I haven’t done too many raids or anything all that impressive. However, there is something I will always be thankful towards Bungie for because it taught me a valuable lesson I thought I already knew: video games are supposed to be fun.
Going batblam crazy with transmog when it first came out was the best thing I’ve ever done. I still don’t know if this was because of my ADHD, but when it came to video games, I would always do things by a book of my own making. Yup, that’s right. I was 10 times more organized in video games as I was in real life!
When clearing out an open world game, I would try to decide whether to take out all the enemy bases or get the collectibles first. If I aimed to take out all the enemy bases first, I wouldn’t grab a collectible if I saw on the way even if it was easy or convenient.
This applied to fashion too. Everything, and I mean [i]everything,[/i] had to match all the time. All armor and weapons had to have the same shader and be a part of the same set if I could help it. This was easy because I only had the ornaments that I wore.
Then armor synthesis came out. There were a million new ornaments to use and nothing to do with them. I realized I was tired of my old look and had a mental breakdown that forced me to get creative and tear the book to shreds.
Now I have a transmog set I made myself from 5 different armor sets and 5 different shaders that I now consider part of Centaur-1’s canon and I create a new set every time I equip an exotic armor piece. I no longer need a strict system for every video game I play and do things my way whenever I feel like it.

That’s great that you found a system that works well for you. And I’m glad that at least some component of the game has been helpful for you. I’ll look out for those fashion tips!

This brings tears to my eyes… [spoiler]I’m the same way when it comes to fashion.[/spoiler]

Bearbeitet von Centaur-1: 12/16/2021 12:23:06 AMNothing wrong with having a system or having matching colors/shaders(I mostly wear black armor so I’m not exactly a walking rainbow). I was just tired of my old look. Also my favorite shader at the time, New Age Black Armory, was animated so it didn’t leave much space for experimentation. If you’re happy than that’s okay. If you get bored with it than I suggest experimenting in the fashion menu before grinding for synth materials.
