This one took me a long time to put together so thank you so much for watching it! If you want to skip through, there are time stamps in the description to click and all credits are in the description as well! Thank you for being you, we’re almost at 15k subs ❤️
amazing video. So uh 2 things, 1 do you have a specific playlist for the songs you use ( destiny songs) or do you pick them at random. 2nd thing is that this was very nice to listen to as i started in november of last year and missed the start of forsaken ( i have watched around 7 of the 18 hours that sweat and his team did on last wish)
Same. I said to myself "I'm gonna sleep now and will rewatch the stream tommorow." When i woke up they were just done with the encounter i fell asleep at.
Yup I was switching between his stream and Goth’s all night, falling asleep in bed and waking up to pee in the middle of the night to see people still raiding was a unique experience!
At the end of the race, I was so shocked. It was a miracle. On the day of the raid I log on and the entire dreaming citys cursed, The soundtrack of 6 guardians rushing through the halls of the watchtower, only to unveil something darker. I loved the soundtrack too it perfectly matches the character of this raid. Bungie did a fantastic job, it caused a knock on and we still have a missing wish to be found.
Best raid. I'll never forget the degenerate grinding my clan did. We brought Not Forgotten into the launch of Last Wish, and it actually mattered on DPS. I've never been so sleep deprived in my life. Great memories made. Would do again. Major props to every team that succeeded. I hope this kind of difficulty will be the standard in future raid creation.
I tripped out a little when you pointed out that the other "realm" was actually the inside of the heart and that you could literally see the holder's hands
Honestly I more so remember Datto’s close cut and rejection of a rule bend to give his team the 24 hour emblem. Especially when his team was the only contender to actually figure out the Vault. That was the most memorable part of this raid race for me. Poor Math Class deserves a World’s First at this point with how dedicated they are.
@@jacksmith6944 datto himself doesn't but the precursor clan of maths class that he was apart of does. The clan I'm talking about is primeguard just incase your not aware
Honestly cant wait to see what is coming after the raid though, the 12 man is cool, but I want to find secrets and hidden bosses like in Forsaken. This expansion is top notch.
@@adjcsee4476 Definetly not VOG remember how everyone had blue gear in that raid because of Rahool? Sure it was one of the best raids but at the time it launched it was very frustrating
Fear The Reaper last wish topped all of them, I’m a y1 vet, last wish without the cheese is the most challenging raid, on top of that, after the raid was completed it changed EVERYTHING. No raid even comes CLOSE, not even vog or wrath (I was never a fan of Kong’s fall)
@@drosdraven9 so am I. Don't really see how it makes much of a difference. The whole "pinnacle time to be in Destiny" seems exaggerated. Sure on basis of what happened after the raid changed a lot of the Dreaming City. Your forgetting that raids are meant to be fun and challenging, not a pain in the ass. Hell, Leviathan was fun and challenging. It had interesting mechanics. The only downfall was Calus bugging out. I don't see how every raid needs to be all about mechanics and less about enjoying it.
SmokeSky TV Challenging raid ever ? I don’t know about that one cause lw nowadays is literally easy as fuck you can one phase literally ever boss and the mechanics aren’t that difficult
"There were also prime engrams which gave you a decent chunk of power, but it was entirely random what you got, so five helmets in a row was very common" What is this "helmet" you speak of? Prime Engrams only ever contained Edge Transits
This, and TTK, are my favorite raids in Destiny, and honestly speaking... the only type of raid I get really hyped for. The type I'm talking about is the long, epic-scale kind of raid with a huge boss at the end.
I agree, but I'm worried no raid will live up to those 2 ever again. After all, one of the main reasons they could make such huge raids and dlc's was because of activisions financial help. With them gone, while the game may be better in general as theres not as much of the money grabbing activision pulled, theres also nowhere near as much budget being put into it. Witch queen looks pretty promising but I'm mainly looking forward to the story and lore behind it, I don't think there will ever be dlc's or raids on the magnitude of taken king and forsaken anymore. As sad as that is I believe bungie are doing a good job on their own
@@Rule_163 I mean, the extra 3-4 ish months they’re taking to work on it gives me a lot of hope. I get that they weren’t able to work as efficiently as before due to covid, but I’m still confident this will be a ttk/forsaken size dlc overall with the extra time they have. Season 15 will get very stale, even with the December dungeon adding a bit more content, but I think it’ll be worth it!
