  • Season 23 is the last season in Destiny 2 as we will soon be moving to a different live service format in episodes. Which means I'm not gonna have to remake a tier list down the road for this and we can probably just make the call here.

    I remember when this game first launched 7 years ago and Datto made his initial review, he recalled the EXACT same concern of him telling TimTheTatMan that the best way to level up was with public events... And him saying that same story today when reviewing season 1 just hit me with nostalgia. Never change, Datto.

    I started in Arrivals and honestly it was the best for me. It had the most content, plus it was the last season before everything got sunset
    *EDIT:*
    Since people aren't understanding, I started playing D2 in Season of Arrivals as it was on the xbox gamepass at the time. I had the experience to play every single piece of now sunset content. All the old DLC, all the old content. I do miss the exotic missions, and campaign missions on Titan. And honestly Curse of Osiris wasn't bad; especially fighting Panoptes. The one strike that had the giant cyclops was good too. Hell, getting to enjoy Black Armoury was great too, still have some of my BA weapons in the vault.
    The menagerie was the best activity to play, Gambit had Reckoning and Gambit Prime (I miss prime) and most importantly I had the option to get Bad Juju and Sagira's Shell legitimately through their associated quests.
    All in all, as a player who started on the Gamepass; I had a LOT of content to enjoy

    I think Black Armory should be A and I get that the activity wasn't anything crazy and it was very bare bones but we had Scourge, Niobe labs, some of the most iconic legendary weapons ever and also some of the most iconic exotics ever. Izanagi's, Le monarque, Anarchy, Jotunn, Last word. I personally also liked the difficulty in the day one volundr forge, though I understand that I am in the minority. It was marketed as an extension to the endgame so I was expecting that difficulty to be honest.

    59:06 the only good thing about the entire Shadowkeep “expansion” Was the final cutscene where we talked to our mirror selves. The final mission was neat with the flashback enemies and nightmare fights inside the pyramid ship. That’s it though.
    I totally agree with Datto that we didn’t get true great expansions/campaigns until we got Witch Queen. Before then campaigns were always full of busy work… with just as many patrol zone activities as actual missions.
    Witch Queen campaign was really amazing for many reasons but mainly because we had a great story we pushed through mission after mission until the end… without constant breaks to do random open world stuff.
    Lightfall Campaign had some shortcomings story wise. It should not have focused on gaining Strand as 90% of the campaign… however even Lightfall compared to old campaigns were much better because we still had unique fun, challenging (on legend) missions that were all actual story missions and wasn’t full of busy work.
    From the info we have about Final Shape… it looks like Bungie took all the feedback regarding old campaigns and especially the issues with Lightfall to create a great final campaign. For example… we are fully unlocking the Prismatic Subclass during the first mission (versus just before the final mission in Lightfall). We start with a strong prismatic kit with a good variety of options to experiment with and enjoy throughout the campaign, versus only really enjoying post campaign. We do unlock more options to add to our Prismatic subclassses exploring the Pale Heart and as campaign mission rewards… but when looking at the chart we were shown we start off with a truly large portion of fragments, aspects, supers, abilities to mix and match and unlock the smaller remainder as we go through the campaign. I believe this choice has to have been as a result of the huge backlash Bungie got for focusing so heavily on unlocking Stand during the Lightfall… instead of on the actual story (conflict/enemies) like they did properly in Witch Queen. I really do have high hopes for the Final Shape campaign as a result!

    Glad to see some respect put on The Taken King. I know a lot of people argue it's nowhere near Forsaken, which I disagree with. Maybe I can get on board with "Forsaken is better", but it's still close for me. Both expansions dropped at a time where Bungie's back was against the wall and they had to prove to players that Destiny was still worth sticking with. And they both did, but I think it mattered even more for TTK. If TTK did not knock it out of the park the way it did, we never would've even made it to Forsaken. I genuinely think the franchise was doomed if TTK didn't perform. I'm sure you could argue it was the same case with Forsaken too, again I just personally felt the stakes were higher with TTK.
    The Final Shape is in a very similar situation as those two expansion were, where Bungie needs to prove with it that this game is still worth playing and that they're not done yet. I know sentiment is extremely low right now and faith in Bungie is borderline non-existent, but I do think TFS will be at least A tier when it's all said and done. I think the problem is that for many people, that will be too low.

