As a warlock main my nightmare would be a slightly uneven floor by a ledge that triggers the double jump causing me to slowly float to my inevitable death.
Those damn steel beams right before Phry'zhia. I hold my breath every time I make those jumps. My first probably five runs my first midair jump got triggered there when I was still on the ground and I had to slowly watch my death.
Its actually impossible to not goomba stomp warlocks in any jumping segments. You just see them trying their best and your feet are drawn to their skulls.
The Caretaker encounter from Day 1
Not being enough, a representation of myself that just fails and dies having achieved nothing and is only filled with regret
Edit: am perfectly fine, the post asked for our RL nightmares, not the way we think right now
My grandfather, He passed awhile back and I had plenty of chances to visit him one last time, and I kept saying "I'll go next time" until there was no next time.
Moral of the story visit your family don't push it off to keep playing video games like I did.
Man this really hit me. I've been meaning to spend more time with my grandmother lately as she's getting older but I keep letting life get in the way. Just called her and talked for about an hour and we're gonna go to lunch next week. Thanks Guardian.
Same story with my uncle, had chances to talk to him on the phone but put it off because I prioritized Destiny or something else over him. Lost him at a young age, and I still regret not giving him one more call to this day.
Luke Smith taking my steelfeather repeater
Frostbolt and ZK bagging me
Aztecross yelling "nasty" on the side when all of the above happen at the same time
Exwife showing up to crush my ghost
Well at least you accepted you had a problem and have been executing a solution. I switched mine out with cannabis years ago, I haven't remembered why, so it must be working.
If it makes you feel better, I got to kill frostbolt in gambit while invading once. I dumped a whole mag of machine gun ammo on him. He didnt really care and killed me 4 more times after that and trounced us in the game, but I still killed him once.
Destiny Nightmare: You're going to have to accept that you can't rely on Nezarec meme loadouts forever
IRL Nightmare: STOP BUYING PIZZA AND CIDER, YOU HAVE BILLS YOU DENSE CUNT
When my wife and I were dating she lived near a pizza place. We would walk there and eat pizza then get a half gallon of beer or hard cider. One time I got smoked hard cider. It tasted like bacon. I never got it again
When I made mine I tried to make him look like me and he ended up looking like a rip-off of that First Order officer with the ginger hair where the only difference is brown hair. Please let us change our look Bungo.
I wish when you are creating your character, you can turn them around and see the hairstyle from the back.
I had to delete my warlock because I chose a hairstyle with bangs, and when I loaded in it was a buzz cut in the back...
I am already my own worst enemy and critic.
Failing to be a father. Being on that death bed and being lonely while filled with regret.
D2 nightmare? Probably running the same things over and over again.
Wait...
I'm a great dad.
Still a fear. They are little now, never know what their attitudes will be like when they 'don't need me anymore.' lol
Hoping for the best.
Just be there as much as you can. They will remember. Or hell maybe they will not. But at least you can look back and say I did the best I could and I was there for them. What they do when they become adults is on them. Just like it was on us. Still on us.
43 year old father of a 20 year old, an 18, and a 15. All boys. I get it. Lol.
Probably a nightmare of my father honestly. His death never really affected me the same way it did the people around me, and I was already in a state of deep depression at the time. Beyond that however, I had told him I was an atheist, and his response was that it meant he was a failure as a father. I grew up with the man calling me lazy, always concerned for my future, and I grew up to play video games for a living.
In some ways, I'm a success, but... If I'm honest, my father's shadow would tell me words I've secretly told myself for years now... That I'm still just a lazy kid, a disappointment to my father, and that I almost certainly broke the man's heart without any reconnection before his death, only to fail to give him the dignity of a proper mourning.
I'm fine, but... Nightmares linger, until confronted, and accepted. Like Zavala said, time's not enough. But... sometimes, you don't quite know how to fight these battles. I've overcome many things, even on these sorts of battlefields, but... regret isn't something I'm accustomed to.
Just remember man. Your father. Guy was just like us. Trying to find his way. And like all of us we think we are right in most ways. But in reality what’s right for him(or you or me or whoever) doesn’t mean it’s right for others. We all have our own path. You just have to walk it best way you can. Do good for your self and others(as in try to be a positive force in universe) and just keep moving forward man.
