Seriously, I am physically shaking after two hours of trying to get through the Shattered Realm on Legendary (I solo most things these days), and it has been the worst experience I have had playing Destiny 2.
Let's start with Bungie's twisted obsession with spamming cheap, exploding enemies at you which run faster than you can keep track of, then on top of that, disable your radar. One whole Screeb who managed to avoid getting exploded with his pals comes around the other way and one-shots me. Guess I just need to get good or something to avoid that.
Scorn Chieftans and their freaking grenade launchers. Seriously, I think trying to light that second beacon took five years off my life. So many grenades, so spammy. At this point, Gambit seems less infuriating. Also, why spawn THREE Unstoppable Champions at the second beacon but only ONE Overload at the first? Setting up the player to fail by setting up false expectations of the next encounter.
While I was doing this, I was shifting my loadout around (yeah, means quitting, going back to Orbit, then having to do this hell all over again), and during this, I discovered it takes THREE F-ING ASCENDANT SHARDS TO MASTERWORK AN EXOTIC ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Do you play your own game? Because I do, and that is just uncalled for.
I never made it to the boss. I doubt I would have. I'm glad I didn't put any holes in my wall or snap my controller in half. Maybe I'll try it again tomorrow when I rethink my life decisions that led me here to whine on the forums.
Seriously, though, what is the point to this? Is there any better chance at Exotics? Guaranteed drop of a Tier III Umbral Engram? Guaranteed drop of Enhancement Prisms to buy all those Ascendant Shards I need to Masterwork my Snythoceps just so I can run some mods? I ain't doing this for 15 Triumph Score, sorry.

1 AntwortenDear god if this isn’t the most relatable thing I’ve ever read. Literally how are you supposed to fight 6 Orange bar taken centurions with arc shields lobbing axion dart after axion dart at you and you have 0 cover, all the while being swamped by psions, sniped by hobgoblins, and chased by an unstoppable centurion and an overload hobgoblin at the same time. It’s quite ridiculous the amount of ads that’s spawn on ONE beacon. Much less the boss fight. I’ve done Grandmaster nightfalls with less enemies and challenge. The problem is that Bungie throws in all these modifiers and expects it to create a “challenging experience” when in reality it literally makes it impossible to play as a solo player. Such a waste of time and mind power. If you value your sanity stay away from solo legend Shattered Realm.

Did it with 2 randoms from lfg, it was do-able, but it wasn't fun.

1 AntwortenIt seems doable but sucks I’m sure. Honestly the only thing I’m tired of is the exploding enemies. Like they’re good in some instances but they’re becoming too common and it’s irritating. Curse The Dark Below and House of Wolves for introducing cursed thrall and exploder shanks!
-
1 AntwortenYeah I tried solo for a while before accepting its probably not worth the effort to solo. I'll put it off for a few weeks then probably give in and post an LFG in the app. Not my favorite way to get through things, but oh well.
-
1 AntwortenSo sorry this activity was so frustrating for you! Unfortunately Bungie does not make every activity do-able for everyone; they like to assign tiers of difficulty to activities for players of different skill levels and solo shattered realm is one of the harder ones. Believe it or not, this is actually a breeze for some people in the community. I even know guys who solo GM nightfalls and 2 man flawless entire raids just for fun, imagine that!
-
1 AntwortenI love how the second any activity gets a bit too tough, you all just come on here and start crying that it’s not a handout.
-
1 Antwortenlet me guess, modifiers, champions and being 1-shot.
-
4 AntwortenWhy is there no reward to chase for this? Isn’t this a loot based game? Is it too difficult for Bungie to add a new weapon or armor set or something to chase? I don’t get why they put new content in without any loot incentive. What hot garbage this game is.
-
1 AntwortenI usually like a challenge but the only reason to do this is to get the season title. Adding another title to the ones I have means nothing to me. Now for an example of a tough challenge that was worth it I present the Presage mission. Fairly difficult and worth running to get a different roll of the excellent Dead Man's Tale scout rifle. It also contributed to the season title but there was more than enough reason to do the mission even if it hadn't. I ran that quite a lot because it wasn't a waste of time. Bungie needs to look at why the Presage mission was such a success and do more of that than just designing a mission that flings tons of enemies at the player and calling it a day.
-
The first beacon was tough. I keep running in circles non stop killing everything. The second beacon I just stayed on the back side of the center platform of the room so everything can't shoot you at the same time. The third platform I stayed back at the zone in point and killed the tank. The third beacon was easy compared to the first two.
-
I tried it last night. It was challenging, but without any significant reward incentive to run legend difficulty over the normal difficulty, I can’t really see myself playing it very often. Which is a shame, because I really liked Shattered Realm, and I think it’s one of the better pieces of seasonal content Bungie has come up with.
-
1 AntwortenThe lack of visibility in the ascendant realm also doesn't help.
-
The point is to please that minority of players who [i]enjoy[/i] punishing content…. …and please those devs who like making it. More so the latter than the former imo.
-
1 AntwortenLoL let’s just Water down this game so much so the solo player can succeed.
-
Last weeks TWAB said to bring someone along. Just sayin. Anything with match game you should at least 2 man. There’s no reward for it just seasonal title but if you want that just lfg. I did it with two people not using a mic
-
Yeah that was tough! I got lucky and got all my deaths in before darkness enveloped me. Not sure what class you run but I used an invis hunter, a bow, salvos, and sleeper. Salvos was great for arc shields, sleeper for solar and the one void chieftain got a grenade to the face. The boss isn’t so bad if you stay near the edge of the arena out of the way of the tanks aim. Good luck, if I can do it, you can 👍

