A gaming first for me. · 11:22pm Jul 17th, 2019
Yesterday, I finally made the push to get on Discord and manually get a group together to try Division 2's hardest content; the Operation Dark Hours raid.
To the (most likely few) unfamiliar, a 'raid' is a MMO's hardest group content. The term goes all the way back to the days of Everquest and World of WarCraft, requiring the coordination and cooperation of anywhere from eight to forty players. Division 2 needs eight.
After two hours, I did it.
In my ten years of playing MMOs, I completed my first raid.
I was immensely grateful to the players who took the time to explain things to a newbie, and had the patience when things didn't go according to plan (we wiped against the third boss four times before we finally got it, and I undoubtedly died the most through the whole thing).
I left my very, very dead clan, and joined up with theirs. Looking forward to doing it again and getting another chance at that ever-elusive raid-only Exotic gun.
Wow, they just let you join in on a raid team?
For all of my years playing Destiny 1 & 2, and all of the expansions, not a single team ever, EVER, let me join in a raid team because I didn't have the right weapons, class abilities and specific bonuses on specific pieces of armor. I'll never understand how people can be so demanding of having specific gear and stats in a game THAT'S ENTIRELY RNG FOCUSED.
But still, nice to know that there are people out there who are actually willing to help. Was avoiding the Division 2 raid for the same reason I left Destiny 2, but if this is how it went for you, I might give it a shot.

I mean, I had been working on a raid build for my character, and it still needs work, but this game's RNG needs to be improved. It is far, far too luck-based right now.

Avid raider in destiny 1 and 2, and some group requirements for raids can be excessive, and that’s when I tend to make my own groups. In destiny 2, the easiest way to raid is to join or make an active clan, or to use the100.io

I have the same problem in destiny 2, remember when you wouldn’t be let into a group if you weren’t running gjallahorn?

Yes. Then it became Auto Rifle with 450 fire rate, an energy auto rifle with the same fire rate and an RPG with cluster bombs specifically for a LOOONG time.

You ever see the video of that one guy who got forced into a 4v1 in competitive? Enemy team camped Heavy Ammo and spammed Wardcliff Coil and still lost.
