Fireteams?

[Bronco Bill]

Hi all. Just wanted to know where I would look for members to create a fireteam. I went on the bungie site where you can join fireteams, and look for others by creating one, but that was not successful. The people there that are looking for someone to join a fireteam usually want people that are for 1 event. I joined a few but the leaders never appeared, so everyone leaves. Then you get arrogant leaders that just are too aggressive about winning straightaway, and cannot bare having to take time. I enjoy the game purely for pleasure. Sure, it's great to get through a strike, or whatever, without dying, but so what if you die...you revive in a few seconds. I enjoy strikes, but as per usual, the other 2 members of that strike seem to want to race ahead to the final encounter instead of killing everything before that, then kill the final "boss" as quick as possible. In reality they are not team players. I am in a clan, but with most of them being the other side of the pond, the times are all out. I loved the raid, but you need 6 players for those. All the people I was in the raid with were of "mature" age. So where does one look for a "mature" fireteam?......and forget about asking everyone you come across whilst playing, that just sounds desperate......and I ain't that desperate. I'm looking for long-term team mates with a sense of team-work. Thanks.

LFG in general is a mix bag, I generally had really bad experience with bungie site so for next time use this discord server https://discord.com/invite/d2pclfg

[Bronco Bill]

Cheers Rayz. I am on that server, but do not know where I would post such a question as I put already. It seems to be a massive site/server, and I have already encountered a bad-tempered woman player that cannot contain herself..Do I create my own server?

[Bronco Bill]

Ahh yes....I see now Rayz. Scroll down to "fireteams"........thanks

There's also a sub forum on the destiny 2 steam forums that's about LFG.

i not see any issue or need to use discord. since you just start play here. not an endder is need NF master or raid . or some dungeon is not have match makering.

OP has near 600 hours which is more than enough to be considered a 'endgame' player. It doesn't take thousands of hours to get in endgame content.

Thanks all. Met up with another on lfg, did a hero nightmare strike, and we had good fun. We are pretty similar and decided to team up. So the forum/server works......or did for me the 1st time round. I am pretty easy going, and so is the other I teamed up with. Apparently they had been having the same issues with finding "compatible" team members. We are not interested or bothered about scores of o or 1 million, that is really irrelevant, and sort of goes into my first post. Who is part of the team is the most important.

Cool

Can I add you? I've been looking for similar teammates to play with on occasion. I'm kinda shy and play just for fun, I've been looking in different places to find like minded people and haven't had much luck haha

[Bronco Bill]

Of course @ A_Whole_Sleeve_Of_Ritz

thats indeed what happens all the time run run run and go to the end off mission not fun take your time in missions i got i couple good groups in the steam app make a fireteam tell what you are looking for helps a lot

@ Eidetik. I understand your comments, thanks. The game itself is excellent. Yes, the PVP is to be honest, very poor. The game itself last a minute or two at most, and just becomes boring. You are correct in stating that the groups in discord seem to be for raids, or fireteams to help someone out on a particular event. Joining a clan seems to be a waste of time, the only plus is you get a few miserable tokens from the clan person in the tower, but the clan itself never seem to be together.
The parts of the game that everyone wants to visit are those that require groups of 3-6, and if you cannot find those people to join you, then forget it.
I yearn for an open-world PVP scenario, where weapons are similar, and no mismatch. I want a game that allows for stealth, taking as much time as you need, and no open-world closing in on you to force you into a small circle. Games that require purchases to win are getting old-fashioned and people are catching on to that. Sell a game that requires no more purchasing, but instead sell the worlds to interact on. For example: Bungie could have sold the cosmodrone as a PVP scene, then you could buy the EZR as another PVP scene...and so forth. There are always ways for a company to make money if they sit and think about it, instead of trying to dupe us out of money for 2 minute games. Stop giving away other players positions via the red on the radar, let the player use their initiative....just as in real life.
I may just look at other games, as trying to find team members is certainly not easy.

If you join clan and not interact with it, it's your problem.

If you really want open world PVP experience just play Rust or The Division

[Bronco Bill]

You cannot interact with a clan when none of them are on. So it's not my problem, it's a problem with clans themselves. Everyone has an opinion about how others interact with other players, but rarely look at the bigger picture. Many players on destiny are "seasoned" players and have friends that they join up with. Finding players that are on the same time zone, have the same outlook, and are not "know-it-all's", is pretty difficult. I guess that could be said for most games where you look for fellow players.
Saying all that, it still does not retract from the fact that many people are finding the same problem as myself. The game is great, but relies on teams being forged to complete certain tasks, which for some is nigh on impossible. The prices for seasons and so forth are not cheap.
The game has options for joining in on certain tasks, such as gambit, strikes, etc...without being on a team, so why not for raids? Raids require a team of up to 6 before starting. Yes, you can do them solo...if you're good enough. Why can't we do strikes ourselves in that case? instead of teaming up with some fool that just wants to run ahead to the end part.
The game is not flawless. It has inherent structural flaws that are not being addressed. I love the game but believe that us "paying" people have a right to air our views about the game. If I purchased a cup of coffee and it was half-full I would bring it back. This is no different, we cannot do certain tasks that we have paid for without having a team.
I just purchased Deadside so expect to be playing that often. However, advising others to go play another game is not the way forward. Constructive conversation regarding the issues that I, (and others), have raised, is the way forward and to a better player experience.
If the makers of destiny want to get more players they need to address the issues that are facing them, not bury their head in the sand and ignore.

Yes, it's your problem joining clans that are not active enough. You can interactive them if you have discord or destiny app.

Most of game mechanics are not really hard, if you running activity with first timers don't be surprised you gonna fail a lot. You always can take sherpa runs.

There never be mm for raids because they are build from ground up to do it with premades. If someone left you can always go to lfg and make a post that you need one and you are on this mad this. MM raids would be horrible because people would not kwtd, troll and not gonna use vc.

The game is made to have premades team. it was made to play with friends.

Tbh Discord is part of the issue. Pretty much all online games I play have dead clan / guild chats because everyone just sits on Discord. Usually when I'm playing a game I just want someone to play with not someone I need to socialise and interact with all the time.
