I am new to this board, and this game (since Christmas), so feel free to flame, I really don't mind. Sitting here on lunch so I figured I would introduce myself and give a short story about my experience last night. So everyone can laugh at me. Its ok, my son thinks its hilarious. He is a douchbag.
A little background: I'm old. 37. Probably too old to be playing Xbox. I used to be a WOW junkie and thoroughly enjoy video games in general. I have kids, lots of them. My oldest son spends all his free time on xbox. He is 18, in college, and has a good job. He has a ps4 and I bought him an xbox for Christmas. My wife and him seen how jealous I was so they were cool and turned around and bought me one. I bought a few games but made the mistake of starting with destiny. It is the only game I have played. I can't get off the damn thing. I work pretty much 6 days a week so my available game time is limited. I have a great wife, she is very understanding, and doesn't freak when I get home from work and start playing. Sometimes I can't get on until 9 or 10 because of responsiblilites, a 3 yr old, etc. So my playing usually extends well after midnight when I can. Needless to say, because of my schedule, and other time restraints, its taking me forever to level and grind. I have 1 character so far. A lvl 26 hunter. After a crap ton of grinding, bounties, strikes, etc. My son helps me on a lot of them to help me do the tougher ones for better rewards (although he always gets the drops, freaking rng) I finally got to a point where I felt like I was making some progress. My FWC is 2 so I am close to being able to get a new Scout rifle at 3 and I have 75% of the marks. My vanguard is now 2 1/2, I saved enough marks to buy 2 armor pieces. I bought the legs and upgraded them. I just was waiting to get to 3 so I can get the commendation to get the chest piece. Enough strange coins to get a helm from Xur and have leftovers when he comes. Getting ready to do the last Eris quest in the line to get the Guantlets. I literally just finished fully upgrading my Murmur from Eris, and my Harms way Machine gun drop (cost me all my ascendants). I only have a rare scout rifle but its leveled all the way up. SO this has taken forever...
Last night, after the kids were in bed (except for my 18yr old), after a 12hr day at work and a quick meal and shower I was ready to go kill Urzok for Eris. I teamed up with my son and had to turn in a bunch of bounties first so I put my unleveled weapons up for the upgrade experience points. We got to earth and scooter'd over to skywatch and lucky me there was the public event with Urzok! At that particular moment, the 3 yr old decided to wake up. She ran out to me screaming and crying. She wanted milk in her cup (my wife was on the treadmill) Now I'm freaking! Urzok just dropped down, I'm not ready, she threw her cup at me and hit me in the face, knocked my glasses off and my headset is now around my neck. She is pulling on me screaming and I need to kill Urzok. At this point I am sweating and freaking pretty bad. Its impossible to explain to a half asleep 3 yr old girl that Daddy has been looking for this guy forever and he needs his legendary guantlets. SO I tried to fight through the barrage of crys and pulls. I just need 30 seconds!! SHIT! I didn't switch my guns back! SO somehow in the madness I didn't switch em, I shard'd em! My fully leveled Murmur and Harms Way, and my fully leveled fav scout rifle. At that point I realized it Threw a nade at Urzok, threw my controller down, and got the milk. I walked to my sons room, borderline suicidal and told him I quit and why. He proceeded to laugh hysterically. Because he is a douchbag. Later he gave me some sympathy but it was too little too late. That's it I'm starting Dragons age........until..... this morning I woke up and all I could think about was how I could get out of this. Planning on how to use the strange coins, rethinking and planning how to get the armor I need to level and get a good weapon (I'm too low to run Raids for drops, I think? plus I have know idea who would let me on a team) I am even thinking of starting another Character to get another MurMur. Now I am scanning websites to look at vanguard weapons, Joining a forum, I must be crazy............

Editado por Froboy: 1/16/2015 5:25:49 AMThat's for this text wall, as you said. 10/10 wallpaper. [spoiler]jk sorry tl;dr[/spoiler]

Editado por MrFisherman35: 1/16/2015 5:45:49 AMIf you want and this is completely up to you and depends on what system your on... But if your on ps4 I am down to have you join me for Crota and I'll solo the first two parts hopefully to let you get a chance at a armor drop. It'll take 30 min max for both sections and all you have to do is die and you'll get the rewards. I feel bad for you because I've been there in the beginning before I had good gear. It takes awhile to get your marks and rep built up. Message me if your down. Mooseknukle35 Never mind I just read that it said something about Xbox
-

Such bs. If this is real, your son isn't the douchebag, you are.
-
I don't have kids, but let's be real, parents need some time to vent as well. If most of these teenagers' parents were being the type they expect you to be, they wouldn't be posting like this on a forum or using the vulgarity that they do. #growupteeniebabies.

Welcome to Destiny.
-
Would appreciate if you could separate it further into like 5-6 paragraphs. It's hard to read it from mobile app.
-

Guns come and go, i havent touched my murmur since the week the dlc came out. Hang in there guardian. I have sharded 4 vex, a ghorn, and an icebreaker simply because i have no room and they have dropped multiple times. Your time is limited but this game as annoying as it can be caters to "casuall" players. Do your weekly strikes, nightfall(when you level up), and those dailies are cruicial to leveling up at the beginning.

Dude props to u😝thnx for not quitting destiny needs ppl like u not douchey kids
-
That sucks man. We've all been there. I accidentally dismantled my Hunger of Crota last week. My stomach sank. The best advice I can give is just play on your schedule. Also, a destiny event timer app or web based client helps tremendously. Urzok and Blades usually appear on the same rotation, sometimes right before, or at the same time of each public event on earth and the moon. (Urzok is only in Skywatch).
