To: DeeJ; soloing nerf.

So in one of the recent patches, you guys decided to basically punish those who prefer soloing missions, strikes, etc. But there's something you guys failed to consider, I THINK. First off: Player connection issues. So let's say you're half way through a strike/almost at the boss and two of the players get kicked to orbit and you're stuck by yourself. Do you want us to continue something you guys made harder on solo players because of something out of their control ? Second: What about the players the decide to leave at the beginning of the strike ? Do you want the last person to just give up as well and not even attempt doing the strike alone until you match someone else up with the line person ? Why didn't you guys just make soloing do the same base damage as having 3 people in a strike before the update, and then have 3 people in a strike do higher damage or whatever. As if doing strikes wasn't easy enough with 3 people before the update. Not complaining about making that easier, thank you haha. But there's multiple factors you guys didn't take into consideration because you saw people soloing nightfalls and said NOPE WE'LL ACCEPT NONE OF THAT. How do you guys decide to not even think about those factors and make it harder to solo when it could've been fixed in the way I previously stated. It's like you guys completely blew that out of proportion.

  • I just finished Solo Weekly 28, and... Yes, it was harder... I had to use all my Arc weapons to finish the mission. Damn Vandal Snipers with Arc Burn, I despise you!!

    • I still don't bat an eyelash while doing things on solo. Then again I prefer going at things solo,

      • Solo 'd the nightfall yesterday wasn't too bad. Given I had a maxed arc epitaph and Fatebringer. Only had to self rez once cuz of invisible vandals. Fire grenades was good for the skanks (shanks).

      • I understand wanting to make things a touch easier for 3 man fireteams (though IMO it was fine already) but it is a shame they made soloing tougher. Looking forward to seeing how I fare with the Nightfall tomorrow...

        • I think their intention was more to fix the strikes when using a 3 man fire team, but they unintentionally made it more difficult for solo strikes. That is the way I read it. So I would take umbrage with your following quote. "because you saw people soloing nightfalls and said NOPE WE'LL ACCEPT NONE OF THAT. " However, you raise some interesting points, and if they tweak this further I am sure your input has value.
