Hey everyone, I’m a returning Destiny 2 player. I’ve been away from the game for roughly three years, and I have around 1,900 hours played. I came back without keeping up with all the sandbox changes or reading years of patch notes. I basically went in blind. And one of the very first things I noticed was that the movement didn’t feel like the Destiny I remembered. At first, I couldn’t quite explain what felt wrong. After playing for a while, I realized that a big part of it is the transition between sprinting, sliding, and jumping. I remember being able to sprint into a slide and transition into a jump while carrying that feeling of momentum forward. Those actions felt like one continuous movement. Now, especially when transitioning from a slide into a jump, it feels like that momentum and flow get interrupted. And for me, that matters much more than simply being able to sprint faster or slide farther. Movement speed and movement flow are not the same thing. What made Destiny special to me was how naturally its movement chained together. Sprinting, sliding, jumping, dodging, and things like Icarus Dash on Warlock created this incredibly fluid rhythm. Once you got used to it, you didn’t think about the individual inputs anymore. You just moved. That was a huge part of Destiny’s identity for me. I know there are armor pieces, mods, Exotics, and other ways to increase sprint speed, slide distance, or other movement characteristics. But I don’t think buildcrafting should be required to make the basic act of moving around feel great. The baseline character should feel good to move before any buildcrafting enters the equation. I’m not asking for every sandbox change from the last three years to be reverted. Games evolve, and balance changes happen. But I genuinely hope the team takes another look at baseline movement, momentum preservation, and especially transitions like slide → jump. What struck me most about returning after three years wasn’t a weapon nerf, a subclass change, or an ability I didn’t recognize. It was simply: “Why doesn’t moving around feel as good anymore?” After around 1,900 hours with Destiny before my break, the fact that this was one of the first things I noticed upon returning concerns me more than almost any individual balance change could. Destiny has always had fantastic gunplay, abilities, and buildcrafting. But to me, the movement was what tied all of those things together and made the game feel like Destiny. I really hope that feeling becomes a priority again.
