Crunch Time / Benie.. the raid CARRIER?! / “This better be worth it…”

With Destiny 2’s servers being down as we patiently wait to wait hours while being part of the glorious queue time to play the game play the new expansion, I’ve been working my scales off. I didn’t think I’d be doing the (now former) current season (Season of
the Lost) and just getting done with the previous Season of the Splicer instead, Kovo and Nova were willing to help me achieve it.
One thing before I start this, I find it funny how I, in the history of playing expansion packs, am going to be playing two that start with ‘The’ (that has to do with some really bad person in power). First it was in WoW: The Lich King. And now it’s The Witch Queen. It’s just funny, and cool. One controlling an undead horde, the other controlling a bug-like horde. Except this bitch isn’t playing around.. with Guardian-like Hive who can pull their super, just like you can. PvP-like PvE. Going to be interesting.
I will freeze their asses with Stasis.

Crunch Time
==============================================================
I dunno what annoyed me more; having to rely on a group of five others to stop the forces of a worm god, or doing this deceiving solo content. Deceiving meaning, having to have weapons that can stun Unstoppables and Overloads (and sending waves of pain after you).
But what’s the most annoying part, I had to do this.. 49 times. That’s how much content there was in that season. But it wasn’t just those two activities. There was also story/lore bits with Mara Sov, Crow learning who he was (and who brought him down), and talking to the Queen of Lies herself: Savathûn who needs you help to sever her from her worm in exchange of knowing more about the darkness (and claiming she’s been “helping” you).
Though there was one time where she actually almost got to me: “I’m not your enemy, and you are no hero”. Kovo told me this made Vale leave Destiny 2. Goodness. I can see
why.

Benie.. the raid CARRIER?!
==============================================================
With Dusky, Sparky, Snowflake, Kovo and Nova on, we did Vault of Glass (the first two fights). The second one, I was with Kovo. My job was to keep everything from coming out of the pit infront of me, and I did that job as good as I can. Died twice, but not as much as the others. And we were able to complete it the second time. How I died the second time is Kovo was trying to help the others. I held the line as long as I could, but got
overwhelmed. Still, I managed to defeat the boss before I died, giving them the victory.
I was praised for carrying the raid. Like, holy fuck was I praised. Even Dusky, praised me. That’s something. That is respect well earned from him. And I enjoyed myself. Yes I was in last place in the DPS chart, but I didn’t care. I had fun. 🙂

“This better be worth it…”
==============================================================
With finally being done with the former season, Kovo wanted me to get an exotic weapon he felt I’d use quite a lot. With my desire to attack ranged, he felt this weapon would work. And said this thing is even used in a few raids.
The exotic is called “Ager’s Scepter”. I went through some hell (but it wasn’t that
brutal) to get it. It just felt “god.. how much effort does this damn thing TAKE?!” What I didn’t like the most is having to kill Champions of that 6 player thing (which forced me to use weapons that I don’t like using). However, after I started using them.. it wasn’t that bad. But I refuse to let Kovo be all “told ya”.
Then when I got the weapon, it has you learn how to use it (which I liked, but also didn’t as the game wanted me to deal with a boss and a bunch of screaming Taken coming after my dragon ass, (and this was solo)). But it was a good way to learn how to use it, and how
the ‘infinite ammo’ proc hits– frozen enemies hit by this thing refill your reserves clip. Started really getting into this gun.. when the proc actually worked. Kovo believed it’s because of the servers lagging.
Then came to getting the catalyst, which showed up in a chest after doing the 6 player thing. Then having to kill enemies and all sorts of other shit.

Let’s just say, when I finally got it unlocked and Kovo told me what to do.. it was like.. it was like…

YES!! Exactly!! I have a literal death beam of ice, that I can charge it with my Super energy! And just.. holy fuck. I can DESTROY minibosses with this fucking thing!! It feels so satisfying when I switch on the

button! Watching everything MELT that I point this thing at.. ohh god. I love it.
But I have to say this: it’s a bit funny. Me, being a fire-based dragon using an ice-based weapon. How does that even work? Now, give me a flamethrower version of this gun. I’ll be set for life. I’ll truly be melting faces with that thing.
