Yes it can be done. With some hard work, grinding and luck. I have never raided, done The Trials Of Osiris, or The Prison of Elders Level 42. Nor will I until they get matchmaking. I reached 335 by doing Heroic Strikes, The Court of Oryx and a lot of Iron Banner (and all solo). I post this today to give hope to those out there that don't want to humble themselves at LFG or don't have a lot of friends standing by to team up with.
Edit: You can also get some great drops if you use the TOC on patrol missions in the Cosmodrome. I have been bagging exotics on the Blight Mission, The Troll Patrol and any of the Taken Champions that pop up there (and on other planets).

It's not that hard to hit max without the raid now they're are many paths to max level now.

1 ReplyFWIW - I was a lone wolf for much of the Crota days. I did my very first VoG raid right after HoW came out. Was still pretty shy about LFG'ing and so I never got my "Acheivements" in year one. All of my friends now on my friends list came from LFG'ing. I now have a list full of people for nearly any activity. I even met some serious PVP'ers that carried my scrub azz to the lighthouse. yes. LFG absolutely sucks ballsak sometimes. ...but in the end it's wroth it to get a greater variety of gear, and to make friends. If I had not made friends and taken the leap into the bigger gaming community as a whole I would probably have given up on this game long ago. It's my friends and our shared experiences that keeps me coming back. OP - no way is any of this an insult or attack. 335 solo is definitely an accomplishment. one that I am not trying to diminish. I just want to point out that LFG'ing isn't so bad. (ok, it CAN be really bad, but sometimes it's not, and sometimes it's really rewarding)

1 ReplyYou can do Prison of Elders at 42 solo, by the way ...

5 RepliesYou think matchmaking for trials, raids, and CoE is a good idea? Good luck. But congrats on the 335
-
If you enjoyed playing your way and got to where you wanted, congrats. Now that you're there, maybe venture out and try other activities.

Same boat! Except I do 42 COE with LFG w/no mics. :( Just can't seem to get any Antiquated Runes... And Saber/Darkblade/Malok haven't been kind with their helm drops...

I'm with you on the Raid part. Communicating with 5 randoms is by no means something that this introvert would categorize as "fun." But no reason you can't do Nightfalls or CoE 42. I post a standard message in the recruitment section all the time and get plenty of like minded folks: "334-335 (class) looking for 2 to run CoE42/NF. No mic required." Works like a charm, every time.

Besides artifacts what did you get from the court of oryx that was high light? Just wondering

2 RepliesWell done Guardian. What about Patrol (i.e., Taken Champion farming for Exotics)?
-
I'm at 330 through IB, faction/crucible packages and CoO.

Too bad you're limited to a fourth of the gear, and miss out on a lot of weapons/armor

They have matchmaking so people don't get pissed from getting bad teammates Trials matchmaking would be a boost fest. With even faker k/ds then there are now

Congrats! I bet that was quite a challenge as I've done all of those things you mention and still haven't reached 335. You really are missing out on some of the most fun content though by refusing to do those things. Even running ToO is a blast if you go into it looking for a good time and not drive yourself mad in an attempt to go flawless.
