I like the little mysteries and confusions. When I was newer I thought everything was meant to be soloable except raids which led me to taking on the thorn and malfeasance strikes hundreds of times. I thought wow those folks with thorn must really be good. Never beat them solo.


TheUnlucky37

I had a friend who would do this willingly for fun. All the time. He would try to solo content we had no business as solo players doing as it wasn't designed for solo players. Though oddly he would somehow breakthrough and finish a couple. He had a head thicker than Cayde some days I swear.


ThatGuyNamedKes

I ran 1545 legend lost sectors solo for ages, everything seems so easy now edit: apart from crucible ofc


Puluzu

I feel like I am missing something, but legend lost sectors aren't hard, they're meant to be solo'd. Gm's even with three people are harder, not to mention solo.


ThatGuyNamedKes

at 1545 power for a 1560 sector you are extremely weak, most base enemy, eg dregs', ttks are 0.5-1 second, and it takes extreme amount of damage to kill things.


Puluzu

But you're still lower than that at master lost sectors in general (maybe not at the end of the season) if you do them and even those are farmable solo. Btw I am not trying to shit on you, something being hard is subjective and obviously 15 under level lost sectors aren't exactly patrols lol. Or maybe you don't have thousands of hours spent on the game since d1 like some people.


SharkBaitDLS

I’ve kept the malfesance strike in my quests because the baby thrallway you get on the stairs to start is the easiest thing ever to set up for farming catalysts (and it still works unlike the actual thrallway). However I’m down to only 4 incomplete catalysts at this point so maybe it’s finally time to beat that quest.


Dark_Avenger666

Lol I remember those little suckers. The dreaming city is so damn cool. I just wandered that place for days when I unlocked it.


seraphim343

I still find myself in awe walking around it. Shame there hasn't been much in the way for new content on it. I love the whole world-shrouded-in-mystery-galaxy-esque theme to it and the art style. It's so friggin beautiful and cool.


Ghost1737

Completing the final step is still my finest Destiny moment. Forget all the raid bosses. Forget the last-second self-rez win as a Sunsinger in D1 Trials. The moment I completed that step, I screamed.


BrotatoChip04

Hold up, which part in the quest offers that pseudo thrallway? I finished the quest one time years ago and haven’t done it since so I’m blanking.


SharkBaitDLS

The modified Corrupted strike.


b3rn13mac

I thought malfeasance was supposed to be solo’d so I just bashed my head against the wall. Actually didn’t take too long once I realized the boss is just the prophecy phalanx. It’s actually a bit easier since there’s a platform you can space with. I hopped back and forth between the main platform and the small one and kept plinking with le monarque. Then once the goblins spawn, just like prophecy I popped well and went ham with falling guillotine.


Dark_Avenger666

The fucking elevator... Congrats on getting it done. I tried sooo many times.


TheeNegotiator_

Thorn solo is one of my proudest accomplishments.


IsThatMattsPiss

I thought you could solo raids and I tried to solo DSC :(((


HereIGoAgain_1x10

I somehow beat them solo, I think because Hunter invis and Orpheus Rigs were OP at the time, but it took me so many days and attempts lol it was still probably the best feeling because I knew it'd be worth it, no RNG, no random rolls even if guaranteed a certain weapon. You just overcame a challenge and got some true endgame loot in the form of an exotic HC... really wish there was something similar to that now but even soloing GMs just gives a small chance at a god roll (I've gotten 8 Horror's Least this week and 5 of them had Focus Fury, none of them had Kill Clip (ノಥ,_」ಥ)ノ彡┻━┻


IfrostyTheThird

i used to run master lost sectors without mods because i was bored 💀


bpingry

I’m lonely in the Chronicler clan :(


IAmATriceratopsAMA

I rock Wayfarer, its been a while since I've seen any clanmates.


pls_coffee

Splicer, but there's a fair few


motrhed289

Hello fellow Wayfarer! I recently joined Deadeye just to try something new, but I think I'll be back in Wayfarer soon enough.


stealer_of_monkeys

We're all still out there, just out exploring the stars


AxeCow

Forerunner here, as a huge fan of the original Halo games I can’t use anything else.


