(edited) Haters Give Me Strength

Feel free to have that music play while you're reading. That's how I'm typing this. - - So, I suppose I should say before I continue, that this is going to be a long read filled with some emotion and memories. Got that out of the way. Good talk, lol ... *sighs* I came to Destiny off the Bungie namesake, having played Halo in middle school. While the original story didn't really sell me, I figured they were just shaking off the cobwebs from a new I.P. - - I was too busy trying to get lvl 30 in Vault of Glass to care much about The Stranger. When Dark Below came out, I found my first clan in Dobby Knockers. (Sorry if the name is censored, it doesn't mean anything.) Lots of good runs, patches, glitches, the old days. Didn't work out though, but I was logging those hours like no game ever before. In House of Wolves, I left the clan above, and met some people I added on Facebook. Been friends with them until last week. Probably what started me on the thought of making my last Destiny 1 post. But that's not really what's important here, it's the journey. - - I had saved up so much materials, I ended up banging to 34 first week. It was some good times. - - One of the best eras ever in Destiny. It was in Year 2 with Taken King that the negative press, the failed story, and lack of developer initiative started getting to me. I'd get really, REALLY, angry sometimes. I've been banned at least a dozen times since this writing (on the forums, I've never cheated, for any reason, in-game) - - and some people might remember my MANY names over the years, and the bans from Year 2. In Rise of Iron, with year 3 fresh, I finally got Max Grimoire, and have maintained it since this day. With Platinum Trophy on all updates, and Max Grimoire, I could really say I had done absolutely everything. 1,000,000% / 1,000,000% completion. - - It is a love/hate relationship between me and Destiny, but I can't deny what it's given me in return. As I sit at home, late at night, about to get dinner ready; I think back on the good times, INSTEAD of the bad times. 1.) My first legendary item of all time was The Cloak of No Tomorrow, from Future War Cult. Looked more like a Scarf, and I've kept it to this day. 2.) My first Exotic was the Alpha Lupi, (for my Hunter) which boosted me up to level 29. 3.) My first raid completion was Vault of Glass (duh lol), and I got the Praetorian Foil on my first try ever. But I figured I'd need those shards for Fatebringer or Vision of Confluence, and deleted it. I never saw it again until this update. 4.) My first solo of Crota's End on Bladedancer. Watched my friend do it a ton of times. This was back when "1-Swording" was absolutely impossible, it took hard guts to get it done. 5.) Killing Skolas *WITHOUT* using the "infinite" Gjallarhorn/Bubble method. Some people forget what it used to be like, with the trouble of that "cheese" nerfing the strongest weapon that Destiny has ever seen. 6.) Got my Year 2 Triumph shirt like a boss. Customized it for my lady friend, and she wears it to this day. 7.) Max Grimoire. Becoming Legend. Winning Bungie Bounty. ... Finally standing at the top of the top-most mountain of the game. With no higher peak possible. 8.) - - Saying goodbye. - - To the forums at least. For some, the forums are a safe haven of knowledge and community. For others, it is the toxic dumpster where all the vile and hatred spews. I've been on that end as well. - - Will I be quitting Destiny until Destiny 2? - - Fat chance lol. But I am saying goodbye to the forums. - - This is the last update of the game, and even with all the cool stuff in it, - - friends are still turning against each other, and toxicity flows rampant over just about everything. _ _ _ _ _ I plan to leave on a high note. To those with happiness for this game, I'd say your time is not wasted. The adventure is epic, like no other you will ever meet. I wish you well. And to those, maybe like me, who at times just hate the -blam!- out of this game. - - Just remember the good times. You're still here. You're reading this right now. - - There must have been something, anything good that happened that kept you here. - - - Those memories right there are worth it. *sighs* *deep breath* Lol. Gotta be the damn music. Got a few tears, man. Cheers, this is (Mouse), signing off for the last time. ~Ess (edit) i was fine leaving this alone, even though nobody ever commented on it, but when i saw someone came, disliked, and left for no reason, got a little fire in me to keep going on the forums, this time, just positivity and optimism
