Nightfall Time limit
Personally I used to love to do the weekly Nightfall solo. It was fun to spend hours grinding for the right gear and planning the solo strategy each week. But the new time limit has turned this challenging rewarding solo task into one of near impossibility for the average player. What do you all think? (please no snarky comments)

Our fire team hates it. We have tried the D2 NF several times and find that the time limit has turned it into a relay race rather than something that we can strategize. Fifteen year old kids might like this; I have played with a number of them that seem to love racing though strikes, nightfall and raids; but our group likes to be a bit more completionist about it. We find that we are forced to be more focused on the clock and less focused on the NPCs. Add to that the sponginess of many of the NPCs and we really don't enjoy the experience. If there is a market for having the clock on the NF then make it an option that players can set when they select the nightfall. eg. Nightfall: Timed, Nightfall: Not Timed. Or make is a modifier that is on some weeks but not other. The shitty part is that some of the best gear drops from the nightfall so essentially, Bungie has locked many players from the higher level gear. That is the consensus from our fireteam. Ambassador_Crax, Jon_Wold and me.

i dunno about you guys but this weeks nf is really really painful. i've tried it with 2 different fire teams all 295 plus and we just can't seem to nuke the boss in time. too many op bullet sponges along the way. even with MAX TIME LIMIT REACHED we couldn't complete. now to clarify i love destiny, been playing since D1 on day one. i hope bungie makes some sort of tweak. i feel like this weeks nf could have done with the Torrent modifier again xD but yea in general bf's with a time limit is not my fav thing anymore. i still try grind it out but it's not a great feeling when it literally feels like you CANNOT win.

1 ReplyI thought it was interesting the first time. A little extra thing to watch to make it feel exciting. I'm tired of it now. It's just an extra piece of busywork to do during the nightfall -- irrelevant side tasks because, like the raid, you gotta have pointless dance steps. The only logical Timewarp modifier is Zero Hour: you have a mission to complete, and it needs to be done by X time. Miss that time, you fail, people die, the universe breaks in half, whatever. So yeah, I wouldn't cry if they removed it, or feel like they're watering down the game. The time limit has not prevented me from completing any nightfalls, it just made them into chores. Unfortunately, I figure it's just the way things are now. I doubt it's going anywhere.

I quite like it tbh. Timer makes for urgency if you work together its doable. The normal strikes are very easy. I wouldnt mind if some nightfall only gear and raid only gear was added. As long as its not too op.

TBH nothing in this game is "fun." Pve content is boring. Pvp has its slim moments of fun but it's mostly bad. I ran the raid for the first time the other night and I don't care if I do another one. I used to be that person that did all activities each week especially year 1 destiny. Now I'm thinking about returning my copy for store credit at GameStop. If not I can find a use for the disc, maybe use it as a drink coaster.

1 ReplyThe Nightfall was never intended to be run Solo. It's an End-Game Activity designed for a 3-person Fireteam that requires strategic planning and timely execution. Bungie has finally found a reliable mechanic (whether it's well-liked or not) that actually works to motivate players to progress with intent, instead of just hanging back and picking off targets well outside their opponent's weapon range. You don't have to agree with the timer, but you can't deny that it made Nightfalls more challenging and required ACTUAL participation from all the members of a full Fireteam.

Mad cuz bad

5 RepliesIt's not a solo activity anymore, it was never supposed to be in D1. There was no strategy to solo in D1, sit back a snipe enemies isn't really difficult.

5 Replies"Is anyone at the Nightfall boss yet? I just want to sniper cheese it" <-- That was Destiny 1 nightfall in a nutshell.

A shooter game that makes me want to not shoot and run by as many enemies as possible. Seems like a perfectly logical answer. This weeks NF is a bit more challenging but the rest are: run past 50% of the enemies to beat the American Ninja Warrior Clock. Just need a red buzzer at the end and I am good!

4 RepliesLove it.. If it's to much don't do it. you're playing for high lvl gear, it's not suppose to be an easy ride. Everybody always looking for cheese..

8 RepliesNightfall is not meant to be fun, it's an endgame challenge, play normal strikes if this is too hard for you
-
4 RepliesTried it, don't like it and definitely not doing it again. The only thing that I did was run past everything and tried to keep up with the player in front. I don't understand what is so fun about running or using your sparrow to pass everything. Why not just make the nightfall just a boss fight instead??

2 RepliesI remember doing them D1Y1, even though it was hard I thought it was fun as hell. My first one was Omnigul with arc burn and -blam!- it was hard, but I completed the quest line for pocket infinity in the process. After that I tried it with Nexus, couldn't complete it with my hunter though. Since then I tried it every chance I got, of course it didn't always but figuring it out was the other fun part. I didn't mind the timers in D1 because even if I failed I can still complete it. It just sucks since its no longer the case, they probably changed it for that fact. Basically anything meant for more than 1 would be ridiculous to try, but hey in some ways public events would be more rewarding anyway.

4 RepliesThis was done to prevent people from using the nightfall to farm other areas. If you started the nightfall in D1, you could go farm areas using the Nightfall burns/damage buff. Now with the timer, it stops your activity and prevents you from going to other areas to farm. I know this because this was a way to farm. The "Cheesing" bs other people use as a reason to have a time is irrelevant.
