The title of this post was originally going to be "I accidentally killed aksis and got the outbreak prime quest" but i figured since this is #Destiny there's no way in hell i'm saying that
Yes this is one of those motivational stories(you'll probably click away the moment you read that.... And somehow you're gonna make a comment saying that you did that)but whatever
So every now and then i stop by one of my friends's house, we chill and have fun, he doesn't play destiny that often with an excuse of
"i don't have that many people to play with" which i casually respond to him with "bullshit" and we laugh it off
i take the controller, hop into destiny and look at his friend list
"oh hey these guys are playing wrath of the machine" to which my buddy responds with
"yeah so? "
-" should i join them? They're missing one"
-"yea yeah whatever" then he goes back to staring at his phone, and me being an idiot i casually joined them because why not? I'm getting kicked anyway... Right?
I look away then i look at the screen as my teammates are reviving me
"OH GOD IT'S AKSIS! NOPE NOPE AND IT'S PHASE 2 OH CUTE NO NEED TO KICK ME I'M GOING TO ORBIT" but then again i would've been kicked before i load into the raid right?
I hear teammates saying
"hey do you have a mic? "
" i think he does"
Ok so we're killing aksis i think i know how to do this :D i'm ready
Then my friend says
"dude pop your mic"
I reply with "nah there's no need to"
Then i hear teammate saying:"do you have a mic or not?"
I look back at my buddy and say:"okay you're gonna be the one speaking with them and i'm going to be playing, then he gives me a scary menacing look and i can't recall what did he say but it was something like "Stfu here's my headset, you're killing aksis...... Bitch"
Quick confession, i never ever used my mic i had one but i never used it, it's social anxiety and i got used to it, i killed atheon, crota, oryx without one and i thought this will be no different i do realize the destiny community hates people with no mics but i've had a few friends that accepted me this way and i guess if they ever found out they're gonna be so mad at me because i wasted their opportunity to clear the golgoroth challenge mode
Anyway
I plug that mic for the first time....... IT WAS SOO AWKWARD (i apologies for any cringe this might cause) and i was silent most of the time all i did was call out stuff like
"void middle", "empowered middle", "i've got bubble in the back" but the teammates i played with were sooo chill and they were having so much fun i never felt like this before it
A fireteam without squeakers? what the hell is going on?
After the second wipe the guy i joined asks me:"how many times have you cleared this raid? " i was so afraid to answer but there's no use in lying so i told him
" actually this is my first time"
And he replies with: "ohh haha ok you guys ready?"
......wtf... You're not gonna yell at me?...umm ok
after the 3rd or 4th wipe we killed aksis...yay?
2 seconds later...
" oh wait wait don't go to orbit we still have the last monitor"
"ooh that's right"
I chuckled and said... "wha what? What monitor?" they lead me the way and lookey here it's the chest that gives you the siva engine :D
When i opened the chest teammates were like
"oh wow... "
"... that's just"
"ahaha"
I never knew people who didn't work on the activating the raid monitors can get the chest but... Ok?...wow
Sooo... After all that why is this important to me?
Well aside from the fact that i got over my social anxiety, if you look at my profile you'll notice something, i'am a legacy guardian :) a guy who barely played rise of iron let alone the raid but it's all because of me watching so many people clearing the raid and the teammates i played with instructed me so well
And this is my first time getting carried in a raid, i'm used to carrying vanilla players through their first vault of glass run
Am i going to buy a ps4 and rise of iron? Hell yeah man and definitely going to solo aksis one day(if charge lockout doesn't get patched) but that's a story for another time
[b]Tl;dr[/b] : hi, i'am cake-6, a ps3 guardian and i cleared wrath of the machine for the first time skipping vosik and the siege engine and i got over my social anxiety.... Yep

There are plenty of people in Destiny whose main goal is to have fun, the most productive and effective players Ive met are the ones who play for fun. Glad you got to meet some of those.

2 commentairesYeah yeah cool story bro but that aside i came here to know what flavor of cake you are?
-
Congrats! Hope you can upgrade to PS4 soon!
-
2 commentairesI've got social anxieties too bro. Shits not fun, I've been through that but the more parties and different people you talk to, the more easier it'll be to forget your anxieties was even there. Good job on your first run bro.
-
Sorry, let me just call in a titan
-
2 commentairesWait, you played the raid without owning rise of iron?
-
3 commentairesI always had the mic-less one go 6th on gaze rotation. No need to talk, just shoot and run around to the front. Feel bad for your team if they didn't figure a way around that and get that challenge done. Congrats on getting your friend his Outbreak Prime quest...on that character at least. Good luck on your upgrade.
-
3 commentairesI wanna know how you beat Aksis for your first attempt at him in only four or five tries. Most groups I've joined, we've wiped 10+ times before we either figured it out or everyone left.
-
Still never done it because people can't jump

Well done dude. This post gave me the feels.

Im enjoying the replies of the illiterate.
-
Awesome story man. When you upgrade to next gen let me know, I'd be more than happy to run a raid with you.

Awesome. These are the stories we need to hear more of. GJ Destiny community

Congratulations on overcoming your anxiety problem :) To that end though, I have to say, you didn't get "carried" in the WotM raid, you got carried in the final battle because that's where you joined. I hope you don't take this as a dick comment, it's not intended as such. But it's the reality of it, it's how I read your post. Good job on beating Aksis though! I hope the rest of the raid serves you well when you get a PS4 :)

Modifié par brandon : 11/18/2016 7:39:10 PMGG. I've got some pretty bad social anxiety myself.... haven't talked during a game since I first got my xbox one (via my kinect) and that's only because a team killer on BF4 really ticked me off... :/ anyway, I've done all of the new raid just haven't been able to finish off aksis faze 2.

2 commentairesFunny enough my last raid team accidentally carried a person at aksis. Ok, we were down a person so we looked one up on lfg, got one pretty quick. It was a kid, no big deal. We start the fight and he dies almost immediately, so we figured we'd just grab ammo and super and wipe. But instead we just kept going... and going... and going... and going until we killed him. The new kid didn't even need to lift a finger and he got rewards, we just laughed that we 5 manned it. But hey, at least the kid was a good corpse.
