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

This was always my main issue back when I played Destiny 1. Pub groups take a lot of the fun out strikes and nightfalls. I'd imagine most people you're queueing with are just farming things from stuff they've already run a bunch of times which is why they're rushing through.

I never ended up finding a casuals clan that I meshed well with, but like other folks have said I think your best bet is going to be finding a good clan rather than any one single person. Your mileage will probably vary for this though, especially since it sounds like you're looking for a 3rd who's also new to the game. Including your general ages, time zone, and which platform you play on will also help you get better results.

I swore off Bungie games in general after they started the trend of sunsetting already paid DLC content in the first game, but I hope you find someone and have fun! Good luck!

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.
