Post on lfg saying its your first time, wanna learn and have fun. If your level is high enough, try Scourge of the Past first, since it's much shorter and simpler than Last Wish. Don't try to join other groups, they always assume you know what to do.

Honestly it's the headset. Hearing other people's mouth noises to be exact. Snorting, sniffing, smacking, sucking their teeth, crunching Doritos with their mouth open, heavy breathing right into the mic etc. It all just makes my skin crawl. I can't help it.

Dunno really. At first I wasn't all that interested so never bothered. But now I'd quite like to get Acrius etc. Just not got the friends playing anymore to get a group together and my few experiences with lfg in D1 put me off that route. I suppose I'm like a lot of people and are waiting for someone to ask me to join a group instead of reaching out. Don't get me wrong, I know that probably isn't going to happen, but I bet you the majority of people are hoping someone else reaches out.

Just go to guided games.... I've done 19 guided games and never have they waited more than 45 minutes to find us. We find people instantly. We ussaully get the raid done in less than 50 minutes since we can litterrally just 5 man the whole raid.

I heard the raids this time around are a lot harder than King's Fall and SIVA. So I got scared.. Also I have never raided yet in D2 and I don't wanna waste people's time. I feel I do not have good DPS weapons yet.

Because of ahole people and game is DEAD!

I've hardly raided due to having to take care of my young son. Due to him it is very hard to be able to dedicate such time block, and since I don't want to be the one dropping out and breaking up the team I simply hardly ever do them. And I am not the only one where family life prevents us from wanting to do such. Dropping out of a strike, crucible or whatever is of no concern since who cares, a falling apart raid team simply sucks.

I would love to raid! However, I prefer to play video games with people I know in real life. Too many bad on-line experiences with people I don’t know, so I simply won’t try anymore. This is why my clan is comprised strictly of people who truly know each other, face to face. We joke that nobody can get away with anything shady because we know where each other sleeps (and it’s true)! 😁 Raids are a lengthy, stressful endeavor. They require high levels of patience, calm, and trust in addition to a big chunk of time. When raiding with my real-life friends and family, we all had a great time together, even though we rarely completed anything. Failing didn’t matter though because we raided as something challenging to do [i]together[/i], win or lose. Most of us — my clan — also prefer to learn on the run. We actively avoid videos and walkthroughs. They feel like spoilers to us, borderline cheating. When we solved a raid encounter, [b]we[/b] solved it [i]for ourselves[/i]. Solving the challenges is an important part of the fun. Other people have strong — and usually toxic — reactions to that sentiment. This makes us largely unwelcome in other people’s runs. That said, we gladly accept tips from other people we run into (IRL) for an encounter we fail to solve in a session, so it’s not at all that we’re close-minded about accepting help. We just prefer organic knowledge transfers instead of anonymous spoon-feeding. Destiny has unfortunately fallen out of favor among my friends and family. We play other games together; most notably Overwatch, The Division, Fallout 76, and DragonBall Fighter Z. We’re looking forward to The Division 2 and Anthem. Some of us still play Destiny together, but not often enough to raid anymore. I miss raiding. But it’s more important [i]who[/i] I raid with than merely [i]that[/i] I’m raiding.

[quote]Hey all non raiders! Just a quick Question. [u]Why dont you raid?[/u] Is it because they are hard? Is LFG not an option for you? Are they too time consuming? Have you tried using Guided Games? Trying to gather info as the why the Raid completions are so low, thanks for your time.[/quote] I didn't raid in D2 because I got tired of being drilled like I'm in a job interview [i]to play a -blam!-ing videogame.[/i] Plus the leviathan looked kinda stupid and uninteresting to me.

I just don’t find them fun. The mechanics are convoluted and unless you have a full group to regularly play with, it’s a terrible experience. What is the correlation for playing a timed and death defying game of match the pictures on the wall during a boss fight? I just think it’s convoluted and arduous. I don’t like spending 7 hours of a day getting to Riven only for everyone to be tired of it and back out because everyone was either completely new to it or inexperienced. I would GLADLY limit myself to a single piece of raid gear a week for a version of the raid that was more like a strike. Because then it would actually be fun. Which is what I want out of my games over anything else. Synchronized mechanics where one person messes up thus ruining it makes it a tedious an unfun trial and error experience. I don’t want my games to feel like work or a chore. I game to escape. The way this game is set up is really divisive and as it pertains to raids, creates an elitist community. I don’t want to do it every week because they are not fun so I will never be “good” at it. I just want to do it once just to do it and there is no place here for someone like that.
