Purposely drop to 6th
Get a 320 helmet
This game
This fucking game
Those 5 above me must be pretty salty.
I did this last night and got the same result.
After not being able to complete the CM for HM Oryx this weekend (thanks to everyone who tried with me), I think it's time to take a major break from this game after IB next week.
I've literally been playing every day since TTK dropped and I'm 315. What am I chasing, exactly? "Newer" weapons? 320? Bragging rights? For what? Let me be honest; I'll never run a straight HM Raid. I'll just do the CM every week (WP and Golgoroth is super easy with the right team) and just cross my fingers that I can get a HM Oryx kill one of these days. Don't care about either Raid shader, don't care about the ship, don't care about the emblem. Don't really care about my primary weapon being over 310; either I'll be the same player I've always been in IB or slightly worse for wear; eventually the cap will rise again.
I would love to get a Grasp or a Eyasluna or get my Faction (that I did not start until TTK, even though I've been playing since Day 1) to Level 25 or finish the Bond Brothers for The Chaperone or something, but I think I've maxed myself out.
Bungie did a great job of getting people hooked, but they have done a terrible job of keeping them hooked. Exotics don't feel exotic. Weapons are the same with different looks or slightly different attributes. Everything lags. EVERYTHING. Even the reward screen at the end of events like Strikes and Crucible and SRL lags.
My backlog is calling me and I think I've put it off long enough. I'll finish out this week racing in the SRL for a 320 Class Item, but after that? I don't know.
I don't know at all.
Love you, DGAF.
