Wow, Dude. (Destiny)

There was only one part I took personal offense to--guess which one that was? So let's finally put the shoe on the other foot, and I pick apart your post for once.

So now, there is literally nothing I can do to contribute to kneeling Crota. Not a goddamn thing. I guess I'll just point--maybe that will distract him.

or you could get good

Vagueness. You are the LAST. The absolute undisputed ridiculously idiotic FINAL person on the entire. Fucking. Planet. To say a single thing to me about skill.

A quick DestinyTracker search proved what is painfully obvious:

Every single page, every single category, every single column--I've dragged your ass up and down the floor like a wet mop. Campaign, multiplayer, everything. We're not even in the same league. Not just Destiny, either. Halo, obviously--every Customs night when we have enough people for teams, we have to arrange the roster to have at least one good player on your team at all times. Isn't that a bad enough sign? In fact, comparing games--in every single game we both share, I've gotten more, better, faster. The only exception is Hexic HD, and I'll give that one to you because let's face it--no one wants to play that garbage again.

My point is--you're so terrible at everything you touch--you're not even ALLOWED to say 'get good'. Because guess what? You're WORSE.

No, that's the opposite of what they want. They don't want it to be that easy. I did a nightfall with a Gjallarhorn user (or two) a few weeks ago. I expected the last fight to take up to an hour. By all rights it probably should have. It was over before I could fire off two magazines from my sniper. That's a broken encounter, because of one gun-- and that was Valus Ta'aurc, the one they thought had too much health at the time!

And this is another example. You believe the final section of the (Solar Burn, by the way) Nightfall--not the entire strike itself, but only the boss fight with Ta'aurc--would take an entire sixty minutes??

You're probably confused about the burns(I was too, when I first started--I guess that's the one thing you don't have to feel bad about), but elemental damage from any source is greatly increased(3x). Which means if you have a weapon that matches the elemental burn, it will do 3x the amount of damage toward another enemy, too. Which is why people use that to their advantage.

But let's get back to this hour thing. You honestly expected the last fight to stretch on for a full hour. Seriously. An hour.

Full strikes don't even take an hour. BURN-LESS NIGHTFALLS don't take an hour. A GOD. DAMN. RAID DOES NOT TAKE AN HOUR.

The worst strikes I've ever had in my entire life--the first time I went against Aksor as a level 14--those were never any longer than 35 minutes. THE WHOLE THING, not just the boss fight.

That was 8 months ago. Now I can run Nightfalls by myeslf in less than that amount of time.

The only time a strike took me more than an hour was when I was backing up my talk by accepting Raeflection's "I'm A Big Baby" Strike challenge. And I won.

Anybody remember that?

One last bullet point paragraph--back to this whole hour thing. During that strike week, you obviously weren't paying attention to the forums.

You didn't see the video Funkmon posted?

You didn't see the videos that CruelLegacy posted?
(P.S.--look at his last statement at the bottom.)

You didn't see the video I fuckin' posted?

Even WITHOUT Solar Burn, Ta'aurc can still be managed quickly, if done properly and carefully. If the electrical impulses in your brain estimate to you that the final segment of a 20 minute strike would last a full hour, that's your brain telling you that YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

I'll take a stern note of hard facts from Xenos. I'll take it from Claude. I'll take it from someotherguy, from Funkmon, from Cody, Ragashingo, Kermit and even iconicbanana. Because I can sulk all I want, but at least I know they're right. But don't you fuckin' come to me and tell me I need to get good. Because I'll tell you right now, Vaguness--if I'm not good, then you aren't shit.

I'm leaving, everybody. I'll be back in a week.
