Memorable Destiny moments (Destiny)

My first ever Vault of Glass, of course. Cheating the jumping puzzle. Blackstar was leading me through, waiting around to watch me royally screw up the jumping puzzle that I'd never seen. Someone used the cheat to skip it, and I followed him. Blackstar seemed pretty disappointed. I still don't really know the proper way through that puzzle. When we cleared VoG a few weeks ago was legitimately the first time I've ever done it.

There was also that time I cleared Hard Mode VoG for the year one Moments of Triumph and got my first Fatebringer and Gjallarhorn at the same time. That was pretty cool.

Year one Moments of Triump in general stand out as a pretty cool time in Destiny. I helped a few people knock out Skolas in that last week before they closed, and that was a lot of fun. Skolas is still one of my favorite encounters in Destiny.

My first ever blind raid, King's Fall, with Kermit's crew will always stand out. Blind raiding is something special, and it's the only one I've ever done. It took us a few weeks, but we got it done, in the end, with the whole crew mostly intact. Can't wait to do another blind raid in Destiny 2.

These last few weeks have honestly been some of the most fun I've had with Destiny, though. Raiding with Korny, kupkake, Kermit, Destroyo, Ottermack, Bigarm, etc., over these past few weeks has been a real blast. It's been a huge reminder of why Destiny is so much fun. Hell, I even enjoyed playing Iron Banner for the first time ever.

As others have said, I'm not sure Destiny by itself has a lot of memorable moments. I can only remember a handful of specific encounters or situations or story beats, whereas I can still recall many of all of those things through the Halo games. But Destiny is far, far better at facilitating having good times with friends than Halo ever was. I've long wished that Destiny was more like Halo (and I still do, in some regards), but I think I've finally reached a point where I can recognize what Destiny is aiming for, and it's so much more than Halo ever was.