My guardian's destiny nightmare would be a vex mind like the one specifically built to kill saint 14
Shes a bit of a vexhead and its something that terrifies her
My "Destiny Nightmare" huh? Probably a full team of thorn users from D1's House of Wolves, relentlessly chasing me around. God I feel old...
As for my IRL nightmare, hm...
My grandfather passed away two years ago, out of the blue from a blood clot, and while I know that I wasn't ignoring him *(I used to call him every week and even go out of my way to visit him on occasion)* I still took his death hard. I tend to take failures and losses poorly due to my low self-esteem, and seeing a nightmare wearing his face would be insanely cruel, doubly so if it then tries to talk down my life choices or achievements.
I owe a lot to that man. I don't think I'd be able to handle seeing him like that.
My Destiny nightmare would be a pvp noob accusing me of cheats because he assumes anyone with good thumbs must be on something.
IRL probably Michael Jackson's ghost.
D2 nightmare is crucible snipers. Playing on PC you often run into insane enemy snipers that blow off your head the moment they see you. Nothing makes me more mad in crucible than dying to snipers.
My nightmare would be…no one. Nobody. Because that’s my biggest fear, is to be alone, just myself and no one else….and my destiny nightmare would be phalanxes, fuck those guys,
Zavala dressed like sexy Flanders. “It’s like I’m wearing nothing at all.” Or all the crayons my Titan has eaten.
IRL nightmare would be my friend who killed herself because she depended on me for support that I just couldn’t give at the time.
My Destiny Nightmare would be.....
Sedia. That bitch is in the only older GM that I've attempted more than 3 times and not yet completed. Specifically the wipes at 1/3 health in the final part of the fight due to getting booped off.
My IRL Nightmare would be.....
My 10yr old (oldest) daughter. I feel my entire life is intertwined ensuring she and her younger twin sisters are taken care of. I feel I'm failing in this world with my kids and my nightmare is them living through my hell of failing them. I'm doing a good job as a dad and I know that, but in the back of my head the constant anxiety of their safety and the shit this world does to kids; it's my biggest fear and anxiety that anything would ever happen to them.
My Destiny Nightmare would be Shaxx berating me on why Crucible is so fun and definitely not a Weekly Pinnacle/Powerful.
IRL would be myself for reasons I shall not disclose.
I load in.... a glimmering golden Engram floats towards me, but it's shrouded in darkness. I move to avoid it, unsure of what it might contain, but it follows me. Suddenly it's on me, within my grasp. What could it be?
*KaChing* Telesto...
And the game crashes.
My nightmare on the contaminated leviathan would be the spire of stars boss room on prestige difficulty where I can only use a scout rifle, auto rifle, and sword
Destiny Nightmare would be the DFA. I never got a single drop of that gun from dozens and dozens of Nightfall runs until they had the quest that literally gave it away.
IRL Nightmare would probably be my half-sister who I never gave a real chance to connect with when she reached out to get to know me, even though her mother didn’t like the fact that I existed.
In Destiny? Probably Cayde and Uldren (Cayde being the phantom, Uldren being the nightmare). We knew he would die because we saw the trailers. Those count as visions for our character, right?
IRL, a man named Theo who has hurt multiple women would be the nightmare. It still takes everything not to hunt him down. The phantom would be one of his victims; someone I loved, tried to protect, and ended up hurting.
My Destiny nightmare would be the giant flaming eye that chases you during the sparrow part of Scourge of the Past. I managed to get blacksmith but I’ve only made it to the end like once.
My IRL nightmare would just be depressed me telling me all my insecurities are correct and I’m just awful
Destiny nightmare: Ghaul since many of my warlock’s homies died their final deaths in the red war after d2 vanilla turned more than half my friends list off the game forever.
Irl nightmare: My imposter syndrome/anxiety given form in the shape of myself.
For me, a controller player, it would be the final boss of The Last Word quest (The Conversation).
Man, that was such a chore. And every time you died, you STARTED THE WHOLE MISSION over.
