I've never been able to raid very well because I'm incredibly sensitive to all the chatter in the voice chats. I don't know why it's just how I am.
I have an anxiety attack when everyone's talking at once and I can't follow along. I hyperventilate sometimes. The only thing I was ever good at was the Gauntlet in Leviathan.
Typically I avoid most raids because I don't want to ruin the experience for everyone else.
But I was finally able to complete Dual Destiny. I was so scared that I wasn't capable of doing it. What if my anxiety got in the way. But I did it with a friend I've known for a long time. I just didn't think I could do the call outs correctly. I nearly cried when I completed it.
Thank you for making Dual Destiny.

I can sympathize with you when it comes to raiding. I stopped raiding after players that actually knew less about the raid than I did would rage on me and cause stress in a game that I was trying to have fun playing. It's sad that Bungie has focused the game for a completionist mentality instead of enjoying the journey and experience. They could drop raid weapons in a raid for spending extra time teaching mechanics so that players dont get so frustrated the first time something goes wrong, but they don't. There is also no incentive for veterans to sherpa new or inexperienced players through raids. Congrats on dual destiny. Btw, to make it easier we would stream in discord so that we could see the symbols our teammate were looking at. Makes the run stress free. We need to grow the community through positive experiences; glad you had one.

Nice one! I know how you feel, suffering from anxiety myself. I used to play a lot with my son but he no longer plays so have to do most things solo now. Unfortunately those who don't suffer from it don't understand how it feels.

As someone who has pushed through anxiety for years, I give you a big hearty well done. If it makes you feel any better, I am well known I'm my group for getting left and right mixed up! As for ruining a raid experience - it's a game bro.. don't sweat the small stuff. This game is best when playing with other people. Next - into the dungeons you go 😉

Grats for overcoming your anxiety and proving to yourself that you can accomplish the mission. Hope you give raids a try with your friends and know that if you can do dual destiny you can do a raid or dungeon. Eyes up guardian 🍻🫡

Good work guardian 👍 hopefully you venture into dungeons and raids in my opinion it’s the best content in the game and pretty much the only reason I still play after 10 years I’m also super happy for you that you had a positive experience getting out of your comfort zone Cheers and eyes up 🍻🍻
