Things you did as a new Guardian, but were too embarrassed to admit.

It's that time of year again, Lizard squad is going to ruin a lot of Christmas' for players, but with that said, we'll be welcoming with open arms, many holiday noobs. It's during this time we should reflect on the stupid shit we've done, and how we've grown since then. When I first started, I thought motes of light were incredibly tough to get, so they must be extremely valuable, and I tried not to use them for months. I kept waiting until the Speaker had a cool piece of gear to get..but that never happened. After 6 months, I probably had like 30. Yup.. When doing linear strikes, I would constantly get lost. Especially on Sepkis Prime. I was dumbfounded by the Nightfall blue flame. I thought they were employees or admins. I kept (see: hoarded) green weapons, because I thought they might be useful. My first exotic was Plan C, after getting one or two more, I kept them all--thinking they had different stat rolls. I thought heavy weapon synths were a scam. I thought buying an engram was a waste, especially a yellow one that was random. As a Warlock, I only wanted gear that had high strength, intellect wasn't important. I didn't finish the VoG until a week after CE dropped. I would constantly bring my fire team back to orbit by accident. I thought that proximity chat was a thing, and that no one had mics, and that's why they couldn't talk. For whatever reason I went to patrol..a lot, rather than doing story missions, thinking I'd level up faster. When a public event happened, I got super excited and thought I was witnessing something incredibly rare. And there you have it, some things that I did as a noob. It's good to reflect on where you've come from. We need to realize not everyone will know the mechanics of a strike, or know the best way to level up. Take advantage of the refer a friend program, be the guiding light for another Guardian. Edit 1: If you're on PS4 and ever need help, my Bungie name is my PSN ID. I'm glad to see people having fun with this topic.

  • I didn't meet Xur until week 8; and didn't work out that he moved around the tower until Week 11... I let my friend talk me out of buying MIDA because he said I needed armor more "to raise your light level"...

  • It was a dark day for my Titan.. I had just procured my ship and had made my way to the wondrous splendor of the tower.. I hit all the shops and met with the vanguard elders at what I dubbed then and still refer to as "the tables three".. I was entrusted with a quest.. my ship needed a hyperdrive and by the travellers light I was going to get it.. I immediately made my way to the hanger area and began the impossible task of boarding a ship.. no one in the hanger could help me.. there were no doors or buttons.. the only glimmer of hope we're the dead ghosts I found and thus kept my spirits up.. for a time.. It made no sense.. clearly my Titan had work to do! A galaxy to save.. a darkness to quell and a hyperdrive that at this point seemed the most daunting of tasks!! How?? How does one board a ship and leave this once splendorous tower?? I spoke with everyone.. I even saw where I could procure a new ship.. one with a hyperdrive.. I sold everything I had to sell.. but I still had nothing.. only my soul was left to offer up.. there was no way off this rock.. nowhere to jump down to in the hanger and after a series of suicide jumps off the towers main vista desperately trying to latch on or somehow by sheer force of will commandeer a ship.. any ship at this point.. I was vexed.. Now it was time to go.. my kids needed to be pick up.. my wife angered at my procrastination.. and my own frustration had escalated the situation into what I would comfortably call a powder keg.. it was time to log off.. I summoned my ghost to "save my progress" thinking that was something I had to do.. And there it was.. "go to orbit".. A piece of me died that day..

            • First time ran VoG had no clue. Got lost going down to Templar. Got detained and used a rocket launcher. Got lost going down to Gorgons maze. You aren't supposed to shoot the Gorgons? Died a million times on jump puzzle Got teleported and didn't know how to use relic. Didn't stay together. Made it back but blind. Rest of group kills Atheon. I get chatter white.

              • Dismantled all my strange coins when I started getting legendary stuff because I thought a rare material was for rare armor or weapons and ascendant shards were like strange coins for legendary armor.

                • Played this game for a year before I realized you could shorten your jump by pushing A again . The whole time kept trying to jump on stuff with full jump. Friend saw me keep over jumping things all the time and said " you know you can push A again to stop your jump" and then there was silence for few seconds and the light bulb went off and I replied " god I'm stupid"

                  • It took me weeks to figure out you can press A to cancel warlock glide Long story short I spent most of my time in the story missions floating like a butterfly

                    • I thought you couldn't warp to your ship while underground and spent hours lost on the Moon. I figured it out eventually.

                    • I was convinced the only way to get ascendant shards was from public events so I would spend hours on patrol waiting for them. I also thought the fastest way to level up was crucible so I played crucible a ton but I'm still terrible at it haha

                      • I wasn't aware you could crouch while walking in the tower. I bought my first rocket launcher as a low level and saw it said heavy weapon. after buying it, for some reason I was in crouch position as I walked away from gunsmith. I thought that meant I was carrying a heavy weapon. Lol

                      • Every time I did Archon Priest strike I'd get lost inside that mountain/hill and go round and round in circles becoming increasingly agitated because I couldn't see a way out. Also used to get lost in the cave part just before the Nexus I dismantled the result of my first Legendary Weapon engram (DO sniper Broken Promise) by mistake. It never dropped again... VOG I am the slowest at descending into the Gorgon's labyrinth and people would get bored waiting and mess around getting exposed to Gorgons and I'd die halfway down the crevass and have to start again. Took me months to be able to climb back up the rock ledges at Gorgon's chest. People would point and shoot but still couldn't do it. Would have to skip the chest or once I just quit without saying anything on mic First few times at PoE 28 I died descending the shaft to treasure room and missed opening the loot because ran out of time. First time I tried PoE 32 we couldn't get past round 4 and I thought I'd never be able to do 32 never mind 34 BUT I persevered and overcame all challenges, beat Skolas before the deadline and got my Moments of Triumph. Still love the game in spite of Bungie's bungling

                      • Doing patrol for like an hour and thinking this is very long mission - the blue flame around guardians I thought it was a special perk but it turned out to be just nightfall experience buff - thinking partners could pick up my engrams and heavy ammo so I would yell -blam!- off that's my engram and everyone went crazy looking for it -