Deep Stone may have been significantly shorter than KF or LW, but the "production quality" of the raid was much higher. Stuff like seeing Europa in the background as you crash the morningstar, going up and down from Europa to the planet and the final arena being created from you crashing the Morningstar into the entrance of the dungeon gave the whole raid a sense of progression and effect that no other raid really had. I mean, our actions in the raid directly created both the final boss and it's arena. If they take that kind of design principle into a larger scale raid then Witch Queen could totally give us a contender for best raid.
Edan Wheatley well, as Taken king was the start of the new era of destiny (year 2 onwards) which has ultimately led to what destiny 2 is now, I’d personally hold Taken king in a higher regard
The music for this raid was also AMAZING, this was easily the greatest raid in the history of destiny. Taken King takes a close second, but jeez it's amazing
Wrath of the machine is still my favourite raid of all time. It was one of the only raids that i did a lot and never got bored of it, and I met so many people through that raid that im still friends with today. All of the encounters were enjoyable and the armour sets were beautiful. Just an overall good raid
It’s the one of the best on my list. One of the first raids I got into when I came back to the game. Started in a new clan, met lots of new people, and actually sherpad the raid many many times.
Wrath is still my favorite raid of all time, even after i already had everything from the raid and had done the SIVA puzzle like a billion times i kept playing it, i got so good at it too
I don’t know how many other noticed but the Queens Walk is just like the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2, a nice nod to arguably the best single player mission in a game.
Aksis is still my favorite. I love the entrance, the arena itself, and the mechanics based around empowering and coordinating attacks with scorch cannons and SIVA balls.
I'm a true blue vault of glass fan :P axsis was meh for me also if you like player coordination then riven should be up there for you, that encounter is just coordination and ad clear it's actually pretty easy buuuuuut ya always have that ONE guy that doesn't want to learn legit in yer team
Erragouth18 I never got outbreak because after all the work we did for the quest through the whole raid, we were having trouble at Aksis, and because me and my friend weren’t good friends with their group they kicked us for people they knew to join, and they got it without us
You know when you think Bungie can't beat the Taken King expansion, they come around the corner with Forsaken and slap that in your face HARD. I just love how beautiful the enviroments are, just HOW MUCH the expansion explored different parts of the universe so well in the Lore and how amazing that Raid was designed. Boss battle after boss battle with a chunky puzzle in front of the final boss. Often you would have a puzzle early on to ease you into the raid, but not this time. This time the puzzle is the hardest part that a year later is still quiet a mess in some LFG groups, because lets be honest. Some of us out here always picked ad control and let the smarty pants do the puzzle, lmao. This raid was a fontain of creativity in every aspect. Shuro Chi was running from you and you had to chase her, Morgeth was a race of speed as well in their own right, Riven complex and when killed wouldn't even be the final encounter. The Queenswalk is by far the coolest ending to a raid ever. You Literally deepthroat yourself into a freaking dragon to get its hard and then carry it around while a horde of Taken are attacking your team. The heart pulling the bearer into its insides where you have to fend of against another horde of Taken. Like if you explained this to someone that hasn't seen this before, they just have to be hyped up to 11 just from hearing how crazy this sounds. And then when the raid is over, the narrative continues. New content unlocks. Even harder stuff is revealed to be done, new quests and narrative wise, the slayers of Riven are now cursed with Riven being in their mind. That's something I *want* to be continued on for more storywise. I want Riven to be that second voice next to Ghost that just keeps talking, because she will talk when you do stuff like Shattered Throne. There's just so much greatness in this. I think Forsaken has set the bar for Destiny expansions really on a new height. I don't know when Bungie will be able to ste the bar higher, but I can't wait to see that happen.
Shuro Chi is one of my favorite encounters, I love how it feels like a 1000 miles a minute & how fast you have to be. Final boss of GoS is also a lot of fun.
Im an old Destiny player back from D1 beta and I'll never forget going into VoG not having any clue how to complete it. Took about 8 hours after finally watching some videos of people who had previously completed it.