3 AntwortenYou must be new if you just found out it takes 3 ascendant shards to upgrade an exotic.. Considering it's easy to get them in the GMNF I don't see why you're complaining. Everything else I agree with, especially the little exploding screebs
-
It was a pretty sweaty experience , that second beacon is intense , have arc, keep moving and kill the chieftains has soon has you can. There is no cover , but the enemies lose you if you keep moving I did it with double invis hunter, took me an hour and 10 min

1 AntwortenSounds like you need more practice.

5 AntwortenI too, tried to solo this and made it to the second beacon. First beacon, there’s an area above and a little behind the beacon you can jump to where it’s relatively safe to pick enemies off. Second beacon, good -blam!- luck. Haven’t found a spot to hide in relative safety and getting rushed by just about every enemy after about 50% alignment was horrible. Gave up after a bit. Lfg’d and got it completed. Unless you’re Esoterrick, I recommend clan mates or LFG.
-
1 AntwortenYou speak for many. Ignore those that break your arguments down or spout gt gud, they mean well but I think they miss your point. I do some of the lost sectors in legendary but gave up on this as it was simply painful. Some are pleased that the next campaign will have a legendary option , Why bother?
-
7 AntwortenLol I gave up after 2 wipes at the first beacon. Grabbed a team off lfg and got it done in a few mins.. I have no issue with them releasing hard content, I love it. But what I'm not a fan of is going from super easy, to ultra tough...and there's no incentive. At least give me a carrot to chase otherwise I just cannot be arsed. Why is it so polarised.

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von FloodZ: 10/17/2021 8:49:48 PM[i][b]OH YEAH? [/b][/i] Well two hours after legendary shattered realms was released, there were probably at least five uber-streamers who'd posted their triumphant flawless solo run, so your point is invalid. /s Bungie needs to focus less on content relevant to 1% of the players and stop adding artificial barriers to fun (spectral pages nerf) for the rest of us. Prepare for a slew of "get gud" and "not everyone is supposed to be able to play the most difficult content" posts.
-
[quote]I discovered it takes THREE F-ING ASCENDANT SHARDS TO MASTERWORK AN EXOTIC ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Do you play your own game?[/quote] I know, right? Can you imagine them not putting that info anywhere? I mean really! They could be nice and put it on the screen somewhere close so you could see exactly what it costs for each upgrade you want to add! Seriously though, it sucks that you didn't realize that. Did you figure it out when trying to Masterwork a 4th one?

blinding bade grenade launcher is your best friend here. combine with a bleak watcher warlock.
