I love Destiny

I don't know why I'm writing this. I guess I just want the people at bungie to read it.. and to thank them. I was blown up and nearly killed in Afghanistan by an I.E.D. while serving as a U.S. Army Infantrymen. Half my head has 600,000 dollars worth of titanium in it. Half my leg is metal as well. When I was in Walter Reed, my wife brought me the Xbox one I had bought before I deployed. She knew I was excited to play Destiny because I had always been a huge bungie fan because of all the Halo games. As part of my therapy I played Destiny. I fell in love with the game. It helped my eyesight return to 20/20 from 20/80 and really helped me take my mind off of things. 9 months have passed now. I'm still not tired of the game. I'm kind of anti-social, but I'm working on it. I'm kind of like Eris; I've seen things... I really hope destiny will live up to itself because it's F@$#ing awesome. I even bought my wife an Xbox and got her hooked as well. I guess the whole point of this post is to just show my appreciation. Thank you workers at Bungie. Destiny really helps me take my mind off of my chronic pain. I hope this awesome game will eventually release DLC people are happy with. Edit: I'm an old guardian. Not a day one player but pretty close. Old enough to get extremely tired of people asking about my rosegold. A moment of silence to remember the old pvp king, Suros Regime. I'm a people watcher, but not in a creepy way. I scan the forums all the time. I like reading what people post about. Lately though, not as much. I honestly feel like the DLC released so far should've been included in the game orginally? I haven't managed to play trials at all or end Skolas. Even the worst Destiny players I know have done all these things. I guess my social skills are not up to the challenge anymore. Maybe I'm getting bored? I'm not sure. I still love playing Destiny just not as much anymore and I can't figure out why. There use to be a time when I had all maxed characters and never missed a daily or weekly activity. Now I deleted all of them and made a new character of my favorite class to try and revive my interest. I guess I just switched to being an extremely casual guardian? Not really sure what I'm getting at but anyone experiencing anything similar? Merica' Hell Yeah.

            • Why is it so much easier to criticize somebody than to thank them for something? For example, I feel gratitude for the services you and your comrades perform for our country, but saying anything more than "thank you so much for your service" seems like a difficult task. Nevertheless, I am grateful for what you and your peers are willing to go through in order to fight evil. Too many people demonize the military and trivialize the sacrifice of soldiers. Granted, there is corruption in the military but most soldiers are good people and they deserve more respect than they get in the media. And yet anybody who pays that sort of respect is immediately branded as a gun-toting republican. But there are plenty of people who support you. I may not like Destiny, in fact when I compare it to the glory that was Halo, it was a huge disappointment. But I am glad that it is helping you make a recovery. I imagine anything is a welcome distraction in comparison to the horrors you've witnessed.

              • While I am Canadian, I will not shy away from saying you did your country proud, and I salute you. It is refreshing to see SOME air of positivity on the forums, that light in the thick clouds. Destiny for sure has a way of bringing people together, despite the drama. Ps. I don't get asked about the Rosegold anymore, but 'The Supremacy' and my 'Queen's Guard warlock bond, I still get asked about. The frustration is real. XD

              • This is an amazing story. I sincerely thank you for your service, it feels like not enough people appreciate the men and women who serve us, and those who are injured as a result. As a 16 year old, I hear kids my age say that military service is only for warmongers or idiots. I hope that these kids will see one day the true sacrifice that it is. I'm honored to live in a country defended by people like you. I wish you a good life, and hope that your injuries never hold you back. You're an inspiration.

                            • I'll cut to the chase we need OPTIONAL matchmaking in every thing. So in my opinion this is the difference between having a in game matchmaking and what we use today outside of the game for group matching. Today's way of endgame matchmaking. 1-Pick up phone 2-find lfg app that's wasting space on my phone 3- find a group that doesn't require the freaking gjallarhorn because I dont have one 4- once you find the group go into the message friend option on the console 5- try to spell the extremely long and ridiculous name of the person in charge of the group. 6- wait for response 7-get no response 8- repeat steps 1 through 6 9- finally get response 10- get Into group 11- halfway through RANDOM group people go afk or group fails. 12- repeat steps 1 through 11 The way it should be...... 1- start game 2- push matchmaking button 3-play game 4-have fun The elite payers can still have their premade games, people can still solo and the none elites can have matchmaking we all win!!!! All I ask is for the option.
