Because I have to play by myself I'm getting penalized. The people that I made friends with have all left the game. I come back every now and then with high hopes, but it's just over for me with this game. Yet another kick in the sacc. No hope for solo players.

Dont make the cap require raiding if you arent going to include a LFG IN THE ACTUAL GAME The endgame satisfaction we wanted was getting God Rolls on randomized weapons and armor, not having our level gimped unless we use external websites to form teams with randoms (lord knows none of our friends play anymore).

Very much disagree with the elimination of exotic drops being up to 5 light levels above your current level. In D1, we would farm POE/ strikes/ Archon Forge/ crucible for that needed piece of exotic armor to hit max light. As a compromise, why don’t you reduce the exotic drop rate to mitigate/ deter exploitation. Here’s a huge problem for your game right now: Tuesday rolls around and players knock out the weekly milestones within a few hours. Because exotics aren’t like they were in D1, there’s no point in continuing to play the game for the rest of the week as no higher level gear/ drops are available. Raids/ Trials relies heavily on time investment to put together and coordinate a fire team of 4/6 and is not for solo players. In turn, what happens is that people play the game for a few hours on Tuesday, then pull the lever at the vendor slot machine hoping for their needed drop. If the piece doesn’t drop, then it’s right back to Fortnite/ PUBG/ whatever. In my opinion, your changes just seems like a way to artificially slow down progression. Allow players to stay connected and derive value/ progression from your game all week. I get it, raids and trials add additional opportunities for higher gear, but if I can’t find a team of 4/6, or don’t have time, then I’ll see you the following Tuesday. I think you guys need to look at D1’s reward/ loot system and allow exotics to drop up to 5 light levels above your current level. Additionally, you need to add strike specific loot/ chests like in D1 that provide that needed pieces of gear/ weapons up to 5 light levels above your current light. This keeps players playing all week long. Again, please refer to D1 for examples. I don’t want to pull the lever and walk away for the week after 5 milestones or whatever it is. I should be able to find value within your game all week long. If you want, make the exotics drop from those end-game/ high-level activities. But, don’t throttle/regulate my availability of high level loot sources. Keep it challenging, reduce the rates, mitigate exploitation, but keep me playing. Don’t just push me into a multi-hour raid or trials run. Again, just my thoughts/ opinions. Thanks

Woah, so forcing people to play a broken and probably the worst gamemode in Destiny history will be the best way to level up, Trials. That's like making an event being the best way to level up, which i have to wait a week until i can do it. Really, you guys are completely braindead -.- As to say the raid is not any better, those are the two modes which probably have to lowest player number and that is your idea of changing that? By the way i guess leveling up will be the only reason overall and still no loot to go for. Why the hell should someone do this?

The reimplementation of “Forever 29” into Destiny 2 is not progress! Those dedicated SOLO players like myself already have little reason to persist. You have now removed that little incentive. Those dedicated Raiders and Trials players left, unlike me, played for fun, and you have done zero to improve the fun! Good luck... TLDR: forcing teamshooting into PVE will not save this game. Dead is dead...

That TWAB is the exact opposite of helping this game recover. You really think people want to play that terrible raid and the most unconceieveably broken and exploited PVP gamemode to earn drops that increase a nearly useless power level by obtaining the same uninaginative weapons and armor pieces that have been dropping repeatedly for over half a year? That sir, is crazy. Make better loot, fix Trials, make a NEW raid, and make power level matter like it did in D1... [i]Then[/i] you can worry about making the path to greatness something of value.

I really think bungie has to address the issue of solo players not having a direct path to build endgame skills and a reliable in game ability to match up with players for endgame. Teams need to know that players is ready. Story, public’s and strikes where players can be carried isn’t enough to prepare players for endgame activities. Bungie really needs a hard endgame difficulty solo raid arena (raid like elements using ghost and mic maybe)that gives gear to help in the raid and unlocks an unlimited raid and nightfall matchmaking system(mic needed). Not to gain light for cap just to get players abilities where they need to be for endgame and allows teams to know that the player is ready for end game. 6 player raids should give gear that has perks for the next raid adventure. I mean who wants to collect all the gear for a raid that once you have all the gear there is no point in playing that raid. Public events and adventures could give gear that helps in strikes. Heroic Strikes could give gear with perks that help in the arena or whatever else Bungie has planned. A ladder loot system with each activity gearing the player up for the next endgame adventure. Those perks could unlock to be seen completely(maybe a small teaser)when the DLCs drop to avoid spoilers to new enemies or mechanics. This would really be an in game path to connect solo players with new clans/friends and as a result have a less divided community. Multiple clans up to 3 would also help a lot. Maybe only the primary clan has rewards and clan rep attached to it. Bungie you can do better than LFG/guided Games that does nothing to get players ready and to show teams they are ready for endgame.

HAPPY 4/20 BUNGIE (Its legal there in Seattle spark up....)

This Week at Bungie we continue to do as little as possible but hype the hell out of it so you'll throw money at the screen.

If you want to see Bungo fail THEY'RE ON THE PATH BABY!! weeeeeee Idiots... Public event participation will go to zero NICE JOB Bungo! Reason to do strikes NO REASON TO DO STRIKES really NICE JOB bungo! The raid is old & NO ONE CARES another brilliant Bungo move! Trials just lol on that bs! Psst Bungo trials was so d1 you stupid fools.

And nothing else. When will you guys deliver anything the community wants? Answer: [spoiler]never[/spoiler]

Is this one of those “2 steps forward; 10 steps back moments?”

Community during a release of new DLC: Already hit maxed Light Lvl after 3 days...this game is a F*kin joke. No grind, No progression.... whaaaaa whaaaa Bungie: We are slowing down progression so if you only do certain activities every week it will take you longer to hit max; compared to someone who does alot of content routinely. However! YOU CAN STILL GET TO MAX LIGHT LEVEL!! Community: WHAT!? Now you're making things slower and more of a grind!? This game is a f*kin joke. Screw you Bung-wholey-o.... Me: smmfh *sighs*

Cosmo, I hope the new light progression system works well. I have serious doubts about it. It seems you went from making light progression easy as pie to really, really slow. Hopefully I am wrong, but this would follow Bungies trend of overfixing the game (hence the monthly meta in D1). Can you all explain why you are removing the clan engram bonus? When my clan was playing, I always wanted to jump on and hit the crucible to earn the engram for my team. Why would you want to dumb that down? Is there any benefit to being in a clan anymore?

Awesome, thanks for screwing over the solo players. I'm sure this will make me and other solos join clans and use lfg now, not. Those that enjoy the circle jerks that are raids and trials will enjoy their power levels that will make EGC easier for them. Good luck with that fall DLC.
