How anyone can be against making the game less punishing for people playing solo is beyond me. There are absolutely zero drawbacks to instituting a system that would encourage a lot of the people that have quit to come back.

In fact quite the opposite. The larger the player base, the better and healthier the game.
-
Isn't that what I said???
-
Not contradicting you, but seconding. Now if we can get about 10,000 more people to agree, Bungie might take notice.
-
Oh. My fault!
-
No problem. It's pretty easy to get defensive on this site with an abundance of trolls. No need here though. ;-)
-
An even more fragmented playerbase? Next thing you know solo players will want people with kd’s > 2 to have a seperate playlist...
-
Half the people that play PvP have such inflated fake ass stats that I don't fear anyone that has kd's >2. Especially if they are not on a premade team.
-
Still you’ll get a fragmented player base, seperating solo’s from premade teams.
-
I'm not talking about separtaing them. I'm talking about the fact that matchmaking works in such a way as to make playing solo worse than it has to be. Especially in comp, which has gotten better, its the way matchmaking treats solo players over time not the fact that they ever have to play teams.
-
So, you want Bungie to cater to solo players in a teambased game? Right... how about you find a team instead of crying on the forums? I’m a soloplayer, you don’t hear me -blam!- about how matchmaking treats solo players.

Edited by A_mo: 5/29/2019 4:25:38 PMWow you people are ridiculous. Do you just cut and paste this silly "cater to solo players" and "crying in the forums" drivel that you constantly vomit all over the place on here? Its not that hard to understand. The game could have been made so that playing solo didn't have to be as bad as it is. Its just that simple and it would have contributed to a larger playerbase and healthier overall environment in PvP. When the game does things like putting two three stacks against a full team of solos its just not a good idea. When the game does things like putting people in games that are already over its just not a good idea. 3v4s in comp... bad idea. Just let matchmaking take longer. On top of all those relatively minor things that I just mentioned matchmaking has other flaws that you can only really understand after you've played a ton of matches. I've played almost 10,000 on the same account, which by the way is another factor that can lock you in to having a certain experience with the matchmaking system. All I'm doing is trying to give suggestions on how the game could be better and how the dwindling player count could have been avoided. While you seem more interested in blowing smoke up your own ass and giving yourself compliments on the internet.

Go find a team, or go play Super Mario. That’s a solo game. This is a co-op shooter. Is that too hard to understand for you? All this whining about more catering to solo players, who mostly are freaking casuals, made this game the flaming shitpile it is now. Waaah waaah, I can’t do a raid solo. Whaaa whaaa, I can’t do the shattered throne solo. Whaa whaaa, I can’t go into quickplay without getting steamrolled once in a while. Whaaa whaa, I want everything on a silver platter, like the entitled little -blam!- I am. Ffs these morons on the forum man...

I had porkchops for lunch.

Main drawback is bungie wasting dev time and resources to make “solo” content for an online co op multiplayer game. Destiny is not for solo players and nvr will be.
-
[quote]Destiny is not for solo players and nvr will be.[/quote] This is probably true.
-
I want the game to be even harder than it is now, right now everything IS A JOKE end game wise, all its easy I hope the next reset we will get really challenging content
-
Go play Sekiru (not sure about the spelling) if you want a incredibly hard game. Destiny has always meant to be fun more than anything.
-
Sekiro isnt a hard game. When youve mastered your first Souls games, all other Souls Bourne games are practically the same.
-
I'm hoping the new 6 man activity will strike a nice balance between challenging and doable. Without having to resort to things like boss stomps.
-
People dont have a problem with fixing systems like match making, people have a problem with a select group demanding that solo end game content be made, because due to living in a reality where resources are limited, it would mean cutting into or cutting out other activities. This is a multiplayer game, so it makes perfect sense that basically all of its end game content is multiplayer focused, and so requires some kind of team or playing with others.
-
I've never seen a single post asking for solo only endgame. Let's keep this based in reality and the reality is that more players log in solo than in groups with friends.
-
One of the posts above yours, one you even replied to asked for that very thing. They specifically asked for solo end game content. So I am very much withing reality thank you very much.
-
I wasn't talking so much about solo only endgame content. I was more referencing things like in Crucible where the matchmaking simply doesn't have to be as bad as it is sometimes. Things like putting two three stacks against a team of solos in quickplay should almost never happen. It also wouldn't hurt to have more solo endgame activities though. Because for the most part anything that you can do solo you can also do with a team but it doesn't work the other way around. And a lot of the things that require you to have a premade fireteam, like raids, are actually some of the least played parts of the game. The new 6 man mathcmade activity looks pretty interesting though and the good thing about it is that it has matchmaking. I think thats what most people mean when they talk about being able to play solo. They don't want to be locked out of content because their whole clan is left and lfg is pretty terrible a lot of the time.

The issue with solo focused content is that while everyone can technically do it, it doesn't mean that, that is the kind of content meant for the game, nor does it mean it will be very good. At its core, destiny is a multiplayer game, so having solo end game content really doesn't make much sense. As for match making, it is hard to say how that would turn out for something like a raid. So long as it is optional I don't fully have an issue with it, but some have made good points about the potential backlash from it. Mainly it wouldn't actually solve any issues, the only people to use it would likely be those that can't seem to complete it, don't want to use mics, ect. Mainly the same people left out of LFG right now. Many of these same people would likely end up back on the forums complaining that it is almost impossibly to do for a match made team, or that they never get good teammates, ect. Then we are either left to ignore these same people complaints once again or try and do things like dumb down the raids so they are far less of a challenge. Which many could argue does negatively effect others. To be honest I would say the better option would be to just improve on what we already have. Mainly the guided games system. It is a perfectly legitimate idea for a system, it just isn't excited well. Mainly it doesn't have much of an incentive for people to be guides, and it's match making system could do with some work (like language options, to many people get put with someone that speaks a different language). This could solve a lot of the problems while not being a full match making system with less of the potential issues that come from it.

Did you read the op? I'm gonna guess no since you keep bringing up this imaginary request for solo only endgame.
