How do people make friends in this game? DONT JUDGE PLZ
I have bean playing both D1 and D2 from beta and I have soloed 90% of its content including solo flawless ticket on a non solo trials weekend ( sigh ) but i would like to do some of the other content and with no real LFG system and clans mostly just one guy spamming invitee to whom ever will accept with no filter for toxic players I just stick to myself 100% of the time I know that I will get roasted for this thread but I just need to know are there ANY nice people playing this game
- a very lonely and sad player -
p.s. if anyone tells me to kill myself for not having any friends I have already heard that one before get new material ( thanks )

4 RepliesEdited by LloydKrypton: 3/19/2022 11:43:37 PMI never had any luck at making friends ever since I played this game. Everytime I get help with raids or other things most of the people I played with are awfully toxic and talk -BLAM- about me without any offer to help or explain. I got laughed at for not understanding a raid puzzle in the Leviathan Raid. I got trashed talked for not having the correct mods and I didn't understand how mods even worked at the time and the two people just left me without offering to explain what mods do. I had to learn everything by myself and it was awfully miserable. It would be nice if I can actually learn how to do a raid for once. I only founded at least one LFG nice enough to help me get Anarchy before Beyond Light launched and that was the first and last time I actually had fun playing Destiny. Now I completely avoid doing dungeons, raids, exotic quests, trials, and other stuff that involve needing a fireteam because I don't want to get hurt or a mental breakdown and to completely avoid using an LFG because all there is toxic people there from my experience. I also get anxiety when I ask for help because I fear of getting rejected or blocked. Overall I feel your pain.

2 RepliesThis reply is truly from the heart brother- you aren’t missing out on much. Players in this game are incredibly annoying and can be real turds. Everyone thinks they’re the best. Everyone thinks they’re a “Sherpa”. Everyone is pushy and selfish, even the ones who claim to be “sherpas”. If you want to have a real blast, try raiding with 2 “self-proclaimed sherpas” and watch them struggle against each other for the title of “alpha male destiny sherpa” lol. Seriously man, destiny players are turds. Me personally, I don’t squad up unless I absolutely have to for raids. I rarely unmute my mic. When I do, it’s only to give callouts or to tell a punk to stop being a punk. Keep being you. You don’t need anybody else. You’re the best player you know, and I am sure of that. I believe in you. P.S. - this isn’t an invite to play with me. I’m sure you like your space just like I like mine. Just want you to know you’re not alone. I support you.

You don’t. Sorry, fellow loner but the community isn’t the kind for long term teamships.

Edited by Nox Lumina: 3/21/2022 9:03:20 AMBack in House of Wolves, shortly before Taken King, during Moments of Triumph, streamers were grinding to complete it. So e encouraged their chats to hook up with each other and get -blam!- done. Met two lads that way, and we tried to take down Skolas for 5 hours. We are still in a clan and play weekly. TL;Dr try stream chats? [spoiler]Alternatively, our clan always takes new folks. No toxicity and such, but some boys are a bit rare.[/spoiler]

I mean.. I'm no god or top tier raider, but I'm down to chill with just about anyone when I'm on. I play just to have something to do at this point, and like searching for secret items/bugs and other stuff. [i]Always pursue the shiny[/i] I'll usually add anyone, anytime, unless you give me a reason not to lol ResidentRainbows

Do what i do just pick an activity you really love and start sherpin' it, even if you're actually bad at it. On xbox I've too many friends/followers from doing this. and p.s. I'm still bad at it. [spoiler]just be nice, help people, and friendships will follow.[/spoiler]

Towards the bottom are suggestions to make friends if you don't care to read how I made these long term friends I made a post on social media about something in the game in d1 and from that post found out 2 of my irl friends play d1 so we started playing together. I believe another moment we were using lfg to do vog once met 2 or 3 (cant remember this was 2014 or 2015) really chill players who then later on we did kings fall with and they taught us WotM. One of them that we still play with introduced us to more of their friends who then later became our friends too. Another moment in d2 me and an irl buddy of mine were playing crimson doubles, it was getting late and we were gonna hop off for the night but I decided that I was gonna go to the tower first. I loaded in and saw two players messing with the giant traveler ball, me and my friend joined in and just had all types of fun. They asked to go into a crucible game before we all hopped off and we ended became good friends, we still play with one of them to this day. That friend also introduced us to a lot of people too, who ended up becoming friends. I've met tons of players some really nice players others not so nice (or at all..), most of the players on my friends list are from raid lfgs who were just chill players, they didn't get mad for small mistakes and just were very welcoming. That being said not every group is gonna be like that on lfg, so that might not be the best way to make friends. I think the best way in game to make friends would be just being nice, whether you're in the tower or crucible or strikes. Join in on some shenanigans at the tower. Message a good looking guardian and tell them they look awesome. Give someone a compliment who you think is good at that activity youre playing. Social media works too, you could join groups on sites that have them. I know people who have met friends from some discord of some streamer they watched. Sometimes making friends in game comes down to luck as well, so try not to beat yourself up about not having friends to play with. Good luck Also a solo flawless woah, good job lol

Pvp actually All the friends I’ve made in Destiny were actually through playing pvp for whatever reason

1 ReplySo, I sent this person a friend request around 20 hours ago and a message that I had seen this post. No response.
-
That “P.S.” is classic .
-
Its way harder now d1 aseholes were rare compared to d2 .
-
I don’t… just play solo…. Occasionally help some very old gamers in pve but that’s it
-
The world will always have -blam!- in it. You’ve got to meet lots of people and make friends. It’s no different than growing up. Not everyone wants to be everyone’s friend. But you’ll find some out there if you’re willing to weed out the -blam!-
-
Either be a very outgoing person, join a very social clan, or meet people irl that also play.

