Bad luck with trials! (Destiny)

Sheesh. RNG in the past month has given me another Red Death and another No Land Beyond. I haven't gotten any other exotics. How are you guys doing it? Who did you bribe? lol

Sometimes I really wonder about that.

I got a Gjallarhorn a long time ago - I was happy I had one, I didn't mind swapping it back and forth between characters (even before that became easy to do). Never really thought I'd get another one.

Spent a week at E3, and stayed with a bunch of gamers. One of them was dying for a Gjallarhorn. Every morning before we left for the show, he'd play, and every night when we came back, he'd play - hoping to get one to drop. He'd been playing obsessively since launch, waiting for this.

I flew home on Thursday, but most of the other guys stayed for the weekend. On Saturday, I texted them to let them know that during an Omnigul run, a Legendary engram dropped - and it decrypted to Gjallarhorn.

The reply text was "he literally grabbed his heart and fell over"

I remember Speedracer's quest for a Mythoclast... We were running VoG hard mode 3 times a week for like 3 months, and it just wouldn't drop for him. The poor guy had to watch me get 8 or 9 of them in that time. It got to the point where I wanted to start making photoshops and sending them to him; "get check out my new sparrow!" And send him a pic of a sparrow with Mythoclasts mounted on it. "Look at this sweet new ship!" Followed by a photoshop of a ship made entirely out of Mythoclasts. Sadly I never had the time ;p

When he finally did get one, he seemed too worn out to celebrate. It was like "thank god that's finally over".