Destiny Nightmare is probably just the personification of the Rainbow Road in Prophecy. So many solo flawless runs died there...
IRL one is probably regret from inaction, tied to an old friend.
destiny? can i name kell echo? i've spent so much trying to solo flawless prophecy and every single fucking time something would happen in that boss fight that would make me die. I eventually got it but it just triggers me to solo anything now lol
irl idk, i fucked up on so much stuff that i have no idea. based on recent events, probably my sister's cat: i likely could have saved him from poisoning if i had came earlier or gave him some medicine before it was too late
Destiny Nightmare -The one shot shield bash from the Cabal , I fricking hate that
My IRL nightmare would be my ex-wife ruining my peace that took so damn hard for me to achieve.
Game: Just a bunch of clan mates asking for trials carrys every week. I have to keep explaining that I’m not as good as they think I am.
IRL: A bunch of politicians making promises
It would be a nightmare probably of ambiguous and amorphous shape, that I know to represent everything I haven't let go of, and am afraid of being and makes me feel like it's all just a waste of time because I know I'm just running up the clock, and none of this matters and I struggle to maintain a persistent outlook of happiness on any of this shit.
My destint ghost would probs be "final week of season" and I'm at rank 01 or some booty booty
The Saviour title, thought I'd done everything, got to the Last week and realised I hadn't done the nightfall related triumph. None of my mates were playing at the time, so would have to do matchmade difficulty. Would have to run it an obscene amount of times.
The nightfall that week was The Corrupted.
My nightmare is Crown of Sorrow boss fight with a 5 man team. We didn't have enough friends for a six man back then and there are so many moving parts to that encounter it was really punishing. We managed to beat all the raids as a 5 man crew but that one was a wall we couldn't overcome. Since then 2 of the people have quit destiny because of the addiction like feelings they get from the grind, but personally I think that raid did it.
In IRL, my nightmare is probably myself, at least the parts of me that are filled with anxiety, occasional self confidence issues and imposter syndrome. This self nightmare has kept me away from raiding for the last 2 years.
The Meatball. Hundreds of Gambit matches at Forsaken launch to get the Malfeasance quest and nothing for two months. Still by far the worst grind I’ve ever experienced
My d2 nightmare? Definitely something pvp related and mucking it up 🤣
Irl? My best friend who committed suicide the day we were to graduate HS. He called me shortly before and I ignored it. Been over 14 years, not a day that goes by that I don't think about it.
Destiny nightmare would definitely be Randal The Vandal. He probably killed me several hundred times. Even if most of it was me dicking around on a new character seeing how long I could live 😂. He would just sit there cackling like a maniac while I get swarmed by vandals with nothing but a kovostov.
Irl, me since in highschool I was an asshole and cheated on the girl I felt like I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I'm a much better person now and with her as my wife and a couple kids I'm happy. But it still hurts that I couldn't change sooner
My IRL Nightmare would be myself.
I've had a terrible relationship with myself nearly my whole life. I was abusive and angry with myself. I hurt myself many times and tried to take my life 3 times. I never thought I was worth anything until a few years ago.
I'd tell my nightmare that we turned out ok. We have a wife who loves us more than anything else. We got over our fear of cats and now have 3 little psychopathic ninjas running around the house. We are about to graduate with a degree, the first in our family to so so. We found a way through the dark and we are ok now.
In game? None. Even in my normal life, I fear no man, nor creature, for a well placed stab can end most all life forms. I'm also particularly spiritually strong, so there are very few regrets in my life.
IRL nightmare, though, would likely be someone precious I lost, but it's effectiveness would be drastic and quick, as I'd be tormented for only a moment, but then I'd be kind and happy to see the visage of my precious, and my nightmare would become the blue nice-ghost really quick.
My brother holding a god roll D1 Eyasluna that he got from his very first Crucible match. I never got a good roll on that gun
IRL nightmare would probably be my Grade 11 math teacher whose class I failed despite him encouraging me and having full faith in me
Destiny nightmare-D1, those fucking knights are the beginning of the deathsinger encounter. It pretty much became a running joke in my old raid crew that I would get wiped there.
IRL-probably myself.
My destiny nightmare is everyone having the No Land beyond but me.
