With the recent news that Destiny 2 is set to stop receiving content updates after the final live service update on June 9th, I was overwhelmed with a general sense of 'is this it?'
And it seems that hundreds of thousands of fellow Guardians feel the same way. In just two weeks, a petition asking Sony to work on a Destiny 3, has surpassed over 350 THOUSAND signatures. A greater effort has now been planned for everyone, new and old, to log on to the game on June 9th and show their appreciation to Bungie.
So, Why Am I Logging On?
If I could, I'd love to tell you a short story.
As someone who first joined the Destiny community shortly after Taken King in 2015, I quite frankly, had no idea what Destiny was. I missed the boat on this game, and the very concept of what to do when I first loaded in to the Tower, was foreign to me.
No matter how many Sherpas were kind enough to get me Black Spindle, or help me experience my first Strike for an opportunity at the Imago Loop.. It meant... Nothing.
Hopefully what you take away from this, is that there was nothing that stuck out to me in Destiny 1, but one thing. The Community.
When Destiny 2 was announced, despite me still not really 'getting' what Destiny was, I knew that I had a desire to just be there for this one. It was important to me, as I felt the entire reason for me having the experience I did on D1, was simply because I missed the party.
So as I promised myself, I did hop in on day 1. I suffered through token farming, I spoke to Devrim Kay, and I looked out for the hidden monster on Titan.
Most important of all however, I also became a raider.
Leviathan is a divisive raid no doubt, but it's where I met some amazing friends, and made even more amazing memories. I would eventually carry my love for raids over to Youtube, with guides that would launch my career.
And despite me being fully checked out on Destiny 2 after they added the crafting system in Witch Queen, I can't check out on those memories. They're core parts of my career that truly mean something to both me and my friends.
This, is why I feel as though IMust hop in on June 9th, and show my support.
What Is There To Do?
Bungie have made it clear that if this is the final time in an uncertain future for this beloved franchise, they aren't going quietly. A whopping 71 Pages of patch notes ahead of the Moment Of Triumph update on June 9th has fans extremely excited.
From revised raid bosses like Calus himself, or the return of everyone's favorite passtime SRL: Sparrow Racing League - It looks like it's gonna be a great time.
I won't sit here and lie to you, claiming that this will be the update to pull me back in fully, or even that I'll take the time to check out everything within the gigantic update. What I wil promise you however, is that I will sit in The Tower, and watch over the city one final time.
I may also check Eververse, too ;)
