Solstice of heroes just makes everything feel like a chore for no reason. I was playing and just not having fun because I knew that if I wanted to have fun then I would have to switch my armor and loadout to what I want to use and play around with, but if I switched my armor I wouldn't get any progress towards any of the solstice of heroes armor. It really makes no sense why I have to go and do 10 gambit matches or 10 strikes when you have this new mechanic that makes your super last longer or gives invisibility and true sight. Why not have the progress based on the elemental orbs or any of the new stuff, not the stuff we have done 100 times over already. This event just isn't fun and feels like a huge haunting checklist floating over my head any time I play anything else that isn't getting progress done for solstice armor. Edit: I'm not complaining too much about the grind as I am complaing about what activities you have to do for the grind. They could have easily made it more about the actual premise behind solstice of heroes rather than just "hey, go do what you have already been doing for the past 2 years but this time with more orbs." Why not make the EaZ more interesting rather than the barebones area it is. To be fair this is just an event and not a DLC but it's been executed poorly in terms of interest and entertainment, and this a summer event. Edit 2: Also, I am still playing the game, I didnt stop playing because of solstice. I have been having fun running weird loadouts in crucible and doing raids with my friends, basically doing what I want. However, I would have liked an event where it wasnt about grinding for new armor at all, but an event that made it feel like summer in the destiny world. Something that we could all just have fun with and not have to worry about getting progress done towards anything. Something like a crazier version of soccer in the farm social space or the air hockey in the tower during the dawning but bigger and better.
