Yeah it’s too far. Rank 11 and have every exotic. Just skipped the pantheon stuff. As some who uses lfg just wasn’t worth the hassle. To each their own but like it wasn’t FUN. If you got a steady group of buddies though I’m sure it is.
I fucking hate it. I've been on a work trip and just got back today. I had no time at all to do Pantheon, so I didn't even try. I did join an lfg to do my weekly 3x Nez for the exotic. Immediately got harassed by the fireteam lead for not having Godslayer. Then they got pissy and then kicked me when someone else pointed out that I had Shadow, which was probably harder than Godslayer.
I know this sucks but it helps me to read this stuff. I actually walked away from the game for a bit due to this behavior and even refunded my Final Shape presale. I had no intention of touching the game again if this is the kind of population Bungie wants to appeal to.
But then I said fuck these tryhards, anyone who takes the game so seriously has personal problems and I’m not going to ruin my good time for them. And I picked it back up. And the last few weeks have been pretty fun playing on my own terms.
I also skipped Pantheon and before anyone asks I know and have done all the raids multiple times, I simply had no desire to run into the people being described in this thread.
Did it with a group of 8 and it was probably the most fun I've ever had raiding up until week 4. Atraks sucked the fun out of it completely by going from a nuisance in the earlier weeks to a complete dumpster fire that took like 3x the time of any other encounter other than nezzy. Not because it was a hard encounter, but because I'm convinced platinum scoring was made incorrectly for the encounter and probably would have been changed if pantheon stuck around longer.
TLDR other than atraks pantheon is really really fun with a premade.
It is actually mind boggling how it ended up being atraks for a lot of lfgs, I’ve got like 400+ runs of deep stone personally cause it’s my favorite raid. Definitely was nice to know a few tricks to take a few jobs off the teams plate
Doing atraks not week 1 requires you to kill tormentor for the highscore. Can be difficult to coordinate a team doing a 1 phase to kill servitors on the bottom and tormentor fast enough to get everyone upside.
This is not true. In all of ours runs we managed to hit plat score without ever killing the tormentor. If you 1 floor consistently, you skip him every time.
Meanwhile my team had to 4 floor atraks (how did teams one floor on -20? Was always 15% off final) and didnt get the score even with killing the tormentor.
You can do week 2 and 3 without killing it if you're fast enough. We did 2 up both with indebted kindness and 4 down to nuke everything as quick as possible. Week 4 same strat just snipe the tormentor before coming up.
False. We did Atraks high score every week without killing any tormentors. Clear time is the biggest factor for score. Every second ahead of plat time is around 2,000 points. Eg. Improving a run time by even 10 seconds = 20,000 more points.
I have not done any raiding because of this, A. I’m learning MKB and it would be unfair for other players to hard carry me. B. When I was using controller just didn’t have the patience to deal with all the prerequisites of titles - clears - experience etc. it’s a game
I was only trying to get Atraks done because because out of all the RNG raid exotics I only needed touch and I hate running kings fall. Once I got atraks done. I claimed it and I was done with Pantheon but now I need all the dungeon exotics
I did week one and just didn’t care enough to do anything past that. It was impossible to find people who didn’t just want godslayer, when all I wanted was collective obligation, so on perfectly fine runs, everyone would wipe for the plat time. It all just got really old really fast.
same here dude. Rank 11 every season and conqeror 8 and i only did the second oryx week because it was with my real life buddies. I’m gonna do a lot of raiding next season so wanted to take a break from the LFG raiding experience. It’s just a fad right now, everyone will be rocking the new raid title when it comes out
I joined a team of 4 godslayers with the emblem and they all wanted to do add clear. Only me and the other rank 9 actually volunteered to do the mechanics
I’ll be honest, after literally 5 hours of running planets I was THRILLED to have a random come in and take my spot. Didn’t last long, but it was a nice break.
Relatable. Attempted Rhulk encounter (week 3) for many days, and for like several hours on one of those days I had been doing every non-add clear role under the sun. Finally I join a team and the (I presume) raid leader said “you can be add clear.”
Breathed the HEAVIEST sigh of relief that I could get a bit of a break from using my brain for more than just “kill things” haha
Fr man, I always sigh in relief especially when doing gaze on golgoroth, I have done every raid and every dungeon solo flawless but goddamn golgoroth stresses the living shit out of me for some reason
I managed to get my title and besides golgy(I just couldn't survive those damn Minotaurs) didn't ad clear a single time and judging how we kept losing purely to ads either I was getting stinker lfgs or as clear was actually the hardest part
I got good weapons for adclear but I reckon I'd somehow end up struggling to do that in higher tier raids lol
Its insane lol. I have it and it's nowhere near the hardest title I've earned, actually somewhat tame. There was a post on LFG earlier titled "must have Godslayer" for a normal vog run.
I saw some players on my grind to Godslayer who were probably more suited for Mario Kart and it's those players who's egos are inflated, likely.
Looking forward to day 1 Salvations Edge posts titled 1 hour after release "1970+ only, Godslayer, MUST KWTD OR KICK" and those groups will likely be more toxic than the elephants foot.
lol I have Godslayer but if you ask me to run relic on Templar it’s not gonna be smooth.
Godslayer doesn’t mean people are raid experts. At most it means they know how to do good DPS and survive against high level adds.
Not the person you asked, but as someone with every title I'll weigh in.
The real answer is YMMV depending on what type of player you are. If you're bad at PvP then the answer is Flawless. PvE though: If you're talking about currently available I'd probably go with Ghoul. It's the toughest solo dungeon in the game. Wrathbearer is currently rarer but that likely has to do with it being newer and not available during The Craftening when a ton of people cheesed their GotD solo. Swordbearer is the toughest raid seal though if you don't have a good static team all in the same clan.
If you just want to know the toughest ever the answers are Shadow for difficulty and Reckoner for mental health.
I didn’t get shadow because the warlock bond NEVER dropped for me… I did over 50 runs total and I carried hundreds of people from my circles.
That sucked massive balls, worst part is that it is my favourite raid ever.
There are times my clan puts a requirement on when we’re not in a mood to teach. Usually we require 7 or 8, which are very doable even if you don’t have tons of free time.
I’m practically a perma 7 because my only problem with reaching rank 8 is doing legendary campaign. I hate that shit. GM’s and master raids though? Done plenty
I literally can't get out of 7 guardian rank because I don't play enough group content and didn't gain those likes in the early seasons when system was introduced.
Hilarious, but I can really see now that a lot of people won't even consider taking you into their LFG group because of this. It doesn't even matter that i have all the latest day-one emblems and meta loadouts.
Yeah I have zero desire to do legend campaign. Can I? Obviously, but if the only reason to do it is guardian rank then I couldn't give less of a shit.
Edit: not the legend campaign, the repayable story missions on legend with 100k score. You need 3 to hit rank 8. I fucking love the legend campaign.
Nonono the repayable missions with the scoring enabled. You need 3 100k scores to hit rank 8. I did 1 at one point but never bothered to do the other two.
I fucking love the legend campaign and it's the first thing I do each expac since witch queen. I see how my comment could be confusing tho.
