PSA: May 19th marks the 1 Year anniversary of the Launch of House Of Wolves
This DLC, marked the Best Era of Destiny. It introduced a 6-7 mission story, Prison of Elders, and Trials of Osiris. The best part of this DLC was that:
A) You could reroll weapons
B) You could Ascend old Legendary Weapons and Armor that came out at Launch, Dark Below, and 331 Vendor Gear to Max Light. (365) (Fatebringer anyone?)
C) Crucible was mostly balanced (Auto Rifles needed a big buff back then for crucible to be 100% perfect)
And best of all....
Weapons had [i][u]Primary Elemental Burns[/u][/i]
I suggest that Bungie, takes a moment to go back in time and see, "Hey, this was the best moment for Destiny so far, people want it back, what can we do to make a direct replication of this Situation and make it the same as back then?"
Also, May 19th this year is on a Thursday, which is a Bungie Weekly Update day. I would like Cozmo to say an opinion or a favorite thing back in House of Wolves that was fun and/or want to bring back.
TL:DR
-May 19th marks the Anniversary of House of Wolves, what did you like about it, what do suggest that could bring back that moment into Year 2?
Thanks for reading. Comment, Bump, and see if we can get this noticed. Please share this with other people as well.
Edit 1: Lots of good discussions, most people think the bad thing was rerolling because every gun had a "god roll". I liked that because everyone had the same perks with different stats on guns and their archetypes, it made everything looked fair in my view.
Edit 2: I was on Xbox 360 when this happened.
-I saw as much of Thorn/Last Word in the crucible as I did with Pulse Rifles and Fast Rate of Fire Scout Rifles. Barley any Auto Rifles.
-Only fusion rifle I saw was Vex Mythoclaust. There was a lot shotguns and snipers but in the end, shotguns ruled most 6v6's I was in and in Trials, Snipers.
-BTRD-345 + Corrective Measure was the only Machine Guns I saw (Back then there weren't that many) and lots of Rockets Running Grenades and Horseshoes with Tripod/Clown Cartridge.
Pve Wise, I enjoyed hearing people's Reactions to Fatebringer being dropped for Them. Getting Skolas Killed 8 Times in the week before they removed the burns that Monday was a blast with Solar Burn. Nightfalls where fun because there was a lot of burns that made it fun, challenging, and fast. I would also Stack bounties, each one with 5000 xp till they were full of the 10 bounty slots and then I did them.

3 RepliesIt seems there's some sharply divided comments regarding this. HoW era was personally my favorite time to play. Both VoG and CE were relevant. Thought PoE was bunk, ran Skolas 2 times and that was enough for me. Ran 34 PoE every week for the EL but wasn't thrilled about it. Leveled up my 2nd character in HoW, after switching from Hunter to Titan early on in vanilla. Started my warlock but lost steam and decided to break until TTK came out. TTK dropped and after I finished the story, decided to break again until early this year. That goes to tell you what I thought about the leveling/end game system of that era. Really got into crucible during HoW. Thought I got pretty decent. Touched a .98 K/D on my Titan, before I took a couple month break until TTK came out. I was REALLY disappointed when they put a nerf on the Vex not long after HoW dropped. They nerfed the bolt spread of Fusion rifles and it inadvertently made the VM very unpredictable on hitting your target. It couldn't even do midrange very well. I ran crucible with Red Death (used this most often), MIDA, and Thorn sometimes the Vex after the nerf because I was stubborn and I used to love that thing. Never found a really good Legendary primary that I liked. Granted, I didn't try them all... I was happy with rolling with the above three. Tried Trials a few times but couldn't get into it... or couldn't get good enough to get into it. Didn't feel like I was missing anything. I liked weapon reroll, got weapons I liked with all three arc damages and perk rolls I found acceptable enough to keep. They did make crucible slant towards the Sniper/Shotty meta because, thus after a little while I started to see the meta use increase, but for the most part regular Crucible matches and even IB on Sat-Mon had plenty of folks who largely ran primaries like I do. Most of the try hards stuck to Trials.
