    I don’t think TDB was bad, but time hasn’t been the kindest to it. We’ve had $10 seasons that have had more content than TDB (Opulence is the first that comes to mind).
  • @da_chief1492
    The one thing that has stayed constant across my destiny career is the phrase "crotating" for weird boss movement
  • Eye-doe-lon is how Eidolon is pronounced, and it's ally, not alley, as in a friend.
  • @samkoch1038
    All memes aside, I genuinely think Bungie should reprise Crota’s End as a dungeon.
  • This darkness and horror aspect is whats needed for Destiny 2.
    bring back the horror.
  • @retro9334
    You should do this for each expansion and combine the seasonal stuff together and comment on community sentiment at the time and what not
  • @howtonot580
    I've just realized what I've missed so much about destiny, it's the not knowing how to get stuff, like seeing a new path in a strike and finding out about black spindle or turning in a bounty and getting 3 to choose from and you don't know what you'll get and you don't know what's left to find and that kept the game fresh for me for years
  • @bonefat21
    I really miss the little teasers we used to get in the live game about the coming content. Shortly before The Dark Below came out, we saw those groups of Hive spawning in the live game that had the chance to drop Husk of the Pit, which you would eventually need for the raid exotic. We saw something similar before House of Wolves, but then they stopped. The only other one of these I can remember is the spawns before Black Armory that could drop the refurbished Black Armory versions that had glitched perk drops like double rampage.
  • @rexwer8723
    I remember we did flawless raider 2-man on Crota. Me and my friends John were not sure that our other friends will not die for entire raid, so we did 2-man flawless. I will forever remember that bridge skip with striker titan from the top of the tower)
  • I was still blown away by the concept of Destiny, so The Dark Below took that further for me.
    I’ll always have good memories about Crota’s End.
    I did it before I did VOG so it’s a bit special to me.
  • Remember Crota is in the raid because to fully kill a powerful hive you have to kill them in their throne world.
  • @drewpage2978
    Ngl, when you show that clip of farming Draksis for exotics by killing yourself I felt an uber wave of nostalgia remember when that first came out. I also remember farming Omnigul in that little room for a fuckload of Grasp of Malocks. Those were indeed the days of magic.
  • @MaoPinzon
    TDB is when I came into the game and Crota's end gave me my flawless raider by doing it solo. I have very good memories of this DLC
  • I honestly loved Dark Below. The Raid was great, the exotics were great, the crucible maps were excellent, and this was just the start of more to come. House of Wolves is imo one of the best expansions we ever got in Destinys history.
  • We got way more crucible maps in a DLC than we do with a big release nowadays
  • Man, i miss these times. Getting home from school and grinding destiny vanilla all day long. Legendary
  • @juggernick8
    Love the videos man! For any future ones referencing guns and that, the dark below gun the husk of the pit turns into is eidolon ally with eidolon being Ancient Greek for spirit/ghost/ image of a dead person, ally being normal language for a friend so it’s supposed to be a ghost on your side 👍 not a Harry Potter reference
  • Your videos are really high effort. You're one of my favorite D2 content creators