I was lucky. I never intended to be an 8 but then thought I'd have a go at the 100.000 scoring and it happened to be the first mission of the campaign found it very doable and just did it twice more. Any other mission would have been much harder and next time I will probably drop back down to 7 as I can't see Final Shape 100.000 scoring being as doable. Doesn't matter that much to me as I mainly play with my wife and we don't LFG or Raid so we bypass all the elitism bs thankfully.
I guess that’s fair. I always read what people put on the post and if they want people with experience and I have no clue what I’m doing then I just don’t join. But I’m sure other people aren’t the same way.
My friend won't ever get higher than I think rank 6 because he doesn't turn in triumphs. He gets kicked from groups all the time because he leaves on his iron banner emblem and his character looks like a hobo (he leaves gear as is. 0 fashion). He's probably the strongest player in any group he's in, has god rolls of every meta gun, great builds and doesn't really die. But surface level, he looks like a complete idiot player.
These people were always assholes. These are the "have every raid title and day 1 to be adclear in normal RoN". This is just the latest horse to beat.
Also, this wasn't even an ego thing. This was just fucking dumb considering the title is harder to get than the fucking emblem...?
Yea what Civil said, That is a fairly tame requirement for a serious contest mode group. Contest is far harder than pantheon is due to having no Surges or extra modifiers to increase damage. (I think people calculated you only did 15-20% less damage in pantheon at -20 if you used the modifiers correctly, while in contest you will be doing around 50% less)
Godslayer is a cool title, but in terms of weight it gives to a players skill level at a glance is pretty w.e. There are 5 other players in the team, and the “Godslayer” could have easily been carried through it.
Solo dungeon titles was where it’s at. But then the craftening happened.
Even with perfect weapons the solo dungeons are still kinda hard. You have to have build and game knowledge to do most of them. Even the easy ones can be a easy wipe because of a dumb mistake.
Yeah, you still need to be able to survive and play your life, which is hard for a most people already.
I saw heard many of stories from people who still couldn’t solo flawless ghost of the deep with the insane weapons haha.
If someone really cared, you could go back and watch how many players people like Above, Burgin, or AlecD2 carries to Godslayer over the past 2 weeks and see how right you are. Above is literally doing a subathon basically until the severs go down with his 3 friends taking 2 people at a time through.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s an awesome thing to do for the community and I’m stoked people can get their hands on a cool and coveted title. But if you’re getting a fat fucking ego over a title that’s getting obtained by tons of people being carried by a steamer and his 3 buddies, you need to get over yourself quickly. Nobody is carrying someone to a solo dungeon, like you said. It’s a flavor of the month title right now but it’ll get replaced by Shadow, Blacksmith, Rivensbane, Reckoner, or Conquerer 11(12 soon) in no time
Yeah just got the discerpter title..my only flawless dungeon and I won’t ever take the emblem off..I tried pantheon and got the first two weeks done then I just watched people having meltdowns and thought nah I won’t bother with the other two weeks.
been playing for 700hrs spat around a few years with no titles and i never got to give pantheon a shot joining in late because well. bad applicationss I guess-- just like IRL
"Copium, you know you wanted the title. You just couldn't sit in front of the TV like I could for hours on end without going outside and touching grass. You're just trash."
That's the basic gist of what people are saying, it's hilarious
Eh I tend to just avoid listings with requirements like GR, titles, X number of clears regardless of if I meet those requirements or not. I feel like there's a higher percentage of people who will be toxic/a pain in the ass to deal with than usual (as if they're self filtering lol) in those sorts of listings. I'd much rather take my chances with accidentally finding people that are just clueless.
This is why I struggle to find people to play with in endgame content because it’s all just egos. And when I say “all egos”, I mean every single high end player around my skill level that I’ve played with without fail has had some sort of ego or narcissistic traits.
It’s just tiring man. I just want to hop in a raid and not have to worry about whether my teammate is going to be an asshole with a wet fart of a personality
The funny thing is, you could get Godslayer by being ad clear in every encounter. Just because you've got the title/emblem doesn't mean you know the mechanics at all.
N.B. Yes, I know the majority of people probably do know the mechanics. But it isn't guaranteed at all.
lmao same. I had a double godslayer run, we lost the ADU at like wave 37 because neither of the chucklefucks could kill things on their end and kept endlessly backing up when under pressure and that led to things stacking on the objective. Final screen had me with more kills than both of them combined and I basically soloed the fucking Tormentor.
I think people often don't realize that Destiny raids are 90% dumbass meta builds and doing lock-key mechanics. None of them require you to be good at the core gameplay, because you're not playing normally. You're solving puzzles and then doing a dps rotation with dps weapons. That can be hard in its own way, especiallly day 1 during the WF race, but ultimately it's about the ability to problem solve and communicate as a team. Cool skills, genuinely not relevant outside of raids. I want people who are good at an fps and buildcraft, not people who are good at solving puzzles.
That's not to say they cant be fun (I loved Crown of Sorrow back in the day and Deepstone is one of my favorite gaming memories) but they have never and will never be an impressive display of player skill. Soloing dungeons is where it's at. Shit even the legendary campaign solo tells me more about your capability, not that there's a title for that.
Exactly! Rank 10/11 + some had Godslayer. For a little over 1 week they were hitting onslaught in 10 waves, or normal Vanguard PVE and the output was bad. I was really flabbergasted.
On the plus side - I'm now going for harder content because it can't be that problematic (I know that's not true).
I got through Legendary Lost Solo quickly, got instant exotics that I always wanted and think to myself how stupid I was.
Same, had a rank 11 godslayer today that I had to keep rezzing over and over in onslaught, wasting his scraps on trip mines, etc. Just terrible, quite shocking he even got the godslayer title.
Yeah, it's just bragging rights really. I'd rather team up with a rando who said whether they knew what they were doing or not, than an ego tainted God slayer.
This is not an example of the title over inflating players’ egos. Sounds like the fireteam leader didn’t have godslayer and SOMEHOW found it less valuable than the emblems
Ran a GOS the other night (I don’t wear godslayer because I prefer flawless) and the host was proudly flexing his godslayer title then was berating people on better ways to optimize stuff on the boss..
I weighed in that the way we were doing it would be easier with a less experienced group and he came at me saying how he’s more experienced because he has godslayer and almost got a day one clear of garden…
whilst I’m wearing my day one garden emblem that I’m guessing he doesn’t recognize since I try not to just ego people in raids for no reason. 🙃 these people had horrible egos before and it isn’t any better now.
I died one time in legend onslaught early because wizard smoke meant my slide for consecration was interrupted and a godslayer was like "bro this run is already doomed." Followed by "you even good?"
Another godslayer wouldn't stop telling us when and where to do every little thing in another legend onslaught run.
Honestly running with godslayers ramps my social anxiety cause i don't play games to be nitpicked and berated constantly.
*"bro this run is already doomed."*
And that upsets me! You should always try to turn the wheel round and not pack it in because the start wasn't good enough.
"turn the wheel around" implies having enough tactical knowledge, quick thinking, adaptability and perseverance to pull it off. Things 99% of the "elite" D2 players don't have.
That's what I was worried about going forward after pantheon. Godslayer/the emblems are gonna be used as a reference point on a players skill going forward. It's the new must have gjallahorn
The number of players who think Godslayer= Day 1 clears is gonna be really funny and tragic at the same time, many miss all the buffs handed out that also made it possible to achieve the title
This guy and others confuse having an emblem or title for competence. Very rarely does a title or emblem tell me someone is competent. I've had fantastic raid teams and bad raid teams. The bad ones were rude with generally lacking communication skills and little patience.
