Good day, I have run into an issue during the Warden of Nothing Nightfall that I find highly aggravating.
It effects other Nightfalls as well, but I have been stung by this one multiple times today and need to vent.
The issue can be summed up in two words: Despawning Champions.
During the mine phase I have been pounding on a champion multiple times, only to see it despawn in front of me and we loose Platinum.
Sometimes I do not even see one of the champions before the mines are defused.
Highly aggravating, especially when I am trying to get the Platinum rewards when farming a Nightfall weapon.
I have two suggestions to rectify the issue.
1. Champions do not despawn.
This can help, but there are also cases where players will get dragged after their teammates while they are working on a champion and the jerk lives. Which leads me to my second suggestion.
2. A despawning Champion counts as a kill and counts towards Platnum.
I know I will get some kickback on this one, but I feel it is the only fair solution to the issue.
I have lost count of the number of times I have lost Platinum because I was dragged after my fireteam while I was trying to kill a Champion. It is highly aggravating.
Submitted for consideration.

... and now we have the final slap in the face from Bungie. Double rewards from the Nightfall this week. I did over 20 Hero Nightfalls last week and ignored the Gambit bonus so I could get the Wendigo GL3 with a roll I liked. I only had it drop once. To say that I am a little salty is an understatement.

5 RepliesAnyone else not getting many Wendigo drops from NF's? I've received 3 exotics as rewards this week but out of at least 25 runs have only got 1 Wendigo!
-
6 RepliesYeah. And the drops are pathetic. We all know it at this point, Bungie as well. Our playtime is not rewarded at all. It's a joke at this point. Exotics drop much more than the nightfall weapons, prisms too. Everything is far more frequent, even it shouldn't be. Even platinum is worthless many times on master difficulty. Other difficulties are pointless basically.

1 ReplyI'm not even bothering with regular NFs anymore. If I put in the work for a weapon, you get a guaranteed Adept from the GM. I can't remember if you have to kill all the champs though. Seems like last season we didn't in The Glassway, but I'm not sure.

1 ReplyIf your platinum is loose, just tighten it up a bit.

Bungo reads the post There’s nothing wrong with Eververse, 🤷♂️

2 Replies3. The boss needs more health.

3 RepliesI would like to add that it’s not fair for us that have barely played nightfalls. Why should we have the same difficulty as someone who has practiced and gotten good at nightfalls? I think those who struggle at nightfalls should have a separate option that allows for us to have no negative power on GMs and have all champions removed. Additionally there should be no timer and unlimited reviews. This is the only fair way for players like me who have barely played nightfalls able to do them. I’ve paid for the content I deserve all items as a participation reward.

3 RepliesThey DeShawn when you finish capping the 3rd plate. Just like if you skip ahead in any other nightfall to a new region the champions DeShawn. It's not exclusive to Warden.
-
4 RepliesPlatinum doesn't actually change the rewards. If you hit Gold and get one exotic as a reward, you don't get anything more than that for hitting Platinum instead you will still get an exotic either way. The only way Platinum would be useful is if it meant double rewards, which it doesn't. Also. If you want to kill all the champs, run Legend or Higher with a team. Don't run Hero then cry that the randoms don't know what you want by magically reading your mind somehow. If you don't audibly say "let's kill this champ first before defusing the last mine", then how would they know? They probably are speed running it since, again, you don't get extra rewards for plat.
-
The Overload during Master during the mines can despawn and give you platinum if you kill the Barrier and Unstoppable. Works well in a team and Solo
-
Platinum completion, hero mode. Reward, an EC and some glimmer.
-
You can miss one champion at that part and it should still give platinum.
-
2 RepliesIf you tag them, it should count when they despawn. That's how its been for me in past gms but idk

Edited by aCtLyK3UkNoW: 1/15/2023 2:36:55 PMBefore you cap the first plate go to the right door and team wipe the barrier and then handle the unstoppable that spawns down the hallway. Once done then go cap A. Problem solved. Your welcome

14 RepliesIt does count. All you have to do it touch the overload and it counts, even if it despawns

If you are going play with randoms be prepared to play a lot for a week in hopes of getting the NF weapon drop. A lot players, regardless of light, will rush through in hopes of beating the boss in 15 minute or less. Champions will get missed - like the Unstoppable in Tunnels or the Champion in the Corrupted's Ogre Room. Many don't realize that they can get the 100k and a pinnacle gear drop if they just wait a bit and kill spawning ads before killing the mini bosses and the Main boss. Warden has two mini bosses with the chance of spawning ads and the last boss has other ads that spawn but everybody just melts the servitor. I lucked out and got Wendigo because my team of randoms were not trying to kill the boss ASAP and hunted Champions and ads.

You have to work around blueberries who either don't know or care about the champs, Bungie puts champs in situations where they can be missed or despawned seemingly to punish matchmade teams Learn the spawns and insta kill them , force people to get platinum whether they want it or not -
Sadly you’re best bet for now is to focus on killing the champions quickly yourself. Beyond that Gm go live next week so you’re better off farming that anyway. Takes a bit longer but it’s guaranteed adept rolls. Happy hunting

I'm guessing you mean the unstoppable, barrier comes out with the vex, unstop comes out of the next door near B flag, it despawns when the flags are capped. It's not hard, they spawn in the same place each time, prioritize the champs & ignore the flags if you're playing with morons, make sure YOU are running unstop mod, stun it n kill it in 2 secs.
