My experience with the new ̶p̶v̶p̶ multiplayer event
It was 6 o’clock in the morning. Birds were chirping like a well-rehearsed orchestra, beautifully harmonized, as if they were performing at a sold-out theater. Sunlight sneaked into my room, gently caressing my eyelids like a mother waking her child for school. I groggily opened my eyes, peeked through the window, and behold—a beautiful day. The weather was perfect. I smiled at the world, appreciating its warm welcome into a new day.
Feeling the good vibes, I brewed a cup of coffee, toasted some bread, and cooked an egg like a civilized human being. Then, as if my body had been pre-programmed, I instinctively booted up my computer and launched Wuthering Waves. After grinding through my dailies, I was hyped for the newly unlocked stage in the multiplayer event. Since I was in such a great mood, I decided to pick Encore as my resonator because, well, I felt just as cheerful as she is.
Matchmaking found a game, and we were off! I rushed to the first booster—only to realize I was in last place. Just as I was about to grab my well-deserved speed boost, a guy (using Shorekeeper) swooped in and snatched not one but BOTH of the boosters, leaving me behind, rooting alone in despair.
Alright, no big deal. I pressed on, hoping for a chance to catch up. I spotted the next booster up ahead—but wait. SK was just standing there. Suspicious. What was he doing? Praying? Meditating? Telepathically communicating with a sentinel? Whatever. I ignored him and went for my booster—only for him to snatch it AGAIN.
At this point, I realized: that SK wasn’t playing to win. He was playing to ruin my life. He kept waiting for me at every booster, only to steal them away at the last second. It was like watching a villain in a Saturday morning cartoon—except I was the only one suffering.
And just like that, my perfect morning crumbled. My day? Ruined. My mood? Obliterated. My trust in humanity? Shattered.
Thanks, SK. Thanks a lot.
