In Destiny 2, a player reports about a toxic Guardian who disrupts the gaming experience for newcomers. Nearly 10,000 users agree that this behavior is despicable.
Overview: The absolute top topic on Reddit about Destiny 2 is a post by a user complaining about another Guardian. Although currently
have been revealed, this post has around 10,000 upvotes, about three times more than the second strongest thread. This is because it addresses a topic that proud Guardians find rightly infuriating.
Deadly Sin: Sabotaging a Heroic Event
What the user reports: The user claims to have encountered a level 50 Guardian who collected the Arc Orbs during a Fallen Walker event and threw them off the map while a level 3 Guardian attempted to trigger the event heroic.
He has a message for this Guardian: “please fucking never come back” – which politely translates to him being advised not to show up in Destiny 2 anymore.
Why is this behavior so annoying? In the public event “Fallen Walker”, you have to deactivate three energy domes by carrying Arc Orbs to them. The Walker drops the orbs when you destroy its legs. Once the power fields are gone, the heroic event starts.
If a Guardian does not carry the orbs to the domes but rather messes around, the heroic attempt fails.
Guardians share similar experiences
The Reddit Guardian also writes: “Who the hell does something like this?” It’s not even funny, it’s just toxic and horrid. People like him are the outliers, causing other users to hate communities that are actually made up of good and fun people.
10,000 other users have already agreed with this opinion by upvoting, some of them sharing similar experiences in the comments.
Other Guardians report:
- One Guardian experienced the same with Cryo Orbs in the Corridors at a Cryo Capsule Event . The toxic player kept throwing them aside instead of throwing them at the enemy.
- Another player tells of a particularly annoying Guardian. He needed heroic events on Titan for a bounty, but another Guardian, who initially just watched, killed the Walker within seconds, making heroic impossible. He switched instances, but the other Guardian came into the same instance and did it again. He says he has never been trolled like this in PvE.
- Not only in heroic events, there are also toxic Guardians in the Menagerie. One even refused to dunk the last orb for 5 minutes and was annoying in encounters afterwards.
But it can also be different:
- A user reports that he hardly plays heroic events anymore. But if he sees a low-level Guardian attempting a heroic event, he helps him to trigger it heroically. Because he remembers well that he was once a newcomer himself.
What makes the whole fuss even bigger: For years, social media has regularly called for all Guardians to learn how to activate the heroic events. If an experienced Guardian intentionally sabotages the heroic event, many players’ blood pressure rises.
Moreover, heroic events are needed for quests and bounties, so it is not only annoying but also extremely disruptive when others intentionally pull such nonsense.
So: If you are experienced Guardians, support newcomers and show them how heroic events work. After all, you are honorable Guardians. And 10,000 players prove that no one wants toxic players in Destiny 2.
