Edit2: I’d rewrite this if I could do it over again. I should have made it more about him and how he inspired us. We didn’t do this out of pity. His perseverance is what’s inspiring, not that we did what we should have done.
Edit:Thanks to everyone giving us praise but the guy we helped is the hero. After getting kicked and mocked for weeks he never gave up! What I and the others did is what many of you would have done. What we all should do.
—————————
Today I ran into a 39 year old man with a head injury when joining a group of 5 strangers from LFG. It was immediately apparent that he had communication and motor impairments. He told us that he was in a car accident and that he routinely gets kicked from fireteams. Most days he doesn't even get to try the activities he signs up for or is ridiculed and made fun of to the point that he leaves.
Today the five of us decided we were gonna do whatever it took to help him get his first raid clear. We had to improvise quite a bit, as his motor skills and communication speed made this very difficult for him.
Gauntlet was a no-go because of the problems he has with jumping and memory so we found a baths checkpoint and used a 5 man clockwise rotation while he killed adds in the middle. Then we got to Calus and helped keep him up in the throne room while killing adds and punching psions. It took us an hour and a half to get through Calus but the sheer joy he expressed when he did was worth every bad experience I have had in this game.
Best of all, he really wanted the robes so when he didn't get them from the drop we knew he had only one chance: that insufferable sweeping bastard at the tower. But sure enough that broomed SOB gave it to him. He literally screamed when he got it. After my road trip, I am gonna help him get the Solstice Missions done. Funny, I think it was even more rewarding for the five of us than it was for him.
Moral of the story, have a heart. Don't mock people with disabilities and do your best to lend them a hand. It was the best decision I have made in awhile.

After reading this experience I have hope that the Destiny we knew and loved is making a return to it’s former glory. D1 wasn’t perfect, but people were having enough fun that they could appreciate it, faults and all. These kind of experiences make all the difference. Kudos to you and your team and congrats to your new found guardian friend. 👊🏼😁 May LEGOs never litter your path.

1 RispondiAwesome job man. All of you!! 👊🍻 He’ll remember the experience his whole life.

Good job!

Respect dude. Also Gauntlet is actually go. He never needs to jump, nor run. He could just move from plate to plate simply shooting the bottom most triangle. The platformer on his team will have to get down and punch psion. Also running part.4th round. You do the backwards strat. 1 guy runs to 1 and 2 forward. 1 guy runs backwards to 3. 1 guy runs backwards to 4. 3 guys (1 of them is the guy you helped) just wait at the finishing line for the orange orbs to appear. Requires no jumping. Just pick up the orbs and go to middle. It's very doable if the rest 5 of you are decent enough. i've did a 5 man Leviathan, so it's doable and quite easy.

Nice job! Being nice and helpful is always more rewarding than being mean. Karma x3

1 RispondiAs a father of a child with disabilities, I commend you. If only you where the majority of the public. From experience unfortunately, you are not. Thank you for posting this.

Awesome thing you guys did. I love posts like these!

A wonderful story to drown out some of the bullshit. At least, for a little while. I salute you, Guardian.

5 RisposteModificato da Philimanjaro105: 8/9/2018 2:35:49 PMEveryone giving the op shit needs to stfu. This fireteam had the patience of saints. The vast majority of you salty dolts are excluding people on lfg demanding that others “KWTD” or “must have whisper” or must have completions. And you know what? That’s fine. You’re free to demand that only top tier, experienced players join your fireteam on raids because NOBODY likes to spend hours on Calus. Most of you whine and complain and threaten to boot if the raid isn’t going perfect. Whatever. These guys did the opposite of you. They invited a struggling player, and they promised to struggle with him until he got his raid completion. It took a long goddamn time- and I admit I wouldn’t have had their patience. You armchair ethicists need to shut up. So what if OP posted it? He’s allowed to be proud of his accomplishment (and it *is* an accomplishment..) You self-righteous bozos act like you do good deeds all the time, but you opt to keep everything a secret just because it’s uncouth to brag? F*** right off with that bullshit. You don’t do anything.

Modificato da Truthiness_Inc: 8/10/2018 10:31:15 AMI saw the cutest little new guardian in destiny 1 and just had to shelter him from the violence of the veterans. Your story and way you portrayed him was heartwarming! Helping is it's own reward. Seeing, or in your case hearing, a person's happiness as a result of your own actions is just great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gd1mjkRvHs

1 RispondiThe comments to this thread is why Reddit Destiny page dumps all over the Bungie forum.

Feel good story, thank you 😊

3 RisposteOh yeah, that guy. I kicked him from my fireteam faster than you can say "the sweet potato is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the bindweed or morning glory family, convolvulaceae." No regrets, would do it again, and again.

What you sir are experiencing right now is called a feel good boner. All the nice internet peoples are going to stroke it for you. All the aholes and c_nts thinking they're being clever are merely bending over for your pleasure. Either ways, very good for you, your crew and the guy whose day you made :) What have I come too? SUCKING up to some rando on the net ;)

7 RisposteModificato da Silent Syzygy: 8/9/2018 9:55:08 PMI know it’s just a game, but that raid completion was probably pretty profound for that dude. He seems like a fighter for sure. Goes to show you should never take anything for granted. Well done sir and well done to the other four guardians that helped. This toxic community needs stories like this. It’s an inspiration for the rest of us.

This made my (Destiny-related) day. <3
