That was an enjoyable (casual player) solo Exotic mission
Like I said above, the mission was fun to play solo.
Overall, difficulty wasn't bad. I didn't have to worry about finding hidy holes to avoid being one shot throughout.
Jump puzzles didn't require testing routes for a half hour to find the right way.
The final boss had cool mechanics, but you didn't need 3 people chatting up mics doing different tasks to complete.
Last but definitely not least, no damn TIMER!!!! I could mess around and go look at stuff
-
Check points would be nice

1 ReplyIts cool to have something where you can go in blind and don't have to look at videos every now and then. And the gun is really good.
-
28 RepliesEveryone claiming they breezed through it with no issues, quickly, etc and didn't watch a "how to" video first is lying.
-
31 RepliesUh wrong. Actually bungie has taken a hostile toxic stance towards solo players and actually sends solo players death threats every single day because bungie hates solo players more than anything in the whole world. This isn't a solo mission.
-
25 RepliesWell, I just watched the Kackis version, and I'm not going to do that Hamster Wheel. Congrats to those who can solo it. I couldn't. Even with a team (as Kackis has) it's a mini Raid, and we all know that a small percentage of players complete Raids. IF -- IF -- completion of this mission is necessary for advancing through the game, well, Minecraft beckons.
-
Yep. The no timer part was a massive W. I got to enjoy the sandbox

Edited by EasilyEnraged: 8/28/2024 7:42:57 PMAgreed. It was a good time. Oh, and damn right about not having a timer. That is the cheesiest way to make a mission "hard."
-
I am also glad that there was no timer. This was an excellent exotic mission.
-
Got an upvote because NO TIMER! But this jumping puzzle crap is getting really old. If I want to play a platformer I'd dig out my old N64 and play Mario.

1 ReplySounds encouraging... Cheers ... Might try it later this week.. Congratulations on a positive post, alas there are not SO many these days... Bungie got something right for once... wow.. astounded, amazed.

1 ReplySounds like you’re not a fan of Dual Destiny.

6 Repliesyou weren't around to do stuff like the ace of spades, thorn, etc before the content vaulting like I won't complain about exotic missions being arduous for normal people to solo, but encore isn't even in FTF. bungie has never done anything like this before so my only options are to either to come back with an optimized, quad 100 stat build (given that's even possible without weeks of grinding), or use the legacy fireteam finder, which only like 5 people use on average, and hope 2 of em join up

1 Replywait till you try expert mode solo for the catalyst. The tormentor room is stupid op. Wiped a few times and gave up. No place to hide to recover get swarmed with cabal and constant tormentor harassment.
-
1 Replywhy is casual player part of the title? but yeah a super fun mission
-
I'm not sure how running a solo mission with no direction and no information is fun. I play a looter shooter to loot and shoot not -blam!- around with puzzles. With no idea how long the mission might be or where to go you flail about solo for who knows how long trying to find your way. Maybe once I know the route it might be something interesting but, first impressions.. worst dungeon or exotic mission I have played from bungie yet.
-
6 RepliesToo long, too boring, boss is bugged. In other words, typical crap from Bungle.
-
21 RepliesOnce again flooding the final room with so many enemies you force your solo player to look for a group to complete it. Turning into a NOT fun game!
-
I've spent about 4 hours trying to complete it on 2 different days. Both times the boss would eventually be unkillable. No mobs spawned, nothing to shoot at. Same thing on the other run. So I'm not going to do this again.
-
10 RepliesI found it irritating and annoying. It was long and boring. It was really mechanic heavy and a lot of jumping. What happened to Destiny? I want to shoot and use my supers. The overall vibe of the mission was one note - bland. The boss glitched on me so I wan't able to finish it. No checkpoint, so I won't be attempting it again. Just poorly thought out and designed. Maybe not thought out at all?
-
3 RepliesHaving no timer was great! With no pressure to hurry up, it was pretty easy to do solo for this old man, and it was kind of fun having time to explore a bit in the process. I'm curious for those having the boss bug out on them if they are re-activating the platform that has the node to interact with. You have to do it multiple times during the fight but you also have to steal the buff back to use elsewhere so if you don't re-activate the correct island you can't progress forward. That confused me for a bit as I was curious why the boss seemed stuck until I figured it out. If it is truly bugged, that was a fairly long mission, and without checkpoints, I can certainly understand the frustration.

I'm helping all the solo players that don't want to do the mission, run the mission. Either add me in game and I'll invite, type `/join Yoshi32123#2320` in the command window in-game (might be full), or join this server to queue in. My friend and I will be in voice while running it, but you don't need to be: https://discord.gg/6nxpUHUa5W Come get it done, ezpz

I had fun with it, definitely solo friendly, no time constraints, checkpoints on the bosses if you die. I did do it solo.

38 RepliesEdited by FloodZ: 8/28/2024 12:24:13 AM2/10 for me. Main problem: NO CHECKPOINTS. I'm sure I'm going to get piled on because I'm a filthy casual, but making this long-assed exotic quest the first step in the season is just tone deaf again. I just don't have that kind of uninterrupted time; what would be so bad about me running a section at a time and coming back to a checkpoint when I have a few more moments to spare? Instead I have to schedule for the first step in the story quest like it's a damned raid or dungeon. I didn't mind doing Presage because it was optional; I had the story to run until I could get it done. But Bungie once again has decided that long sweat-fests are core gameplay and you [b]will [/b]play their way or not at all. Finally had to quit after failing the final boss a few times (yay another roomful of constantly respawning ads!) because I have a life and ran out of time.

I feel alone when I say I was bored to tears with it. Didn't really hit any bugs or anything. Not sure what the bugs were. Just saw some vex and cabal.
-
I thought it was fun, except for all the damn bugs.
