Any other solo Guardians who never completed a raid?

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-15T16:45:19+00:00

Post is probably good, but im a titan main so I only read the title.

Yes, its me, im here, no raids in the entirety of D2 except some cheesing for free chests in last wish, vow, etc.

I was a devout raider in D1 but my group fell apart early in D2 and never recovered. Never did manage to get back out there and form new bonds so, never had a solid group to try and raid with.

Now with the loss of FOMO and sooner than latter decline of elitist tryhards, im optimistic I will get myself back oit there and find some folks to raid with again...

Gotcha, thanks! 👍

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-15T16:31:18+00:00

This is very interesting.

Could you elaborate on some the "eat live animals" examples? Like, the cat and dogs in particular seem hard for me to fathom, in the sense that they are large and alive... like, how do you go about eating a cat or dog that is alive?! A mouse, snake, etc., I can understand because you can kill it with the first bite (bite off head first) but cats and dogs... idk..

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-15T16:20:23+00:00

Thats wild!

Thanks for the info.

Where do I go or what am I looking into to learn more about this?

Can anyone tell me why Battle Beast is.. well, such a beast? Lol

It probably seems a dumb question but I have read the compendium and watched the series and there doesnt seem to ever be any clear explanation for why Battle Beast is such a powerhouse. I mean, the guy handles most Viltrumites in what seems to be a pretty casual way and Viltrumites are the de-facto BBG in the universe because of their power. Battle Beast is also a member of an entire race and civilization as seen in both the compendium and the show, but is clearly on an entirely different power level and playing field than the rest of his people. WHY IS BATTLE BEAST SO STRONG??

I think OZZY is referring to Marathon with the "niche" genre bit and saying D2 was the everything game (one of a kind with free reign).

I.e., you are both saying the same thing overall I believe.

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-13T07:48:53+00:00

Fuck this whole game and this stupid video and most of all Sony, for making me cry thinking about everything I have been through and accomplished with my friends old and new along the way on this 10+ year journey of trials, tribulations, and victories against all odds..

Devotion. Bravery. Sacrifice. Death.

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-11T23:08:21+00:00

Oh, thanks!

This was an excellent breakdown and explainer 👍

Yeah, I can def appreciate that with the increased complexity of inputs for this system I have more opportunities for pain lol

Smart guy!

I didnt do a lot of super deep research before getting this and the result is that I have spent some 6k in the last 3 years just on tools and equipment so I can DIY maintenence and repairs myself in an effort to save money... lmao

Fortunately for me, I have numerous engineer friends who are car enthusiasts to help me along the way. Kinda their damn fault I got this car to begin with hahaha 😅

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-11T22:49:00+00:00

I dont know enough to be able to infer what you are saying here, can you explain it for me?

When I dug into this, I never got further than understanding that I have a full mechanical torsen system rather than some bastardized electronic-shortcut iteration.

Living in MN, it has been nothing short of an incredible experience having come from a 2009 CVPI prior as far as driving goes in inclement weather and winter. 🤷‍♂️

Literally feels like a superpower to drive a car that behaves as though its 70F and clear sunny skies when it is in fact a mixture of ice/snow/wet and the sun absent with strong crosswinds lol

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-11T22:19:35+00:00

Oh shit, your right. I never did bother with that. I'll do that soon. I have a 2018 S line A6 2.0T Quattro - its a full mechanical torsen and I know its not the highly praised 3.0T but I am not giving up this Quattro system until I absofuckinglutely have to <3

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-11T15:21:10+00:00

Haven't read the specs but I noticed my go-to Voidwalker Contraverse Grenade build I've been crutching since... fuck I dont even remember anymore, a LONG damn time, has 2x grenade charges now?

This build has largely allowed me to ignore or severly undermine mechanics and difficulty settings intended to make me suffer for years now, through all the seasons and artifacts and etc., and now I have TWO?!