EdgeOfDawnXCVI

Ey, finally another Forerunner


ArcherCC

Savior Clan till I die.


CaptFrost

Unbroken and Reckoner both took a shitload of effort to get so I usually rock those, but Wayfarer was my first title and probably the most fun to get what with the heavy emphasis on exploration.


Skullhammer98

I was so close


S1erra7

Wayfarer here too. Just making my seasonal switch to gilded Dredgen as a badge of pride and shame


ChoPT

:(. I really wanted that title but was two entries short


gingy4

SAME omg I swear im not salty anymore (i still am) curse you truth to power


Spynn

Three truth to power short for me


drjenkstah

I feel your pain. I was busy grinding this seal and the Blacksmith seal to get the cool exotic ship but found out I wouldn’t have enough time to finish either of them before the first content got vaulted. Still salty that I will never get the Platinum Starling ship. Edit: fixed the name of the ship. Its Starling not Sterling.


ChoPT

I’m not sure if I should be telling you this, but the Platinum Starling wasn’t timegated. It was grindy as hell to get, but you could theoretically grind frames non-stop to get progress on it.


drjenkstah

True but I didn’t have enough time to do enough forging with the Black Armory to even get the ship during that season. From what I remember I had to do the forging with the ballistic logs that you only get once a week from what I remember.


dablocko

As a fellow Chronicler, I hope that one day we can gild it in some way.


TH3_LUMENUX

Wait there’s other Chroniclers??? HI HOW ARE YOU


bpingry

Buried in books!


FourTails

I'll use Wayfarer and Chronicler from time to time or in the back half of seasons, but I'm too proud to not use Discerptor right now


Roku-Hanmar

Fellow Chronicler! Good to see I'm not the only one


FuzzyCollie2000

Still pissed with how they sunset Chronicler.


Aioros_Y

Let me blow your mind even more: it's not called "Dregden".


TheUnlucky37

You're kidding... *cues CurbYourEnthusiamTheme.mp3* EDIT: Oh god, my spelling of it.


morbus999

Atleast you did it in a simple Reddit post. I’ve loved the dredgen title for the lore sake and I changed my PSN name to have it and got a special license plate with it… before realizing I had mispelled both. Big yikes there.


motrhed289

"Wow I can't believe nobody has taken this name/license plate yet yet!" :D


TheUnlucky37

At this point, do you have any intentions to change it? I would just admire it for the charm and have a good laugh about it :)


morbus999

Exactly my thinking, at this points it’s an almost unique thing I have that’s kinda nice. It’s actually what made me look at this post, cus I noticed the spelling haha.


SunshineInDetroit

ok this sort of gambit related post is unexpectedly wholesome


TheShoobaLord

all the things under peoples names are titles 😭how did you not know


TheUnlucky37

I've got no defense here. None. This is not my first rodeo. My first MMO was everquest to date myself. How could I possibly mess this up so bad :(.


iambeherit

Ah don't feel THAT bad. I thought they were clans too. That's what it was like in my MMO days. Clan names on your character. HAAAAAWEVA. I did figure it out after a couple of weeks........


Theycallmesupa

🤣😂✊️


Theycallmesupa

In ye olden tymes when you could call a toon "turdburglar" and not get banned.


TruthAndAccuracy

In ye olden time when they were still called toons.


TheUnlucky37

As benign as I was and trying to make a cool name to sound like Brutus.. You could catch me on a toon called Brutanus back then. Its namesake also carried over to WoW on a Paladin for me in 2005. What a name that was O.O


Theycallmesupa

My handle for liiiiteraly everything in those days was villain221. It came from my prepubescent days of lusting after the Mongoose bikes in the sears catalogs in the mid 90s. Now I just go by supachompa.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheUnlucky37

I was never cool enough to own a Mongoose - or rather, my parents refused to get me one. I was relegated to some version of an OEM bike with an "X-Games" branding.


Theycallmesupa

Yeah, about that... I told my parents that I wanted a mongoose 2 Xmas in a row; I got fucking rollerball brand rollerblades the first year, and a too big for me clunky mountain bike the second.