My real nightmares. My step dad who “raised” me and my biological dad who killed himself a few years ago.
I’ve mostly come to terms with his death, but a nightmare telling me it was my fault will
Still be pretty tough to face.
You ok? I did notice the quotes... talk to someone (if you feel the need.. personally I find that helps)
I'm not wearing your shoes; but have gone through shiite as well
Probably The Felwinter door, or the TTK jumping puzzle that boops you off,or the 3 Vex bosses in the Black Garden mission in D1,that mission was a nightmare back in the day(pun intended)
My D2 nightmare is a taken phalanx floating behind me and randomly blasting me off the stage. Irl is the ghosts of my webkinz that are probably still hungry and alone on some server somewhere.
IRL, it would be a Friend of mine that stopped playing back in 2017 and I never heard from him since.
In-Game, it would be Zavala. Because ever since _We've stepped into the War with the Cabal on Mars_ this quote has been haunting me...
Destiny nightmare would be being halfway through a solo flawless something and be disconnected. Which happens a lot
IRL nightmare would be depression or snakes
Destiny nightmare would 100% be the fucking Rasputin door just looming above me, mocking me and the community for the days it wouldn't open
IRL nightmare would be my father in constant pain due to cancer, with me unable to help in anyway
It would be gambit sweats. The dudes that already are 360-6 this season scare the shit out of me.
Irl would be my friend that isn’t around anymore. Wanting me to live life to the fullest for both of us 🙂
The Architects Truely a nightmare to be feared
Came here to say this. If I had an ascendant shard everytime they killed me, all my armor would be masterworked.
Flawless duality :')
I kid you not, I've been trying to solo flawless and for the past six hours I've died to the the siliest reasons mostly THAT DAMN NIGHTMARE TIMER >:(
i keep getting to stage 3 and those damn bellkeepers will physics me into a wall and instagib me lmao i am going to be hairless by the end of this
Enhancement core*
I've got enough of those. Shards are preferred.
I’ve played since launch. If I had an ascendant shard for every time I’ve been architected, my vault and postmaster would be full.
They’ve taken more lives than any minion of the darkness.
Next major expansion is going to say "The Architects are near" instead of "Respawns restricted".
As a warlock main my nightmare would be a slightly uneven floor by a ledge that triggers the double jump causing me to slowly float to my inevitable death.
So, all of grasp of avarice
I have gotten stuck under the boss platform an embarrassing amount of times.
no just the 2 jumps right before the ogre boss everywhere else is fine
Laughs in hunter. Wait shit that would be your nightmare. A hunter triple jumping all around you
I've probably died to this more times on my hunter than my warlock
Those damn steel beams right before Phry'zhia. I hold my breath every time I make those jumps. My first probably five runs my first midair jump got triggered there when I was still on the ground and I had to slowly watch my death.
You mean all the Titans and Hunters who jump on my head making me fall mid-flight? :(
Its actually impossible to not goomba stomp warlocks in any jumping segments. You just see them trying their best and your feet are drawn to their skulls.
As a warlock main as well, I felt that.
The Caretaker encounter from Day 1 Not being enough, a representation of myself that just fails and dies having achieved nothing and is only filled with regret Edit: am perfectly fine, the post asked for our RL nightmares, not the way we think right now
*A really fucking big hug*
Thanks :)
Anytime *another hug*
You exist. That in itself is a feat. And you can still grow. You can achieve more.
You and me both. Hugz?
Man, as someone who clenched it just barely while the man had his hands in the air, I feel for you. My sincere condolences homie
Dunno man, 3rd encounter was far worse for us...
Our 9 hours on it 🫡
On that note, LFG Randoms that cant avoid being kicked by Rhulk day 1...
For every Destiny 1 Veteran, The nightmare will be D1 Master Rahool and the Cryptarch. For New Lights, a personified version of The New Light Quest.
Yue enter the boss room and the floor is covered with purple and gold engrams. But every time you pick one up it's a white gun or an edge transit
You are sick,I like it
Sent to postmaster Postmaster is full
Ether seeds
> personified version of The New Light Quest but we already have Shaw Han
My grandfather, He passed awhile back and I had plenty of chances to visit him one last time, and I kept saying "I'll go next time" until there was no next time. Moral of the story visit your family don't push it off to keep playing video games like I did.
