Im bad at raids because of a crippling social anxiety that only seems to manifest when I need to talk to other nerds playing the same game.

I sometimes am on when goons aren't and I do my best to stick with groups that are a little cohesive. But sometimes I duck out because I feel that calling screeching 10 year olds the most retarded gently caress trophies I've ever heard will get me banned.

Also the new clan system seems to encourage this kind of sherpa-ing behavior so there will be likely good poo poo to come out of it beyond a sense of satisfaction at having helped a fellow goon.

All the raids were pretty fun in their own way. The sisters onwards phase of oryx was a little workman like but I enjoyed the raids.

The adjustment with challenge modes and bringing all the raids up was pretty cool too. Got a few more weeks of fun playing with my bros.

I look forward to doing the harder poo poo again.

they're received by the client as a controller (which seem to have aim assist whereas the kb+m p much don't), so you get the best of a kb+m precision and a controller autoaim

i guess if you have some sort of debilitating neurological condition where you need help to click on dudes using a mouse like a normal person it's a good alternative

That is great to hear. Did you get water inside? Cypress creek was crazy earlier today, looked like the mississippi when I drove over it on 249.

It's pretty rad that they basically have no way to fix this short of disabling auto aim on controllers, which is bungie's entire secret sauce tbqh. PC gaming is hilarious.

Same here bruh. Between having a real life and job I somehow never got into the social aspect of D1 and never used LFG so I missed out on most of the raid stuff. Just wanted to play the drat game. It's a shame though. Looking forward to getting in on D2 at the ground floor this time.

Eventually I got taken through VoG and Crota's End with a group but everyone had already done it countless times by then and rushing through everything just following instructions with a bunch of random power-gamers led to it being a pretty unmemorable experience.

Gonna be a nice meltdown when destiny 2 makes an esport appearance and a bunch of dudes show up with xims.

Or the xim is banned from the outset and some dudes show up and mysteriously play worse than they normally do.

Let's talk about where you're going.
On PS4 I'm more than happy to raid with you if you think you suck or can't hack or whatever. I'm loving terrible and still managed to do them all.

It's amazing how bad I am at this game.

Edit: I'm all for joining a scrub-tier team that raids every so often on Sat or Sun or whatever time you dads put your kids to bed and get a nice cold glass of Boone's Farm.

Not much they can do as xim shows up as an Xbox/PS controller so if they ban the xim's USB id they ban all legit controllers too.

Maybe there's some unique value in the device info that they could key off but that's an arms race they'd lose.

they can just turn off aim assist, which I assume they probably will eventually do.

most PC games don't have aim assist for controllers, or if they do, they're not multiplayer games generally.

I use a playstation move navigation controller with a mouse on PS4. I was hoping to be able to use the same thing natively on the PC version, but it'll only take input from one at a time. I tried a bunch of things but the XIM is the only way I could make it work. So my aiming is still limited by what the controller can do at max sensitivity, but I also get the same aim assist as people using controllers. It makes a hilariously large difference, I even saw some crybaby whining about it on reddit.
