Hi all, id like to ask you a question...

I have been with DOD since launch of the game. It's been great to play with a group of guys that understand that some times things come up and you have to go. Bungie made a game that forced me to make friends and I thinks that is one of the best parts of this game. DoD set up a group of like minded people which makes everything easy. And group that will always help each other out. I have to thank you for creating DOD. It's been a wonderful experience.

Dod to me has been a lifesaver. I gave up on playing with others because of harassment and random people not understanding married life and fatherhood duties. Recently my wife decided she was done with me. I totaled our only car. After getting us both vehicles and her leaving, I was laid off from work and burned my left hand 2nd degree. Now I can't find a new job and unemployment has denied my first two weeks of benefits. Without the support kind words and understanding of my fellow clan members I would have given up long ago...video games are my stress relief the guys from DoD Arc are my family. I would also probably be homeless soon, they decided to start a gofundme account to help me get back on my feet while my hand is healing. A couple members of Arc had run into financial problems, one was going to run out of xbox live gold.....the others internet was going to be shut down........the guys in Arc pulled together and helped these guys keep playing. Exceptional people and I am greatly honored to be counted among them! This brotherhood that started from a forum post is the one of the best things I stumbled across before the beta started. Great people come together to help each other out.

Im going to be honest i have only just discovered this group. But from what i have seen you are an amazing group who all look out for each other in the verse and in real life to. I love the fact that everyone in this group is on the same page as me when it comes to family and gaming. I hope I get to know some of you as time goes on and we play together

This group seems amazing. The fact that no matter the game or difficulty level, life and fantasy have a real shot to coexist. I just joined today. I have been reading through comments and posts to get a feel. The amount of support is shocking. Just feeling like I can relate to the struggle of juggling two lives. Being a father, husband and gamer is difficult. Having to drop the controller anytime, crota or atheon and knowing that the 5 other guys will understand and keep the game alive until or even if you return is cool. I have been turned into a lone wolf gamer simply because of those facts. Learned to solo CE because of the lack of empathy. I am on the edge of my seat for house of wolves, battlefront and the division. Cannot wait to get a piece with all of you. Best group of people I have never met but wish I could!

At first when I got this game I played alone a lot. Knowing how most games are full of pissed off 10 year old children struggling through their ball dropping experience I didn't socialize much. That crap gets tiring too quick for me. I saw this group after the bungie headliner and took a look. Was skeptical at first but after gaming with a couple dads realized this is one of the best gaming groups I have seen. It's been gaming buddies that don't discriminate because I'm a father and still game, no childish bs, and to top it all off we all have kids and don't flip when a quick poosplosion afk happens. I am grateful to have a group where fathers are helping fathers to be better and have fun in the mean time.

When I first started playing destiny I had no idea this group existed and pretty much levelled up on my own knowing very little about the game I still don't know how I discovered this group,think it was through the destiny app I posted in the new player thred and never looked back Did my very first VoG raid with the Euro clan and what a great experience that was I thought I was being a bit childish playing Xbox games until I discovered dads in the same boat as me This group means everything to me All the guys are fantastic and always willing to share the wealth of they're experience

Hi Kp and all, I have been playing Destiny for awhile now, when I have time after work and a few runs through the weekend, usually when most of Family is asleep, except for my Son who is an avid Steam and PS Gamer. Been pretty much a loner, except for Strikes. Been looking to join a group and after reading the DoD posts, thought I would drop in ... DoD sounds like what I have been looking for (sounds like a song ...). Have a good Day and a Week ! DH

I had no idea what I was getting myself into that September afternoon when I picked up Destiny; only one friend played and our times were off. I somehow managed to grind my way to 26 and max out both subclasses on my hunter and found my way to DoD, a group I had already been interested in prior to the games launch. Once here I found a clan and thought I had plugged myself in. Turns out it was the beginning. My first raid team was put together in October, I had answered a thread in our Foxtrot forum as to why I hadn't been in the VoG. We met on a Tuesday exchanged brief greetings and dove into the madness that was the Vault. We died. A lot. We laughed even more. It took us several weeks to get that first clear but we eventually pulled it off and the feeling of elation was real and we were also really hooked. This game had begun it's grip on us and we were merely along for the ride. I remember wanting more of a challenge from the VoG and my group encouraged me to find a HM raid to try it out; I returned here to the main DoD page here at b.net and found someone who has turned into a good friend and a regular raid buddy. Coincidentally our friendship has helped grow our alliance of players on LINE and cultivate more space for DoD. This is a community, a place where I have made real and lasting friendships with men I'm proud to call my friend and raid partner. We share our ups and downs, shoot the breeze, and at the end of the day we try to have fun. My friends have given me the privilege of raiding, nightfalls, weeklies, and pvp events with their kids. I've helped guys through their first raid clears and their first HM clears, all because I enjoy this game and the company I get to share while I'm playing.

KP, its the fact that we all have one OTHER thing in common. Perfect example: my son, potty training during crota. (@ 5:15) https://youtu.be/XGFDRqI288I

There's been some amazing responses in this thread and it really hits home what this group is all about. Thank you for all those that have supplied their thoughts here I have so much respect for all of you. Keep the responses coming guys we want to hear what you have to say! :-) Kp

Brotherhood. Struggle. Triumph. Just to name a few. I have met great people and made awesome friends along the way. As soon as I saw DoD I knew it would be where I would reside for the rest of my destiny days. When destiny first came out I had a four month old so I didn't have much time to spare. Things have changed a little bit now but the same great fiends still remain.

So, I basically stopped playing video games when my son was 3 months old. I didn't pick it back up until 8 months later when I picked up a ps4 and destiny. A week after that I found DoD. With a one year old son crawling around it was incredible to find a group of guys in the same boat. All of us trying to balance family, work and gaming. I was actually also new to psn since I played on the Xbox 360 for the previous 7 years. It was awesome to find guys that understood that I had to go "right now" even though we were in the middle of something. I honestly think it helped my wife be more okay with me gaming. This group provides the flexibility that reduces the strain on other areas of our lives caused by gaming. It's been great! Thank you to all of the cool guys in this group! Stay [b]awesome![/b]

I've been a member of dod for quite awhile. I've made some great friends here and have had some great times. Dod represents too many things to say. But I will say this, dod is the best clan with some of the best people. Its a place where we can talk about our family or cars or guns or gaming. There is always someone here. A place while gaming you can make a mistake and not feel like you will get kicked out. Everyone just has a good laugh and you try again. Thnx for this clan sir. You have my love.

Family comes first. I have made some good friends in DoD. It's nice and funny how right before a raid a member can fall asleep next to there kid and no one gets mad or upset. Or even myself fall asleep during a raid because of my son tiring me out and no one gets mad. DoD understands the beauty, fun and the struggles of being a parent. continue to give advice and encouragement to your fellow DoD.