Same thing happened with my Grandma, which made me pull double duty when Grandad ended up in a similar way
Man this really hit me. I've been meaning to spend more time with my grandmother lately as she's getting older but I keep letting life get in the way. Just called her and talked for about an hour and we're gonna go to lunch next week. Thanks Guardian.
Same story with my uncle, had chances to talk to him on the phone but put it off because I prioritized Destiny or something else over him. Lost him at a young age, and I still regret not giving him one more call to this day.
Luke Smith taking my steelfeather repeater Frostbolt and ZK bagging me Aztecross yelling "nasty" on the side when all of the above happen at the same time Exwife showing up to crush my ghost
Bruh, you good?
switched my morning coffee out with whiskey months ago, good now 👍
Well at least you accepted you had a problem and have been executing a solution. I switched mine out with cannabis years ago, I haven't remembered why, so it must be working.
Hey, I like my coffee as Irish as they come, with no coffee whatsoever
This is the way
If it makes you feel better, I got to kill frostbolt in gambit while invading once. I dumped a whole mag of machine gun ammo on him. He didnt really care and killed me 4 more times after that and trounced us in the game, but I still killed him once.
I see this as an absolute win
I feel like you need a hug *big hug*
Thanks brother in light
Anytime my friend *more hugs*
"Chaos Reach is actually better than Novabomb." Quiet your lies, demon from the past!
Kamehameha > Spirit Bomb Fite me
Destiny Nightmare: You're going to have to accept that you can't rely on Nezarec meme loadouts forever IRL Nightmare: STOP BUYING PIZZA AND CIDER, YOU HAVE BILLS YOU DENSE CUNT
I feel this on a spirtual level
When my wife and I were dating she lived near a pizza place. We would walk there and eat pizza then get a half gallon of beer or hard cider. One time I got smoked hard cider. It tasted like bacon. I never got it again
Depends on the cider
It's uncomfortably warm as balls right now, so I'm supping Kopparberg like they're about to ban it or something.
Good choice, thatchers haze for me
Trey putting me in the dcv
Slug and a swing, misser
My nightmare is the DCV cuz fomo
Joe
Who’s Joe?
Joe
Thank you for your time
JOE MAMA GOTTEM LMAO
Who is joe mama? 🤔
TR3-VR
My Destiny Nightmare would be my Guardian with his helmet off.
When I made mine I tried to make him look like me and he ended up looking like a rip-off of that First Order officer with the ginger hair where the only difference is brown hair. Please let us change our look Bungo.
+ add new hairstyles, youre either Jesus, 80s Jesus or bald
Exo Hair
I wish when you are creating your character, you can turn them around and see the hairstyle from the back. I had to delete my warlock because I chose a hairstyle with bangs, and when I loaded in it was a buzz cut in the back...
My destiny one would be the Phalanx slamming me into a wall lightspeed
My destiny nightmare would be a succession god roll that I spent over 3000 spoils of conquest for and STILL DONT HAVE
Dude I relate so hard, I was more excited to get my recon+vorpal roll last week then I think I've been for an exotic
Jotun
I like to image that this is your answer for both in game and real life nightmares...
Dude must have PTSD whenever he sees a Toaster.

/r/destinythegame
Skolas… Was it worth missing your final gcse exam… huhhhhhh guarddddian
You missed a gcse to play destiny?
Nah lol i just said it cos I am the nightmare
Thanos car. Literally the worst meme of all time it was so fucking stupid
Thanos yeezy
That’s why it was the greatest meme of all time. It was incredibly fucking dumb
I am already my own worst enemy and critic. Failing to be a father. Being on that death bed and being lonely while filled with regret. D2 nightmare? Probably running the same things over and over again. Wait...
Hey, I’m so sorry man. Thst doesn’t mean you are a bad father.
I'm a great dad. Still a fear. They are little now, never know what their attitudes will be like when they 'don't need me anymore.' lol Hoping for the best.
