Today something happened that made me feel it was time to tell my story, it won't happen again.
The story starts when Planet ARIS was introduced. Full of excitement, I logged in later that night after the launch. Icewind had streamed the whole day and briefed me on where to start, it was the first day at my new job so couldn't work from home, ehrm.
I truly enjoyed the planet, not the first day but after a while. No more TP chip jumping, back to running and driving, but ofc I didn’t even bring a car. It took a few days before the first new UL item dropped, from one of the robot instances. Oblivion Protocol PF-20 on May 16. Three days later, Oblivion Protocol GR-110 was looted by mchammer. Insane weapon.
Through my years in PE there has always been this gap, skills or gear compared to all the ubers, but this was something new. An instance you can only do once every 20 hours. It doesn’t matter if it takes 30 minutes or 3 hours to complete, you still face the same end boss. I thought about it and realized that this time I can compete with Hardcore and the other ubers. Let’s do this, what do I need? Nothing, it's super simple I was told.. well I went over to the 4th robot instance, this was my time to shine. Opened the door… smack, dead, respawn dead. What the f… 20 hour cooldown. F*ck this.
Next day I was back to the drawing board and my contact, Icewind, “It’s simple... just buy some Zaparis armor, get some plates, blah blah.”. Somehow he forgot to tell me about the armor part. Anyway, I had years’ worth of medistims that I never used. approx 700. What for? I had my FAP and armor, and big mobs always seemed stupid to hunt, right?
Two days later I'm standing infront of the gate, popped a pill, opened the door, started shooting and the first mob was dead. Discord was dying laughing, since this was going to be very costly, but that only fueled my hunger (or my ‘torsk sida’) even more. I kept killing all the mobs, clicking F on the locks, and finally got the boss to spawn.
I kept dying on the boss, I was almost crying, Discord too, but from laughing so hard. Then the boss went down and I saw the big yellow HOF light. What the f, UL item, a club… damn, but whaaat. I couldn’t scream, because of the family. However I had my earphones on and just kept pushing air through my lips like “pssshh what… psshh omfg.” Then the door swung open behind me: “Why are you whistling? Stop that, damnit!”. I was so excited that I wasn't just pushing air through my lips, I was whistleing, haha.
It took me 28 medistims to finish the instance.
This morning, with similar setup but only 5 medistims, I looted a PP-110 tier 169/200.
I want to thank Socrates, Icewind, Baldurn, Jambor, IRAN, Amethera Demons, my maaaama, I love you, p.o.p holding it down.