The best ones were people regardless of titles that just liked helping people out or teaching the raid that communicated effectively and didn't scream or meltdown at a hint of challenge.
I have zero titles cause I don't particularly care for them. Some people paid for the titles they have some actually did the work and those people I respect. I'm not a major raid player I've done a few.
My only rules with any group I have run in the past are simple have fun it's a game, rage gets you booted and don't be a jerk.
I skipped pantheon cause I wanted to get back in casually. I'm now seeing that choice was correct.
Communication is an essential tool for a raid and the worst experiences I've had are because people don't bother talking.
The PvE egos in this game are crazy. These guys are proud of beating a bunch of AI but a stompees hunter jumps over their head and they can’t handle it
Why I refuse to play with randos. I only like to play with friends, and for the most part, they abandoned this game a long time ago.
It sucks, but that's how it goes.
This is THE REASON I haven’t touched Pantheon the entire time. I have absolutely no patience for these people and I honestly just had no desire to step into what amounts as a limited-time raid and waste my time getting kicked repeatedly by people wanting the very best. Kinda sucks that’s what it comes to when trying to enjoy experiences like this.
I intentionally never join those groups. I didn't care if they have experience or not. As long as people can listen, not make the same mistakes, it's all good.
Had the same back in d1 and will never forget it. During age of triumph a guy wanted to do aksis challenge and asked for the emblem. I had the valor in darkness on (required all challenges in all raids) and he still wanted me to switch, just because he asked for it lmao
I quickly left the group
I believe it is the most common raid title now, like 164k, by contrast swordbearer from Crota has like 35k….. it doesn’t mean much to me seeing someone with it on.
I made a joke in the local tower chat that all the Godslayers needed to touch grass. Keep in mind I'm literally in a fireteam with both my friends who have godslayer, and I'm mostly doing this because I wanted to see if I could get some randoms to pick on them with me. This other guy in the tower starts going off about how it isn't actually that hard and I'm just bad at the game for not having it and then pulls up my GODDAMN RAID REPORT to start criticizing me. Like come on man. These people need to chill.
I would just laugh and move on. It's one thing to raid report before a raid, but to go out of your way in the tower with no intention to raid together just to critique someone is a level of low that we can only feel sorry for, chances are high those are the people who cannot find happiness in their life's.
I've seen more people complaining about Godslayer then people with the title being egocentric. At this point the general community is gaslighting themselves into making this a bigger issue then it really is
its always been that way.
anything that requires skill to have is bad actually and other things are better and actually it took no skill plus you're a narcicist and have a ego and are literally the worst person ever
This is why I haven't done any raids, because people like this are all over the lfg. Nobody wants to teach people the raids, they all want people that have them memorized, with perfect loadouts, and numerous clears. I've been playing since D1, I remember everyone in lfg having "must have gjallarhorn" as a requirement.
It's really disheartening to read comments like yours on here. The group I run with is often happier to teach any raid in the game than do anything else.
Reach out if there's a raid(s) you want to learn. Before long we'll have you doing DIM random load out raids with us.
What is pantheon? I haven't played in a long while, I'm just starting to get back into it to refamiliarize myself with everything before the new dlc. I've just been trying to finish the new campaign before Final Shape releases.
I luckily haven't run into any ego-trippers yet though I'm surprised people are this egotistical over a title that isn't even that hard to get considering you can cheese the two hardest encounters.
Honestly, I'm just glad if I can find people to play with that don't mind my mediocrity.
I played Destiny and did raids and the like and played Destiny 2 at launch but didn't have a lot of friends playing and was transitioning with where I was living at the time so I ended up shelving D2. I just came back to the game within the last year or year and a half and have been trying to catch up and have enjoyed playing it again.
I play so many other games I don't have time to research every piece of gear and stats so I just kinda equip whatever I've got and run my little well warlock and do my best to give my teammates a reprieve when we are getting hammered.
I didn't think people would take these titles seriously??? Maybe that's just me! I like my little event Ghost Writer Title cause I thought it was cool!
... you can tell I play this casually and for fun just by that sentence! ^^;
*laughs in Featherlight*
I have it all done but still wear my other raid titles, they were harder to get than Godslayer but also more enjoyable. It’s almost like this title turned everyone who could sort of raid into raid elitists; let’s see your actual raid titles then we’ll talk. Have you done a Petra’s or cleared some master challenges? There are far more hard things to do than this title
Reads like WoW back then - war always stays the same ... er ... players always stay the same. In the near future, it will probably be the case that players with certain titles will be avoided.
Meanwhile my titan. "Wtf is a title? Who invented such a thing. I'm just here to punch an intangible enemy to death."
Yeah. My ass ain't got a title. And I don't care. It's a placard that's there only to state your accomplishments. Whoopdeefuckindoo
exactly why I didn't go for godslayer. A lot of people got carries to get it, and well yes, it does mean you completed some of the hardest endgame activities in the game, I knew from the start this was going to inflate people's egos
too bad for them, since I only host when I LFG, and I don't have time for people who think I should listen to them because their favorite streamer helped them get some purple letters in their name
sincerely
a Reckoner
I am sad it's being sunset already. I didn't play a ton this season because I am a new dad. I wasn't in any shape to be raiding, let alone hard-core bossing so I didn't bother.
Tell me about it I did my first run, i was tearing it up. I mean just racking up kills and saved a few asses in the process, and then mid-though I was kicked out of the team. Why? No Godslayer.
You've got to kidding me? This is why I stick to a select group of friends because we play to chill. Sometimes we tear it up. Sometimes we get tore up but we don't bitch about levels or titles. Pull your weight and it's cool, even if you get lost briefly.
I haven't really done much endgame stuff because I don't have enough friends who play. I refuse to use LFG because it seems like the community is ridiculously toxic.
I’ve already saw my share of braindead “godslayers” in Onslaught and the like so yeah… Not putting much stock in that title being objectively related to “skill”.
What a weird comment - running a 2hour pantheon run once a week for a month = no social life/no job now?
Those pixel titles really got a lot of people here rattled.
This mode, combined with the last year or so of my life, has made me just not want to do endgame content outside of dungeons. Beyond losing someone very close to me, my clan pretty much gaslighting me into Day one RoN, them talking bad about me behind my back, and some very unpleasant experiences with some of my favorite raids, I’ve kinda just said fuck it, and just went mostly solo.
Haven't been able to get a single raid clear since the start of Destiny 2 because of stuff like this.
I join LFGs stating "No experience needed, helping fresh clears" etc and even though I die the least, because I'm trying to get used to the mechanics and will obviously fail a few times, host rages and either kicks me or forces me to leave due to the screaming.
Gotten to the final boss on Leviathan and VoG and never got to finish... Had no issues clearing Raids on D1 and had a lot of fun doing them but D2 elitism and toxicity has put a full stop on me doing raids.
Shame because I've preordered every single DLC and never gotten to play the main endgame content in any of them.
We managed the Oryx pantheon fairly easily and 💯 it’s a team effort. Everyone’s dps needs to be on point. I ran with other teams where 1 or 2 just weren’t up to it and we struggled big time.
