Is anyone slightly intimidated by finding Raid groups
It might just be me but I'm very intimidated by doing raids nowadays. I've done and finished VoG hard a bunch of times and ive done crota but I've had a couple bad experiences that have kind of made me wary of doing raids. I'm not the best player, not by far. There's been a few times when i was still level 31 and the entire raid group blamed EVERY SINGLE WIPE on me and made fun of me for not having a gally. There has been two occasions where i spoke and the rest of the raid i was being virtually humped and like some of them were shouting very rude comments at me for being a female. And probably the most annoying experience was when i got kicked by a bunch of giggling squeakers for the sole reason that i was a girl and "girls arent good gamers". From all these past experiences and the added weight of very bad social anxiety, finding a raid group can be very hard for me, at least in the recruitment forums on the app. Has anyone else had annoying situations like above or am i just unlucky with finding good groups?

I usually raid with my friends but I just found another group that's chill and we run all raids in one day. Probably takes 2-3 hours at most.

On ps4?

Think you've just been unlucky. You can get some real characters on lfg. If you need raiding teams, my friends and I are always willing to bring in new players as long as everybody gets along. M/F doesn't matter. Add me if you want. We're usually on evenings and late night. CESandman

Add PremiumDisick I have several groups I could introduce you to more than one of which include females as well.

Edited by OldboyVicious: 7/12/2015 11:23:14 PMSend me a friend request, I'm in a super chill experienced raid group. We don't rage have a decent sense of humor about things, and love having more people to raid with. We don't just carry newbies through with the old "sit over here, hide, don't die... it will just be a second until we cheese this part..." it's more fun to play through, even wiping on purpose at certain parts so newbs can practice with the relic, sword, etc and experience different roles. Wed be happy to have ya. PSN ID on PS4: OLDBOYvicious

Nope finding one is the problem For me anyway

Be honest in a post when looking for a group, most people are willing to help noobs learn the Raids.

Edited by Drrtbag: 7/12/2015 11:20:50 PMLFG can be a real crap shoot in regards to meeting good people. Just gotta play the numbers. If someone is a prick delete them and find more people. Eventually you'll find a steady group you're comfortable with. I'm on ps4. I'll raid with you. Add ZOMBIE-SI_AYER. That's a capital i with an underscore for the L in my name.

Add suttzy il raid with ya anytime ps4

LFG can be a pain at times, because you never know who you'll get. Best thing you can do is add the players that you click well with. My wife and I play regularly with our regular group. I'd extend an invite to you, but we ate on Xbox.

2 RepliesTo me it seems like all the people who use to be on LFG have left and a new round of people have taken over. There will always be the elitest post and thats just how it is. My biggest problem is usually people LFM with a set criteria. You match it and message them where they want (site or on system) and its blatently ignored, this I just don't understand. If you need a hand with something feel free to send me an invite, I can remember 26 being the elites, than the 30, 31's, and now the 34's.

I almost exclusively raid with my clan for those reasons. Every once in a while i try lfg and forums but its rare. I generally isolate those types of people that make fun of others if they aren't as good or dont have all the rare weapons and i will act a little mean towards them so they get the idea that they should shut up. For me raiding is about the group as a whole not just about weapons or individuals you're only as strong as your weakest link. I stress always making the weakest link stronger that way they get better too. I want everyone to raid. Unless you're a douche like some of these people. Then i dont like you and ill let those people know always:)

Always look for people to join you, not the other way around helps. Trust me its so much easier this way. Reason one. You can kick people who are buttfaces. Reason two. See reason one, and you can choose who you want in your fire team. I've met my crew through lfg, but I've gotten some bad teams from it as well. It's hit or miss unfortunately but don't base it off of not having a weapon or being a girl.

I could see this for a girl mostly because a lot of dudes are dick heads.