1 ReplyYea bro there are nice people on this game, just gotta suffer through some dbags until you find them. Lfg on Xbox is a great tool as well, but there are a lot of scum there too. Here’s what I can tell u: i play lfg a lot cuz my clan mates aren’t always on with my schedule so here’s my hot takes: 1. If u join lfg and act like a know it all, friends will not be made 2. If u join lfg and don’t say anything, friends will not be made 3. If u join an lfg and just don’t stop talking, friends will not be made 4. If u join end game content and rock it out with a group, and everyone is laughing and having a good time, just say “hey bro I’m gonna add u for some other runs, GGs” That’s just my take

Edited by aye'mJosh: 3/18/2022 6:32:01 PMMy clan is actually cool. We 7 or 8 subclans with a great discord. It’s usually pretty easy to find folks to raid with or do whatever. We also have raid trainers that will do first time raids with folks and teach mechanics and such. You should check it out. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/260560925/0/0

2 RepliesEdited by Infamous067: 3/18/2022 10:27:15 PMOk to start off, who TF is telling you to hurt yourself? Ill go after that A$$. They need to get that toxic crap out of here. Anyway back to topic, look I mostly play by myself too but if you want someone to play with then just send me a friend request and we can play together. My clan members are not always active but I know a few that are willing to guide you through some raids. They make me kill adds every time so You know I get carried lol. I mostly stick to pvp and I play for fun, you might see me get annoyed sometimes but I would never go out of my way to message someone or be toxic towards anyone. Im the type where I talk smack about every player that kills me with a fusion but they will never ever hear me say or do anything to them. Thats just my way of coping with my anger because lets face it, pvp sometimes is frustrating lol. I don’t really care if you are a good or bad player, I can give some tips too if you really want to improve. I managed to boost a friend from 0.5 to a 1.6 K.D simply showing him powerful builds and ways to get an advantage on other players. So don’t listen to anyone being toxic, those guys are miserable and only want others to feel the same way. Those types are usually teenagers with a lot of emotions so don’t take anything anyone says on the internet to heart. Oh and to answer your question, its really easy to make friends in destiny. All you gotta do is simply ask 😁

Dont play with stuck a holes. They gotta be fun to play with. There are to many players that use other players just for there own benefit.
-
first step is always getting out of your comfort zone. Once you find people you can mesh with, maybe find common ground or even similar interests with, then you're golden. The way you know it's a good bond is if you can talk for hours about almost nothing at all, and still have a better conversation than what was on Seinfeld.
-
I made some really good friends just using the in game chat function when doing solo activities. Most people don't respond but sometimes people do. In PvP I would just say things like, "nice play" when they pulled a clutch win for the team. If they respond and we had a good match I would ask if they wanted to group.

2 RepliesEdited by Mr Fats: 3/18/2022 10:17:48 PMI have been playing Destiny for a long time now, made some online friends at the beginning when I was on xbox via some gaming forum, it was fun, but in the end, I ended up solo. Since then I have joined a couple of clans, never really made "friends" just people I occasionally play online with, but that was years ago, and thats more than enough for me So now I just do as much content solo as I can and when I can't/dont want to do it solo, I go to LFG, almost never had an issue with toxicity, and I have done hundreds of raids. Unless you are looking for someone to log in, play every day for a while, chat about stuff, etc I would stick to solo playing with the occasional LFG group, otherwise you are probably better of joining a clan or a gaming forum, but I am not sure if this one will work, based on well... who knows. On a side note, I think you need to be more positive, I found your message a tad negative, not sure if this is how you are IRL but people dont like being around negativity. Also, dont let the game affect your mood and viceversa.

You’re invited to my clan. There aren’t many of us left, but I’m gonna try and rebuild it. As long as you are friendly, and you seem as such, than you are welcome to join us.

Edited by SolarCerberuS: 3/18/2022 10:08:21 PMAgree the current LFG arrangement is crud. Should be an ingame queue system or teamfinder but thats too hard I guess. As for making friends put the feelers out ask here on these forums I see many many active clans with many players often posting recruitment posts. 👍
-
I just get lucky with the lfg. I also had some friends who branched off to make there own discord servers and invited me. I had one we had bad terms but after awhile of cooling off we became friends again and he trying to invite me to his clan but some reason bungie is acting up and I'm not receiving any invites.

Edited by Sweet Lew 88: 3/19/2022 12:53:33 AMUsually I just send friend requests to people I successfully raid with, mainly because they proved to me they can stay alive, follow directions and can put out DPS. I also send friend requests to people I find friendly from nightfalls and PvP. Join a clan?

Edited by Mii006: 3/18/2022 6:38:37 PMYou just need to play your cards right by looking for clans, join LFG groups, and even through randoms from MM. Make sure you communicate with people. Finally look to impress. ....And asking the right questions helps as well.