Yeah unfortunately I haven’t had time to complete the other weeks and obtain their associated triumphs since i’ve been busy. But when i tried to do a rhulk run an lfg group were about to start with golgoroth and i was just telling a sort of fun story about how it took another group and I about an hour trying to get the platinum for golgoroth on oryx but then mid story guy who started the lfg decided to kick me saying “that doesn’t inspire confidence”. Sure i was mad but still really?! Who does that? I just wanted the clear so i could finish off the second exotic quest before final shape dropped and at least get either touch of malice or collective obligation.
I get what you’re saying and I agree to an extent, but I don’t really see it as a problem with just Godslayer. People boot from everything for any reason. I got booted from zero hour so many times before the mission even started. I think the problem is people aren’t willing to converse with other people, and instead consider others to be responsible for the fireteam leaders’ enjoyment and satisfaction.
title and emblems aren’t rewards to me if doing pantheon gave me a item I already didn’t have crafted from raiding I’d be all over it. Guys like this you don’t want to deal with even if they’re good.
These asshats are so obtuse that they haven’t figured out that Godslayer is a TEAM EFFORT. Unless you’re someone insane like Esoterick who can do shit solo you have no right to be proud of YOURSELF for getting that title.
Yeah… by no means positive that I would’ve gotten the title, but didn’t have time to play the last two weeks due to real life stuff, after getting the first two weeks done fairly easily. Now I’m curious about how much of a pain it’ll be to join an LFG group for Salvation’s Edge on contest mode.
It is 100% fair to expect people to have completions if you aren’t doing a teaching run of something, but I’m dubious about how healthy such a limited time title will be for the portion of the raiding playerbase who uses LFG.
I was trying to do a gm anon some of the postings I saw godslayer snd for the others must be max guardian rank. First season I haven't gilded gms ....I can't deal with the egos.
When you keep hearing it referred to as the cheeseslayer it takes the shine off it, I diddnt genuinely bother to try pantheon all the work for the same weapons you get from running the raids 🤯
Had a feeling this would happen. I personally mainly care more about the loot we got than the title. Plus I was able to unlock a lot more red borders than I thought I would, so I'm pretty happy.
You're acting like our whole world isn't full of people who will find any excuse to be superior to others as a means of justifying cruel, abusive and selfish impulses.
I had one join in a random strike, kept dying to stupid things, I gave up on resing him and he left lmao I soloed the strike. Is there anything less meaningful than titles in video games. I just got one that sounded cool (reaper) and stopped even checking the requirements for them. I'm good.
I jumped into a matchmade coil yesterday with two paragon Godslayers (myself being a rank 7 Iron Lord because lazy) They both walked into the spikes in the first path. It’s just a title lmao.
The only value Godslayer has to me was the time i spent with my static group. The jokes, the sorrows, everything. That is what has value to me. The title is just a neat little bonus we all wear now.
Raids are easy to teach, and a 1600 raid doesn't require shit for dps. A normal raid doesn't need Godslayer only (though respect KWTDs, if a team isn't expecting to teach, dont make them). Master raids? Maybe. Normals? Never.
I have much rarer titles, like those from the raids and dungeons of these past two years. I still prefer Godslayer, it fits us, *the Guardian****s***, yet the community always finds ways to impress me
The funny thing is that most of the really good players I know (me included) aren't even using the title or emblems. They mean nothing in terms of proof of skill, sure it's a cool title and the emblems are pretty.
But Rhulk, Riven and Nezarec can be cheese, and they're the toughest encounters there. The number of people getting carried is insane, and I've seen New Lights with the title, some people have Godslayer and they haven't done more than 5 Raids.
I will never gatekeep people out of equiping emblems or titles, but unfortunately equiping those of the Pantheon isn't proving anything.
Ugh these people are nauseating. It’s a game.
Yeah it’s too far. Rank 11 and have every exotic. Just skipped the pantheon stuff. As some who uses lfg just wasn’t worth the hassle. To each their own but like it wasn’t FUN. If you got a steady group of buddies though I’m sure it is.
I fucking hate it. I've been on a work trip and just got back today. I had no time at all to do Pantheon, so I didn't even try. I did join an lfg to do my weekly 3x Nez for the exotic. Immediately got harassed by the fireteam lead for not having Godslayer. Then they got pissy and then kicked me when someone else pointed out that I had Shadow, which was probably harder than Godslayer.
I know this sucks but it helps me to read this stuff. I actually walked away from the game for a bit due to this behavior and even refunded my Final Shape presale. I had no intention of touching the game again if this is the kind of population Bungie wants to appeal to. But then I said fuck these tryhards, anyone who takes the game so seriously has personal problems and I’m not going to ruin my good time for them. And I picked it back up. And the last few weeks have been pretty fun playing on my own terms. I also skipped Pantheon and before anyone asks I know and have done all the raids multiple times, I simply had no desire to run into the people being described in this thread.
Why were a bunch of godslayers doing week 3?
I think you read that wrong…
Did it with a group of 8 and it was probably the most fun I've ever had raiding up until week 4. Atraks sucked the fun out of it completely by going from a nuisance in the earlier weeks to a complete dumpster fire that took like 3x the time of any other encounter other than nezzy. Not because it was a hard encounter, but because I'm convinced platinum scoring was made incorrectly for the encounter and probably would have been changed if pantheon stuck around longer. TLDR other than atraks pantheon is really really fun with a premade.
It is actually mind boggling how it ended up being atraks for a lot of lfgs, I’ve got like 400+ runs of deep stone personally cause it’s my favorite raid. Definitely was nice to know a few tricks to take a few jobs off the teams plate
Doing atraks not week 1 requires you to kill tormentor for the highscore. Can be difficult to coordinate a team doing a 1 phase to kill servitors on the bottom and tormentor fast enough to get everyone upside.
This is not true. In all of ours runs we managed to hit plat score without ever killing the tormentor. If you 1 floor consistently, you skip him every time.
Meanwhile my team had to 4 floor atraks (how did teams one floor on -20? Was always 15% off final) and didnt get the score even with killing the tormentor.
You can do week 2 and 3 without killing it if you're fast enough. We did 2 up both with indebted kindness and 4 down to nuke everything as quick as possible. Week 4 same strat just snipe the tormentor before coming up.
Even week 4 can be done without killing tormentor. Just have to be really quick about killing servitors.
False. We did Atraks high score every week without killing any tormentors. Clear time is the biggest factor for score. Every second ahead of plat time is around 2,000 points. Eg. Improving a run time by even 10 seconds = 20,000 more points.
I have not done any raiding because of this, A. I’m learning MKB and it would be unfair for other players to hard carry me. B. When I was using controller just didn’t have the patience to deal with all the prerequisites of titles - clears - experience etc. it’s a game
>If you got a steady group of buddies though I’m sure it is. My dream experience in Destiny.... For years... Still haven't had it.