1 ReplyEdited by shadowknexsestus: 7/12/2015 11:09:34 PMTalk to me! Im on PS4 and I've done everything I could to fill my friends list with only supportive and fun-loving friends. If you ever need help with anything, absolutely anything, you can message me. If its Nightfall or Vault of Glass or Crota's End or Prison of Elders or Trials of Osiris or Crucible or just leveling a new character up. I love helping everybody and anybody. Just message me here or PlayStation and I'll help you whenever I can.

Most of the time I don't even talk to the groups I find strictly call outs and then I mute my mic again
-
Raid groups no I've done them so many times I could do it with my eyes closed. Trials groups on the otherhand yes very imtitidating.
-
Just ditch them if they're assholes. Don't let them get you down, eventually you will find a good group or friend's you can enjoy the activities with. On lfg I always avoid "VoG hard 33+ with Gjallarhorn" Usually they are the scrubs that want things handed to them. All activities can be done without a ghorn, I'm on ps4 add me if you want.

4 RepliesYea, I had two bad experiences. One, where I was a 31 doing Crota Hard with an LFG group of five people including myself. We made it all the way to the Deathsinger with no issues, and got past that pretty easily. But the Crota area was gonna be hard, and I knew it, so I kind of stayed back and made sure I didn't die. The one time I stepped out, I got murdered by a Knight that wandered into the Crystal Room. "If that was the 31 just boot them already." Yea, boot me when that was the first time I've died to anything... Second, I was running a Crota Hard CP on LFG, and wanted to get it done. It was to be my first completion. We got to Crota and two of our guys just up and leave. Ugh. So I looked on LFG for a few people, which they all quit after about the 2nd fail. The original guys and I were getting irritated at this point and just wanted to complete it, so I looked to LFG once more and found one of [i]them[/i]. The ones who say they are "Gods" and are legends at using the sword. Oh dear, Ego, here we go. Invited him, he joined, told us what to do, and we beat within two or three tries. Of course, a few of us died from the Thrall behind the wall when Crota got enraged, and he insisted on teabagging because we were noobs and didn't deserve what we got. But anyway, I decided that on LFG, the best thing to do is request a casual group that isn't gonna get mad or quit based on the fact we fail a few times. Don't lose faith in it, just find groups that are cool with everything. If you want, hit me up. I usually Raid once to a few times per week with friends or LFG.

You're just unlucky I guess. I find decent groups when I go looking. I'm able to solo Crota on normal and hard if you need help. I'm also a bet capable team member when it comes to VoG. Day 1 player, know everything like clockwork. If you ever need a friend just add me Reqiemzer0. On ps4.
-
You're unlucky in the sense that you don't have Gjallarhorn, aren't super badass at the game and are indeed a girl playing with randoms. Having said that though, there are a ton of groups out there that don't care about a few wipes and play for fun.
-
3 RepliesFor VOG hard look for groups looking for 30+ And Crota 32+ usually in those groups you have at least 2 very good players that don't mind giving out pointers and can carry the raid. Stay away from groups that are asking 34+ w/max Gally.
-
There are dickheads on the internet. If they give you a hard time just leave. They lose a fireteam member, making it harder for them. You have checkpoint to find another group.

Edited by rpappy96: 7/12/2015 11:01:47 PMMy psn is what my name is on the forums. I don't run raids often, but I like to help out my friends because what goes around comes around. So if you wanna run a raid I will. I promise I'm a normal person haha. And to actually answer your questions, I'm not a girl, and have a gally, and I'm max level, so finding raid groups is easy, but I'm not great at trials, so finding a group for that's really hard for me. And when I do, I get blamed for all losses regardless of performance. Yesterday these 2 guys offered to carry me and I did better than them and got kicked out

12 RepliesI don't know these people and learning seems to be a point of ridicule. I don't like joining teams for raids or crucible because it's a club I'm not F'ing in, and without legendary and exotic gear, you don't get in there. I'm not trying to be known as somebody to carry or get booted because I'm learning. I actually avoid playing now because it's almost all that's left, and I don't want much to do with it. Not everybody, mind you, because I've had some very friendly people offer to help me, but other 8 or 9 out of 10 just
