In Destiny, the triumph moments for Year Two are available. Our author Ttime is grabbing them – despite the Crucible?
“What is Mein-MMO author Ttime playing all day? Does he even have a clue about what he’s writing here?”
For all five of you who have ever asked yourselves this: No, I don’t play Destiny all day. I also don’t always have The Division or FIFA in my console’s drive. I don’t even play every day.
But: I like to play, and I play often. Preferably with friends, with whom you can win or lose together – and most importantly, have fun. However, I also sometimes dive into single-player games when no one is online, provided they have an engaging story. (Yes, even as an MMO fan, you can play alone sometimes.) Right now, I’m currently playing “The Walking Dead” from Telltale Games, which I can recommend to anyone who likes this genre.
Nevertheless, Destiny, The Division, and FIFA are the three games I play most often with my friends. While The Division was clearly prioritized in the spring of this year – it was new, exciting, and thrilling – I’ve found myself enjoying Destiny more and more over the past few weeks. And it’s not just because of the triumph moments, which are currently to be earned.
If PvP Skeptics are Drawn to the Crucible
Honestly: It’s not the triumph moments that have got me playing Destiny more often again. For many guardians, it probably is, but not for me. You have to know that my clan, which was active daily in 2015, took it much slower in 2016. Probably the fate of some “Year 1” clans out there.
Now my fellow guardians are slowly shaking off the dust and we’re drawn to areas of Destiny that we previously rarely visited: Into the Crucible.
Why were we rarely in PvP? Well, at the launch of Destiny in 2014, I was still living in a cheap student apartment with terrible internet – a nightmare for any MMO fan! Therefore, my start as a guardian was quite bumpy. PvE barely worked, even though the internet struggled during raids. PvP was pretty much out of the question. If you’re the “lagger,” it’s not just a nuisance for others and yourself, but it also makes no fun at all. Since I was frequently kicked from the server early on, I just stopped playing. A disaster!
In the meantime: new apartment, new internet – now I’m zooming through the net with full bandwidth, nothing holds me back, and surprise: if I shoot at another guardian now, they fall down too! Incredible! At the time, it was a completely new experience for me. However, my clan was already very inactive by that time, so the Crucible was hardly played. The PvP in Destiny had to wait – but the wait has been worth it for me.
Because now it’s really starting. For the past 2-3 weeks, my clan has been fired up for the old love called “Destiny” again. Now I’m running around the Crucible with my Striker Titan and heating things up for the opponents with the Falconer. This is how I ended up finishing the peak in Destiny last Monday. Just a few days before it was officially confirmed as a triumph moment. A few people in my clan still need this quest – and I will definitely accompany them in the PvP area and support them.
The following sentence should not sound too forced: But I think I’ve discovered my love for the Crucible – albeit late. However, this only flourishes when I dive in there with good friends together. Perhaps some PvE enthusiasts and PvP skeptics among you will also find their fun in the Crucible. The triumph moments will surely serve as an incentive for some to venture in there.
At this point, I would also like to ask the question: How important are the triumph moments to you? Do you want to be able to check off Year Two? Or would nothing bring you into your disliked modes?
I myself haven’t fully completed the triumph moments yet. I believe some fragments still need to be found. However, nothing that can’t be accomplished with hard work…