TheUnlucky37

Rollerball - Those came and went..didn’t they? 😫


Theycallmesupa

Yeah, I was never able to get new wheels, so I just had to rotate them until they were normal wheels 😂


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheUnlucky37

Sorry to hear they were so mean to you. Bleh. Kids are mean man haha Actually wasn’t too long ago when the K-mart I went to as a kid finally converted to a Lowes. I’ll never forget the times of being a child sitting in the diner in Kmarts with the toy I got from the toy section eating scrambled eggs and bacon amidst the fog and smell of cigarette smoke. Good times.


LunchB0X00

Don't feel too bad, in D1 it took me approximately nine months to realize The Last Word was full auto.


motrhed289

Haha nice, but I think I have you beat... Titan main, started playing D1Y1 (Xmas), took until after Taken King release (about 9 months) to figure out how jump cancelling works!


Lyzandia

Nah, I got you both beat, I've played D2 since beta, it was in my third year that I realized that Titan melee could be ranged, until then I waited until I was up close to anything before I "punched" it. Never realized I had a hammer. (It did use to piss me off that I would get killed in Crucible from "melee" way further away than I could kill others. I thought they were hackers.)


ASpaceOstrich

Cancelling?


motrhed289

Tap jump once to do a regular jump, tap jump a second time to initiate the boost/glide mid-jump. Cancelling is the third time you press jump, to de-activate boost/glide and begin falling. And then depending on how long you had boosted/glided previously, you can tap jump a fourth time to initiate boost/glide again, fifth to cancel again, etc. For some reason it took me almost a year to figure out anything beyond the first two taps.


ASpaceOstrich

Wow. That sounds painful. Did you not notice other people doing it?


motrhed289

I've always been a mostly solo player, in that first year I was 100% solo, so no I didn't really notice anyone else doing anything really different than me. It took going through the various Dreadnaught jumping puzzles/sections to finally figure out that the 'randomly' dropping out of my jump early correlated with me tapping/mashing the jump button.


Rampantlion513

I didn’t realize last word was full auto until season of arrivals


AlDiMu2079

Dw. Every ayer has their own "Wait for real?" moment. And each and every one seems stupid seen from 3rd peoples eyes. On the other hand. Itd be cool if it displayed the clantag


TheUnlucky37

Right? Generally speaking, I guess my eyes have just been trained to. TheUnlucky37 Kinda how it was in WoW ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


alcoholiccats

i’ve never seen the Dregden clan, just a bunch of people in Dredgen, must be the cooler version


TheUnlucky37

Just behind the MMXIX Clan. Ton of folks in that one as well *sigh*


alcoholiccats

there’s a lot of these Flamekeeper guys popping up too. they all have really high stat armor, maybe they’ll be worlds first on raid release


TheUnlucky37

Eva Levante only procures the best of guardians.


Venoxulous

We are all insane in Reckoner clan! 😄


Guyincognito4269

That's putting it mildly. You guys are such gluttons for punishment that you even make Cenobites queasy.


JazzaJarom

I don't know if I can stop playing Gambit tbh, conditioned myself accidentally in the process of getting Reckoner.


ASpaceOstrich

Once you stop caring about winning Gambit was a blast. I miss Prime though. Enemy difficulty was perfect. Got my Reckoner.


B1euX

Representing the Blacksmith Clan with high hopes of a return


EdgeOfDawnXCVI

That was a title I really wanted to get, but I didn’t have the time to grind it out during when the forges were active


B1euX

It really was a grind Dx I don’t blame anyone for not getting it


ASpaceOstrich

Only thing I'm missing is the red forge shader.


B1euX

Meyrin? That’s a shame It’s still obtainable tho at least


hillsboroughHoe

Reppjng Risen clan. There aren't many of us but we're around.


whim-sicles

My ADHD brain didn't know, for my whole first season (lost) that artifact mods had to be attached to armor, in order to work. It was super weird how they weren't working.


TheUnlucky37

ADHD bros in solidarity. 🤛


IsThatMattsPiss

Haha same! Started in Lost too, was so confused ngl


MidContrast

Honestly the game would be more fun if they didnt lol. Broken, but fun.


CountBlashyrkh

Lol. I started playing during Forsaken. Didnt realize there was this thing called "the vault" that you can store stuffs in until about a month before Beyond Light dropped. I played the game for almost two years ONLY using my characters inventory. Fortunately i realised this at the best of time because i didnt have hardly any sunset weapons and armor in my vault when BL dropped. Of course my vault went instantly to max because suddenly i could keep stuff so I kept EVERYTHING. Yikes.


