Let me begin by saying I am a life long Destiny veteran, there's very few raids I haven't done and the rest I've done to death with friends or through LFG as I've been doing lately because my Clan, while active, is pretty much dead and ignores any and all requests to do anything if I initiate them.
I'd like to think I'm a decent player at PvE content, I'm garbage at PvP but do them as the mood strikes me but today I wanted to do Deep Stone Crypt for the first time.
So I wait for quite a while and finally get matched up with a Clan, don't remember the name sadly and unfortunately we're off to a bad start already as all but 1 of the members (later it turns out a 2nd person also had a mic, but was silent for some reason) had a mic and they did precious little to explain anything to me.
Matter of fact, the first encounter past the sparrow chase against the cold, I apparently caused us to wipe and just get told to not use Arc Soul, no explanation given, but I do what I'm told and don't use it and we pass the Light and Dark room encounter without much of a hitch after that.
We make it to Atrax-1, I get to see Taniks again for the first time in ages, that was pretty cool, and proceed to get told absolutely nothing, the 2 people that had mics were completely silent throughout this encounter, I myself trying to communicate with them that I have no idea what's going on, what I should be doing or where I should be going.
After several wipes I eventually turn on Text Chat to see if they're trying to communicate with me that way, and they sort of are, I just keep getting told to GO UP! GO UP!
I'm sitting there wondering, where am I supposed to go up? I eventually figure out myself that you can utilize pods to travel between a lower and upper arena, I wasn't aware of that until I just hopped into one on my own.
Met with silence once again, we keep this going for over an hour, eventually making it to final stand, but something goes wrong and we all wipe; unfortunately it was all downhill from there as we never made it back to that point again, meanwhile I eventually figure out what everybody is trying to do and I now know what to do with a debuff that's supposed to be launched out an airlock to damage the boss or something.
But that was about it, I get one bit of communication through voice chat that we almost had it but the Clan that was supposed to be guiding me through the game just abandons the raid and leaves me behind.
They explained nothing, didn't communicate with me beyond GO UP, I'm beyond confused and frustrated with the whole experience.
Then to top it all off, I try to do another Guided Game, get matched up with a Clan that immediately abandons me before the activity even starts.
I just want to learn how to do the raid and get some of the weapons and armor I've been missing out on.

1 ReplyGuided is a -blam!- mess now. I did last wish through guided games a long time ago micless because those guys spoke a language I didn't we communicated through shooting each and emotes. We did last wish in 42 minutes with no mics. That's insane the whole damn raid in 42 minutes you can go see it's still my fastest time. I tried to do vow the other day as I just came back to the game. The guys had no mic so I said meeeh not ideal but we will see. We didn't even get past the first encounter they had absolutely no clue what they were doing let alone to guide someone else. So I said meh bad experience and chalked it up to try again the next day. I got a totally different team that had mics and spoke English and we're playing a guide in the background they had absolutely no clue how to even do the part from the mission at the start of the raid. Died over and over and then left as guides. I don't claim to be some amazing raider I've done them all except vow obviously but I'll just grab an lfg team and go next time I just like guided because it use to be a friendly and cool way to meet teams to do raids and learn new stuff.

2 RepliesYou are better off watching yt guides and post lfg looking for 5 guardians that don't know either and just figuring it out together. You will have a better, more fun experience