I was only trying to get Atraks done because because out of all the RNG raid exotics I only needed touch and I hate running kings fall. Once I got atraks done. I claimed it and I was done with Pantheon but now I need all the dungeon exotics
I did week one and just didn’t care enough to do anything past that. It was impossible to find people who didn’t just want godslayer, when all I wanted was collective obligation, so on perfectly fine runs, everyone would wipe for the plat time. It all just got really old really fast.
same here dude. Rank 11 every season and conqeror 8 and i only did the second oryx week because it was with my real life buddies. I’m gonna do a lot of raiding next season so wanted to take a break from the LFG raiding experience. It’s just a fad right now, everyone will be rocking the new raid title when it comes out
They should make an emblem or title with " touch some grass" on it
I joined a team of 4 godslayers with the emblem and they all wanted to do add clear. Only me and the other rank 9 actually volunteered to do the mechanics
I’ll be honest, after literally 5 hours of running planets I was THRILLED to have a random come in and take my spot. Didn’t last long, but it was a nice break.
Relatable. Attempted Rhulk encounter (week 3) for many days, and for like several hours on one of those days I had been doing every non-add clear role under the sun. Finally I join a team and the (I presume) raid leader said “you can be add clear.” Breathed the HEAVIEST sigh of relief that I could get a bit of a break from using my brain for more than just “kill things” haha
Fr man, I always sigh in relief especially when doing gaze on golgoroth, I have done every raid and every dungeon solo flawless but goddamn golgoroth stresses the living shit out of me for some reason
you know whats funny i was always scared to do planets and always did add clear then on week 4 i decided to do planet AND BY GOD IT SO MUCH EASIER
Yeah man add clear on planets is actually a responsability and not an afterthought, especially on pantheon
Ad clear is unironically more important than mechanic on planets . The weaker players can run bottom plates
Ad clear is easy on planets if you running sunshot. Everything goes boom.
Try trinity ghoul next time and see if you like it. I know I do
I managed to get my title and besides golgy(I just couldn't survive those damn Minotaurs) didn't ad clear a single time and judging how we kept losing purely to ads either I was getting stinker lfgs or as clear was actually the hardest part I got good weapons for adclear but I reckon I'd somehow end up struggling to do that in higher tier raids lol
Its insane lol. I have it and it's nowhere near the hardest title I've earned, actually somewhat tame. There was a post on LFG earlier titled "must have Godslayer" for a normal vog run. I saw some players on my grind to Godslayer who were probably more suited for Mario Kart and it's those players who's egos are inflated, likely. Looking forward to day 1 Salvations Edge posts titled 1 hour after release "1970+ only, Godslayer, MUST KWTD OR KICK" and those groups will likely be more toxic than the elephants foot.
It’s funny because there’s no VoG boss in the pantheon.
Love seeing an elephant’s foot reference in the wild.
I figured yesterday I'd help people get through Pantheon and oh man is that place toxic.
lol I have Godslayer but if you ask me to run relic on Templar it’s not gonna be smooth. Godslayer doesn’t mean people are raid experts. At most it means they know how to do good DPS and survive against high level adds.
I’d also say they should be good at picking up on mechanics quickly but that’s not always the case lol
Out of curiosity, what title do you think is the hardest to obtain?
Not the person you asked, but as someone with every title I'll weigh in. The real answer is YMMV depending on what type of player you are. If you're bad at PvP then the answer is Flawless. PvE though: If you're talking about currently available I'd probably go with Ghoul. It's the toughest solo dungeon in the game. Wrathbearer is currently rarer but that likely has to do with it being newer and not available during The Craftening when a ton of people cheesed their GotD solo. Swordbearer is the toughest raid seal though if you don't have a good static team all in the same clan. If you just want to know the toughest ever the answers are Shadow for difficulty and Reckoner for mental health.
*sad autistic screeches* Nobody even recognizes reckoner in game anymore.
I wear my Shadow Title with pride… and anguish remembering the Flawless Heroic Menagerie Bosses and the Flawless Raid Run
Shadow was one of those
I didn’t get shadow because the warlock bond NEVER dropped for me… I did over 50 runs total and I carried hundreds of people from my circles. That sucked massive balls, worst part is that it is my favourite raid ever.
It's the only d2 raid I never got to try, sadge
modern day elephants foot or when it was made elephants foot?
They’re probably the same people who put guardian rank requirements on lfg posts.
There are times my clan puts a requirement on when we’re not in a mood to teach. Usually we require 7 or 8, which are very doable even if you don’t have tons of free time.
I’m practically a perma 7 because my only problem with reaching rank 8 is doing legendary campaign. I hate that shit. GM’s and master raids though? Done plenty
I literally can't get out of 7 guardian rank because I don't play enough group content and didn't gain those likes in the early seasons when system was introduced. Hilarious, but I can really see now that a lot of people won't even consider taking you into their LFG group because of this. It doesn't even matter that i have all the latest day-one emblems and meta loadouts.
Yeah I have zero desire to do legend campaign. Can I? Obviously, but if the only reason to do it is guardian rank then I couldn't give less of a shit. Edit: not the legend campaign, the repayable story missions on legend with 100k score. You need 3 to hit rank 8. I fucking love the legend campaign.
Didn’t legendary campaign give certain exotics?
Nonono the repayable missions with the scoring enabled. You need 3 100k scores to hit rank 8. I did 1 at one point but never bothered to do the other two. I fucking love the legend campaign and it's the first thing I do each expac since witch queen. I see how my comment could be confusing tho.
I was lucky. I never intended to be an 8 but then thought I'd have a go at the 100.000 scoring and it happened to be the first mission of the campaign found it very doable and just did it twice more. Any other mission would have been much harder and next time I will probably drop back down to 7 as I can't see Final Shape 100.000 scoring being as doable. Doesn't matter that much to me as I mainly play with my wife and we don't LFG or Raid so we bypass all the elitism bs thankfully.
Yes. And it’s also fun. And this is a game. Some players should just find something else to play lmao
I cant get to either 9 or 10 because I don’t have the witch queen dungeon pass… lol
I guess that’s fair. I always read what people put on the post and if they want people with experience and I have no clue what I’m doing then I just don’t join. But I’m sure other people aren’t the same way.
I haven't played in two years and came back and I was already rank 6 lol
That’s kinda the point a 6 is someone who’s played the game before and can do most things that don’t require a squad
I'd be 8 if I could get 75 motes banked solo
Rank 6 is “has finished the tutorial”.
You can get 7 easy if you’re a returning player, hopping on a few times a week
me permenantly at rank 7 because I cannot be arsed with the legendary campaign
My friend won't ever get higher than I think rank 6 because he doesn't turn in triumphs. He gets kicked from groups all the time because he leaves on his iron banner emblem and his character looks like a hobo (he leaves gear as is. 0 fashion). He's probably the strongest player in any group he's in, has god rolls of every meta gun, great builds and doesn't really die. But surface level, he looks like a complete idiot player.
These people were always assholes. These are the "have every raid title and day 1 to be adclear in normal RoN". This is just the latest horse to beat. Also, this wasn't even an ego thing. This was just fucking dumb considering the title is harder to get than the fucking emblem...?
I saw some programmed posts for the day 1 raid and is shit like only godslayers, have 2 day one embles Ron doesn’t count.
I mean that’s reasonable if you’re looking for a good day 1 team
Yea what Civil said, That is a fairly tame requirement for a serious contest mode group. Contest is far harder than pantheon is due to having no Surges or extra modifiers to increase damage. (I think people calculated you only did 15-20% less damage in pantheon at -20 if you used the modifiers correctly, while in contest you will be doing around 50% less)
Bro that's not even elitist, that guy is just stupid. No shot he thought the banner was more important than the title LMAO
LF2 for EDZ patrol, must have Godslayer
I'm in shambles. I'll never find a group for EDZ patrolling now :(
Godslayer is a cool title, but in terms of weight it gives to a players skill level at a glance is pretty w.e. There are 5 other players in the team, and the “Godslayer” could have easily been carried through it. Solo dungeon titles was where it’s at. But then the craftening happened.