Morgeth in this raid is my favorite... but the reason is what happened during it. I LFGed into a team where I was the only one that knew the mechanic... hard enough... it also half the team couldn’t hear other team and vise versa. Whoever two players would join the party chat or game chat they could not hear or be heard by the other three and vise versa. But I (for some reason) was able to go into each other’s chats and be heard. I coordinated and explained the entire encounter tot hem under these conditions and managed to finish the encounter after 2-3 hours. I got the Curated Nation of Beasts and I immoderately put a shader on it so I wouldn’t lose it.
I really love these in-depth videos of unique occurrences like this! As a new light player, they give a lot of context to things I otherwise wouldn't even know about. They are also very insightful, I hope to see more, good luck on your success!
Welcome to Destiny, where the raids have an equal chance of being either this insane or simply a slightly more complex strike *cough scourgeofthepast and eaterofworlds cough*. If you haven't, get into the raiding community. Tons of fun, tons of late nights, tons of memories.
@@joshuavidrine889 have done garden and levithan and a few others they are really fun! Can't wait to do the reset of them and the future one when it comes out!
Its not really hard cause the puzzle is very easy thanks to guides. Only somewhat hard part is to remember the names of the symbols but eh, they are easy to remember after your first try. Lit third phase music though.
The cello solo always puts a lump in my throat. Forsaken was such a great time. No one will know if they weren’t there. I’m excited for new light players to experience the Dreaming City for the first time. I hope they run Riven legit too. It’s hands down, the best raid encounter in Destiny history.
@@josim9244 yea i heard that too, i know there are lot of vets complainin about content drought, but i guess as a new player i still have a long road to travel until then
- p4p - it's a little more than that but that is an issue to the longer you play the more apparent the issues of the game become like all of pvp the amount you need to dumb to keep playing new content unbalanced guns disappointing and easy raids. Like go learn about some of the lore trust me you will be so disappointed with the story that's actually in the game and always question why the hell are these things not in the game? bungie screws a lot of things up sadly that will never change T.T
@@rightupmyalley617 I agree with you, I've been playing this game for a while and it's still the only game I play even though I have 10 others on my pc. Even though it can't compare to Forsaken, I love the build up that Shadowkeep started and how they continued with Season of Dawn. I firmly believe that Season 10 and 11 will be amazing seasons from what Bungie said so far. Idk if as good as Forsaken but one can hope!
My favorite raid encounter is the intro to scourge of the past, because of the set piece alone, i’ve always wanted to explore the last city and that’s the closet we ever got
After the Forsaken campaing and this masterpiece of a raid I was in awe. Extatic, really. And if someone would've told me that 2 years from now all engame content is 'motes go brrr' I'd laugh him in his smug face. I miss Forsaken level content.
Sadly its gone downhill since season of opulence. Look at the current state of the game. Shadowkeep was nowhere near what wrath of machine was. Current season is just nothingness after the first two weeks. There is literally nothing to do until the next exotic quest or the new sundial boss and whatever Patyrean restoration is but I doubt that the boss that restoration would have anything worthwhile. People will kill the boss for the Savior title and then never set foot in the sundial again.
Destiny isn’t an MMORPG though.. It’s a watered down looter shooter for casuals.. They’ve already admitted to wanting destiny to be a casual game for causal gamers.. nothing about MMO’s is soft core.
@@InnanetBaby I think kinda agree with you, I think we've fallen into the habit of calling any game with a loot system an 'RPG.' Now that I think of it, we never really have any MMORPG's now, either it's MMO or an RPG, most games aren't even open world... that being said, MMORPG is a pretty dated genre...
Karl Glenn yeah man..I mean we still have some MMORPG’s thriving rn like Warframe,ESO,& WOW.. I don’t play any of them but I grind Div2 hardfuckingcore lol
@@InnanetBaby yeah I used to do that with friends lol. Fucking grind all day getting all the dailies and weeklies out of this game. Unfortunately I had to delete the game because I had some programming projects I was working on. It's fucking 90gb, I think, and my laptop only has 250gb capacity because having only one SSD... I wished this game came out when I was 15-20 smth when I still had all the time in the world...
