In the Fall “pay wall dlc” players who cant do Raids or wont go in to the cheaters playground aka Trials, will NEVER get anywhere near max level. Players who are solo or in small groups WILL stand out and be excluded because the light level that REPRESENTS them as a player will all ways for the whole fall “pay wall dlc” show them as a lesser player because its impossible to teach max light level. Bungie is going back to supporting the Elitist mindset and spitting on the vast majority of PVE players. Now players will be in the form of a Lesser player thanks to Bungies fall dlc update.

There needs to be more meaningful endgame for solo players. I understand Destiny is a social game built around fireteams, but not everyone enjoy or are comfortable playing with others. It's okay to have Trials, Raids, etc for teams to do at endgame, but there should be some kind of challenging endgame for players who run solo. I think a solo Nightfall variant would be awesome. Tune it specifically for a real solo challenge and give it a unique loot pool. Meaningful solo endgame is something else I got to discuss with some devs at the summit and hopefully something we see more of down the road.

So many other bigger MMOs have a solo road for players while keeping the group road as well, but Bungie wants to force group content in hopes that the day will come when they can scrap making story content and focus on one raid and 20 PvP maps and modes.

Im getting pissed now, I literally said this a few times!!! where the hell were you guys!!!? Is it the name!!!!? What?!!!! What do I have to take silver out of your accounts to get attention!!!? ):( [spoiler]Bump, I love this (original idea of mines). ):)[/spoiler]

Where are all of the devs or CM's to read these golden posts!?

Something I replied to another thread. While not exclusively solo, the idea caters to both worlds: [spoiler]Personally I would like to see each planet having an additional separate map that is instanced to 1-6 people. Challenge would naturally be higher. Players going there could set the session open or closed so randoms could hop in at any point if there are open sessions. Closed sessions would be invite only. Each would play out as a mini-campaign. You would have your usual map with usual mission markers that would start scenarios you would possibly play in order and each time difficulty would crank up a bit and things could change depending how the players fare. Ideally there could be more than one way to complete the map in order to increase replay value. Titan being my favourite I had this small idea I will probably have to play out as a tactical tabletop RPG instead of Destiny but here it goes: The rig is in need of crucial supplies which can be only found from a far away rig. Players set out on a ship and this is the first mission where players defend the ship and assume different defensive roles. AA guns, depth charges, torpedoes, killing boarders so others can do their tasks, preventing saboteurs. Each time different things would happen in variable order. After that it would turn into Space Hulk(mission design cues from here) and Aliens 2 influenced dark claustrophobia where players desperately seek for what they came for. Narrow corridors and cramped larger areas. Short range combat. Ending could be anything from blowing up the rig, clearing the rig the old fashioned way or just pulling a narrow escape with the things you came for. Before the ending players will fly from one part of the rig to another with the possibility of some airborne combat, explore sunken areas and perhaps evade(or even fight)some gigantic terror from the deep. Find survivors you can choose to rescue or not. Local contained story with variable paths. All action. Sure it would be design heavy but I would sure play it. Allow replay of each unlocked mission. Sprinkle in some optional bosses for extra fun and of course uniquely themed loot to boot.[/spoiler]

For those using the "it's a multiplayer game" argument. (I'm not saying OP's idea is good or bad, just some food for thought.) 1. Destiny was origanally marketed as having things to do for solo players and in doing so attracted a lot of solo players to the franchise. 2. Bungie has made moves towards better supporting solo players, both in the past and recently, this sort of thing [i]is[/i] on their radar. 3. Just because it's a multiplayer game that doesn't mean it can't support solo play styles.

Absolutely zero reason for the lack of optional matchmaking for nightfalls.....ZERO! (Capitals make it OFFICIAL!)

I would love it, and yes regardless of what everyone says it is a solo game... a solo game that allows you to play with other people.....

In my opinion a good idea would be to allow nightfall matchmaking. This is what Bungie should have done to begin with rather than the whole convoluted guided games system. If they initially launch nightfall matchmaking and observe it's progress, they can then use the learnings and apply it toward a launch of a raid matchmaking system. There is absolutely no reason why a lfg site would work for 3+ years and in game matchmaking would be a failure.

Yeah, please release a solo destiny game so that all those people unfit for pvp can go and play that
