A tip for when you send someone a random invite.
Hello hello everyone, I am just quickly writing this to inform people that the best way to go about getting help in game is to first send someone a message explaining you need help and what exactly you need help with, rather then just sending them an invite straight away. It's just social etiquette and I know that I will be more inclined to help out if you first talk to me rather then send me a game invite straight away as to say you demand my help.
Enjoy your day ^^

This is all well and good but when you extend the curtasy as to why you need help you get no reply from the friend. It's get frustrated when you can't get any friend to join you.

Edited by OzyRevenant: 12/1/2016 11:07:29 PMI read through the comments on this page and must say they are all good ideas. I am a level 40 , but a new player and in my 60's trying to learn something new. I thoroughly enjoy the game and most of the players I come across are helpful or willing to help. So thank you to those players. Particular emotes would also help and a couple are already there , the point & the dance can be utilized for this kind of communication. I have often wished I had the point emote but will not part with extra cash in game. I confess that I am not a fan of the micro-transactions in game when you have already bought it. Good Idea Me Noobatron

1 ReplyEdited by SilverCyric: 10/8/2014 7:25:10 PMGood tip, I get random people inviting me all the time, and I've helped quite a few strangers through tough stuff, but a little note in the invite that says, raid or help with mission. Just a quick little blurb so I know if I'm in the mood and on the right character before I join up. I also had a crazy idea, how about making a sort of in game sign language. Example, you can walk up to someone, point, run a circle around them and sit, that means you want to join up for a raid, or to points and a wave means lets group up, if they sit down means they don't want to, it they dance they agree, maybe dance then point means yes but I have no mic... Whatever we want, but I think if we get a good group starting, it could spread and be widely implemented...

True. I always reply to a request with an explanation of what a person wants, I always ignore random 'Play Destiny' messages.

[/quote] Preach my Brutha! I totally ignore, and delete, random invites. But, if somebody sends me a message asking for help with something particular I tend to help them as best I can.

1 ReplyGot an invite from a guy and then another guy joined, I supposed he was invited too. So I was thinking heroic strike or something. Nope vault of glass pops up, mind you I was level 24 at the time. He was trying to three man the vault? With two lvl 24s? Ha

38 RepliesIt would also be nice to flag ourselves as: Looking For Anything Looking For Strike Looking For Raid Looking For Campaign Looking For Crucible Looking For Bounties Not Looking Do Not Accept Invites That way if someone wanted to invite a player to do the Raid, and this player was only on doing Bounties, the invite would fail. My default stance in past games is I'm generally willing to help, but I'd prefer a message about it first.

Humans are like engrams, only they get worse as you level up to psychotic. The problem is you can't see the engram to know the danger level.

5 Repliesactually i don't send a message before, but instead of writing "play destiny," i erase that and write something like "level 26 weekly strike?" i feel it is succinct and gets the point across enough.

Word.

Gotta agree with this, I've received so many randoms ( that's what I call them) since getting to 29 I'm considering displaying an offline status when I play.
-
This is exactly why I hate going to the Tower now. *Level 25 sees a 30 at the Tower. Jizzez. Sends FR / Inv. Throws sock under the bed.*
-
Slinging random invites everywhere, is my second least favorite thing. Repeatedly spamming invites is my least favorite. If I didn't accept it the first time..
-
Absolutely. Even if it's someone I know and have played with before, I'll always send a message first to see if they are actually in a position to (and want to) join.
-
Thank you!!! I've had this happen to me in Destiny and countless other online games, if you can't take 2 minutes to tell me why you need help, why should I take 20 minutes to help you?
-
100% agree. I ignore random invites. It's just nice to have someone at least send a message first so I know what to expect.

-
This. Happens to me multiple times a play session. I would be more inclined to help strangers if they said hello first.

2 RepliesEdited by Mad Koopa: 10/4/2014 12:54:26 AMNot having many friends on Psn has been making it incredibly hard for me to obtain my Thorn on the final part of the strike -.-. I can only solo so much with my current load out lol. And I agree flagging available for content would be nice :0
-
I feel the same way. I'll get random invites but I don't know why they are inviting me. Mist of the time I have a plan already for what I'm doing that day. So it would be nice to know what you're wanting before you just invite me

Ever since my clan beat the raid and I equipped the chatter white shader: I've been getting random VoG invites at the tower.

Here! Here! Please, default "play destiny" doesn't help. I think to myself...I am playing. Plus, I might not know that I want to join you. Maybe you are doing something that interests me. Or, sadly, maybe not...
-
No one likes getting spammed invites either. I got the first one. No need for three or four more.
-
Actually accepted a raid request, they sent a message. Have played a couple more times with them.
-
I have been invited to a party so many times today without knowing why they want me to join, it just gets irritating.
