A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Hey everybody! My wife and I have recently been playing Destiny 2. It's excellent imo and both of us are having tons of fun, except for one little detail...

We need a third person!

We both like to take our time with levels, enjoy the scenery, role-playing our characters... and with most of the level thingies (strikes, vanguard) its required that we have another player with us.

Sometimes that goes well, but more often than not we end up with someone who just rushes through. Totally kills the whole point of why we play!

Is there anyone out there interested in playing with us? Or have advice for finding others besides the fireteam finder thingy? That hasn't really worked so far.

I hope this doesn't violate any rules for posting on this instance!

Thanks everyone!

Edit: fixed the title so people would stop thinking I'm asking for a threesome

I used to change the clock on my ps4 so I could do strikes in peace without being forced into matchmaking. I'm assuming that doesn't still work though.

I'm more of a 'go with the flow' type of person so I'd just take the L with a bad group and hope I didn't get them again, but it definitely made farming some exotics very frustrating. I genuinely couldn't tell you if that trick still works in D2.

I didn't have any particular problem with anyone. I just, like OP, prefer a patient approach over pure run and gun. I almost never used anything but my high impact scout and my smoke bomb melee to escape if I got too crowded.

I also stopped when they started taking away shit I paid for to be replaced with shoveled shit on a content treadmill. The quality was terrible.
