I've been play since it started and I have not played everything in the game, I am pleased its a part of my world and creators like yourself still feel it as well. Keep it up.. ;-)
I've had similar feelings about the game for a long time, ever since my ps5 broke back in November, I've honestly been looking back at the memories I've made throughout my time, I miss those friends I've made in this game, I am hopeful I'll return someday soon 😇
I’m still on my 10 year old PS4 😂
Glad to hear your thoughts. Makes me want to launch the game again. It's one of those game i never really left, still come back... until the last expansion. It's been nearly 6 months maybe more since i've played. I am struggling to came back on it, but it seems like a good time to try when i hear everyone.
Similar thing happened with me!
Two of my friends who haven't played D2 since shadowkeep and beyond light, have returned to D2!
Hey man, just wanted to say that I suffer from really severe depression and other mental problems. Your videos, your passion you put into your content, it truly helps me, it makes me smile and keeps me out of a dark place. I know that I’m nobody, but I just wanted to say thank you for what you do and giving some of us a way to smile each day and not suffer as much. God bless you dude truly!
Thank you for this it reminded just why I play this game and can't wait to play with friends again
This community you’ve built -judging off comments alone - seems genuinely fantastic to me. You’ve done great man, keep pushing :)
The D2 music swelling as he said "former glory" really does make me miss the wonder D1 had with it's unexplained mysteries and that I think has been missing from D2. I hope TFS will be a return to form, especially for all the folks who started with D2 and never experienced that same vibe.
So happy you plan to stick around❤
Man I felt this in my soul, it’s as analogous to my own relationships outside of Destiny as it is to those within. Like. WOW.
I'm pretty sure I've said this before. I will follow your content wherever you go. I've seen other comments that have said the same before. I'm looking forward to the next chapter in D2. Remember guardian. Keep your feet up.
Playing Destiny with a friend is the best thing to do. For example, my brother and I spend well over an hour throwing us down the cliffs on europa. Best time of my time in Destiny.😅
Your content has always been a happy spot to watch a game I had actually left a few months ago likely wasn’t going to return to myself but I thought for the years I’ve played this franchise while my friends have all but left this game behind I’ll give it one more go and the builds and entertainment I got from all you’ve done has always made me happy to continue and enjoy a game that I’ve played since 2015 to now. From me to you keep up the great work and always keep a smile on your face Dueces
I honestly was going to give up on the game too, I felt the same way and seeing someone else say the same thing is nice to hear
Ive actually been waiting for this video...for a long, long time.
looking forward to diving back into Destiny.
I'm not a content creator, but Destiny and by extension Destiny 2 has been a massive part of my life, it, quite literally, has saved my life on a number of occasions, seeing this recent string of insanely negative things coming from Bungie has hurt to watch, and now, seeing all the positive changes they've been both adding (Into the Light) and change (retiring sunsetting) has renewed my love of Destiny, and reinvigorated my drive to play.
Can i just say that my respect for you as a creator is alwayss increasing? The fact that you are willing to bear your all in this platform and be honest about how you feel and where your head is it shows a level of care i will forever hold in very high regard ❤
I'm not a content creator, I'm just a married dude in his late 40s that basically FEELS THE SAME WAY AS YOU! I love it! I've always enjoyed your videos and give them at least a like and a view, your hard work is evident.
I took a 4 month break, first time since D1 beta .. and I've been hitting D2 hard the last few weeks and yes, it does feel fresh and I know it's NOT just I took the break!
Hoping Bungie keeps up the good work!
I'm a destiny beta player, and I feel you on this. I have made life long friends because of this game and have countless memories of doing raids and being in a clan, staying up to obsurd hours through the night, on into the morning be cause "One Last Run!" Even through all the bad stuff bungie had done, I have been invested in this game and Had to see it through. Sadly I am the only one to still play im my clan because of the greediness, and I can't leave my clan cause I am the unofficail clan leader (it was named after my charactor). That and I happen to be very sentimental about it. But with The Final Shape, I am so excited to play and see what happens for Destiny, and with LFG being a thing, I may be making more friends and/or rivels. It's all very exciting!
Your lucky your buddy came back to play. I returned a year ago back into game after a 3 year hiatus, wish my buds would return still hoping but for now I'm just enjoying the past years content and what's next too. Cheers bud! I'll sub.
