The Legend title is so bad: it's offensive.

I agree, it's Terrible.

I disagree, it's great.

Without a doubt, the legend title is as bad a mistake as the Lightfall story, I feel sick looking at it. I’ve accidentally done some of the requirements and picked up the armour because: why not, but I’ve 0 interest in it any further than that. The wasted opportunity here is of ABSOLUTELY EPIC proportions. I mean, it’s staggering how Bungie missed the mark here, as if they were facing directly away from their intended target. The title is Legend. Legend… a Legend of Destiny, celebrating 10 years of our favourite game, friendships made, memories, laughs, and unforgettable moments. Legend. Wasn’t ‘become legend’ the tag line? Well, here we are: we can now have the title, and I couldn’t care less. Because I don’t want it? Hell, no! I was excited to hear that there was a celebration of 10 years of my favourite game, I was excited to get a title for it and was actually looking forward to seeing the requirements. I was expecting to see nostalgia, so... what impressive and exciting feats are required? 1. Pick up armour. ok, it's classic. 2. Pick up ornaments. Not a challenge, but ok... 3. Do the 4 timeline missions. Already dine, so fine... tiny bit nostalgic, I suppose. 4. Grind playlist activities wearing the armour. WTF... Why? I've done a thousand playlist activities... 5. Achieve Guardian Justiciar rank… I dunno, 8, is it? That's legend status? Really...? 6. Decrypt 10 engrams. What? Decrypt engrams... yep: That's the stuff of Legend. 7. Oh yes, here we go… sit in a patrol space for hours and farm legendary random drops from patrol level enemies. Are you kidding me?! THIS? This is part of how I show I'm a Legend?! How is this real? This is how we celebrate 10 years of Destiny! ARE YOU SERIOUS, BUNGIE? It is an absolute disgrace. This is how we celebrate 10 years of memories? This? Destiny players love a bit of nostalgia, when I heard Xur was selling Gjallarhorn I laughed because it’s a great way to throwback to D1 when we got it for the first time. I liked getting the old tower back (sort of) in TFS, Cayde coming back for a bit, when we got VOG and Crota back… the list goes on. We need the new stuff, but we’ll always talk about the things we miss from before. What I’m confused about is how Bungie screwed this up so badly, and why no-one is talking about it… The list above is honestly acceptable? Especially 7… WTF even is that? Look how simple it is: 1. Pick up armour and ornaments from the old tower. Fine, but make it 1 achievement. 2. Complete all Timeline missions - wearing armour and with friends - yeah, ok, I suppose. 3. Complete 2 old raids using D1 Reprised weapons and using light based subclasses only (as available in D1) 4. Complete 2 new raids wearing the armour using D2 only weapons. 5. Complete a GM in classic armour using reprised D1 Weapons and light subclasses 6. Complete a Dungeon in classic armour. With reprised D1 weapons and light subclasses 7. Maybe a little patrol activity in the cosmodrome, I suppose, but absolutely NOTHING like the requirement they’ve put in. 8. Guardian rank 10, definitely. It’s called Legend. Be a legend or don’t. 9. Retroactive list: 5 raids total, 5 dungeons total. 5 GM’s total, 20 Strikes, 20 Crucible matches, 10 Gambit matches, 5 Trials matches, 30 Story missions. 10. Minimum 50% of all exotics available and at least 300 items in your vault. It's historic, it's Legend. That doesn't happen overnight... You've been creating your Legend for a while, or you weren't, and not everyone should be able to get this title. That’s literally off the top of my head, mid rant. Imagine… just imagine where 5 minutes of thought could take you. Imagine if they asked the community what makes a Destiny Legend? Imagine if they actually tried... I believe that this is a good example of what makes a Destiny Legend. Nothing too hard, not for a Legend of Destiny. It’s nothing for someone deserving of the title. Most is done for the majority of us who actually are Destiny Legends. But… The casuals want it. The ones who aren’t Destiny Legends, because they haven't put the time in. Just like they wanted leviathan loot without doing the raid itself in D2 Vanilla. Just like they wanted more Exotics and now they have absolutely no value at all. Just like they were jealous of those of us who had grinded the game for years to accrue thousands of legendary shards and were resource rich for our efforts, so they had to go… Why TF do we have to care what casuals want? You put the time in, you get the rewards. If you don’t then you don’t. I wouldn’t play another game, put no time into it and complain that experienced platters had more than me… who does that? It’s just a rant at the end of the day, but one worthy of sharing, I thought… In conclusion: Bungie failed here. They failed hard. What do you think?

