Anyone else not having fun as a solo player?
Anyone else not having as much fun as a single player? I feel like I used to be able to hop in and feel like I accomplished something each time I logged in, but now its feels like im wasting my time. Havent had much luck or motivation to do the raids. I only play solo cause the 10 people or so I could rely on, to play with, gave up on the game. Its probably just me, but was just curious. I really wish they had match making for the content.
EDIT 5-17
Amazed at the responses guys! I just wanted to clarify that yes, I understand that I could use LFG or play a different game (which I do) its just that this game isnt as friendly towards the solo player. I used to have 2 groups of people to play with but they all became jilted by the game and quit. Im essentially the last guy holding out for this game still. Haha. The biggest issue right now I have is loot progression, and something to chase. Like a grasp of malok with the perfect role! LOVE heroic strikes feeling Heroic. I just wish there was a carrot to chase there like in D1. Thanks again for all the responses.

43 RepliesYup. For a social game, Bungie tries everything in their power to not make this game too social. This game really needs in-game LFG, tower chat, planetary chat, OPTIONAL (let's emphasize that) matchmaking for activities like nightfall, trials and why not raids? Let people try and succeed or fail. But let them at least try.

Me, the games isn't fun anymore if you need a group for every fart. Half the milestones are bugged (for solo players), the escalation protocol is well placed in front of the entrance to a questgiver, and if find something to do alone, somewhere on the way, guess what, I'm forced to group. Thank you very much ...

then quit

I understand how you feel. But this is how I work around the situation. I don’t like to raid with my friends because we can become jaded to each other and hate each other due to the stress of the raid, so I tend to make new friends everyday for any activity. I also don’t rely on them to do future raids if we become friends. I just find new people. Matchmaking with raids would only work if they were shorter and easier like Final Fantasy 14 which also has the more complicated ones for people to party up with.

My issue is the raids aren't fun to LFG. Not saying you can't LFG raids, I do it sometimes on FFXIV when my static isn't on and I want to grind out a mount. However... Destiny raids just aren't fun. They are challenging for LFG groups because everyone doesn't play with each other and raid experience is always mixed. Plus a single mistake leads to a full wipe on a boss or encounter, which is complete BS in raids. You screw up? You die or get some sort of debuff that makes your life harder. It usually takes multiple screw ups or specific timings where a death will cost you a wipe. However, Bungie has to rely on that because their raids aren't hard at all and are frankly really boring. Think about it? Every raid boss is the same for 3 years straight basically. Deal with adds, do a group mechanic within a short amount of time, either boss shields or players get a massive damage buff, 30 seconds of DPS, then rinse and repeat. This is incredibly tedious, but because people complained about bullet sponge bosses instead of the real issue that Bosses are basically glorified turrets, we are here now. Bullet sponges are fine in a raid setting when the boss is the main focus, but it never has been so far Bungie's focus to make the boss the general focus. The only raid boss that breaks the mold was Templar when you were doing challenge mode. It was the best fight Bungie ever made because it was a long drawn out fight where you had to swap between who could DPS and who needed to control adds while also having the relic runner bounce between keeping the boss planted and killing oracles. It was fun because everyone was involved like a machine to kill the boss actively.

Edited by raikirirei: 5/18/2018 4:50:26 AMTo be honest with you, i'm am not having fun even if i'm playing with some friends and we raid... As you said i feel like i'm wasting my time. Progression is totally broken, heroic modifiers made strikes tedious even if you are over 360, and a lot of people leave almost all the strikes when the instantkill melee modifiers is active. EP, last week a lot of people tried it, this week... nobody cares anymore, because it is an impossible activity to do if you are not in a lobby with 9 players and even then is very hard and not rewarding at all. Since D2, guardians become really weak, power mean nothing, and with WM the situation is even worst. The new raid... saw the video, and i have no interest at all in trying it... i used to love D1 raid and now they have to force me to go in and i do it just for the power engram... I think i will try IB next week, and faction rally in 2 weeks and then i don't know if i'll keep playing... was 8 hard months and i'm tired. They want feedback, they want forgive and comprehension like this was a new project, but it is actually year 4!