Best raid moment for me in Destiny is the first encounter on Crota’s End. It was very simple... but the feeling i got the first time getting chased by the thralls was an absolute horror
I thought I was over the hype of Last Wish, but this video reignited my love of the entire raid. This is 100% one of the most iconic raids in Destiny history, and I hope we never forget it.
This is the raid that really got me into the technical side of destiny.I remember testing out my whole arsenal and trying to speed run it with my old clan.Great times with the boys and shouts out to all the randoms y’all were fun to play with
RUclips recommended algorithm got it right and introduced your channel to me, great work in bringing back the feeling of excitement of going through an event the first time even after so much time had passed. Makes me excited again for the next season coming soon. Liked and subbed. Looking forward to more content.
This was the first raid that my clan and I couldn't progress through on day one. This coming from a crew with 380 raid clears in D1. Ultimately this raid was a reason why I left.
I honsestly hope they never actually nerfy the cheese because since last wish is extremely complicated and hard for inexperienced players not many people can actually complete last wish because of how complicated the encounters is and how long riven would take to do
@@griffinmelancon7989 - At this point, they won't, but it IS a raid. It's not meant to be a casual experience for individuals not willing to put in the effort to learn the encounters, and it never was. I understand where people are coming from when they say that they just want the loot, but if you aren't enjoying the process of learning and overcoming a challenge, why are you raiding to begin with? I've had this argument before. There is a clear divide in the community when it comes to difficulty in Destiny and how that manifests. I view the paradigm that argues for keeping these kinds of exploits in the game as hypocritical, for they are frequently of the crowd that considers light level inflation to be "artificial" difficulty. But there's no point in debating Riven cheese anymore, as I once did. Folks going back to Last Wish now are just grinding it to get One Thousand Voices, as the content is no longer relevant, but if they ever bring the raid back into the limelight (that is, boost it up to current light levels and update the gear), I would be surprised if they didn't fix Riven as they did all of the Crota's End encounters during Age of Triumph. Until then, the original strategy will be lost to time and circumstance.
Thank you for taking us through these legendary moments once again. Last Wish will always have a special place in my heart and will forever be one of the best experiences I've ever had in any game, ever. Scratch that, not just gaming, any time of media included. I doubt something will ever top it, this was truly a special moment.
6 months after the release of the forsaken dlc, I met my fiance and suddenly gaming didn't seem as important. As I fell in love with her, I slowly fell out of love with destiny. I still watched videos and kept in touch with a few clanmates, but from what I can tell I left at the absolute peak of the franchise. I love the last wish raid more than any piece of content from any game, ever. It was perfect. I still listen to the music from the vault once in a while when I want to feel pumped up. I remember doing my Petros run with lfg teams, trying for weeks before finding the team I would beat it with. One of the guys on that lfg team had lied about his experience level. He kept asking so many questions that we knew by morgeth he had never done it before, but we trucked on and amazingly beat it. One of my proudest moments as I feel like I was his sherpa through a blind flawless run. I'll come back to destiny if they can repeat this but I don't think there will ever be a dlc that even comes close. Thanks Evan for making such a great video that perfectly encapsulates how awesome it was
Well you are missing out then mate Most people have a mrs and family etc … but don’t let that get in the way of gaming a few nights a week You should get back into it … so much has changed! The games in a way better state right now and witch queen is gonna be the biggest expansion they’ve ever done …. Ur missing out on a classic
I think the last wish Riven encounter was one of the best boss fights I have ever seen. The fight was tough and challenging while the music continues to climb higher once riven is close to her death as the music turns triumphantly to give hope and slay the beast

Forsaken was the best thing to happen to D2...
Best thing to happen to Destiny period. Forsaken absolutely trumps Taken King, Rise of Iron, Shadowkeep, anything.
Edan Wheatley well, as Taken king was the start of the new era of destiny (year 2 onwards) which has ultimately led to what destiny 2 is now, I’d personally hold Taken king in a higher regard
TheSauceGod but if you’re talking about content and quality alone, forsaken beats any other expansion.
Edan Wheatley slow your role there
Forsaken is the best thing to happen to all of destiny

Underrated description of the decade.
The two best Soundtracks in all of gaming: Halo Reach Title and Queens-Walk Raid Encounter.