  • Don't forget it's also bugged and doesn't count towards guardian rank, learned that the hard way

    Wasn't expecting much for the 10th, but I'd have liked to have seen maybe them do some things like: - Releasing the original supercut for Destiny 1 - the one upper management didn't like and it ended up with D1 getting its story scrambled. - The original music of the spheres being put online - as far as I know it was only properly released on vinyl and any others we have are mix/matched from sources to try and replicate it. - Legend title actually encompassed things over both games - not just a 'collect armour -> do strikes -> do timeline missions -> collect engrams'. The tracking is already there (we had the veteran emblems) so the seal could've had a x/y number needed for the seal and had retroactive things from D1 + things from D2 and you needed to get X amount. it would, as its D2, be fully completable based on D2 alone but having D1 stuff would let you skip some things. - A single/two strikes replicated from vanilla D1 - the areas for Phogoth are basically all there.

    • Biggest issue is a lot of people have played completely or almost completely solo., but theyve put in those horrible coop missions you have to do them 5 times, absolutely awful choice.

      • "How is this real"? Got me.... I like collecting things in games, used to be a big completionist. Now I could care less. Titles and accolades are fine, if there's one thing you want to get, go for it. It doesn't have to be all of them. To your point, it's a ten year anniversary and they should have done something better. It should be challenging stuff to get a Legend title, not boring stuff. If you've played the game long enough, half of not 75% of the titles you earned are never on lol But definitely agree.

      • I don’t care. I don’t chase titles. I didn’t expect much for the 10th anniversary, the best part for me was Xur having Gally. That was a pleasant surprise, and a nice nod to the past.

      • To be fair if I see someone with the title equipped I just assume they have no others unless they are a high guardian rank

      • Obviously a thinly veiled disguise to sell more copies of Final Shape. The title is so bad I actually find it funny.

      • Warframe’s Anniversary event were better than this, even they somehow have the buns to get Wisp the third(or second?) Dex Skin. While Bungie gives you BS like this and armor that I qualify as mid on all classes. Holy Warsats, Parson’s incompetence is so high that comparing Bungie to Digital extremes feels more and more like the video with Scott Cawthon and Y.. Dev. It’s horrifying that we’ve come this far from D1 to this… What a sad time. Feels like Doom has knocked on the door and entered even without response.

      • Get over yourself, it's just a title. Either chase it or don't. The Legend seal being too easy is the least of the game's problems.

      • Legend title should have had a time requirement. Maybe like having started playing at least a year after D2 released. I started this account just over a year ago so I shouldn't be able to go for the title if I wanted.

      • Sure the Legend title doesn’t feel like a title worthy of its name given the requirements and I didn’t feel very accomplished getting it. But, who cares it’s a title. The best players already have titles like godslayer and the ones for doing raids flawless, or grinding weeks of various requirements. Even then people complained about the godslayer title. Saying everything in the game being too easy to acquire and its casuals fault is dumb. The game being more accessible is a good thing. No new players or newer players who are suddenly not interested in playing because of difficulty, confusion, and the inability to get mods and required exotics to even have a chance at playing the “good content” has helped this game get to where it is. Building a game for a small percentage of people isn’t the path to success. For legendary shards bungie could have done something sure, but I assure you no one was jealous of the 50k shards you were never going to use. Exotics still have value. If you think they don’t, do some of the harder content without one. A good roll is the chase for exotics, and much better imo than not getting it because of rng. legendary weapons with a better roll go from dismantle to meta. [spoiler]this was longer than I wanted it to be[/spoiler]

      • the only reason they couldn't do guardian rank higher than that is because it would be locked behind a season, so they just decided to put the armor in the pale heart, to lock it within the dlc

        I might suspect they only required GR8 because 9 means clearing SE and maybe someone with a shred of common sense knew that would be an unpleasant barrier that would discourage people from even trying, especially those who favor PVP. If they made it an either-or, like GR9-10 [b]OR[/b] getting or gilding one/some of the more interesting titles (Conqueror, Flawless, whatever). That could make it more accessible, including to PVP-oriented players who are less likely to raid. The Skywatch engram collecting thing was stupid.