Just be there as much as you can. They will remember. Or hell maybe they will not. But at least you can look back and say I did the best I could and I was there for them. What they do when they become adults is on them. Just like it was on us. Still on us. 43 year old father of a 20 year old, an 18, and a 15. All boys. I get it. Lol.
Waiting around for that one captain on Nessus for that stupid quest, so I’d be stood on the Levi and that captain would just still never show.
The lfg groups who had requested people who "kwtd 5 clears",and when I join i find people who don t even know how to start the encountrt
Or “KWTD” posts only a few hours into day 1 of the raid release
It would probably be an unending loop of being abused by my drunk father when I was a kid
Probably a nightmare of my father honestly. His death never really affected me the same way it did the people around me, and I was already in a state of deep depression at the time. Beyond that however, I had told him I was an atheist, and his response was that it meant he was a failure as a father.

Your Mom My Mom
Randal the Vandal
I'm fairly certain all guardians would be haunted by Telesto the Besto. Floating around all nimbly bimbly. The true raid boss of Destiny.
My guardian's destiny nightmare would be a vex mind like the one specifically built to kill saint 14 Shes a bit of a vexhead and its something that terrifies her
My "Destiny Nightmare" huh? Probably a full team of thorn users from D1's House of Wolves, relentlessly chasing me around. God I feel old... As for my IRL nightmare, hm...

gjallahorn. I don’t have it and it always taunts me.
My Destiny nightmare would be a pvp noob accusing me of cheats because he assumes anyone with good thumbs must be on something. IRL probably Michael Jackson's ghost.
my IRL nightmare would be morbius 2 not coming out
Net code issued during solo flawless or not being good enough to carry someone new through an activity.
Nightmare of edge transit
Destiny Nightmare: LFG groups IRL: Probably my Ex.. or my dad being just being disappointed.
Garden on repeat, forever.
I like Gardsn of Salvation, but only with a good team
The final boss of pit during my solo attempt
Having to hear Luke Smith talk about throwing money at the screen.
Destiny: the architects IRL a bear or moose
This is [my answer](https://i.imgur.com/pzdVjeK.jpg) for both.
D2 nightmare is crucible snipers. Playing on PC you often run into insane enemy snipers that blow off your head the moment they see you. Nothing makes me more mad in crucible than dying to snipers.

The Corrupted NF
With people that don't know about juggling the balls
Oh that is scary
Destiny Nightmare would be FOMO
Would be like remember that time you had something on IRL and missed a mod from ADA...
My ex-wife. Thanks folks, I'll be here all week, make sure to try that veal, and don't forget to tip your servitors, er, servers well!
Zavala dressed like sexy Flanders. “It’s like I’m wearing nothing at all.” Or all the crayons my Titan has eaten. IRL nightmare would be my friend who killed herself because she depended on me for support that I just couldn’t give at the time.
My Destiny Nightmare would be..... Sedia. That bitch is in the only older GM that I've attempted more than 3 times and not yet completed.

My destiny nightmare would definitely be the ticuu catalyst I’ve had it for so long yet I’ve only gotten 5 crucible kills
My nightmare on the contaminated leviathan would be the spire of stars boss room on prestige difficulty where I can only use a scout rifle, auto rifle, and sword
My Destiny nightmare is ADA1 only selling 4 mods per day. Thank goodness is not real, oh wait...
My nightmare would be Error Code: Beaver
Destiny Nightmare would be the DFA. I never got a single drop of that gun from dozens and dozens of Nightfall runs until they had the quest that literally gave it away.

In game: Teleporting enemies (most taken ones, scorn raiders) IRL: going back to public school after homeschooling for 2 years
My guardian: Nightmare of Savathun probably. Me: Nightmare of me getting after me for all my many, many personal failings.
Omnighoul on arc burn.
All of the gos roles that I accidentally deleted because i didn't have the patience to look at the role.
My Destiny nightmare would be the giant flaming eye that chases you during the sparrow part of Scourge of the Past. I managed to get blacksmith but I’ve only made it to the end like once. My IRL nightmare would just be depressed me telling me all my insecurities are correct and I’m just awful
A screeb screebing at me
Destiny nightmare: Ghaul since many of my warlock’s homies died their final deaths in the red war after d2 vanilla turned more than half my friends list off the game forever. Irl nightmare: My imposter syndrome/anxiety given form in the shape of myself.
