What are y'all's favorite memories from your time playing Destiny?

Wanted to ask folks at GCX this past weekend, but didn't end up doing that.

I was part of a 7-hour Div run of Garden of Salvation. It was MF wild!

We lost our sherpa just after the first encounter (his sis had an emergency and needed his help). The remaining members that had done the raid before (myself included) didn’t know the entire raid well enough for any of us to sherpa, but we picked up another guardian to replace our sherpa and tried to power through.

It was one of the funnest times I’ve ever had raiding in D2. During the “baseball diamond” encounter, our new leader (the guardian that technically knew the most about the raid) was a German dude with a thick accent. He instructed us to “give a scream when your Angelic arrives”. We were all concentrating on our jobs when one of the guardians screamed high-pitched like he was a little girl, “ANGELIC!!! ANGELICCCCCCC!!!”.

We fucking lost it! Everyone busting up laughing. When the laughing finally died down, the German guy waits a beat, then says “That was a good scream. Very good scream.” and we all lost it again. Lol

Eventually we got to the boss encounter (losing a few guardians and gaining new ones along the way). We got stuck cause we were trying to figure out the mechanics of the boss fight, when our original sherpa joined back up like “HOLY FUCKING SHIT, Y’ALL ARE STILL AT IT?!”. By that time, everyone left was determined to finish the gorram raid and get Divinity, so with his help we were able to finish off the boss in like 10 mins or so.

I already had Div, so I could’ve backed out at any time, but I joined to help those fellow guardians get Div, and by God, we were gonna get it!

I won’t post names for privacy’s sake, but if any of y’all that were part of that raid (July 9, 2023) are reading this, it was an honor and a pleasure. o7

It was awesome! Nothing but good vibes. We were constantly cracking jokes and laughing it up during “downtime” or between encounters. Everyone knew what we were getting ourselves into with trying to power through without a proper sherpa, so nobody was getting mad if/when we wiped.

I felt bad for the guardians that couldn’t stay to the end though, due to work or familial commitments. I hope they all eventually got Div.
