A player who cannot speak and was therefore rejected by LFG sites has completed his first Nightfall Strike in Destiny 2. The community in Destiny 2 is showing its best side.
Destiny without a mic – a lonely affair
A story that gives food for thought comes from reddit. A player shares there that he has always struggled to find a group or friends in Destiny. The player is mute and logically does not have a mic either.
However, anyone who does not have a microphone or headset connected will be left behind on LFG sites – no one wants to play with that person. Guardians think: Without a mic, coordinated teamwork is not possible, and they avoid players without a headset.
The mute player felt excluded. He could never do the “hard stuff,” has never seen a Nightfall Strike or a raid. The Trials of Osiris were also closed to him without a voice. He found it extremely difficult to connect in Destiny.
Hundreds of Guardians offered help
In the reddit forum, he described his problems and hundreds of Guardians offered him their help. Just one day later, the visibly moved mute Guardian wrote how great the community welcomed him and responded to his post, which he had to muster the courage to submit.
Many had offered to go with him to the Nightfall Strike, play Crucible, patrol, or just hang out and shoot some aliens.
One player even invited him to his clan. He then ran through the Nightfall with him and his group. The mute player and his new crew completed it the first time.
He says: This experience felt … “normalizing.” He thinks the community of Destiny 2 is wonderful and thanks everyone who helped him.
It was probably difficult at first to coordinate with the team, but with the help of the Xbox app, it became possible to communicate effectively. It helped him that the team members did not start to pick on him just because he fell once.
Mein MMO says: It’s a small story, but given all the cynicism that circulates, it should definitely be told.