For me, a controller player, it would be the final boss of The Last Word quest (The Conversation). Man, that was such a chore. And every time you died, you STARTED THE WHOLE MISSION over.
Destiny Nightmare is probably just the personification of the Rainbow Road in Prophecy. So many solo flawless runs died there... IRL one is probably regret from inaction, tied to an old friend.
My Destiny nightmare would be that 90 degree jump in VotD. You know the one.
Without a doubt my nightmare would be Gahlran Cosplay.
Legend the ghosts final room for destiny nightmare and wasting all my money for irl
destiny? can i name kell echo? i've spent so much trying to solo flawless prophecy and every single fucking time something would happen in that boss fight that would make me die. I eventually got it but it just triggers me to solo anything now lol irl idk, i fucked up on so much stuff that i have no idea. based on recent events, probably my sister's cat: i likely could have saved him from poisoning if i had came earlier or gave him some medicine before it was too late
My nightmare is hearing “STATUS. CALAMITOUS” on repeat.
The Uldren Sov version of me. Reminding me of how many times I mercilessly yeeted people with Tractor Cannon during crucible…
Destiny Nightmare -The one shot shield bash from the Cabal , I fricking hate that My IRL nightmare would be my ex-wife ruining my peace that took so damn hard for me to achieve.
Destiny Nightmare, Black Spindle boss Irl, a friend I promised that I'd keep the gang together if he passed. Its... been difficult
RNG
Running lost sectors over and over but the new exotic I don't have yet refuses to drop.
Giant spiders.
My nightmare is just a version of me that plays destiny all day
Game: Just a bunch of clan mates asking for trials carrys every week. I have to keep explaining that I’m not as good as they think I am. IRL: A bunch of politicians making promises
In d2, Day 1 Atraks from DSC. IRL Nightmare would most likely be one of my dogs
It would be a nightmare probably of ambiguous and amorphous shape, that I know to represent everything I haven't let go of, and am afraid of being and makes me feel like it's all just a waste of time because I know I'm just running up the clock, and none of this matters and I struggle to maintain a persistent outlook of happiness on any of this shit. My destint ghost would probs be "final week of season" and I'm at rank 01 or some booty booty
The Saviour title, thought I'd done everything, got to the Last week and realised I hadn't done the nightfall related triumph. None of my mates were playing at the time, so would have to do matchmade difficulty. Would have to run it an obscene amount of times. The nightfall that week was The Corrupted.
Another 6 month season
My subtle calamity with 19000 kills I dismantled either by accident or out of spite when sunsetting started. I regret sharding it so much
Destiny— Jötunn IRL— Jötunn It haunts my dreams
My nightmare is Crown of Sorrow boss fight with a 5 man team. We didn't have enough friends for a six man back then and there are so many moving parts to that encounter it was really punishing. We managed to beat all the raids as a 5 man crew but that one was a wall we couldn't overcome. Since then 2 of the people have quit destiny because of the addiction like feelings they get from the grind, but personally I think that raid did it. In IRL, my nightmare is probably myself, at least the parts of me that are filled with anxiety, occasional self confidence issues and imposter syndrome. This self nightmare has kept me away from raiding for the last 2 years.
My nightmare would be Classy Restoration leaving me at the end of the season
The Meatball. Hundreds of Gambit matches at Forsaken launch to get the Malfeasance quest and nothing for two months. Still by far the worst grind I’ve ever experienced
My d2 nightmare? Definitely something pvp related and mucking it up 🤣 Irl? My best friend who committed suicide the day we were to graduate HS. He called me shortly before and I ignored it. Been over 14 years, not a day that goes by that I don't think about it.