2 RepliesEdited by Penhalion Wolfe: 5/17/2018 1:31:53 PMYep you are pretty stuffed unless you decide to play 60 - 90 quickplay matches to get the 4 high level engrams from maxing the valour rank. The raid gives you 4 for calus and a further 2 for eater (I'm ignoring the new raid layer as it's tedious as f$%k). You will also need to go flawless in Trials as another engram is hidden behind that toxic mess. I wonder if Bungie have realised that this is why most people are gone i.e. the majority of people, whether in clans or not, were playing largely solo.
-
My main issue are the nightfall heroic strikes. It's pretty much ruined strikes for me. The current roll is complete shit. Melee is fatal and melee speedup? I'm not sure what strikes are playable right now. And for the love of God, if you require 350 light, then drop something HIGHER than 340. Right now I pretty much only plan on playing strikes because I have to, which really sucks.
-
As a solo player I used lfg alot. Unfortunately people in lfg are far more toxic than forum dwellers. Luckily in d1 my clan was very active. In d2 unfortunately all I have is lfg. Just not worth the time or aggravation dealing with jackasses.
-
Man for me as a solo player crucible i just absolute trash. Time to kill is too high. team shot to death. Also why the heck is heavy ammo so damn prevalent like I personally want heavy ammo GONE or 1 or 2 spawns per match like Destiny 1. I dont need to get shotgunned in the face in the first 20 seconds of the game. Like I want to outplay and beat people in gunfights not fking heavy ammo galore every damn second. Wait cant out gun people anyway. always get team shot to shit
-
As a solo player, since Destiny 1, I've always had fun. But since the changes after the Warmind dlc regarding the progression of my guardians, I felt frustration overtaking me, and not wanting to get mad at a game, I stopped playing it on pc, ps4 and xbox . For me, now I have fun on other games, and Destiny is definitely dead for me!
-
4 RepliesCouldn’t agree more. I absolutely hate the strikes now. The modifiers are super jacked up and my fire team dies constantly. We get it @bungie, you punish solo players, but its your damn fault that my entire 78 member clan left the game. So it appears your solution is to make the game impossible to solo. Decision making at its finest.
-
I’m glad this is popular. Us solo players can’t do raids and nightfall’s because guided games sucks and that is the only way to get past the softcap
-
Of course you're not going to be having fun when you are doing the same thing every day,and with no actual content of course you are going to get bored fast. I'm glad i never bought this trash heap of a dlc. Never again well i ever fall for the hype.
-
I went back and reacquired the full Kellbreaker's armor set and I'm reforging some year 1 legendaries for fun crucible use soooo i'm still having fun. Wait. Which game are we talking about?
-
7 Repliesi have tons and tons of people to play with, all of which i met through LFG in year 1...the game isnt meant to be played solo, stop being a bi tch

58 RepliesEdited by Dark Raven 2501: 5/17/2018 9:22:12 PMFor a start you do realise that Bungie is anti solo player that they hate us so dam bad that they make an effort to make it even harder to do anything or to get anything so they can kick us off like we are some sort of leper. That why they back people who do raids & pvp only & for the rest of us we just get the scraps. Far as I’m concerned all players should be treated equally and that Bungie should stop supporting a minority over the entirety of the community Edit: for those who like to troll get a life I’am not paranoid I’am not stupid I was just stating a fact and before you passed me off as some Newby guess again I’m a veteran solo player that has stuck with this game right from its beginning so go troll someone else and if Bungie can’t take the criticism that it should change its way it does business

No im playing,borderlands2,god of war,deadrising4,soya,darksouls1 remasterd beta,the surge and i might buy FC5 or sinoha who knows wats next ,but i gonna haunt this fourm forever
-
I think that one of the objectives of the matchmaking is to get the people know each other and create a clan, but the truth is that in matchmaking nobody consider that idea.
-
1 ReplyNow I can't continue with a quest because I have this screwed up Psionic Potential Heroic mission active, and the quest starts from the same place. Modifiers screw the whole thing up. What a mess.
-
An in-game lfg/matchmaking for activities would solve most of the problems.
-
Not sure if you want to, but something I noticed yesterday as I was doing weekly milestones. I apparently hadn't done any of the adventures in the edz, nor did I do the setup for patrols. By the time I was done I received at least 1 purple that was about my level. it was fun running around edz killing stuff.
-
I sort of agree. I feel like after a few hours I've unlocked all I can for the week and outside of raids i essentially run out of any excitement of possibly getting "rewarded" for playing. It's still the same solid mechanics though which I enjoy so basically I've resigned myself to listening to podcasts or Jim norton most days while mindlessly plugging away at those override frequencies i constantly get repeats of. (I'm only at 32 for the hundreds I've turned in) so at this point the satisfaction is really just coming from amassing an army of tokens. hopefully the September update will give me a vault i can dive in scrooge mcduck style

3 RepliesEdited by Tis-but-a-scratch: 5/17/2018 9:09:05 PMAbsolutely. The escalation protocol is proving to be a white whale. I have never even been able to get 1 level done. I bet I've tried at least 20 times. Don't give me a quest I can't complete because of light level. To get the sleeper I have to be 360 for a strike or something. BS
-
Can't even finish some of these heroic strikes even though I'm at 350 because of blackout. Absurd. Momentum/inertia always screw up the game play so I had to abandon the heroic story on Mars I was going to do...but somehow there is an easy as s 300 level raid? DUMB
-
I sort of felt like I was accomplishing something before Warmind, though even more so when I was playing Destiny 1 (and I think that was due to the fact that the game had so much content and it had RANDOM ROLLS). After Warmind though, yeah, the game feels even LESS rewarding than it did before as a solo player, which... is saying something.
