Ghost Angel: How Rank-up Packages Destroyed My Marriage

The very first day of Rise of Iron, my wife and I each jumped on to check out all the new DLC goodies. We had edged some rep, so with her very first Vanguard rank-up package, she got what is arguably the coolest Hunter cloak in the game: Ghost Angel. Needless to say, I was super jealous, and so I committed myself to get on my own Hunter and grind away for it myself. 3 months later… no Ghost Angel. I decided to give up on Vanguard rep and throw myself into Crucible instead to grind for Shax's counterpart cloak, the H_LD Starwinder. They are, after all, essentially the same thing, even if "Ghost Angel" is a cooler name. But here we are 3+ weeks into the PvP grind (I'm talking several hours per day, every day), and as I'm sure you've guessed, I am still [b]not[/b] the owner of a Starwinder cloak. So yesterday, my wife decided to get back on Destiny after a 2-ish month hiatus. Iron Banner and all. Oh I bet you can guess where this is going. Yup. Her first rank-up package: H_LD Starwinder. At this point, I really don't see any option but to file for divorce. EDIT: I feel like Bungie should spring for the lawyer. EDIT 2: I'm adding Cozmo and Deej in the tags, cause you never know when they (really just Cozmo, but I don't want Deej to feel left out) might randomly reply to a (somewhat) #satire post like this. That'd be pretty cool/funny. EDIT 3: I wouldn't have thought this was a necessary disclaimer, but the divorce part is pure satire. Some people seem genuinely concerned about it lol.

  • Bro I went through the challenge of elders, iron banner, trials, and strikes. Use like 20 three of coins. Didn't get a single exotic. My buddy got like seven. Then I got the lord of wolves. He has been grinding for that gun since like, the beginning of year two. I love karma.

  • To this day, the Ghost Angel cloak still eludes me. But then I still got my vanilla Ghost Angel cloak though. Still wanna get it cuz of the description it has: "We are an army of the chosen dead". It's the only class item that has a nice description so far (imo)

        • Feeling your pain! My experience with that was getting every single cloak and armour piece from the older drop pool before getting Ghost Angel. Was about to give up on it too. Fav cloak since vanilla. Star Winder would be nice but the hood of the cloak colour changing was a bit meh with most shaders. RNG is the devil but good luck getting your drop ✌🏻️

                • Srry to say this but. I get those cloaks like every rank up. And i dismantle them instantly because i would trade them all in instantly for the legendary version of the starter neckwarmer.

                  • No Ghost Angel myself, after who knows how many Vanguard rep packs. However I have gotten two Starwinders. The second was summarily infused into the first. I now have a rad non-IB cloak for Crucible. :)

                  • I still have two Ghost Angel cloaks in the Vault from Y1. I actually think I've had 5 or 6 Ghost Angel/Stawinder cloaks since Y3 started but I usually just dismantle them cause I don't like the way they look. I'd rather run Lion's Vigil Cloak because I'm a sweaty skrublord who runs full ToO gear.

                      Update for any who care: Got a Cloak of the Exodus from Dead Orbit this morning (thanks for the heavy ammo synths, Xür). At least now I have something decent looking to wear while I continue my grind. Whether it will be enough to salvage my marriage in the meantime, well… only time will tell. /s Looks like people are saying Archon's Forge is the way to go. I feel stupid for not knowing this before now. I think I spent most of my time in the Forge (back when people were actually doing it) on my Warlock (who was my main before this Ghost Angel grind turned full-blown obsession). It seems almost impossible to get into a lobby of people doing the Forge anymore. Everyone's had their fill of it and moved on.