Hawk_ish Rivens theme is also pretty good
Cod bo2 adrenaline
Aksis is still my favorite. I love the entrance, the arena itself, and the mechanics based around empowering and coordinating attacks with scorch cannons and SIVA balls.
yeah same
Amscarpi I never really liked Aksis that much the best I’m my opinion was taken king that was such a fun raid
I'm a true blue vault of glass fan :P axsis was meh for me also if you like player coordination then riven should be up there for you, that encounter is just coordination and ad clear it's actually pretty easy buuuuuut ya always have that ONE guy that doesn't want to learn legit in yer team
And don’t forget that sexy ass outbreak prime quest when it was figured out...
Erragouth18 I never got outbreak because after all the work we did for the quest through the whole raid, we were having trouble at Aksis, and because me and my friend weren’t good friends with their group they kicked us for people they knew to join, and they got it without us
You know when you think Bungie can't beat the Taken King expansion, they come around the corner with Forsaken and slap that in your face HARD.
I just love how beautiful the enviroments are, just HOW MUCH the expansion explored different parts of the universe so well in the Lore and how amazing that Raid was designed. Boss battle after boss battle with a chunky puzzle in front of the final boss. Often you would have a puzzle early on to ease you into the raid, but not this time. This time the puzzle is the hardest part that a year later is still quiet a mess in some LFG groups, because lets be honest. Some of us out here always picked ad control and let the smarty pants do the puzzle, lmao.
This raid was a fontain of creativity in every aspect. Shuro Chi was running from you and you had to chase her, Morgeth was a race of speed as well in their own right, Riven complex and when killed wouldn't even be the final encounter. The Queenswalk is by far the coolest ending to a raid ever. You Literally deepthroat yourself into a freaking dragon to get its hard and then carry it around while a horde of Taken are attacking your team. The heart pulling the bearer into its insides where you have to fend of against another horde of Taken.
Like if you explained this to someone that hasn't seen this before, they just have to be hyped up to 11 just from hearing how crazy this sounds.
And then when the raid is over, the narrative continues. New content unlocks. Even harder stuff is revealed to be done, new quests and narrative wise, the slayers of Riven are now cursed with Riven being in their mind. That's something I *want* to be continued on for more storywise. I want Riven to be that second voice next to Ghost that just keeps talking, because she will talk when you do stuff like Shattered Throne.
There's just so much greatness in this. I think Forsaken has set the bar for Destiny expansions really on a new height. I don't know when Bungie will be able to ste the bar higher, but I can't wait to see that happen.
@@Mountaintop69420 There will hardly be anything out there that will raise the bar more than deepthroating ourselves into a giant dragon.
*Witch Queen enters the chat*
@@gavynthegamer225 Vow of The Disciple is much smaller and much easier than Last Wish not even comparable
@@zander182 When the fuck did he mention Vow
Shuro Chi is one of my favorite encounters, I love how it feels like a 1000 miles a minute & how fast you have to be. Final boss of GoS is also a lot of fun.
I’m just surprised that science taught me something for once with shadows
My favorite raid would have to be KING’S FALL. There’s something about that raid that makes me feel so happy playing with other people.
I feel you. That raid was incredible. The setting, the encounters and mechanics. The gear you could get, Its definitely one of my favorite raids.
Yeah last wish and kings fall are a lot alike
that’s why last wish is my favorite raid in d2 on d1 it’s definitely gonna be kings fall
Kings fall setting was soo good
I went of regular d1 last week and carried 3 friends through with 2 of my buddies was such a nostalgia rush
Im an old Destiny player back from D1 beta and I'll never forget going into VoG not having any clue how to complete it. Took about 8 hours after finally watching some videos of people who had previously completed it.
The music on the final phase of the vault hypes me up to this day
Forsaken was the most fun I've ever had on Destiny. Amazing race, was glad to be a part of it.
The way “and whisper wasn’t NERFED” was said was hilarious to me for some reason
Your content is incredible. Makes me proud to be a guardian
I really hope we get a big raid like this again. I wanna watch a 24 hour raid stream again
Legendary moments for sure... they have to make more raids like this and include new mechanics when the raid is beaten.
