[Steam] Why do I need Discord for raiding?

I don't normally try to run raids, but when I do, it's a PITA. Why do I need Discord? Are the people teaching raid looking for compensation? What if I don't know what to do and join a fireteam that requests, 'KWTD'? Why is Bungie okay with this? (I would of thought that with how much they invest in raids that they would want it accessible to their entire player base to enjoy. ) Is there no better way to join a fireteam besides typing /join and some crazy ID? When is the best time to try and find a fireteam? Why is guided games still in beta? Can we have guided games better integrated into the Destiny 2 app? Join and getting a two minute warning when a guide has been located would be nice. Give me time to go about my business while I wait.. Is it too late in Destiny's life cycle to get improvements to how people get into the raid? IDK, just bored and want to do new content.. back to the not finding the right raid to join..

    Discord is not mandatory. It mainly serves as a communication platform, but you can use others. There are also raid guides you can spend a few minutes watching so you can get a hang of the mechanics. If you want to do it blind, make your own group. Making challenges that players need to band together to complete is how you build communities. You can do it.

  • [quote]Why do I need Discord?[/quote]You dont really, only if the team is requiring it for communication. There is no game requirement for it. [quote]Are the people teaching raid looking for compensation?[/quote]Not in most cases, but be aware there are scammers out there who will try stuff. [quote]What if I don't know what to do and join a fireteam that requests, 'KWTD'?[/quote]Then you made a mistake and people will probably be upset for wasting their time. [quote]Why is Bungie okay with this?[/quote] Why wouldnt they be? People are allowed to play the game with whomever they want, if people want to just do fast runs with others who know the raid, fine, if they want to take time to teach, thats fine too. [quote]Is there no better way to join a fireteam besides typing /join and some crazy ID?[/quote] Not really, unless you move to console. [quote]When is the best time to try and find a fireteam?[/quote]whenever you are ready to play [quote]Why is guided games still in beta?[/quote]Because its not done yet [quote]Can we have guided games better integrated into the Destiny 2 app? Join and getting a two minute warning when a guide has been located would be nice. Give me time to go about my business while I wait..[/quote] You are welcome to give your imput, that is why it is in beta. [quote]Is it too late in Destiny's life cycle to get improvements to how people get into the raid?[/quote]No, as there are at least 3 years more to go. [quote]IDK, just bored and want to do new content.. back to the not finding the right raid to join..[/quote]take your time, make sure you do some homework, watch some raid vids, learn the strats make sure you have the gear most teams use, and then reply to an lfg or make your own.

    • The in game chat isn't the best and a lot of people use Discord for the voice channels and to keep in contact about running other content when available. I know that why my friends use Discord.
