Ranting Lightbearer

I rant about Destiny. Maybe some other games too.

Made a new blog under the name Disappointing Yeetlord so that I can turn this into a blog that's purely about getting very pissed off at random shit in Destiny for shits and giggles.

After finally getting Jötuun, I took a break from Destiny and played some FFXIV

Iwent onto FFXIV today. There’s a new raid that was introduced last week and I had yet to get any loot from it since I have shit RNG luck. Most of last week’s runs were smooth, with the exception of my first one on patch 5.1’s release day (and the second run too but everyone was still kinda learning tbh). So, feeling confident in my ability to tank (since I’ve only got Dark Knight to 80 so far, and have now taken it through the raid multiple times), I queue for the Copied City for that swanky new NieR: Automata loot (play NieR: Automata btw. It’s really good).

Except the queue took over an hour.

No big deal, just listened to music for ages while watching healers and dps pop out of the queue every now and again, until eventually we get a full group of 24 players.

Hoo boy, was it an absolute shitshow. For some reason I have lost my ability to play the game well, and so has most of the other alliance members/alliances. All but the Engels and trash mob encounters had near-wipe-scenarios because all of us were just so shit today. All three of us tanks were almost always at war with each other for aggro (‘cause there was no communication on who would be MT etc. Also we’re all just really shit today of all days), healers were dying left and right, DPS in a state of panic etc. An absolute mess where we all did fucking abhorrently, and I’ll be the first to say that I was doing fucking awful for the first time in a long while (the last time I did this bad was closer to the 5.0 launch while I was trying to re-learn my tank skills and figuring out gunbreaker. I would rather not recall this memory).

Thankfully, we somehow never wiped even once. Which is a miracle considering we had entire alliances dead at several points. The healers were the real MvPs for dealing with our absolute fucking tomfoolery of an alliance raid run. Seriously, I apologise for being so incompetent for no good reason, and that you lot had to deal with us.

Seriously, there is no excuse for someone like me who has been playing tank since I started to be performing this poorly. The poor DPS and healers didn’t deserve this cruel fate, and I hope that all your future runs are blessed by RNGeesus to the greatest degree for putting up with this shit until the end.

To whomever designed this week’s memory pursuit:

Fuck you. Fuck you. You are fucking disgusting. Fucking bows in the Crucible. Bows. Fucking hell, might as well walk in with no fucking weapon because it’s about as fucking useful. I genuinely want to fucking impale the fuck.

I mean sure, technically it can be done without crucible or gambit, but there is no control over whether you make any progress. It’s fucking RNG, and I don’t like it when quests and bounties depend on that.

Also can be done with snipers, but that implies my aim is good enough for bows to be useful, and that I can actually kill the other sniper before they get me. And that the PvE path wasn’t RNG dependant.

Gambit was designed by Satan himself

You cannot convince me otherwise.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

Remove the Crucible

I’m fuckig done. Remove the cunting Crucible I want to fucking impale a fuck on a fuckig rustyfucking fuakvyhdkdosx

It is not fun. It is not fun. Solo queuing is bullshit. OEM is bullshit. Everything is bullshit. Nothing is rewarding. Nothing is worth this.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

Just had a Crucible match with no audio

Bungie pls

edit: sound straight up broke throughout the game what

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

Moon’s full

So D2 is on Steam now

... and I cannot get it to download at all. I had it fucking preloaded and it ended up breaking and stuck trying to download non-existent files that would take more than a year to download (wtf?), so I uninstalled and tried to reinstall it.

Now, it thinks that most of the game is already downloaded and tries to download the last 5 GB but breaks after it downloads 2 GB. So yeah. Fuck.

Mayhem has arrived

And with it, the urge to off myself has increased a million fold due to all the shadowshot and thousand cuts hunters spamming their abilities faster than literally everyone else.

Nothing screams absolute hell more than hearing twenty successive shadowshots go off within ten seconds and being stuck at your spawn lest you get tethered and fucked ruthlessly by the enemy team and their insta-replenish knives of death.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

You ever just have the best Crucible run in your life and mercy-rule 3 teams in a row just to have it all end once the game realises that you should probably fight people who can fight back?

I may never get a 6.5 K/D in PvP ever again and I do need to not be put in a team that curbstomps, but damn it feels real nice to not be fodder for the true Crucible gods for once and get a taste of their power.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

With cross-save, I can now get screencaps without having to go through several steps to get them from PS4 to PC.

While that is a plus, the downside is that I now get absolutely shat on even more in the Crucible. I have yet to go into Gambit, but I don’t think I want to after the Solstice grind from hell.

So here’s my Scavenger-esque hunter and my dank max-light warlock  to distract from my suffering ;D

Nearly got Outbreak Perfected the other day.

Managed to kill the boss at the last second but still had one vandal left. Was simultaneously gutted and hyped as fuck at the same time.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

I haven’t played Destiny in several days

Final Fantasy XIV is consuming me. Send help. I have become engulfed in the hunt for the Lightwardens.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

It had to be done.

Oh yeah, I play FFXIV btw.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

I just got put into a Gambit match that was in progress and my team was losing by a margin of almost dead primeval to 0 motes.

I consider the lockout of leaving early a reward rather than a punishment. You’re locking me out? FUCKING AWESOME. WON’T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS SHIT. I MEAN, I’VE NEVER LEFT A GAMBIT MATCH BEFORE SO THIS IS A NEW EXPERIENCE. I DON’T THINK I’LL PLAY THIS FUCKING ABYSMAL EXCUSE OF A GAMEMODE EVER AGAIN ANYWAY.

Fucking hate Gambit. I fucking hate the people that came up with Gambit. Fucking want to choke the life out of the fucking Drifter, the slimy cunt that he is.

Fuck fucking fuckety fuck fucking fuck FUCK.

The Menagerie is neat

Really enjoy it so far. The vex boss last week was awesome too. Just wish that the loot was not just remodelled stuff from older content but with random perks.

Won’t stop me from trying to collect them all though.

[voidwalkermustwalkthevoid]

I just got the Recluse and I’m too lazy/excited to take an actually good picture of this moment.