I remember skipping school that day just to play forsaken. Forsaken was so hype and I don’t think that hype can ever be matched again.
Morgeth in this raid is my favorite... but the reason is what happened during it. I LFGed into a team where I was the only one that knew the mechanic... hard enough... it also half the team couldn’t hear other team and vise versa. Whoever two players would join the party chat or game chat they could not hear or be heard by the other three and vise versa. But I (for some reason) was able to go into each other’s chats and be heard. I coordinated and explained the entire encounter tot hem under these conditions and managed to finish the encounter after 2-3 hours. I got the Curated Nation of Beasts and I immoderately put a shader on it so I wouldn’t lose it.
3 years later this video still gives me chills
The metal gear solid music while Sweatcicle is smashing that sandwich 😂😂😂
19:19 "Little did he realize, he had spent so much time wondering if he should, that he never wondered if he could"
Really appreciate the effort into the video really loved watching this. Keep it up
Oryx encounter is still my favorite. So much communication and team work needed. The entire raid was just perfect
I really love these in-depth videos of unique occurrences like this! As a new light player, they give a lot of context to things I otherwise wouldn't even know about. They are also very insightful, I hope to see more, good luck on your success!
FindingEDEN true dat
Welcome to Destiny, where the raids have an equal chance of being either this insane or simply a slightly more complex strike *cough scourgeofthepast and eaterofworlds cough*. If you haven't, get into the raiding community. Tons of fun, tons of late nights, tons of memories.
@@joshuavidrine889 have done garden and levithan and a few others they are really fun! Can't wait to do the reset of them and the future one when it comes out!
Queen's walk such a great song to finish my favorite raid
“A true Physical piece of golden clout” 😂
this dude is fucking comedian 😂😂😂😂
crazy that redeem did day 1 Last Wish with 5 people. Absolute madlads
The Vault, I fucking love this part of last Wish, hard, very fun to play, and the music, god damn, vaults third phase music gives me goosebumps
Music fuck yes hard not rlly unless you're talking about day 1 and it's somewhat enjoyable I guess :T
Its not really hard cause the puzzle is very easy thanks to guides. Only somewhat hard part is to remember the names of the symbols but eh, they are easy to remember after your first try. Lit third phase music though.
17:38 Datto just turns around and then BAM big ass dragonhand
The cello solo always puts a lump in my throat. Forsaken was such a great time.
No one will know if they weren’t there. I’m excited for new light players to experience the Dreaming City for the first time. I hope they run Riven legit too. It’s hands down, the best raid encounter in Destiny history.
HELP I COME FROM THE FUTURE THE DORITO'S SHIPS ARE COMING HELP
I remember vault it was so funny I was watching it then I went to sleep and when I woke up they were only just getting to riven
The Queenswalk soundtrack is the goat
Last Wish was possibly the hugest jebait of all time when it comes to Destiny
Man I always come back to this video
Just joined some weeks ago D2 with New Light, and is amazing to see all this moments the community has experienced. Good videos!
It only goes downhill from here and that's coming from a d1 beta veteran :P
@@josim9244 yea i heard that too, i know there are lot of vets complainin about content drought, but i guess as a new player i still have a long road to travel until then
- p4p - it's a little more than that but that is an issue to the longer you play the more apparent the issues of the game become like all of pvp the amount you need to dumb to keep playing new content unbalanced guns disappointing and easy raids. Like go learn about some of the lore trust me you will be so disappointed with the story that's actually in the game and always question why the hell are these things not in the game? bungie screws a lot of things up sadly that will never change T.T
@@-p4p-310 dont listen to these dumbasses. The only thing lacking right now is pvp improvement.
@@rightupmyalley617 I agree with you, I've been playing this game for a while and it's still the only game I play even though I have 10 others on my pc. Even though it can't compare to Forsaken, I love the build up that Shadowkeep started and how they continued with Season of Dawn. I firmly believe that Season 10 and 11 will be amazing seasons from what Bungie said so far. Idk if as good as Forsaken but one can hope!
