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............
I'm on Xbox one

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).

Thanks for the laugh!

1 Respuestai LOVE how all the kids on here with 0 -blam!-ing responsibility are bashing you for '' putting your game before your kid '' it was a cup of milk ffs , some people on here need a serious life adjustment

I'm on 360 and have two jobs myself and a fine woman by my side, so I definitely understand. I would be willing to help you through raids and whatnot if you need the help. Gamer Tag is same as username.
-
Definitely need to get the rapier scout rifle for crucible.. Awesome scout by far
-
If you were on PS4 I would definitely help you out and bring you through the Vault of Glass, but sadly, we are on opposing consoles. You could probably find somebody who would be willing to drag you through the Vault of Glass though. Sorry to hear that! Good luck.
-
Oh damn. I'm the same age with young kids so I totally can relate. LOL Hit me up on XB1 any time. My GT is the same as on here. I'll be on in about an hour and need to do the weeklies still
-
wow....lol...a christmas n00b, AND you recycled all your best weapons.... christ, man..you're having a bad day....i can say i know your pain though. i've recycled by accident. once you get past the "omg, wtf did i just do" stage, then you get into the "oh, goddamnit, son of a bitch!" phase, and then you pick yourself up, dust off, and recover.....with the help of friends. you sound like a decent enough fellow. if you were on PS4, i'd extend you an offer of membership in my clan...sadly, you're not, so i'll wish you the best of luck in recovering from this most unfortunate accident.

Tl:dr if you think the game is bad now you shoulda played at launch you would have quit. How likely are people on this forum to care wether you quit or not?? Answer were looking for is 0

Don't stress man. The gauntlets are vendor quality. I did the quest on my hunter, dismantled the gauntlets, and scrapped the Urn of Sacrifice bounty on my alts.

Keep your character, create a new one. Get him past all the story lines get the murmur on him do all the TDB missions then vault the murmur go back on your main grab the murmur finish the mission. My advice for great items run the roc strikes for rare engrams you have a possibility of getting legendary if not exotic items. Even when you rank up your cryptarch you have the chance of getting again legendary engrams which can turn into an exotic if your lucky. Just "don't give up guardian your not dead yet."

1 RespuestaIf you are cautious you could do a normal vault run for some purple guns. They won't be 331 though

3 RespuestasGood god, If something ever needed a tl;dr, it's this.

Lol, that was a great story, man! Welcome to destiny, the game that will make your newly bought games collect dust for a very long time! May RNGesus bless you with loot!

It's ok man.! Breathe and start again! I'm a Lvl 32 Titan. I would be more than happy to help you out. Gt Is same as above. Add me on xbox one if you ever want to team up! Goodluck and play on!!

That sucks that you lost your weapons. I think you should have kept your cool and got the milk all the while telling yourself "Urzok will come back sometime." Rarely, me and my friends Tow newbies through the Vault of Glass. I am sure you'll find a team that is willing to help you through it. Happy hunting!

Editado por weaver: 1/16/2015 4:07:12 AMAs a sort of comfort to sharding your weapons. It takes longer to get and level the Thorn than 10 legendary weapons. Unless you have a lot of experience with FPS. You will find out if you get that bounty. Since there is a limit to vault space I have sharded 20 legendary weapons I did not want to in the last 2 weeks. Every time I get a new weapon, I need to dismantle another. Kind of sad.

1 RespuestaYou're the douchebag. Put the controller down, breath and get the milk. Its only a game and he comes back every 10 minutes.

3 RespuestasEditado por Recoil Hk: 1/16/2015 1:55:54 AMA clarification for the people with zero sense of humor or just don't get a good fun relationship with their adult kid: I didn't verbally call him a douchbag, I said he IS a douchbag. But for the record, I would call him that, to his face, in fun, and he would laugh, because that's the kind of good fun hearted relationship we have. If you can think of a less abusive insult for me to use, in fun, I will be happy to take it into consideration. Feel free to post suggestions and I will try them out on him tonight and update you on the results.

........they always come back . Check destinypublicevents web site for urzok. Significantly cut your waiting time. Bring arc damage he's got a good shield. Search groups for casual gamers such as your self. There is strength in numbers. Spam public events for van marks and buy some sweet gear. Good luck to you.

4 RespuestasUpdate. And a good one. The traveler is looking out for me, or bungie cares and hooked me up ( not realistic but would be nice ) my son just helped me literally run through the last quest for Eris gauntlets. We ran past everything to the end, beat it, and I got two blue drops. A weapon and a helmet engram. Helmet was trash, gun turned out to be a harms way! Same one I shard'd only this one is void. I haven't checked the perks yet but I'm totally stoked and loving the karma right now. I'm laying with my daughter watching Frozen and as soon as it's all clear I'm jumping back on and im gonna start grinding or do a strike. I'm so happy and reborn. Cant wait until this weekend. Xur will be here and I have 14 strange coins, I can turn in my Eris quest for gauntlets, and then maybe I'll be 27 so I can start to do good stuff for drops. My future's so bright, I gotta wear shades! Oh and I'm super close to 4 with the cryptarch so maybe he will send me something and I'll get lucky!

Hello, fellow gamer and dad here. I will start by saying that real life comes first. Be it your wife, kids, pets, or whatever; the game is repetitive enough that no opportunity is ever truly missed. The same cannot be said of life. I'm on east coast time and often play from 2-4am due to my work schedule. Feel free to send a message or invite if you'd like to play. I'd advise you to find a clan, preferably a fun, like minded and scheduled one so you can always find people to play with. The community has done great things to make the game accessible.