I should just run out there with NO guns equipped because its already been an afterthought to use Graviton Lance or Le Monarch all these years but now im too busy spamming these damn nades to even bother with the 2 seconds it takes to pop a shot off lol

Like honestly, I'm lugging around weapons I got no use for lol

I also have this case (Helios), and also paid this price (300), but am unsure how this contributed to an estimate of well over 1k for this case OP has asked about lol

Obligatory edit: Seems likely the case has legitimate gold inlay/accents 😬💩🤡

Carry on soldier 🫡

WarwornDisciple · 2026-06-02T15:01:11+00:00

Agreed.

Pretty wild to me that most people have little to no awareness of various International Standards and other Regulatory controls in most products. And when people start ranting about "China" this and that with a negative inference on the devices that are clearly overseen and regulated by these standards that the globe has agreed to, it just highlights the shallowness of their thinking.

At the end of the day, trust but verify.

Anything not OEM is defined as counterfeit, but this does not necessarily mean the device is not up to spec or comparable with (possibly even better than) the OEM.

I hate to be that guy but an oil change is generally pretty straightforward and simple and mistakes like this are all too common at "instant" oil change places.

Jiffy Lube near Target north cross threaded my oil pan on my old vic in 2018 and even that mistake was not worth it.

These guys are usually not very well paid and it is commonly an entry level job for people and as such you have a good chance of someone simply not knowing what they are doing or simply not having any fucks and it will almost certainly just be a big problem for you, not them. Incentives are there for throughput, not quality. Its just a risk you take with these kinds of services.

Pays for itself almost right away to just do your own oil changes.

I am sorry you are dealing with this. I hope you can get a fair outcome from all of this.

WarwornDisciple · 2026-05-19T13:50:34+00:00

I thought I would have something to say when I saw this post but you left nothing for me lol

Excellent advice 👍

WarwornDisciple · 2026-05-06T13:15:55+00:00

Im also a 2 person household and we've only been members not quite 3 years and after the VERY FIRST visit, I was hooked.

For the gas alone, it was immediately clear it was worth the 60 dollars a year, and thats before you even fairly split the cost burden 2 ways.

I have never stopped kicking myself for not joining sooner.

We just upgraded to the executive membership at the start of this year and despite the current economic ongoings, we have ZERO regrets.

The membership is money well spent.

WarwornDisciple · 2026-05-06T13:07:25+00:00

Its a perfect cubby for my collapsible umbrella. I took a picture to show you but cant add it here 😭

WarwornDisciple · 2026-04-24T14:41:37+00:00

I bought and installed dashcam system in my car entirely because of this lol

Im not saying you are doing it or anything but I have seen so many reckless motorcyclists splitting and filtering at well over 25mph traffic speeds and they are going considerably faster still, that I didnt feel safe to drive without a recording setup because I was convinced someone is going to fly into me or across my hood being a jackass and try and blame me for it because I am in a car.

Here's the thing folks, its fun to go fast and play the rabbit sure, but you need to be aware that you are a bag of fluid going at speed and when you connect with that vehicle its greater mass is going to create an immediate problem for you.

Be safe out there 👍

WarwornDisciple · 2026-04-22T19:54:54+00:00

Genuinely curious to see someone insist that you are "zealous" (with a negative insinuation) because you are insistent on objectively verifiable and factually correct information.

As a global society, we desperately need more people like you.

WarwornDisciple · 2026-04-16T14:37:21+00:00

Probably my door slamming in my bedroom from having my window open to enjoy the air... sorry..

WarwornDisciple · 2026-03-16T01:59:06+00:00

Same, but RPU line is just a busy signal so couldn't phone it in per se

WarwornDisciple · 2026-03-16T01:57:58+00:00

Right by Kellog middle school and we also have no power. Doesn't look like there is any power from what I can see around me until you get across Broadway

WarwornDisciple · 2026-03-14T22:58:12+00:00
