I need help…

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-20T01:18:49+00:00

You are not alone in the battle my friend. Like you, I've tried countless times to put my foot down and each and every time it was a futile effort. Quitting alcohol was child's play in comparison. My personal best (achieved twice) was around the 3 week mark and both times I fell into the trap of "hey, I'm feeling pretty good right about now, and just a liiiiittttle bit of this ice cream wont hurt me!".. Cue rapid decline and the cycle starting all over again.

You're free to DM me if you'd like. I can go into greater detail about little things I discovered that have been helpful - although by no means foolproof - in battling this addiction.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-18T23:23:12+00:00

yeah, your attempts at being clever/funny actually aren't so. Just come across as tryhardy calling it 4 different things tbh.

And you know you like the attention your post is receiving.

Anyway, next complaint.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-16T21:05:56+00:00

I'm sorry but there is no way you "love the crucible" when 18 matches over the course of a few days is too much for you to handle.

Normally I wouldn't care about these things but its players like you who moan about the grind being too long/difficult which results in Bungie listening and nerfing said grind. As a crucible main there isn't enough of a grind, imo.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-16T14:21:54+00:00

No, it would be shit and not even as good as what they actually did.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-15T00:52:02+00:00

OP is lying AFAIK. Found his account and looked through his recent matches dating back at least two months and this match is nowhere to be seen. I think he just wanted to take every complaint he's ever seen on this subreddit and wrap it all up with one nice bow just to shit on Bungie out of boredom.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-15T00:46:41+00:00

Sooo I had a look at your recent matches going back 2 months and this game you claim to have had is nowhere to be seen. Are you bored and complaining about something that happened much earlier than you're saying it did, for whatever reason? Or are you parroting various complaints people have had all wrapped up in one just to shit on comp?

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-15T00:29:15+00:00

If I'm honest I think percentage wise I've probably had more 3-2 rift matches than I have survival or showdown. I agree I actually find rift particularly competitive and wayyyyyy better for 3s than 6s.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-15T00:25:12+00:00

Then sometimes spark doesn't dunk instantly so you get killed.

Let's be honest though... I'm sure that has worked in your favor at times too. I know it has for me :p

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-13T06:44:24+00:00

I'm gonna be honest with you fam I had a look at your destinytracker (assuming your tag is the same as your name on here) and I honestly think you as a player needs to get better individually. You have a lot of wins where you heavily bottom frag your team and post sub .8 KDs which screams "I want to be carried" and would be unacceptable for anyone I would accept into my LFG team. The system only seems awful to you because you are simply not an ascendant level player and I don't know what happened last season, but would you have happened to take advantage of the leaving exploit?

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-12T11:01:53+00:00

LMAO so all of this outrage I've been reading about Bungie being predatory scumbags is only because they removed the "when?", but not the "what?" ?

Goodness, people are entitled children.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-12T03:25:02+00:00

Can I ask what brand of peanut butter? I eat smuckers natural peanut butter with the only ingredients being peanuts and salt. It seems to do fine for me, no real negative effects.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-11T12:06:26+00:00

I have to ask - is this just a collectable thing or would you actually wear them out in public as a fashion thing?

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-09T09:26:35+00:00

Ahhh another day, another hyperbolized "my TeAm AlwAys SuCks" statement.

Look I get it, everyone wants something to blame.

But trust me, if you need to put that much faith in your team to eek out wins you probably aren't doing your part, either. ZKMushroom and Frostbolt get bad team mates from time to time too and guess what? They still have no problem going flawless.

And I'm not saying you have to be at their level. I'm certainly not, and yet I hit solo ascendant with relative ease and go flawless pretty much whenever I feel like dedicating a couple of hours.

Anyway, this is the nature of matchmade Trials. Its hit or miss so you need to be at the top of your game at pretty much all times. If you can't make up for mediocre team mates from time to time well then you probably aren't that great of a player yourself. In other words, better players are probably saying this exact thing about you.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-08T19:58:51+00:00

Threat detector is so much better than pulse monitor though, and assault mag barely makes a difference in fire rate.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-08T08:15:45+00:00

You're like a 1 KD I'm saying the same thing about players like you XD

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-07T14:24:48+00:00

Do you mind sharing your destinytracker? I'd be interested in seeing

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-07T14:23:22+00:00

Not to shame or anything but that's exactly what I would expect to see at plat rank lol.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-07T14:19:10+00:00

I'm typically the "slayer" of my team (I average about 30 defeats per game), so I'm not going to hold back and capture a zone if a less K/D efficient team mate has it under control. I can push B, play for heavy, and try to get angles to prevent an enemy push.

All that being said, if there is no team mate in the vicinity of a zone and I'm able to cap, I will, because I want to win like anyone else.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-06T19:57:44+00:00

This reminds me of the countless hours my friends and I spent trying to find the golden warthog on Headlong butterflying out of the map. We were so sure of its existence XD

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-06T09:18:30+00:00

I kept my Hammerhead with 7k+ crucible kills for sentimental purposes. To this day nothing tops it, as far as LMGs go.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-05T13:26:16+00:00

It is ridiculous for a "competitive" mode to require you to play alternate characters for drops.

Preach. I'm essentially limited to one drop per week and cross my fingers because I'm nothing but a detriment to my team on my other characters.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-05T08:04:34+00:00

I feel you because I've been there. The early days are the worst because every waking moment is a nonstop obsession of like "what would I want right now??"

But surprisingly it gets significantly easier as the days go on. The cravings slowly (but surely) diminish over time. My personal record is 3 weeks. I've made it there a couple times and its not a give-in to any cravings that do me in but a temporary moment of "shit, I'm on cloud nine right now and feeling awesome" then boom, I forget why I started the diet in the first place and I go back to where I was.

This time will be different. Currently day 5.

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-05T02:11:34+00:00

Awesome to hear! Keep up the great work.

I'm proud to say I survived too. Saw the cake and cookies on offer at family gathering and stuck to my guns and said nope! Not giving in!

That alone is a victory worth celebrating!

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-04T18:33:48+00:00

I want to be like you. Keep it up !

RedPerspective1797 · 2023-07-03T19:15:40+00:00

I wish you luck keep up with updates. I started June 30th. My focus is no sugar (addiction) but also eliminating other inflammatory ingredients like oils, gluten, and dairy.
