Should I Give Up

[PoorMan Nate]

I've been think of leaving Destiny for good

Why? lets see most of the content vastly requires a group for you to play, i can only play Vanguard, Dare, or Replay Witch Queen campaign on classic (played legendary difficulty alone was not fun). Can't do Raids, Grand Night Falls, Dungeons, etc because one my only small group of friends (slowly dwindling) doesn't have time or just doesn't enjoy playing it anymore. and two LFG Discord Servers or the Companion app just don't help at all most of the ones i find require mics, knowledge of raids even though if you never done them cause to this day I never completed a raid, or are requiring very specific players with certain builds. or just nobody wanting to help you at all.

And with the current LightFall expansion and season of the Defiance not being received well, is there even a point staying? like Destiny and its Community feels like a club of abusers who enjoy in others suffering and struggles.

There are several ways to find groups for activities.
It is up to you to make use of them.

u want to do raid without mic lol

[Black Hammer]

If you want to play multiplayer action games, you should probably invest in a mic.

[Montana]

no

[R A Z E R]

Hence why the sherpa channel on discord exists, dungeons dont require mics and you can easily get away playing without a mic in some raids if everybody else knows what they're doing.

Maybe try investing in a mic if you really want to get in group based activities, doesn't have to be a expensive mic.. I use a 30 euro mic from amazon/ebay and do fine with it.

Bungie's Fireteam Finder is out there to let you squad up with people... It does help if you read or watch a guide of the activity if you haven't run it though, just to get an idea and not be just gunning randomly.

The problem is there is no mic needed. Only for Raid content and perhaps a few Dungeons.

Warframe doesn't need a mic? And their content is balanced correctly and split between community where you can do what you want and it doesn't just cater to the one Hardcore Player

And that is what Destiny 2 is suffering from. No content caters to the Casual player. Unless you rinse and repeat Vanguards ect.

You can do tons of content without a mic on Warframe. You don't even require to talk. You can if you want to, but the game is balanced that way... it's not forcing you to.

It suffers from the lack of an LFG system within the game.

Raids are what, like 10% of all content in the game? Maybe even less. I would even say that Raids is what sets Destiny apart from other similar games. An activity that requires coordination and communication among players. If you take that requirement out of raids and make them based on the idea that "any casual without a microphone can do it," it's not raids anymore. They would just be 6-man strikes.

So the problem isn't that the game isn't designed around casual players. Casual players don't even want to try. Really, it's not as hard as you think. Start with dungeons, look up the guide on the internet, and find a team on the LFG site of Bungie. You don't even have to talk to anyone. As for raids, If you're afraid of the whole "Looking for 5 experienced playets, must have 100 clears" thing, try starting the search yourself. You'd be surprised how many players don't mind helping newbies complete a raid.

Maybe I'm wrong, though. Perhaps the fact that the last raid is so braindead easy that people complete it 2-man with almost no communication, indicates that Bungie are listening to the casuals and now all raids in the future will be like that.

I couldn't find a group to do the Wishender Quest. So I did it myself and completed the Dungeon.

So not even LFG is working.

So go play warframe and stop making these non sense post crying about systems you dont understand, its very clear you are bad at d2 and dont want to learn and improve.

I actually do play Warframe. And it's nonsense not non sense.

The biggest single issue with Destiny is the lack of support for matchmaking. Having said that, it is supported, just not in-game. You need to create an account on the website and use Find Fireteam on there.

The content seems to have moved more towards multiplayer in Lightfall, mainly because of the difficulty increase and the location of all the pinnacles - they are mostly in multiplayer activities. Solo, the game is not as enjoyable as it used to be.

I don't know what the answer is for you, I am more of a solo player so I am faced with the same dilemma. For the moment, I have stopped playing.

Mics are only for raids, you don't need them for other lfg activities like dungeons, nightfalls, and other legend activities. You don't even have to communicate in most non raid activities if everyone knows what to do.

Newest raid is 100% doable without mics. I've done it six times and only communication needed is deciding runners, calling out planets, and calling out refuge and dps for Nezarec.

I took a break 2 seasons ago. I finished the season super fast and got burnt out. Currently re-downloading it again to see if its worth my time again. I was a solo player primarily who would just use the destiny app for chest runs, or p;lay crucible by myself.
A break is probably what you need. This game does get stale at times. I wont buy light fall until it goes on sale but ya.