My favorite raid encounter is the intro to scourge of the past, because of the set piece alone, i’ve always wanted to explore the last city and that’s the closet we ever got
Ninjy might’ve had the worst choke in destiny history
I swear, the final encounter has one of, if not, THE BEST theme across d1 and d2
Aksis theme stomps it
@@averageman4873 ok I may have forgot about some some but I did say "one of"
After the Forsaken campaing and this masterpiece of a raid I was in awe. Extatic, really. And if someone would've told me that 2 years from now all engame content is 'motes go brrr' I'd laugh him in his smug face.
I miss Forsaken level content.
"Five helmet drops in a row" the type of shit I get on a daily.
"Ryan use the granade on me. No, that's a dead body"
I remember this one very clearly :D :D :D
the hardest raid experience I’ve ever had was gathering the people to raid
I swear, Destiny is creating another MMORPG "golden age" in the age of dead MMO's.
Sadly its gone downhill since season of opulence. Look at the current state of the game. Shadowkeep was nowhere near what wrath of machine was. Current season is just nothingness after the first two weeks. There is literally nothing to do until the next exotic quest or the new sundial boss and whatever Patyrean restoration is but I doubt that the boss that restoration would have anything worthwhile. People will kill the boss for the Savior title and then never set foot in the sundial again.
Destiny isn’t an MMORPG though..
It’s a watered down looter shooter for casuals..
They’ve already admitted to wanting destiny to be a casual game for causal gamers..
nothing about MMO’s is soft core.
@@InnanetBaby I think kinda agree with you, I think we've fallen into the habit of calling any game with a loot system an 'RPG.' Now that I think of it, we never really have any MMORPG's now, either it's MMO or an RPG, most games aren't even open world... that being said, MMORPG is a pretty dated genre...
Karl Glenn yeah man..I mean we still have some MMORPG’s thriving rn like Warframe,ESO,& WOW.. I don’t play any of them but I grind Div2 hardfuckingcore lol
@@InnanetBaby yeah I used to do that with friends lol. Fucking grind all day getting all the dailies and weeklies out of this game. Unfortunately I had to delete the game because I had some programming projects I was working on. It's fucking 90gb, I think, and my laptop only has 250gb capacity because having only one SSD... I wished this game came out when I was 15-20 smth when I still had all the time in the world...
Niobe labs the prequel..I felt that
Best raid moment for me in Destiny is the first encounter on Crota’s End. It was very simple... but the feeling i got the first time getting chased by the thralls was an absolute horror
I'll never forget watching this for 24 hours straight. Seriously my favorite time in destiny history. Those first few weeks of forsaken were insane
I feel bad for Riven and the raid, it’s so fun to do it legit. Sadly finding a team is so hard that I’ve only done it legit twice.
Riven legit remains the best raid boss Bungie's ever made. Love it so much.
ajbolt I’m gonna go with Oryx over Riven.
@@lorensotomas7562 I think Oryx is unfortunately the worst Final raid boss in Destiny, which sucks, because he's still the best Villain
@@bepisaxe4464 I personally like that boss fight. It’s my favorite.
@@lorensotomas7562 I think Oryx is a phenomenal encounter for the first time, but after that I can't help but find his encounter so.......boring
People that say this isn’t the best destiny raid are insane
They are usually blinded by nostalgia.
I thought I was over the hype of Last Wish, but this video reignited my love of the entire raid. This is 100% one of the most iconic raids in Destiny history, and I hope we never forget it.
My favorite is probably Vault of Glass, as that was my first raid ever
FaZe Bloodrain me 2 d2 is trash af
@@DannyBashy then why are you going thru the comments on a video about a d2 thing
This is the raid that really got me into the technical side of destiny.I remember testing out my whole arsenal and trying to speed run it with my old clan.Great times with the boys and shouts out to all the randoms y’all were fun to play with
RUclips recommended algorithm got it right and introduced your channel to me, great work in bringing back the feeling of excitement of going through an event the first time even after so much time had passed. Makes me excited again for the next season coming soon. Liked and subbed. Looking forward to more content.
Last wish is my favorite raid. The moment you see Riven is breathtaking and kinda scary. Its like "THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO FACE?!"
20:49 when you get hit with a math quiz and don’t even know the problems
Hearing datto go "YES BABY LETS FUUCKING GO" still gives me goosebumps
How could you not include Broman's absolute save for Raredrop with his solo kill of Kalli
Datto realizing there's more after that encounter: "MISTER FROOOOOOOOT!"
