A lot of people lately have been taking the "Solo Luna" challenge, but we decided to make yet another milestone as a couple. Evilman520 and EvilWife720, The Fabled Couple.
We play a lot of games together, but at the top of our list stand Final Fantasy XIV, Destiny, and Destiny 2. And we take the "dynamic duo" mindset to the limit. She is my healer, and I am her tank -even in this game! I cant tell you how effective we are in Gambit Prime with a Commander Titan and Grace Warlock. We've tackled many challenges together, two-manning Shattered Throne, Two-manning Izanagi start to finish, even saving two blueberries in Gambit Prime, and getting "From the Jaws of Defeat" twice. Not to toot our horn too loudly, put we are a pretty freakin' lethal team.
When she first saw the Recluse, her first words were "oh my God that thing is beautiful! How do I get that?" But when I told her it was in Competitive, she scoffed and said "Well nevermind then..." but I wasn't about to have that. I loaded into Comp for my Thorn quest and realized after 3 (very quick) matches that it wasn't so bad. And after some convincing, we agreed that we would work on the Luna steps together and see where it took us.
My wife and I started this journey together. She had my six, and I had hers. We had our ups, we had our downs. We had our winning streaks, we had our losses. We defied the odds, even against 4-man teams. We even made a few friends along the way (and ran into some existing ones in a match or two).
And through it all, we came out on top. And now, we have reached Fabled.
It was a helluva fight. Many times, we got frustrated and wanted to give up. But we kept each others' spirits up, we powered through, and we succeeded. This was one of the most intense challenges we have taken on in this game as a couple, and it has my respect.
I have also obtained Luna's Howl, and she is well on her way. But I swore that I will not equip mine until she has hers too.
By the way for anybody who is curious what weapons helped the most... Malfeasance. Team-shooting with Malfeasance was just brutal XD add my Chromatic Fire to the equation and... well... [i]Guardian Down![/i]

Edited by Whopping Dingers: 4/8/2019 3:25:43 PMExcellent read. Well done the pair of you. [quote]It was a helluva fight. Many times, we got frustrated and wanted to give up.

This was one of the most intense challenges we have taken on in this game as a couple, and it has my respect.[/quote] Change we to "I", each others' to "my", and couple to "solo" and that is exactly how I felt at the end of my fabled climb, and hit me in the feels, especially the "and it has my respect" line. To do it as a duo must have been an even greater feeling.

This is great. Good job!

Good post!

Ggs all round. Maybe me and my friend dan will meet you the crucible. ;)

Edited by Arts-Live-: 4/8/2019 8:01:29 PMThat's the real deal! Question - are you both looking for a clan by any chance? ;-)
-
I played either against you guys or with, not sure. Just remember thinking you guys had some cool names lol
-
man you are so lucky. my wife hates FPS - she likes MMORPG Diablo shit. not that it will help because i have the aim of a potato
-
Nice well done. I think hell would freeze over first before my wife even played this game lol 😂
-
Congrats! Thats a nice story. Its cool that you were able to take that journey together.
-
My lord shaxx if only the person I was married to would play Destiny with me. You sir are a lucky man. And to get to Fabled together? Thats love right there.
-
Well done! That’s awesome that the two of you did it together.
-
See...perserverance. Too many people give up too easily. Sometimes it's just bad luck. Sometimes it just isn't your day. But if you stick with it, it WILL happen at some point. Congrats, and be sure to equip that Recluse in pve. It is unbelievable great for adds and orbs.
-
Congrats! Advice I got before marrying was "travel together for a decent period". But really, this would be the ultimate challenge.
-
Very inspirational, well done.
-
-
I respect people who can game together. I honestly turn into someone worse than satan when playing a competitive videogame. That's why I don't play with teams generally, and completed every pinnacle weapon alone.
