First off this is a love letter to my experiences and my time with one of my most played/favourite games ever. It’s not for you, but if you enjoy the read then awesome. This game was my go to this last decade. I love the characters, the space magic, how powerful we’ve felt over the years, the stories, the gun play, the exotics, and in recent years the dungeons, the lore and making up my own stories and exotics. Before Destiny officially dies, I’m thinking of cycling through my favourite exotic weapons and builds and then I guess signing off..I don’t think I could truly sign off (delete my characters) but I’ll just not log in again. I love this universe so much and over the years I have thought about how I would improve it. So I started writing stories. Mostly exotic weapons that I dreamed of, with lore stories to back them up. [b]In my world of Destiny:[/b] -Marcus Ren created an underground Sparrow Racing League on Neomuna. -Drifter gets Ada-1 to make a Void/Solar Trace Rifle for the Guardian from the remains of Variks’ pet servitor from the ‘Warden of Nothing’ strike. (Name: Old Friend - Exotic Void/Solar Trace Rifle) -The Guardian finds a Metro Prime inspired Trace rifle in the depths of Titan on a deep dive mission. Sloan does not approve. (Name: Metropolis - Exotic Strand Trace Rifle) -Nimbus creates an exotic Strand rocket launcher to get the guardians to like him… (Name: Neo Algorithm - Exotic Strand Rocket Launcher) -Rasputin leaves Ana a Golden Age Orbital Strike rocket launcher for the Guardian before he sacrifices himself. (Name: Union’s Departure - Exotic Solar Rocket Launcher) -Xur hand delivers a weapon for the Guardian and drops it off at Banshees workshop. The Guardian receives the package and to their surprise Banshee shows them that the Vanguard finally signed off and approved of a firing range underneath Banshees workshop. (Name: MA5B Assaulter - Exotic Kinetic/Solar Submachine Gun) -Banshee builds a rocket launcher capable of latching onto barrier champs and detonating when they activate their shields. (Name: ABi Takedown - Exotic Kinetic Rocket Launcher) -During the Red War, a Titan gets captured with a Fallen Vandal. The scavenger rebuilds a Sweet Business onto an Artium War Rig which works in tandem with Cerberus+1. (Name: Hyperion+1 Titan Exotic Chest Piece reworked Sweet Business mounted onto Artium War Rig, works with Cerberus+1) -Tess Everis gifts a Hunter an exotic helmet that pairs with Borealis which utilizes Stasis and Strand rounds. (Name: Prism Optics - Hunter Exotic works with Borealis) -During a Vanguard meeting, where they are discussing a exotic Fusion/Trace rifle that harnesses the power of transcendence, Marcus Ren interrupts to remind the Vanguard that the Guardian community needs to be inspired again, they need the return of the SRL. (Name: Three Kings Might - Exotic Transcendence Fusion/Trace Rifle) -The Vanguard present the Guardian with their very own quarters: a private hanger room for their ships and sparrows, an armoury room to keep all their weapons and armour. And storage for all the artifacts and treasures they acquired over their vast adventures. -My most triumphant story is, Deep in the depths of the Vault of Glass, the Guardian and their Ghost stumble upon a rogue Gatelord who plans on escaping from the vex singular mind. Along the way they come across a group of Hydras tasked with guarding this rogue Gatelord. The Guardian mistakenly releases the Gatelord and the Hydras present to them an exotic arc pulse rifle capable of destroying the Gatelord before it escapes. (Name: Hydra’s Sacrifice - Exotic Arc Pulse Rifle Name: Gatelord’s Wrath - Exotic Solar Pulse Rifle) There’s a few more, these were so fun to imagine and create. I’m going to miss Destiny. I am glad to have finally gotten a dream weapon like the Praxic Blade. It’s been awhile since I’ve had this much fun racking up kills with a weapon. Thank you Destiny, thank you for the vast world you are and I’m so glad to have been playing this last decade. [b]Quotes and things:[/b] [i]-Guardians make their own fate. -Become Legend. -Eyes up Guardian. -Mara Sov bows to no one. -Hmm, would I be more useful with a larger chassis? ..Right.. in any case, Guardian that was impressive work. -Fingertips on the surface of my mind!?! -No golden age ray guns? No sorry. Well that’s okay I guess, come on back guardian at least you got some loot -I’m done burying my friends. And you won’t have to..Uldren Sov, is mine. -How about Gambit? You’re just standing there? -The recruits have no excuses. Look at you! At what one Guardian can do! With nothing but your Ghost, Your weapon, and your Light! -Call the Praxic Order! Call the Thanatonauts! The Gensym Scribes! Call EVERYONE - so they can witness you! Select application: Ballistic engagement. Entrenching tool. Avionics trawl. Troll smasher. Stellar -blam!-. List continues. ...a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into... Subroutine IKELOS: Status=complete. MIDNIGHT EXIGENT: Status= still in progress.[/i]