This was the first raid that my clan and I couldn't progress through on day one. This coming from a crew with 380 raid clears in D1. Ultimately this raid was a reason why I left.
You and so many others on day 1 struggled .
That's why only 2 teams got the 24 hour emblem
Oryx is my all time favorite raid encounter. The sheer scale alone was incredibly fun
I'm still mad that they refuse to fix the Riven exploit.
After it was discovered, Bungie tweeted that the recognize "Riven Cheese" as a legitimate strat to defeat her
Who actually cares it's a old raid now so
I honsestly hope they never actually nerfy the cheese because since last wish is extremely complicated and hard for inexperienced players not many people can actually complete last wish because of how complicated the encounters is and how long riven would take to do
@@griffinmelancon7989 - At this point, they won't, but it IS a raid. It's not meant to be a casual experience for individuals not willing to put in the effort to learn the encounters, and it never was. I understand where people are coming from when they say that they just want the loot, but if you aren't enjoying the process of learning and overcoming a challenge, why are you raiding to begin with? I've had this argument before. There is a clear divide in the community when it comes to difficulty in Destiny and how that manifests. I view the paradigm that argues for keeping these kinds of exploits in the game as hypocritical, for they are frequently of the crowd that considers light level inflation to be "artificial" difficulty. But there's no point in debating Riven cheese anymore, as I once did. Folks going back to Last Wish now are just grinding it to get One Thousand Voices, as the content is no longer relevant, but if they ever bring the raid back into the limelight (that is, boost it up to current light levels and update the gear), I would be surprised if they didn't fix Riven as they did all of the Crota's End encounters during Age of Triumph. Until then, the original strategy will be lost to time and circumstance.
CEO of RUclips comments above me damn
“Flesh, all on you buddy, here you go” we will remember those words, legendary words
Man... couldnt even mention the infamous "guitar" error
Thank you for taking us through these legendary moments once again. Last Wish will always have a special place in my heart and will forever be one of the best experiences I've ever had in any game, ever. Scratch that, not just gaming, any time of media included. I doubt something will ever top it, this was truly a special moment.
This video brought back the feels from this raid race. I remember watching everyone in this. Great video man!
The Templar and Oryx will always have a special place in my heart. Incredible raids and encounters
Sweatcicle looks like he is possessed by the sandwich.
6 months after the release of the forsaken dlc, I met my fiance and suddenly gaming didn't seem as important. As I fell in love with her, I slowly fell out of love with destiny. I still watched videos and kept in touch with a few clanmates, but from what I can tell I left at the absolute peak of the franchise. I love the last wish raid more than any piece of content from any game, ever. It was perfect. I still listen to the music from the vault once in a while when I want to feel pumped up. I remember doing my Petros run with lfg teams, trying for weeks before finding the team I would beat it with. One of the guys on that lfg team had lied about his experience level. He kept asking so many questions that we knew by morgeth he had never done it before, but we trucked on and amazingly beat it. One of my proudest moments as I feel like I was his sherpa through a blind flawless run. I'll come back to destiny if they can repeat this but I don't think there will ever be a dlc that even comes close. Thanks Evan for making such a great video that perfectly encapsulates how awesome it was
Well you are missing out then mate
Most people have a mrs and family etc … but don’t let that get in the way of gaming a few nights a week
You should get back into it … so much has changed! The games in a way better state right now and witch queen is gonna be the biggest expansion they’ve ever done …. Ur missing out on a classic
I feel bad for anyone that hasn't experienced the Riven fight in its full glory
Never done it legit and got my 1k don't care to do it legit and never going back in that dogshit raid
Easy, pull out a prospector.
This is why Destiny is my favourite multiplayer experience raids itself are so fun especially Last Wish and Wrath of the machine
Love these videos
Same
I think the last wish Riven encounter was one of the best boss fights I have ever seen.
The fight was tough and challenging while the music continues to climb higher once riven is close to her death as the music turns triumphantly to give hope and slay the beast
It's funny how 90% of people that have killed riven have never experienced the full fight 😔
Bro. Serious note.
From an original D1 Beta 4life player.

Much respect for passing the torch...
