Solo players need to have thier voice heard
In light of the recent patch that increased "difficulty/damage received" for players who may have to or want to play the nightfall, or weekly, missions solo, I wanted to see how much of us at least those who see and read this actually want our Solo rights defended, because Bungie's change for solo players is really turning away more people and pushing them to the side lines just for not having a team. Some of us do not have a choice but to solo some of these missions just due to availability, work/family life, etc. It's absolute and complete asinine that Bungie even implemented the damage increase against solo players. So please I urge those who care to push for change during the next patch/DLC release to speak up.

Glad to see another post on this issue. Bump.

Well before the patch it apparently was "unfair" for groups because enemies were stronger if more people were playing together, like borderlands and diablo, but to me that made sense. But I rather it go back that way, if chances for legendary and exotic drops were increased as a result in the increased difficulty. But as it stands right now they need to make it fair for solo and people in a group.

"Oh make it fair for solo players" seriously SHUT THE f*ck UP I solo and besting the nightfall is supposed to be an achievement I know most of you people that play on consoles aren't used to the way MOMs are supposed to be but the whole reason of soloing isn't to have the difficulty lowered because your a puss and want to cheese for some god*amn exotic gear, It's to kick the ass of a boss that was meant for three people by yourself and earn, and yes I did say earn, YOUR REWARDS, Shocking isn't it?

5 RepliesEdited by DoktorBoar: 12/3/2014 10:34:26 AMSo what's with the guys who falsely claim to breeze through this weeks' nightfall but when you go to their recent games, you don't see it. They're just forum terds. No nightfall soloing is easy, and it's certainly redundant. It will try your patience for sure! It always is because it's designed to flow with groups. That's the idea behind yellow bars, same shit, more absorption that draws the fight out for larger teams. I actually believe overall difficulty was lowered in the patch and that there is no scaling at all. 1 or 3, it's always the same load up of monsters that come out from the same places, or so it seems...idk.

Solo players should be heard cause I don't want to always wear a mic just to play

Pre-patch nightfall solo was fun and challenging - best aspect of the game for myself. Post-patch nightfall is impossible and not at all fun - arduous, painful and grinding (you unload a whole synthesis of 'burn' ammo just to bring a shield down...then it regenerates). Looking beyond the petty, ignorant and trolling comments: -why cant nightfall be difficult (not impossible) for solo and for teams? why not appeal to the masses? why can't people like the game for various reasons? -solo should be difficult (not impossible) for a different reason to teams; if you die, its all over and you start again, adding a different element of challenge to play; in teams if you die you have a chance to be revived and continue play. -destiny in my market has been advertised as a single player and multi-player game - which is it!; nightfall has always been advertised for fire teams of 1-3 players, why change that now? why make the possibility of getting decent gear impossible for the solo player? Raids have always been for teams of 6, I respect that and don't care about raid gear. Just to sum up, I feel like there's no challenge left in the game and a new story line with DLC's probably wont change that. I don't expect everyone to agree to my opinion; but take a step back and ask yourself, why not?

Don't complain about the game being "hard" when you obviously don't try to attain the best gear. If you play the game casually expect to be stomped in PvE.

2 RepliesThe idea that you should be able to do, on your own, something that takes three people is absolutely ridiculous. Doubly so when your complaint is "I can't manage on my own the most difficult three-player activity in the entire game, so you should make it easier for me".
-
I don't think they should change it back. All they really did was make it equal regardless of fire team size. These activities are meant to be tackled by a team. It made no sense that they actually made the encounters easier to if you had less people in the group. Now it is the same across the board. Soloing a heroic strike should be a badge of honor. Not the preferred way of doing it because it is less difficult. It is extremely easy to find groups on the forums for all activities in this game. Personally I think they should have matchmaking for the weeklies. But the forums work fine for now.

Solo: level 30 without the new insane shields Two person fireteam: level 29 with shields Three person fireteam: level 30 with shields That's what I would like

3 RepliesImplement matchmaking. There's no, and I mean NO reason why matchmaking shouldn't be available for weekly strikes and Nightfall. I haven't seen a good reason why Bungie didn't include it, if someone has then let me in on it because I am dying to know what it is.

1 ReplyI play solo because I have no irl friends that play and I have no mike, yet, to communicate with the friends that I have in the game. Id really like to se more of the group-randomizer on weekly and nightfall than the current "bring-your-team-if-you-want-to-play-this" - routine
-
Just make the challenges matchmaking like the strikes. problem solved for solo's. Even without headset you have more firepower than solo. Or always good, make an option for matchmaking or solo ;) Problem solved
-
I think the Nightfall should have the same amount of damage that has to be done to all enemies. There also shouldn't be any damage modifiers for being alone or with 1 or 2 other people. Every enemy has their set HP and you have your set damage.
-
But they're solo? Theres no one around to hear them!

9 RepliesI agree it is harder but its not impossible. However I think that you are missing the point of destiny, join a group if you don't have enough friends who play. This is not a solo game.

2 RepliesEdited by DoktorBoar: 12/2/2014 9:13:30 PMI don't want players to feel forced into a fireteam to enjoy content. I enjoy the function in this game a whole -blam!-in' bunch, but lots of us like some alone time. You don't need incentives for me to group up other than someone simply letting me know they'd think it be cool to roll tg for a while or more. Just invite me, don't -blam!- with solo scaling. Forcing it is going to kill the whole group thing and should not be done. Let it flow natural with actual social functions that don't revolve around a gear contest.

Bump that!
-
Make matchmaking or the original way. The raid won't have matchmaking. But there is 0 excuse for the nightfall. Mic not required.

2 RepliesEdited by Coatedmonk: 12/2/2014 10:26:48 PMAs a solo player mainly, I can actually say I'm singing to a different tune today. And with my family and working 3rd shift, didn't really know how quick of a response you get from just putting out there you need a time. Wanna play solo, by all means if that's your choice. Yet if I may offer from a solo perspective, yes it can be rewarding to solo the nightfall for that self accomplishment and gratification. On the other hand, I jumped in the recruitment forum where there is someone asking for nightfall, weekly, or raid players every and I mean every minute. I got a response in less than five minutes. We did the nightfall and weekly in a lil over 20 minutes while having a blast as to how fun and fast it was...especially when having the right dmg type weapons. One had to leave, and found another player within 3 minutes. Did another two nightfall and two weekly in about 40 tops. Met three new people to play strikes with. And it took no time at all for a response. If you can't find the time, won't fault you. But give it a try once, it'll give you more time to do other things.

Feel your pain but where all alone complaining! Bump

No. You need friends.
