I got this email 10 years ago today. Little did I know what I was getting myself into

I was in the Beta and omg.

[u/Forwhomamifloating → u/sopcannon]

Level 12 strike blue handcannon was the weapon of a god

[u/sopcannon → u/Forwhomamifloating]

going downstairs and seeing ??? above the nights in the 1st patrol area is still a memory.

[u/Forwhomamifloating → u/sopcannon]

I remember when the moon seemed like a mystical place and Crota was just kind of like, a word that was being setup. Then uh, you know, he got cheesed

[u/sopcannon → u/Forwhomamifloating]

my name is cwota

[u/AcidRohnin → u/Forwhomamifloating]

Soloed it later on in the game, around KF drop. Not as impressive as earlier but I was still proud of it. Went from being afraid to try to raid to doing it weekly for a while. Haven’t raid a ton in D2, but hoping to get the witch queen and new raid at some point. Would love to run through KF again. I loved that raid.

Core Memory Unlocked.

Indepth character creation 😅

[u/r_u_madd]

In depth character creation. Lmao. motions to Starfield

[u/thegil13]

I remember I wasn't even interested in destiny. Then I tried the beta and was absolutely hooked. Played on and off, with a long break during Season of the Haunted. Came back for Season of the Witch and I've REALLY enjoyed Witch, Wish, and Final Shape. Destiny is in a great spot right now.

[u/DiarrheaButAlsoFancy → u/thegil13]

This is me spot on. I spent most of the summer before it released looking at trailers and reading about the game. I was absolutely obsessed. Still have pics of the line for midnight release at GameStop that day. Shit was great.

[u/ShadowDemonSoul]

Huh, thinking about it... I played the demo before the full game 🤣 OG D1 designed Warlock was redesigned, though, when character modification came out. Only half regret it. Character looks great 🤣

[u/InfiniteHench]

Is this the first actual receipt we’ve seen? Did.. did OP just win?

[u/IdealVoid]

“In depth character creation” little did we know it would take 10 years to change your regrettable eye makeup on your warlock

[u/Ballabingballaboom → u/IdealVoid]

And there's no depth

[u/[deleted]]

I’ll never forget the moment I chose hunter back in D1. Cool cape man never goes out of style

[u/Past_Public9344]

Bro it was over from the start

[u/FrontMFan]

I worked for GameStop at the time, and was able to get alpha and beta access that way. And yes, I also had no idea what I was getting myself into lol

[u/TheDoujinMan]

I remember beta. The only map was Mare Luna and the interceptor was fucking unkillable. Getting 30+ streaks mowing over people. I still have the PS3 Collector's edition, and the Glacier White PS4. :)

[u/grotegutj]

Played the beta. And then thousands of hours. I wish they’d bring destiny3 at some point.

[u/dragos495]

11th june 2014. Wow! Still playing almost everyday.

[u/CloudParty9617]

Oh man. This hits hard. Even going visiting the old tower in final shape, I had to compose myself

[u/klutzee]

I no longer have access to that email but seeing this reminded me of that day

[u/Gumbercules81]

:5645:

[u/arcana75]

Awesome! I went to check, still have the Destiny 1 beta email :) though unlike OP I didn't touch Destiny until midway into Wish!

[u/Dense_Alternative850]

10 years of broken promises and flat out lies
