I understand not enjoying grindy quests, but at the same time this event is supposed to last the better part of three weeks. The community is putting Bungo in no win scenarios. If this quest rolled out and it wasn't grindy the community would complain about lack of content. If it is grindy the community would complain that it is too grindy.
The entire point of this event is to play EAZ as well as other activities. If you want to complete it as fast as possible like I did, that is fine, but do not complain because it is grindy. I also do not understand community frustration with the miniboss kills. I ran EAZ until I got all of my chests, than LFG'd a group to farm minibosses. From start to finish it took me two hours.
Lastly if you really want to get the most out of this event you should be playing a lot of EAZ anyway! I understand wanting to get the legendary armor as soon as possible, but playing EAZ gives great rewards!! I already have my legendary armor and have found that Im actually playing more EAZ now than I was when I was doing the quest.
Solstice is a good event. Could it have been better? Sure. I would have loved it if they added a couple new solstice weapons. But the event itself is good. Considering the past live events, I think Solstice is a great improvement and a great step in the right direction.

I dont find it grindy. I just dont like the fact you have a wk to get all the character to majestic just to get them into shattered throne just to masterwork them. If they were smart they shouldve made shattered throne available all month

If it's supposed to last the better part of 3 weeks on one character then why have a reward for doing all three characters? 300 EAZ minibosses and 4500 orbs and 225 guardian kills with specific weapons is a VERY tall ask for all but the most extreme of players or those with nothing going on outside of this game. Or, the few people who just find a way to circumvent doing these tasks "naturally" through gameplay.

Thats a fair point. Im coming at this from the mindset of someone who is just trying to get the armor for one character. However, I don’t really know how Bungo could have adjusted the event to make it better for those going for the armor on all three characters. Imo the entire point of going for the sparrow in the first place is because it takes a lot of effort to get and as a result few people will have it. To me, if they were to decrease the requirements to get it, it would be completely worthless. Obviously this would be a different story if said sparrow was an exclusive weapon or something. But its not. To me this is a very similar situation to the Iron Banner emblem you could get for grinding out 2500 kills with the iron burden modifier. That emblem has value because it was difficult to get. You did not have to go for it just as you do not have to go for the Solstice sparrow. Getting 1 set of armor for 1 character is not that bad. What are your thoughts?

The biggest reason why I wanted to start this discussion is just because I feel as though this community has such a negative outlook on everything this game comes to offer. By no means is Bungo perfect, in fact I think its pretty evident they are far from it. But people need to at least recognise that they have been makig strides forward, abeit very slowly, but at least we are moving forward.

These are all fair points. I do not think the Sparrow should be easy to get. But at the same time, I agree with you in that it should at least be accessible if someone decides they want it. Like if a player said hey I want that sparrow and plays 2 hrs a day for the rest of the event, they should get it.

Edited by GrumpyDadpool: 8/5/2019 5:05:52 PMThey don't need to adjust the individual steps, just make the sparrow obtainable after full masterwork of one set DURING the event, after the event MW steps still available but no sparrow. IMHO would have been much better. I know a number of people that only play one character at all, simply because they just don't have time to play all three, or even a second one. They're not the ones complaining, mind you, they've had years of this kind of stuff from bungie so now it's just a *Shrug* moment for them. Hm...Moments of Shrug. Anyway, I'm not really complaining wholly, a little bit sure, but I recognize largely my reason for not getting the sparrow is just simply because I don't want to do all of this on every character. But for a lot of people, it's not even in the cards if they even wanted to, and that's a shame. Ultimately though, it's just a sparrow...you can only equip one. (And this is coming from a guy who has a deep desire to have all the things)

Which, in my mind, says I have a week per character. IF I want the sparrow. I am at the point in this game if characters share triumphs and gear then they should share quests and story completions.
-
I've given up on getting the sparrow, personally, I just really don't want to do this grind 2 more times. I got other games I enjoy playing too and not a lot of time to do it all. haha.

First grind is easy. Second character grind for crucible became harder but faster