You spoke for a lot of us here brother. Destiny has got me so excited I’m even thinking of making my own content. Kinda late but idc but I feel energized
if this all goes well this is gonna be one of the best video game comebacks of all time
I am glad to see you have been given a renewed motivation to do destiny things bc I love destiny and your videos.
@TDT, i might not be on ppl streams but i do love seeing real content that care about their channel or whatever. THIS channel makes great content and i can see you guys care about the content. KEEP UP THE WORK!!!!
It's real wonderful to see you happy TDT, i'm glad to see that electro is around again. Heck, you should invite him to a video sometime maybe! I bet the two of you would have a ton of fun with critmagnet lol. But again, cheers to you man, and heres to many good days to come.
I’m coming back to this game in a week as I’m at college right now. I’m pumped to hear that a game that sucked me in to the point of near addiction is that magical again.
The first few minutes of this video I was like “this guy has lost it”… then he went on, and he’s right, it feels good to have that old Destiny feeling back and well Guardians, I look forward to the future. Here’s to you 🍻
Honestly I'm new to this Chanel but this is nice to hear. I'm glad that others are starting to pick destiny up again, me my brother and my dad used to play all the time together but it just got too expensive. Then we got back in to it and it is fun again.
Tdt; your words ring true. I felt similarly. I'm looking forward to that feeling again of this game being something I'm excited to get on when I get home.
... and I'll join your clan if you need more friends, lol.
Friends can always bring us back to the light (heh) in our darkest moments. I’m glad you’re feeling better about the future of Destiny, Mesome.
Weeks ago, I was begging one of my friends to get on for the new update. Today, I don’t even have to ask him. Because everyone else got back on too. If they land the Final Shape- oh boy.
Ever since I joined TDT 3 years ago, my life went on an entirely different route. Getting into Destiny and TDT has been the greatest gift in my life, and I’m happy to share a ton of fond memories with you and everyone else. ❤
Glad that your still sticking around, due to a friend. Now I have never had a friend say lets play, hell to be honest to me this is not a game that makes you any friends, at least to my experience, or have a actually friend to play this game with. But glad your still sticking around.
You got my like bro i feel ya tbh i was getting bored to but after seeing all the new stuff coming i cant help but prep for it
Caught the verse at the end. Blessings bro
Mesome, for what it's worth, you're by far my favorite destiny content creator on youtube, as well as the player I've studied the most to learn and master blinklock. I'd love to see what you'd do with other subject matter. I'm glad you're feeling the same way I am about the game. I was there for the D1 beta and lately it hasn't felt like "I'm just slogging through until Final Shape and then I'm out" to justify the years I've put into this franchise. Lately, I've been looking forward to playing, to getting fresh new rolls and looking forward to breaking out my some of my old ones.
Hope to run into you in the crucible one day.
That music takes me back to the first time I played this 10 years ago just so crazy its been that long playing this game
Last night I was playing legend onslaught with 2 of my oldest online friends who I met during Season of Arrivals. Talking smack, making builds, strategizing for bosses; it’s nice to see how far we’ve come, and I can’t wait to play The Final Shape with them.
Dude I cried, I felt so much nostalgia from your words, almost like the first time i heard hope from the future from Paul McCartney
I'm glad you had that moment of realization. Ive had that a couple times, its a nice feeling to see something more profound manifest out of the fog of what's happened the past few years. I'm glad some people havent been irreversibly impacted by all this stuff, and I hope the only people who stay and return are doing it out of fun and not the nasty cycle that developed over the past years.
I'll still play when and if I find it fun, but I haven't shaken the ick I get from the televangelist vibe of paying for a hope of something better as opposed to something that IS simply better, no hidden strings.
Just wanted to say that I watch your content because I love your humor, your sincerity and what I see as love of the game. I’m so glad that Bungie appears to really be turning things around. I truly am very excited for final shape and beyond and it is pleasure to see that you feel the same!
I feel you, the end of last year I barely touched destiny and was just going to play final shape to see how the story ended, but with onslaught I have started having fun again.
Brother, you are not alone. Some feel like this too. It's whenever hope is attached to something that's "big" in your live. It's because we care.
Wholesome content ❤ thank you
Same sentiment exactly, I even bought another xbox today and I've got my wife playing. Excited for what's next
TDT honestly u touched my heart man... i- i didn't have many friends to play with back in the day... but.. ill maybe get to share those old memories with new friends... if i make any 😭😭😭😭😭
Hopped to the tower this evening,
Haven’t seen so many guardians for about a year.
