Bungie It's time to respect ALL of the SOLO players!

Not everyone are fortunate enough to have their own clan or fire-team that can assist in matters outside their own interest, whether it's a older Raid, Dungeon or Higher difficulty Nightfall. Some people just lack friends to begin with. Some like it that way others don't. But that is not the point. Bungie, it's time you got of your high horse and gave something back to the solo players, give us the possibility to matchmake older content, like the Shattered throne, Gos, Pit of Heresy and so on. There are so much content and like myself we have only skimmed the surface at this point. The whole idea with a RPG or MMORPG is to have the fair chance to increase in stats and OBTAIN better gear without have the need for a private army of players. I can bet my bottom dollar on that the playerbase would increase if Bungie would open some more doors to the casual and single players out there. I have tried many time to solo Pit of heresy and i seem not be able to finish it. Why? Really bad stat armor and lackluster weapons to begin with. I watched a guy on Youtube that wasted över 8000 legendary shards on Master Rahool just to see what he could get. I have never even been closed 8000 shards in the first place. Every piece that need upgrades demands so much grind that i feel it's not worth it. But with a Matchmaking feature for the dungeons people would jump in , i certain of it. There are always people that want to make a run, and others can follow. No it's not the same as "guided" because this is matchmade and most people already know the route. Just like Presage, i have run the mission so many times, just to end up getting obliterated in the end because of Sh*tty loot drops with bad stats and unfair RNG. People run Crucible, Gambit and Nightfalls just to get better gear to be able to advance to high end content like VOG. There are so many out there that never will reach that far. Much because of the strict policy of the "elitist" players. And that will make Destiny veteran players drop of one by one. But i guess that will never happen, cause if more players would flock to the servers Bungie would have a real meltdown and upgrading the hardware will never occur, cause why mend something that is already broken? It's a real shame, so much content and much of it just wasted away instead for people to enjoy! You wan't to grow in number Bungie? UNLOCK MATCHMAKING FOR MORE CONTENT Those who claim that will ruin the experience seem not to have played public events like Blind Well, Altars of Sorrow and Override. The work just flawless without people chatting on mic or typing messages. Destiny is so broken and glitchy, and when you have to find other ways to play this type content the way it's not sopposed to be played. That right there says everything. You want new raid gear, well if you can't get a fireteam together, either use a "boost service" or "glitch the game to skip segments to reach the bosses. Those that feel they belong to the elite player group, well you have all the PVP, GM NF and VOG that you can play on the hardest difficulty and brag about. I'm talking about just getting a fresh start with some decent loot so even a solo player can manage Presage on their own. Maybe that is to much to ask for. Everything in this game cost materials, and without material you can not upgrade. Try getting ascendant shards without doing raids or dungeons. Bungie open the door and let the players in for once!

  • You got MMOs that have extremely difficult end game content.. Like, severe soul shattering content and take a realm reborn for example. Even the hardcore content has matchmaking and the majority of people watch guides first before they jump into the finder so they know what too do. Literally can do the same thing on this game but no. 🤦

    • Ive got 17,000 n i dont massively sweat, i just got sick of being Shard-less during Season of Arrivals so i just started deleting as much crap as i could n then it just slowly built up. Its the same-ish logic i use on any other games with Merchant's/Economy like Skyrim ect, make sure when you're dealin' you come away with more than you arrived with that way you never have a loss, just pure profit.

      • 100% agree. I play with my regular Destiny group, but sometimes grouping up with randoms can lead to a good time and them becoming friends. At the very least, Exclude Raids from matchmaking. All other content and their highest difficulty should have matchmaking.

      • Only thing I would add matchmaking to would be higher difficulty for nightfall only if the players have both weapon and champion mods equipped.

          If you want to play solo that's on you. If you want to get loot from raids, well you have to what everyone else does: go to lfgs, or learn how to make friends. Oh also Pit of Heresy is soloable, you just need the right weapons for the job.

Little more difficult mechanics, and half of the attempts with randoms were a mess lol.

            • Matchmaking for more content is not the answer. Learn the game and understand how to FARM…. Get good or give up.

            • I agree but also disagree. I don’t like playing with other people on games, so it is annoying that I’m almost forced to use a third party app to get someone to help if I’m wanting to grind some extra content. But also I realize this game is team oriented. So I understand that when I choose to not group up, then I realize I’m choosing to miss out on gear and resources (raid weapons, cores and prisms etc). Just the way it rolls I guess.

            • I hear you. If you ever need help with any of the content I'll lend a hand. I'm like you I'm a solo player but have been fortunate enough to be in a clan that found me. I have good enough gear and learned how to upgrade it accordingly that gave me good stats. I dont like pvp but have to do it sometime for a quest or whatever. But it does help to play with others. If Bungie can't come up with anything that would help out the solo players, try a clan. My clan always looking for players.

              Pretty cringe. There is a LFG system, discord, clans all of which are available. If someone doesn't want to use one of these avenues, most content in the game can be solo'd with a certain amount of skill required ranging from easier to more difficult. You say you can't finish presage -? You're on the lower end of the skill gap and thats ok, just something you need to work on. Perhaps try soloing public events then make them heroic by yourself when possible and solo those. Practice going flawless in overrides and in strikes. There are many avenues you can get great weapons and armor but you'll need to own the season pass. 3 guaranteed high stat armors from the recaster, then 9 attempts through corrupted chests (3 per char). Weapons from this season are amazing. Do i think the LFG website should be integrated into the game some how ? Absolutely yes - so if thats what you were trying to say, then i whole heartedly agree. If you were hoping for matchmaking for difficult content like it does for strikes? I would say no - Those activities require mechanics and communication. EDIT: LOL I just checked, you're in a clan of 90 people... play with your clannmates...

              • If you’re solo and want materials play crucible, quick play, like control, collect bounties. I’m mainly a solo player and I find myself having to upgrade gear just so I don’t have to throw away enhancement prisms. Especially iron banner weeks, it’s really kind of crazy how many shards, cores and prisms I collect over the course of the season. As far as the game goes I think you’re asking for something that not a lot of other people are asking for. I mean, the whole game is set up to play with others. Even with a shrinking player base still seems like there are a lot of players out there willing to join just about anyone anywhere they want to go. Kind of eliminates the need for expanded match making. Although would be interesting if they opened some of it up just to see how it goes.

              • The only thing is this. You are the one holding yourself back and nobody else. I think most people play alone until they see something in a activity they want. Then you need to do some homework make some friends or use lfg. It’s just that simple. Or you can face the hard truth. Some loot is gonna be unobtainable for you and that’s okay too. I’m never going to go flawless but I’ve accepted it.

              • Would be so freaking great if there could be a tutorial mode for the raids, where one can pratice the mechanics solo and get some gear which isn’t raid gear Or maybe it is raid gear but a weaker version of the original raid gear, and once you are ready for the real deal you can then jump in to the team, telling and showing them that you leatned the mechanics and are ready to go. I dont know but i find my idea brilliant

                • Or you could just make your own LFG asking for help? Ever stop to think of that instead of shouting at the rooftops for bungie to acknowledge solo/casual players?
