LFG is one of the worst experiences I've had in any online game

[Hunter]

Took 7 hours completing King's Fall with someone raging and leaving after every wipe. Also people not using push to talk with jet turbines blowing into their Turtle Beach microphones. Genuinely reminds me why I had quit in the first place.

Or just make friends and finish in an hour and a half.

EIB join my clan man we're all dope ass people and would love to have more friends to play with! we do everything destiny

that is why i stay away from that cancer that is LFG. 9 out of 10 times i have used lfg its been a real **** show. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Stopped using LFG back in D1 on the PS4.

[Cruddy]

Yeah I only use LFG with friends to fill one or two slots and always have them do easy ♥♥♥♥ like add clear, but even then some people will muck it up.

Are you guys one of those clans that still boot people for certain periods of inactivity even after somebody announces it before hand out of courtesy? I keep having that problem and like I do play this game quite religiously lol, I just can't help when things in my personal life prevent me from doing so.

I honestly would have just quit long before you got to 7 hours.

I use lfg alot and mostly can get a feel for how well the raid will be within the first 10 minutes. I generally have a good experience, but have had a few bad apples.

I got very close to a flawless vow clear with a full lfg team too a few weeks ago. We only failed at last second during rhulk final stand. Not the individual's fault imo, was dumb but ah well.

But in the end a clan or friends will always be a better experience!

Sounds all poorly coincidental unfortunately, especially when pugging. Sorry for your experience.

I like that saying. "Too many chiefs. Not enough Indians." Is that not the damn truth. A lot of people could learn a thing or two from just an ounce of humility.

Well said.

This game not having accessible LFG is pretty much why numbers spike so much and dip to lows frequently. Other MMOs allow casuals to complete raids with very little hassle, and then provide the elite with ultra hard versions.

This game skips having an easy low-reward mode for casuals and just says "lmao screw you just get good and find a clan to drag you through".

Bungie has NOTHING to lose by introducing an easier version of raids, with lesser rewards, for LFG/casuals, and keeping the current versions as-is for clans/elite players. But they listen to the no-life 1% of the game and don't implement that.

These are the same people who keep crying that PvP is going to have proper matchmaking now. They won't be able to style on lesser players anymore.

I hope the social feature overhaul coming with Lightfall will reduce the pain of LFG. Having it in game won't only reduce the ammount of layers you need to deal with but also might encourage people to use the in-game text chat AND voice chat.
Relying entirely on Discord is a mistake and it's about damn time we do something about it.

It will probably only reduce the need for discord when doing more basic stuff like nightfalls, dungeons, or master activities. While it will probably see use for console players doing raids I imagine most people players will continue to use discord for its better voice chat unless bungie improves the built in voice chat.

It will not change anything. If they will not update vc netcode, everyone will switch to Discord.

I’ve never seen somebody so confident in their complete and utter misunderstanding of this game and the hows and whys of things. Impressive.

Lfg can be hit or miss at times. Seems that this time it was a miss.

There's a factor in knowing how to recognize red flags : if you see a "kwtd have div" post for a raid, you can be 99% sure it won't be fun people.
