I can't tell you guys how many times I've done this today and STILL have yet to kill this b**** off! I've completed this strike for Heroic many times in the past, especially when it didn't require matchmaking. The problem with Nightfall is that the game tends to screw you over at every corner. I like a challenge, so I run solo.
Here's what I've been experiencing with this broken strike.....
-Spawns:
Why is it that while every enemy is in front of you, the game decides to smack you in the face with a random spawning enemy behind you to kill you off? This is the MAIN REASON why I haven't completed this Strike on Nightfall difficulty. I've died countless times when I'm at the boss fight, I'm shooting Omnigul and a Knight appears off screen and is firing a barrage of cannon fire at you. It happens almost every time I get to this point, her health is nearly gone, and NO ENEMIES in sight. She doesn't scream to spawn more, and I had already killed the Cursed Thralls that spawn before the next wave of Hive. I'm a Warlock that's 32 with self-revive (still recharging from last revive), and this guy always spawns. In Heroic, I've never seen him spawn there. Any experiences like this for anyone else?
-Enemies are STUBBORN AS HELL:
This game is fun. There is a challenge at every corner, enemies are tough, and PvP let's our competitive side take over. Only problem? The enemies in PvE REALLY (x100) don't like you very much. Their solution? Hide until you come within 5 feet of them where they screw you over the head, resulting in the usual controller ending up out the window. I like it when they send the ones to chase after you until you are dead (The Pit in CE Raid is a great example). The problem with the boss fight, they send out all the enemies, the toughest ones hide in the back and sit there bombing you while the single shot enemies come pouring out at you. Can the enemies be a bit more, oh.... I don't know..... MORE INTERACTIVE WITH THE PLAYER!? I'd rather get chased down and be the one doing hiding instead of them doing it. I mean, it makes sense. 1v100. The 100 have the advantage, making you figure out how to take them down. Seems like a simple concept that is never implemented in these games these days.
-Optional Matchmaking (for struggling players/those that need a set fireteam):
With the Prison of Elders coming out and Trials of Osiris, Bungie has yet again come up with another STUPID way to find players... Making us do the work. I have found SO MANY friends that I play with on CoD because they have OPTIONAL matchmaking for zombies, party games, etc. Destiny does NOT have any of these, EXCEPT for the Heroic Strikes. With Nightfall, they should give us an option to allow us to go in solo or with a random fireteam. I've struggled enough by myself, so I'd like to meet/make new friends along the way with matchmaking. I've met a couple friends from doing Heroic strikes, but that's all they do. They never do the Nightfall. So bring out an optional matchmaking. People make friends easier if they're PLAYING with them, not going on these stupid forums/groups/clans/etc. to find players. So many people here are so stubborn.
Anything else that you think should be implemented? I didn't mean to make this a rant. Just some ideas that could be thrown around/bugs that need a look at. Or should they just get rid of this strike all together? Let us know!