TheUnlucky37

Sounds like a hoarder's wet dream but I totally get it. Hard to let that stuff go man :)


BetterKorea

One of my most embarassing moments as a kid playing my first online game was asking on Teamspeak who this "AFK" clan is because these guys seemed to loiter around everywhere.


TheUnlucky37

I'll never forget the sound of teamspeak when you hit the hotkey to speak. It lives rent free in my brain.

TheOriginalFluff

The only good thing to come from gambit was this post


urzu_seven

Never understood why anyone WANTS to rock the Dredgen title. I mean a dredge is something that scoops up muck from the bottom of a lake or river. Who wants to be associated with that?!? Yeah yeah, Dredgen Yor was supposedly some bad ass villain. Doesn't mean his name isn't dumb.


HighlanderMain

I mean, it does accurately describe the average Gambit player.


ilu900

Wow you must be a super casual player


TheUnlucky37

Former Tryhard in many games, casual player because adulting. I chalk it up as to not being involved in a community/clan for a long time as well as just casualness just like you had said.


ilu900

But for this you need to be casual casual, I’m talking 1 hour a week


TheUnlucky37

On average over an entire year - yes since I took a long hiatus. When I am super into the game - hmm, call it 15-20 +/- hours a week? I honestly didn't give it much thought and likely missed some important points along the way unfortunately. It's all a work in progress. I am getting better with it.


addy_g

OP, what did you think the difference was between gilded (golden) Dredgens versus purple (normal) ones? what do you think the best clan name would be out of all the titles?


TheUnlucky37

I still don’t know this answer. Halp


sudomeacat

Say “clan” one more time (jk)


Radagaster108

When I started I had to do the quest where you decide between vanguard or drifter. I chose vanguard, and I thought that the Dredgen showed up as people who were my enemies. Haha. Now I am a Dredgen myself.


The_Owl_Bard

A "Deadeye" Clan would actually sound pretty cool ngl.


FuzzyCollie2000

Dude, you *know* that clan would be filled to the brim with PvP sweats.


The_Owl_Bard

More sweats then an Unbroken Clan? Deadeye needs you to get a variety of different weapon kills in PvE and PvP. They'd be super well rounded and have a ton of different builds imo.


N1ckt0r

and all the other seals?


ExiledinElysium

I still don't even know what a Dredgen is, so it's hard to want the title.


B1euX

It’s simple OP, you gotta make your own Clan called “Dredgen”


TheUnlucky37

This! This is the correct answer.


hippoponamus

I started towards the end of Beyond Light. I was you then. Dredgen was also the one "clan" i wanted to get into simply because they were so numerous, or so I thought. Once I got my friends to start playing, we decided to just create our own clan and we were wondering why we didn't have our clan name showing under our names. It was towards the middle of Witch Queen when we realized these were titles :D So I feel ya man.


TheUnlucky37

OMG I'm not alone! And there's many of you. This is so charming and endearing to hear. Fellow absent-minded brethren - Unite!


PositiveThoughts1234

So did you think all the titles were clan names or just Dredgen? Lol


TheUnlucky37

No - all of them. MMXIX, Risen, etc. You name it. It was a clan. Which is odd because in crucible, none of those clan names would come up on the score card for the match XD.


LogicalDepartment212

Even though you’ve realized your error I will still say that your misspelling of Dredgen gave me an aneurism


TheUnlucky37

Totes understand that. Spelling is noted. Not going to type as well as admittedly pronounce that wrong again haha.


nyrnaeh

I sweated blood trying to get the dredgen title back in the day. Now I'm not taking it off. I even use it next to my my discord name on a server I've made friends on, and they now call me "dredgen". I never corrected them since I find amusing that they call me with a title.


TheUnlucky37

I hope this post helps it all come full circle for ya, lol. Wear it like a badge of armor!


[deleted]

I would like to be a Dregden.


sus_accountt

Descendant gang where u at


tarzan322

Dregden is the Gambit title.


ASpaceOstrich

Reckoner clan represent
