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?

if your on xbox one or 360 add me GT same as above we do raids all the time never mind helping ppl
-
I want to choose no, but it seems a little rude to you
-
I was for sure. It took me a long time to get into raids. I'm a day one player and really haven't done as many as most I think. It took me a while to get into Crota in the beginning being hindered by my lack of G-Horn. I hated how that gun was a prerequisite for so many things. Still don't have one.

Depends on who you play with. I've had people not let me be sword bearer because I'm a hunter (wait wut?) where I wanted to straight up leave. I've played with many people who were really cool and we were able to talk casually throughout the raid and still get it done quickly. There are many kinds of people but you'll never meet the good ones if you don't try to, so normally I just took a chance and joined some groups. I've run into some cool people who I still play with. Although it might be tough sometimes, there are plenty of cool people out there (male and female) you can play with, you just have to give it a go and find them. Good luck to you.

Yes I would say 20% of the people from Lfg are total a$$$hats the rest are just fine I don't care if you have a gally or not those are in the 20% group With 34 no reason to need gally for anything Yes it would help skolas go faster but IB and hoc or heavy arc weapon would work just as well

Finding raid groups can be intimidating at first especially if you have never done a raid because there can be alot of unwelcoming people out there. When yoy find a good group its worth it.

Sorry to hear that you had some bad experiences with people like that. I've had moments like that where people mocked me for not knowing what to do (on my first VoG) or that we had a hard time taking down Crota on Hard (taunted me also for not having Gjallarhorn or using my Truth). Not all of us are like that though. I like to laugh and joke around while playing in a group, and there have been times when I have gotten well above PG-13, but it is usually only to make my friends laugh or said in a light manner (if anyone ever asked for me to stop I would). It is a game to be enjoyed, and I have met some wonderful people out there. But on the same note, I've met people who has made me want to reach through my screen and slap the taste out of their mouth. But don't lose faith in your brothers and sisters yet Guardian. Some of us still want to help your Light grow stronger. So may your bullets always find their mark. ^~^

I'm not sure how old you are so it might be considered creepy but adult raid groups would be your best bet. That immature mind set leaves after a certain age in most guys. I raid at night on the west coast so it is usually older people looking to find groups.
-
What do you play on?
-
If you were on ps3 I would help out if I could. Those guys sounded like a bunch of idiots.
-
Hit me up, just messege me saying you are from the forum. I rarely raid but would go in if there was a spot open.
-
No I am very much the same I do not like getting together groups, i feel like I will get into a group of hardcore impatient gamers with no time to help a noob through the raid and unforgiving of mistakes which is why I so rarely raid. I would appreciate doing a hard mode raid with anyone here willing to help someone relatively inexperienced on Xbox 360. I know the mechanics but am not very good at relic in vog or sword in crota

1 ReplyI enjoy meeting people on destiny for raids and stuff I just wish people would talk a bit more they seem scared to speak
-
Add Mikeyirish13, always down for a raid and can show you the tricks people showed me. I usually have a decent group of people around to play.
-
If you need a raid group in general, add me. Gjallarhorn requirements are for idiots who can't do anything except aim and pull the trigger.
-
Im a guy with social anxiety and i can certainly imagine finding a team a daunting task... add to that the prevalent prejudices / horrible behaviour towards female gamers and i dont envy you the task of finding random strike teams for raids
-
Yeah, I am sometimes, but really only on crota. I'm usually the person who makes the raid team, so whenever something goes wrong, it's on me. And God forbid the group leader doesn't know how to run the sword.
-
I wouldn't say whiny scrub, but I just think those raids are now easy enough to do that ppl don't mind others who might not be as good. If on ps4 should add me.
-
You're not alone. For a long time I refused to use LFG because I am an introvert by nature and didn't have a lot of Raid experience. Now it's not such an issue as I have more experience in Raids from doing them with IRL friends. Look into Dames of Destiny. It's similar to Dads of Destiny but more geared to female players.
-
There are always going to be a few bad experiences. I've basically compiled my entire friends list from people I've met off lfg and friends of friends. Find a group of people you're comfortable with and get consistent with them.

1 ReplyWhy do I have to be rude if I vote no? And nice if I'm on your side?

1 ReplyWhere's the "No, but I can understand why you'd feel that way" option?
-
I've mostly had positive experiences but I have quit a raid a couple of times when I just had enough of the idiocy.
-
Been doing it since week 3. Sometimes you find great groups. Sometimes not so great. But you won't know until you do it.
-
I wouldn't say intimidating...but back in the vog days... 6 or 7 groups in a row...all if them full of assholes or immature kids who would spend the while raid taking about getting laid... Pretty much made me give up on raiding unless it was with friends or friends of friends.

1 ReplyBeing a girl gamer is tough, and I think it's only gotten harder in the time I've been doing it. I'm still the oddity. But if you're on PS4, you can add me - username is the same. I totally get it though. It's hard sometimes because it's assumed that you suck. Judgy McJudgerson's don't deserve to live rent free in your head. :) I'm not the greatest gamer in the world - but I make up for it with enthusiasm and attitude. Never give up. :) And never let the suckas get ya down. And YES, interacting with people even of the Internet can trigger social anxiety. Or even general anxiety like mine. Don't judge...
