I'm 73 - was top scorer in an Iron Banner match!
Yes, I'm really 73 in a couple of weeks and Destiny is the first video game I ever played. I was a 2014 Christmas nube and have played almost every day since late January of 2015. I'm not very good because of my reflexes and eyesight. I also have periferal neuropathy, a nerve condition that causes your hands and feet to go numb. I played alone for 8 months because I had zero skills and didn't want to be the guy that people didn't want on their fire team; bad KTD ratio. Eventually I got better ( thanks to gameguy1973) and recently I started going to Iron Banner but I was never able to complete the bounty requiring you to get the highest score - until tonight. So don't get discouraged if things don't go your way. If an old fart like me can do this you good players can do anything.
Edit: Just wanted to take a minute and thank you guardians for all the nice comments, support, friend requests and invitations to clans. I'll try to respond where appropriate. To you few doubters I'll try to post something on YouTube to prove my age. Got to get the camera back from my daughter.
Edit: Didn't need the camera, I used my iPad to record and post to YouTube. We old dogs can learn new tricks.

I have a few older generation friends I help cause no one wants to play with them. It's actually nice when they get over excited after they do something they never thought they would be able to do because of their illnesses. One of them is 71 so I believe you bout your age. I hope I'm able to retire and still be playing games at that age. Take it easy bro.

From a sprightly 51 year old well done what an inspiration

I've got a coworker around you age. He's a real beauty. Last Christmas we were chatting over a couple of beers and he asked me about the video games I play. He sounded pretty interested so I gave him my old 360 and my old games so he could try it out. I also warned him, foolishly, that getting used to the controls would be challenging at first. Well, John used to be a fighter pilot and figured it out quicker than I ever did. Last we talked he's getting an Xbone. Congrats on high score! It feels good!

1 OdpowiedźWell done. I'm middle aged and have dyspraxia so my reflexes are also not very fast and at first I sucked and just played solo. But I worked at it and found a play style that suits me in PvP and I can get through the Raid on Heroic. Now I always get that Top Place bounty done on all 3 chars every IB And my terrible K/D that was 0.59 after Y1 is slowly creeping up...and one day it will hit 1.0, I know it's gonna happen

2 OdpowiedziSo? You offer no proof of age, granted that's hard to do. In truth this is attention seeking on the level I would expect a millennial to pull

6 OdpowiedziSimilar experience here @ 38, I have ms & have been partially blind in my right eye for the last week with random numbing & I think I'm doing my average so far :) Finally finished last month's top score bounty last night with the warlocks on ps4 & 360!

6 OdpowiedziA honest question , how was life back in the 1950s+? Was it better then now?
-
Congrats! Keep at it man!
-
1 OdpowiedźYeah but if there are 4 people going 3/12 on your team that's pretty tough to do
-
1 OdpowiedźFunny how many mature players this game has. A shame the same can't be said about the community of mostly little whiny kids. Regardless, keep on playing sir. There are indeed worse habit - I mean, HOBBIES, than Destiny.

1 OdpowiedźGood job guardian!! I would run with you no matter your skill level, cause I simply don't care! I think it adds to the excitement of trying to survive while reviving/defending a teammate!
-
Good job guardian! :)
-
2 OdpowiedziI think it is hilarious that you are 73 and you are wearing Eternal Warrior on your Titan. So awesome.
-
Kind of sad you actually needed to provide proof for some people to believe you, regardless, great work. Keep doing what you're doing!