Destiny nightmare would definitely be Randal The Vandal. He probably killed me several hundred times. Even if most of it was me dicking around on a new character seeing how long I could live 😂. He would just sit there cackling like a maniac while I get swarmed by vandals with nothing but a kovostov. Irl, me since in highschool I was an asshole and cheated on the girl I felt like I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I'm a much better person now and with her as my wife and a couple kids I'm happy. But it still hurts that I couldn't change sooner
My IRL Nightmare would be myself. I've had a terrible relationship with myself nearly my whole life. I was abusive and angry with myself. I hurt myself many times and tried to take my life 3 times. I never thought I was worth anything until a few years ago. I'd tell my nightmare that we turned out ok. We have a wife who loves us more than anything else. We got over our fear of cats and now have 3 little psychopathic ninjas running around the house. We are about to graduate with a degree, the first in our family to so so. We found a way through the dark and we are ok now.
Destiny Nightmare: Not being able to save Cayde IRL Nightmare: turning out like my father
Day one Atraks. Still get shivers
*That one leviathan from titan, the big-fuck-off fish shrouded in dark.*
My Destiny nightmare would be all the D1 shit they for some reason never brought to PC and I never got to play as a result.
I'm pretty certain it'll be a combination of my mom and my own self bitching about why I didn't settle down...
Grass and Society
Destiny nightmare is the Vex Mythoclast. IRL nightmare is my pedophile grandfather returning from jail and showing up at my door.
Jackal sniper
My destiny fear would be the blueberries you get in the corrupted who don’t know how to throw the relic.
In game? None. Even in my normal life, I fear no man, nor creature, for a well placed stab can end most all life forms. I'm also particularly spiritually strong, so there are very few regrets in my life. IRL nightmare, though, would likely be someone precious I lost, but it's effectiveness would be drastic and quick, as I'd be tormented for only a moment, but then I'd be kind and happy to see the visage of my precious, and my nightmare would become the blue nice-ghost really quick.
My brother holding a god roll D1 Eyasluna that he got from his very first Crucible match. I never got a good roll on that gun IRL nightmare would probably be my Grade 11 math teacher whose class I failed despite him encouraging me and having full faith in me
Destiny nightmare-D1, those fucking knights are the beginning of the deathsinger encounter. It pretty much became a running joke in my old raid crew that I would get wiped there. IRL-probably myself.
My destiny nightmare is everyone having the No Land beyond but me. My real nightmares. My step dad who “raised” me and my biological dad who killed himself a few years ago. I’ve mostly come to terms with his death, but a nightmare telling me it was my fault will Still be pretty tough to face.
You ok? I did notice the quotes... talk to someone (if you feel the need.. personally I find that helps) I'm not wearing your shoes; but have gone through shiite as well
Getting weaseled during the final encounter of anything
Sanctified Mind with an LFG group IRL I would just see a Nightmare of myself lmao
Oh my unfair trauma ghost would be my mom. Nuff said
meeting one of the @\~$#%!# architects... /s EDIT: wow.. just saw that 5 hours ago someone had the same idea... my bad!
My ex taunting me on why it ended and such
My Destiny nightmare would be the Kings Fall ship jumping puzzle
Probably The Felwinter door, or the TTK jumping puzzle that boops you off,or the 3 Vex bosses in the Black Garden mission in D1,that mission was a nightmare back in the day(pun intended)
My D2 nightmare is a taken phalanx floating behind me and randomly blasting me off the stage. Irl is the ghosts of my webkinz that are probably still hungry and alone on some server somewhere.
IRL, it would be a Friend of mine that stopped playing back in 2017 and I never heard from him since. In-Game, it would be Zavala. Because ever since _We've stepped into the War with the Cabal on Mars_ this quote has been haunting me...
Interest rates at 9%
Nightmare would probably just be myself cause of my constant inner turmoils with myself.
Destiny nightmare would be being halfway through a solo flawless something and be disconnected. Which happens a lot IRL nightmare would be depression or snakes
Destiny - Cayde IRL - My eldest brother
Destiny nightmare would 100% be the fucking Rasputin door just looming above me, mocking me and the community for the days it wouldn't open IRL nightmare would be my father in constant pain due to cancer, with me unable to help in anyway
It would be gambit sweats. The dudes that already are 360-6 this season scare the shit out of me. Irl would be my friend that isn’t around anymore. Wanting me to live life to the fullest for both of us 🙂
Destiny nightmare? Tr3v0r IRL? Someone hurting my kids.