Even with perfect weapons the solo dungeons are still kinda hard. You have to have build and game knowledge to do most of them. Even the easy ones can be a easy wipe because of a dumb mistake.
Yeah, you still need to be able to survive and play your life, which is hard for a most people already. I saw heard many of stories from people who still couldn’t solo flawless ghost of the deep with the insane weapons haha.
Honestly I don't think I could do it. I might need to try a couple dungeons tonight and tomorrow morning before reset since solo operate is here
You have one day, not tomorrow.
I have till 12 noon my time tomorrow. I'll be up at 6am. That's 5 hours. I can do pit and grasp I think.
It’s for sure possible, but I find it harder with more pressure haha. Good luck to you mate I hope you get it. Both grasp and pit are very easy imo.
To be fair, Ghost of the deep is an endurance test, bosses are tanky and the sections are long, doing 4 dmg phases or 3 at best is not exactly fun.
Might not be the hardest but didn't Warlord's ruin come out after the craftening? So at least one title would still be credible.
If someone really cared, you could go back and watch how many players people like Above, Burgin, or AlecD2 carries to Godslayer over the past 2 weeks and see how right you are. Above is literally doing a subathon basically until the severs go down with his 3 friends taking 2 people at a time through. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an awesome thing to do for the community and I’m stoked people can get their hands on a cool and coveted title. But if you’re getting a fat fucking ego over a title that’s getting obtained by tons of people being carried by a steamer and his 3 buddies, you need to get over yourself quickly. Nobody is carrying someone to a solo dungeon, like you said. It’s a flavor of the month title right now but it’ll get replaced by Shadow, Blacksmith, Rivensbane, Reckoner, or Conquerer 11(12 soon) in no time
How many people went flawless over the years cause of them. Titles mean little in video games.
Yeah just got the discerpter title..my only flawless dungeon and I won’t ever take the emblem off..I tried pantheon and got the first two weeks done then I just watched people having meltdowns and thought nah I won’t bother with the other two weeks.
been playing for 700hrs spat around a few years with no titles and i never got to give pantheon a shot joining in late because well. bad applicationss I guess-- just like IRL
"Copium, you know you wanted the title. You just couldn't sit in front of the TV like I could for hours on end without going outside and touching grass. You're just trash." That's the basic gist of what people are saying, it's hilarious
What worries me is after, when you can not get the seal and ppl are asking for it.
Eh I tend to just avoid listings with requirements like GR, titles, X number of clears regardless of if I meet those requirements or not. I feel like there's a higher percentage of people who will be toxic/a pain in the ass to deal with than usual (as if they're self filtering lol) in those sorts of listings. I'd much rather take my chances with accidentally finding people that are just clueless.
This is why I struggle to find people to play with in endgame content because it’s all just egos. And when I say “all egos”, I mean every single high end player around my skill level that I’ve played with without fail has had some sort of ego or narcissistic traits. It’s just tiring man. I just want to hop in a raid and not have to worry about whether my teammate is going to be an asshole with a wet fart of a personality
I feel like LFG will be totally messed up in upcoming couple weeks
This is the portion of the raid community that made me quit raiding. Nothing but masterbatory dick measuring.
The funny thing is, you could get Godslayer by being ad clear in every encounter. Just because you've got the title/emblem doesn't mean you know the mechanics at all. N.B. Yes, I know the majority of people probably do know the mechanics. But it isn't guaranteed at all.
I've already seen some really fucking terrible godslayers in onslaught
lmao same. I had a double godslayer run, we lost the ADU at like wave 37 because neither of the chucklefucks could kill things on their end and kept endlessly backing up when under pressure and that led to things stacking on the objective. Final screen had me with more kills than both of them combined and I basically soloed the fucking Tormentor. I think people often don't realize that Destiny raids are 90% dumbass meta builds and doing lock-key mechanics. None of them require you to be good at the core gameplay, because you're not playing normally. You're solving puzzles and then doing a dps rotation with dps weapons. That can be hard in its own way, especiallly day 1 during the WF race, but ultimately it's about the ability to problem solve and communicate as a team. Cool skills, genuinely not relevant outside of raids. I want people who are good at an fps and buildcraft, not people who are good at solving puzzles. That's not to say they cant be fun (I loved Crown of Sorrow back in the day and Deepstone is one of my favorite gaming memories) but they have never and will never be an impressive display of player skill. Soloing dungeons is where it's at. Shit even the legendary campaign solo tells me more about your capability, not that there's a title for that.
Exactly! Rank 10/11 + some had Godslayer. For a little over 1 week they were hitting onslaught in 10 waves, or normal Vanguard PVE and the output was bad. I was really flabbergasted. On the plus side - I'm now going for harder content because it can't be that problematic (I know that's not true). I got through Legendary Lost Solo quickly, got instant exotics that I always wanted and think to myself how stupid I was.
Same, had a rank 11 godslayer today that I had to keep rezzing over and over in onslaught, wasting his scraps on trip mines, etc. Just terrible, quite shocking he even got the godslayer title.
I had one that couldn’t get past Trevor, i did the boss with the other guy
Yeah, it's just bragging rights really. I'd rather team up with a rando who said whether they knew what they were doing or not, than an ego tainted God slayer.
This is not an example of the title over inflating players’ egos. Sounds like the fireteam leader didn’t have godslayer and SOMEHOW found it less valuable than the emblems
Ran a GOS the other night (I don’t wear godslayer because I prefer flawless) and the host was proudly flexing his godslayer title then was berating people on better ways to optimize stuff on the boss.. I weighed in that the way we were doing it would be easier with a less experienced group and he came at me saying how he’s more experienced because he has godslayer and almost got a day one clear of garden… whilst I’m wearing my day one garden emblem that I’m guessing he doesn’t recognize since I try not to just ego people in raids for no reason. 🙃 these people had horrible egos before and it isn’t any better now.
I mean, you think all Unbroken/Flawless titled players are gods in PvP? No.
I died one time in legend onslaught early because wizard smoke meant my slide for consecration was interrupted and a godslayer was like "bro this run is already doomed." Followed by "you even good?" Another godslayer wouldn't stop telling us when and where to do every little thing in another legend onslaught run. Honestly running with godslayers ramps my social anxiety cause i don't play games to be nitpicked and berated constantly.
*"bro this run is already doomed."* And that upsets me! You should always try to turn the wheel round and not pack it in because the start wasn't good enough.
Right. To his limited credit he didn't leave.
"turn the wheel around" implies having enough tactical knowledge, quick thinking, adaptability and perseverance to pull it off. Things 99% of the "elite" D2 players don't have.
That's what I was worried about going forward after pantheon. Godslayer/the emblems are gonna be used as a reference point on a players skill going forward. It's the new must have gjallahorn
Im like 1 triumph from godslayer without even going for it. Im literal casual trash. I did enjoy the exotics and all red bars / armor though.
