I fell in love with destiny the moment I got my hands on my copy I never played it in year one The taken king ads were everywhere and I knew some of my friends had the game. Sadly, none of them felt they should 'rebuy' the game (buy The Taken King) and moved on: so I didn't get to play with any of them. I went to tower after making my first character and running through the prologue. Upon arrival i thought "Holy shit everyone's level 40!?!" I was so amazed that I did not find any one else below level 40 in the tower. Mid-mission, in one of the first missions, I found out what the spark of light did And thralls began falling all around as my new rare shotgun blasted them. I was passed halfway to being level 40, just like those I saw. The game never failed to entertain Not once did I feel bored throughout completing all of the story, despite the games story being repetitive. I fell in love with my first purple, the strangers rifle, and then again with my second purple, my questing beast. I eventually reached 40, and later discovered crucible. I lost my shit when I saw that loadouts were constant in PvP and PvE. Bungie had captured my heart with another game. Oh crucible. My first match was skirmish with a friend, and quickly I discovered the shotguns place in PvP. Strikes dropped all kinds of good gear And then they didn't. I was 306 light, I could go any higher, unless I did the raid. Boy did I struggle. Everything I loved about destiny was still there. I made friends. I learned words like "wipe", "cheese", and unfortunately: "redbar" I did all kinds of crazy shit From accidentally double headshot sniping to ending my first nightfall with a tether-nova bomb-fist of havoc combo. I got carried through my first nightfall at 248 Upon completing it I was 270 and had gotten my first exotic The super good advice My teammates of course were mad they didn't get an exotic And boy was I a beast with heavy. Now, I'm 335. I've done the raid, and even did the other two raids just to do them. End game became my reality Maxed all subclasses on all three characters. And I felt a sharp pain in my heart. "This is it... End game" I thought And then I heard about rise of iron. To all of you at bungie, to all of you who played with me, to all of you who teabagged me, and who did raids with me, and who stood by my side in crucible and trials, who played with me in prison of elders, to those who randomly danced with me at tower, and to all the friends I've made in this amazing experience; thank you. I look forward to rise of iron, and I know the team at bungie will not fail to amaze. Being a year two player, I never got to see a raid I used to do all the time become irrelevant, and I never got to see the confusion and commotion as everyone chaotically tries to figure out the new raid. So I can't wait And for any new players; I hope you all find your own adventures and make memories in this amazing experience. Go on, become legend [i]And by the way; I'm sorry if i fusion rifle you.[/i]
