      I actually started playing on August 06, 2020, during Arrivals. Solstice of Heroes was the first thing I really did. I wear the Solstice 2020 white glow 24/7 on my Titan, which you can probably tell from my profile picture.
      My first exotic was Hard Light, which is still one of my favorites despite being a shell of its former self. Witherhoard was a banger and is my second favorite. I loved Contact as a seasonal activity, and my favorite destination was Io. I miss all of it so much.

    Cross has memory-holed so much of the past; especially with Joker's Wild. It was not disliked because of Gambit Prime. It was hated because to even be able to enjoy Gambit Prime at its fullest, you needed the armor which came from Reckoning which was heavily disliked. The armor took weeks to grind for since you had to farm Gambit to get resources to make your motes for Reckoning, then you had to pray to the RNG gods to get the armor piece you needed with ok stats/perks. Then you had to complete the weekly quest for the helmet to be able to move onto the next tier of armor. Then after all that again, you were finally allowed to go for the tier 3 version of the armor that allowed you to run an exotic and pop a coin to be allowed to use the full armor set effect. Then and only then after enough people who were dedicated to getting the armor started stacking in Gambit Prime, did you find the other problem that the balance was horrible when it was a stacked team vs an unstacked team for armors. Big blockers from Runners (which everyone wanted to run since it was how you got random drops from the mote deposits for Dire Promise), Invader with overshields that made them into a raid boss, Sentry that always had heavy to Hammerhead you down that moment you spawned in, and a good Reaper left everything dead in about 5 seconds flat just by running Riskrunner.
    Reckoning itself became a bigger problem as finding a team through matchmaking was an absolute cancer. You'd get people who would AFK and just wanted others to do whole thing for them so they could AFK farm guns. You could have a great group going, but one person gets physics and then you'd have a rage quitter because someone simply died. It was also the event that lead to Bungie to start focusing on nerfing various exotics like Orpheus Rigs and making enemies that would unfairly kill you (like Ogres on Reckoning bridge) more common because they needed to address how stupidly strong we were and didn't want to lean to heavily into nerfs to avoid angering the community. Still, after Opulence, they went ahead with a lot of the nerfs they had planned anyway because we were still to strong after small tweaks here and there and even admitted in TWAB a lot of nerf plans were started back in Joker's Wild because of Reckoning.
    Honestly, Gambit Prime was great until they introduced Truth to the scene and then it just became cancerous and no one wanted to play cause it was always going to be who got their Truth rocket off first... I used to love Gambit. Why you break the game so bad, Bungie? Why did you have to ruin something that was so great?!

    I have so much nostalgia for Season of Arrivals. I started playing in the middle of Worthy (kind of a good time bc there was literally nothing to catch up on except for Heir Apparent) and it was when I was in a rough patch in life, and there was so much to do in Arrivals and so much I had left to discover that everything was so exciting, and the hype for Beyond Light (even if it was slightly disappointing) kept me going, and gave me an escape and something to look forward to every day. Arrivals was the best time I ever had playing the game, and I wish I could relive that. Witch Queen/Risen sort of came close with the campaign and all the content, but it wasn’t quite the same. I’m hoping that Lightfall gives us a similar sense of discovery, because that would be a great way to shake things up for the end of the saga.

    @hiddenalignment6425 Před rokem +92

    I honestly think Season of the Drifter is underrated. Yeah, it was Gambit centric, but it gave us the best version of Gambit to date, with roles that emphasized team play, set bonuses, good loot, new maps, Primevals and features. It was when Bungie took time to make Gambit a proper entry into the core playlist, which was great, until they gutted it in Beyond Light.
    The lore and narrative were amazing, too. It was great learning more about the Nine and Emissary through the Invitations, and working with Drifter through the loyalty quests and hearing his recordings about the Dark Age. He gave us a different perspective on the Vanguard, Guardians, the Light and humanity as a whole.
    My main complaint was with Reckoning. I didn’t like that you had to play a completely separate mode to get stuff for Prime. It was also ridiculous that there were 3 different armor sets for the exact same role, and you only got 1 piece if you completed it. Also, that bridge level was just annoying.
    Bungie really needs to bring Prime back. We need an endgame Gambit mode and more support for Gambit than just a single update a year.

      The lore in season of the drifter was a mixed bag. We got confirmation of the Nine being the nine traditional planets of the solar system. I'd figured it out before that point but there wasn't much in the way of hard proof. But on the downside we got the hive bullet clusterfuck that bungie for whatever reason still hasn't retconned. So we've got loads of people that think Ghosts are indestructible all because one writer didn't know how Thorn worked.

      Maybe they could revamp the loot pool and have it give higher stat armor, multi-perk weapons, increased loot drops and a bigger chance of getting exotics depending on the Tier you complete. Add gear from previous seasons, or from Trials of the Nine in the pool that rotate every week and use the bank to focus what you want.

    I think what Season of Arrivals did, floating pyramids above certain planets... it really made the entire solar system feel threatened. Add to it the mystery of what the pyramid fleet was and it was a cool season. I look back on Witch Queen and the Psi Ops missions and I wish those Throne World melds into the EDZ, Cosmodrome, and Moon stuck around. Season of the Splicer sort of did this, except it was limited to the Last City. Stuff that leaves its mark on the world should stay longer. Let the scars and memories linger a little. Except for that broken piece of wall near Zavala, that should've been fixed ages ago.

    Personally, I think of things like random rolls, special weapons, and gambit as being as shipping at the same time rather than being part of the season. I think to qualify as seasonal content, it has to be something that was originally paid. Though it still was quite good even with those things in mind, I think Forsaken is seen with rose-tinted lenses because of just how many things started at the same time rather than the expansion itself.

      Forsaken was the beginning of the original downfall it brought upon insanely stupid power creep and introduced most of the most hated features in the game today yet tons of people think it was the best. it absolutely divided the community and drove away a large chunk of the original player base a lot of which still have yet to come back to this day

      I really liked Season of the Lost, I heavily enjoyed exploring the ascendant realm trying to find all of the secrets without looking at any guides, but the 30th Anniversary is what makes it S tier for me, I'd been begging for Halo guns since the franchise started, having the iconic Gjallarhorn come back was cool, the dungeon was really fun, and DoE is easily one of my favorite 6 man matchmade activities ever made, I grinded the absolute hell out of it before WQ came out to try and get multiple BXR god rolls, and I was only able to do that because of how much I enjoyed the activity. Getting infinite heavy was so fun, it encouraged me to mess around with heavies I hadn't touched since they came out, and the powerups were a fun little addition, these two things really helped make the activity enjoyable even on my 200th run, outside of Menagerie I've never grinded a 6 man matchmade activity so hard in the entire franchise, the BXR, Other Half/Half Truths, and Forerunner were a big factor, but the activity itself was really enjoyable.
      Another reason I loved it so much is because as a big PvP guy, 30th Anniversary was EASILY one of the best sandboxes we've ever had, damn I miss it...

    I think season of the dawn was an S-tier season personally. It was the first time we had a season activity that we upgraded out "season vendor" at, and unlocked new things as we upgraded. The weapons themselves were some of the very best weapons destiny has ever had, and the story itself was great. Traveling through the past in search of Saint, and finally doing those special missions where we find him and save Saint from his death was amazing. Plus the corridors of time stuff was great, and the community event where we had to create and decode that image to figure out the pathways through the corridors of time to reach various places like our own tomb and stuff like that. Even the season activity where we went through to the 3 different locations wasnt so bad, and if the worst part of the season was a "not so bad" that already puts it higher than most other seasons. But with all the good parts, definitely S tier for the story, side activity (corridors) and weapons.