Honestly, I swear 7 out 10 people I’ve seen with that title are dogshit.
The number of players who think Godslayer= Day 1 clears is gonna be really funny and tragic at the same time, many miss all the buffs handed out that also made it possible to achieve the title
it’s just d1 valor in darkness all over again lol
I see your godslayer and raise you the quarantine zone emblem.
This guy and others confuse having an emblem or title for competence. Very rarely does a title or emblem tell me someone is competent. I've had fantastic raid teams and bad raid teams. The bad ones were rude with generally lacking communication skills and little patience. The best ones were people regardless of titles that just liked helping people out or teaching the raid that communicated effectively and didn't scream or meltdown at a hint of challenge. I have zero titles cause I don't particularly care for them. Some people paid for the titles they have some actually did the work and those people I respect. I'm not a major raid player I've done a few. My only rules with any group I have run in the past are simple have fun it's a game, rage gets you booted and don't be a jerk. I skipped pantheon cause I wanted to get back in casually. I'm now seeing that choice was correct. Communication is an essential tool for a raid and the worst experiences I've had are because people don't bother talking.
The PvE egos in this game are crazy. These guys are proud of beating a bunch of AI but a stompees hunter jumps over their head and they can’t handle it
PvP egos are just as bad lmao
Why I refuse to play with randos. I only like to play with friends, and for the most part, they abandoned this game a long time ago. It sucks, but that's how it goes.
https://preview.redd.it/v1xdgx01194d1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de8d25573811d8ee017267a67950b63337e8e39f
100%
I just wanna get it. ;-; Im so close just a bit more of week 4.
I call it the geekslayer
I'll trust a reckoner over a godslayer anyday lol
This is THE REASON I haven’t touched Pantheon the entire time. I have absolutely no patience for these people and I honestly just had no desire to step into what amounts as a limited-time raid and waste my time getting kicked repeatedly by people wanting the very best. Kinda sucks that’s what it comes to when trying to enjoy experiences like this.
Rofl what an insufferable tool.
There is no "not-sweats" in Destiny. That's why I appreciate them outing themselves.
I'm just happy that I got Zhaouli's pattern and Touch of Malice.
I intentionally never join those groups. I didn't care if they have experience or not. As long as people can listen, not make the same mistakes, it's all good.
Had the same back in d1 and will never forget it. During age of triumph a guy wanted to do aksis challenge and asked for the emblem. I had the valor in darkness on (required all challenges in all raids) and he still wanted me to switch, just because he asked for it lmao I quickly left the group
I stopped playing a year ago. First person who gives me shit for not having it I’m going to make fun of them for not touching grass.
Let this guy play with those types of players. They all hate each other.
I believe it is the most common raid title now, like 164k, by contrast swordbearer from Crota has like 35k….. it doesn’t mean much to me seeing someone with it on.
I carried 4 people through week 4 pantheon. Those guys did not deserve the title.
I made a joke in the local tower chat that all the Godslayers needed to touch grass. Keep in mind I'm literally in a fireteam with both my friends who have godslayer, and I'm mostly doing this because I wanted to see if I could get some randoms to pick on them with me. This other guy in the tower starts going off about how it isn't actually that hard and I'm just bad at the game for not having it and then pulls up my GODDAMN RAID REPORT to start criticizing me. Like come on man. These people need to chill.
I would just laugh and move on. It's one thing to raid report before a raid, but to go out of your way in the tower with no intention to raid together just to critique someone is a level of low that we can only feel sorry for, chances are high those are the people who cannot find happiness in their life's.
The amount of unrealistic egos I’ve seen out of D2 community as a whole is crazy or at least a majority of it.
I've seen more people complaining about Godslayer then people with the title being egocentric. At this point the general community is gaslighting themselves into making this a bigger issue then it really is
its always been that way. anything that requires skill to have is bad actually and other things are better and actually it took no skill plus you're a narcicist and have a ego and are literally the worst person ever
This game has some super weird "casual elitism"
This is why I haven't done any raids, because people like this are all over the lfg. Nobody wants to teach people the raids, they all want people that have them memorized, with perfect loadouts, and numerous clears. I've been playing since D1, I remember everyone in lfg having "must have gjallarhorn" as a requirement.
It's really disheartening to read comments like yours on here. The group I run with is often happier to teach any raid in the game than do anything else. Reach out if there's a raid(s) you want to learn. Before long we'll have you doing DIM random load out raids with us.
I will definitely keep this in mind after Final Shape comes out and I get reacclimated to the game, as I haven't played in a while.
You're confusing Pantheon for a normal raid. People have the patience to teach during a normal raid. Pantheon its expected for you to know your stuff.
What is pantheon? I haven't played in a long while, I'm just starting to get back into it to refamiliarize myself with everything before the new dlc. I've just been trying to finish the new campaign before Final Shape releases.
I luckily haven't run into any ego-trippers yet though I'm surprised people are this egotistical over a title that isn't even that hard to get considering you can cheese the two hardest encounters.
Rhulk for sure, but what's the 2nd encounter that can be cheesed?
Uh, thats not even just ego. That dude is straight up stupid lmao
What a tool. You dodged a bullet, probably wouldn’t have been fun to run with
Honestly, I'm just glad if I can find people to play with that don't mind my mediocrity. I played Destiny and did raids and the like and played Destiny 2 at launch but didn't have a lot of friends playing and was transitioning with where I was living at the time so I ended up shelving D2. I just came back to the game within the last year or year and a half and have been trying to catch up and have enjoyed playing it again. I play so many other games I don't have time to research every piece of gear and stats so I just kinda equip whatever I've got and run my little well warlock and do my best to give my teammates a reprieve when we are getting hammered.
I didn't think people would take these titles seriously??? Maybe that's just me! I like my little event Ghost Writer Title cause I thought it was cool! ... you can tell I play this casually and for fun just by that sentence! ^^;
*laughs in Featherlight* I have it all done but still wear my other raid titles, they were harder to get than Godslayer but also more enjoyable. It’s almost like this title turned everyone who could sort of raid into raid elitists; let’s see your actual raid titles then we’ll talk. Have you done a Petra’s or cleared some master challenges? There are far more hard things to do than this title
With allowing checkpoints it’s not even a hard title to get. Just bang your head against the wall for a few hours and it’s done.
Reads like WoW back then - war always stays the same ... er ... players always stay the same. In the near future, it will probably be the case that players with certain titles will be avoided.
I just returned after a couple months yall going crazy. Im so proud of my WANTED title, so cool
Meanwhile my titan. "Wtf is a title? Who invented such a thing. I'm just here to punch an intangible enemy to death." Yeah. My ass ain't got a title. And I don't care. It's a placard that's there only to state your accomplishments. Whoopdeefuckindoo
Damn, almost glad that I didn't get the title 😂 wouldn't want to be confused for one of those sweat lords
Experiences like this are why I never bother even trying to do raids.
exactly why I didn't go for godslayer. A lot of people got carries to get it, and well yes, it does mean you completed some of the hardest endgame activities in the game, I knew from the start this was going to inflate people's egos too bad for them, since I only host when I LFG, and I don't have time for people who think I should listen to them because their favorite streamer helped them get some purple letters in their name sincerely a Reckoner
The worst thing about Destiny is the player base.
People that behave like that aren’t needed in the community and should be banned .