    I think I’m biased when it comes to to the beyond light year. I came back from a 2 year destiny break so everything was fresh but I also think weapon sunsetting also played a role. It made me excited for every single weapon that came out every season compared to now.

      I think it's more that they've put lipstick on the pig for most people. Recent seasonal activities may be the best they've ever been, but I think a lot of people are less tired and more fed up with the core gameplay loops of Destiny 2 not being well thought out and/or rewarding.
      That's not to say you shouldn't enjoy the game, but I don't think it's accurate to say people are just tired and want to complain.

    I loved Arrivals so much i actually went for the seasonal title which i never did, but i remember having to take a break mid season and missing out on the title because i never played the second mission in the cycle and when i came back at the end it had been replaced by the final mission.
    Splicer easy top tier as well
    for me haunted is top tier too, as a warlock void and arc 3.0 were kinda meh when they dropped but solar was incredible, plus i played the shit out of duality and i LOVED the corrupted leviathan, the story, i liked the menagerie weapons coming back, and i did actually go for the title for this season

    Regarding Season of Plunder, the Treasure Trawler activity was a big bummer, but Ketch Crash was just Fallen Ketch Menagerie, and I felt it was good for what it was. Some of the objectives were a little mid, but it was fun being a space pirate, tearing through an enemy ketch.

    The thing about Warmind is they started bettering the sandbox by a lot. They buffed a lot of exotic weapons, mostly bringing graviton lance, sunshot, and risk runner closer to where they are today. They also buffed exotics, my favorite example is sunbracers. Sunbracers used to be better grenade and melee kill gives you grenade. They decreased ability cooldowns, increased super charge rate and ability damage. When we were limited to 2 primaries, it was nice to finally be able to use ability builds which weren't viable before due to long cooldowns and low damage.

    The first two years was the transition period from a micro expansion dlc format to an overall solid main and 4 storyline experience format. Between labs and the absolutely solid raids as the base is already solid. Menagerie is an outlier since all of the weapons are solid to this day and austringer is my second or third most used pvp weapon to this day. Imo there's no bad seasonal story and the activities are less about the activity and more about the loot.

    I really think Seraph deserves A or S tier. the seasonal activity gave you a mini entry into deep stone crypt. and let you experience it. it gave us our first exotic with changing catalysts. and the story was emotional and super gripping. We got a deeper interaction with clovis bray and golden age technology's lore. I think season of plunder is a season everyone loves to hate. I simply just didnt interact with it but in retrospect. A bringing back of Eramis and battle across the shore was interesting. It's easily overshadowed by the other two seasons. Season of the Haunted was carried by the story as well. to an easy A tier rating. We were given a chance (through an interesting seasonal activity.) to relate to and understand the backstory of various characters including the crow dealing with who he used to be as Uldren Sov. Caital as sister to Dominus Ghaul. And Zavala's regret with his wife.

    I would put The Taken King campaign over Forsaken. The Taken King involved so much more of the world of Destiny compared to the Forsaken, which was basically just players running around the Tangled Shore where as in the Taken King we were going to The Cosmodrome, Mars and the Dreadnaught and including all of the Vanguard, Amanda Holiday and Eris with some cheeky involvement with the Reef and the constant back and forth we were doing with Oryx.

    Man I love Destiny, the amount of memories I have playing this game over the years is insane. Easily 7k+ hours in D1, without even really playing Rise of Iron at all, but only around 2k in D2 because I just couldn't enjoy it as much. That isn't to say that the game is bad, its had its ups and downs. It's just the sheer amount of Destiny that I've played has definitely caused me to grow tired of it after a while. I will more than likely be playing The Final Shape. I want closure to this 10 year journey we've been on. But beyond that, I feel like the game will need to change quite a bit, an evolution if you will, to get me to continue playing. It'll be emotional, as I'm sure can be said for most of us here, to see it end. I'm not gonna say I'm disinterested to see where they go after TFS. As I said, there will need to be big changes for me to continue playing, but if those things do happen, and the over arching story after TFS is good, I could see myself dabbling from time to time.