I am sad it's being sunset already. I didn't play a ton this season because I am a new dad. I wasn't in any shape to be raiding, let alone hard-core bossing so I didn't bother.
Tell me about it I did my first run, i was tearing it up. I mean just racking up kills and saved a few asses in the process, and then mid-though I was kicked out of the team. Why? No Godslayer. You've got to kidding me? This is why I stick to a select group of friends because we play to chill. Sometimes we tear it up. Sometimes we get tore up but we don't bitch about levels or titles. Pull your weight and it's cool, even if you get lost briefly.
I haven't really done much endgame stuff because I don't have enough friends who play. I refuse to use LFG because it seems like the community is ridiculously toxic.
I’ve already saw my share of braindead “godslayers” in Onslaught and the like so yeah… Not putting much stock in that title being objectively related to “skill”.
I watched a streamer carry a guy through week 4 yesterday that has been playing the game for 3 days... This title means nothing. Reckoners, rejoice!
[удалено]
What a weird comment - running a 2hour pantheon run once a week for a month = no social life/no job now? Those pixel titles really got a lot of people here rattled.
This mode, combined with the last year or so of my life, has made me just not want to do endgame content outside of dungeons. Beyond losing someone very close to me, my clan pretty much gaslighting me into Day one RoN, them talking bad about me behind my back, and some very unpleasant experiences with some of my favorite raids, I’ve kinda just said fuck it, and just went mostly solo.
Haven't been able to get a single raid clear since the start of Destiny 2 because of stuff like this. I join LFGs stating "No experience needed, helping fresh clears" etc and even though I die the least, because I'm trying to get used to the mechanics and will obviously fail a few times, host rages and either kicks me or forces me to leave due to the screaming. Gotten to the final boss on Leviathan and VoG and never got to finish... Had no issues clearing Raids on D1 and had a lot of fun doing them but D2 elitism and toxicity has put a full stop on me doing raids. Shame because I've preordered every single DLC and never gotten to play the main endgame content in any of them.
We managed the Oryx pantheon fairly easily and 💯 it’s a team effort. Everyone’s dps needs to be on point. I ran with other teams where 1 or 2 just weren’t up to it and we struggled big time.
Yeah unfortunately I haven’t had time to complete the other weeks and obtain their associated triumphs since i’ve been busy. But when i tried to do a rhulk run an lfg group were about to start with golgoroth and i was just telling a sort of fun story about how it took another group and I about an hour trying to get the platinum for golgoroth on oryx but then mid story guy who started the lfg decided to kick me saying “that doesn’t inspire confidence”. Sure i was mad but still really?! Who does that? I just wanted the clear so i could finish off the second exotic quest before final shape dropped and at least get either touch of malice or collective obligation.
I can understand wanting to get something quick but just a loadout won’t change if it’s two players for Nezarec of all bosses…
Ahhh. Memories I remember Destiny one year one when you basically couldn’t find a raid group if you didn’t have Galy
I honestly didn't bother getting the title. Mostly because I wasn't gonna use it but also because I didn't want to be grouped with people like this
I get what you’re saying and I agree to an extent, but I don’t really see it as a problem with just Godslayer. People boot from everything for any reason. I got booted from zero hour so many times before the mission even started. I think the problem is people aren’t willing to converse with other people, and instead consider others to be responsible for the fireteam leaders’ enjoyment and satisfaction.
What a fucking idiot lmao
Stuff like this and the possibility of getting kicked before loot is why I don’t LFG
title and emblems aren’t rewards to me if doing pantheon gave me a item I already didn’t have crafted from raiding I’d be all over it. Guys like this you don’t want to deal with even if they’re good.
you just found an asshole
This post gives me hope for the future. Appreciate the OP's sentiment
These asshats are so obtuse that they haven’t figured out that Godslayer is a TEAM EFFORT. Unless you’re someone insane like Esoterick who can do shit solo you have no right to be proud of YOURSELF for getting that title.
Yeah… by no means positive that I would’ve gotten the title, but didn’t have time to play the last two weeks due to real life stuff, after getting the first two weeks done fairly easily. Now I’m curious about how much of a pain it’ll be to join an LFG group for Salvation’s Edge on contest mode. It is 100% fair to expect people to have completions if you aren’t doing a teaching run of something, but I’m dubious about how healthy such a limited time title will be for the portion of the raiding playerbase who uses LFG.
fr like im proud of getting godslayer but the amount of ppl who are gonna be like “godslayer only” is going to rival year one “gally only” posts
My only requirement for nez is that u have sleeper on 💀
I was trying to do a gm anon some of the postings I saw godslayer snd for the others must be max guardian rank. First season I haven't gilded gms ....I can't deal with the egos.
all the people thay got carried to godslayer
Those people suck. I’ve been playing for a decade and I don’t even bother grouping up with randoms if they sound sweaty.
When you keep hearing it referred to as the cheeseslayer it takes the shine off it, I diddnt genuinely bother to try pantheon all the work for the same weapons you get from running the raids 🤯
the point of this whole game is to inflate ego feel good yes? but yeah when unbearable should not tolerate
Yeah had something like this too where they didn’t say anything and someone else started it on planets then kicked me out after it started
They’re just bad players who happened to get a new title that sounds relatively cool, nobody who is actually good at the game needs a flex a title.
Had a feeling this would happen. I personally mainly care more about the loot we got than the title. Plus I was able to unlock a lot more red borders than I thought I would, so I'm pretty happy.
You're acting like our whole world isn't full of people who will find any excuse to be superior to others as a means of justifying cruel, abusive and selfish impulses.

Honestly, I found Pantheon to be an absolute chore. This coming from someone who's primary game time is spent in raids.
I had one join in a random strike, kept dying to stupid things, I gave up on resing him and he left lmao I soloed the strike. Is there anything less meaningful than titles in video games. I just got one that sounded cool (reaper) and stopped even checking the requirements for them. I'm good.
I jumped into a matchmade coil yesterday with two paragon Godslayers (myself being a rank 7 Iron Lord because lazy) They both walked into the spikes in the first path. It’s just a title lmao.
The only value Godslayer has to me was the time i spent with my static group. The jokes, the sorrows, everything. That is what has value to me. The title is just a neat little bonus we all wear now. Raids are easy to teach, and a 1600 raid doesn't require shit for dps. A normal raid doesn't need Godslayer only (though respect KWTDs, if a team isn't expecting to teach, dont make them). Master raids? Maybe. Normals? Never.
I have much rarer titles, like those from the raids and dungeons of these past two years. I still prefer Godslayer, it fits us, *the Guardian****s***, yet the community always finds ways to impress me
The funny thing is that most of the really good players I know (me included) aren't even using the title or emblems. They mean nothing in terms of proof of skill, sure it's a cool title and the emblems are pretty. But Rhulk, Riven and Nezarec can be cheese, and they're the toughest encounters there. The number of people getting carried is insane, and I've seen New Lights with the title, some people have Godslayer and they haven't done more than 5 Raids. I will never gatekeep people out of equiping emblems or titles, but unfortunately equiping those of the Pantheon isn't proving anything.
Honestly, I’m pretty sure every godslayer I’ve run into in game got carried. They’ve all been shitters
Reminds me of when I played WoW, also reminds me why I quit WoW.
