Bungie please stop giving us extremely long Seasonal Challenges to kill enemy types that are near non existant in Vanguard Playlists.
Organized by what the primary enemy race is per strike we have 1 Cabal (Arms Dealer), Taken (Lake of Shadows), 1 half Hive one half Scorn (Lightblade), 1 Scorn (Vile), one Fallen with some Vex at the end (Glassway), 1 Taken with a tiny amount of Vex (Hypernet Current), 2 Fallen (Devils Lair and SABER), 2 Hive (Disgraced and Scarlet Keep), 1 Hive and Taken (Liminality), 1 Fallen with some Vex (Exodus Crash), 1 Cabal with some Vex (Insight Terminus), another Cabal with a tiny amount of Vex (Inverted Spire), ANOTHER Cabal strike (Proving Ground), 1 Taken (The Corrupted), 1 with some vex and cabal (Warden of Nothing), and a bunch of random Battlegrounds that dont matter.
THERE IS 1 PURE SCORN STRIKE AND 3 CHALLENGES TO GET A TON OF KILLS AGAINST SCORN WITH VOID, ARC, AND STASIS. And kills in the normal versions of the stike do. not. work.
Please stop giving us these long tedious challenges to kill enemy types in stikes that barely exist. Thank you

Watch them double down on that since it pads the most amount of time with zero efforts for "content"

Corrupted next week. Load in solo to legend & then sparrow to the blind well, scorn for days. Repeat for each burn you need

Better bring a sword for those hive next episode

What they really need to do is either: A: Change the conditions of the challenges so that it is a generic enemies kill task with bonus progress given to scorn. B: Somehow implement a voting system to let people choose the next strike so that if people are needing that, they can just vote for the appropriate strike to get their progress. Same goes for Gambit. C:Just let people load into specific strikes to get it done But since B seems very unlikely and C would be seen as taking away from their precious ritual playlists, A is the more likely answer. Cause making people load, exit and reload a mode just to find the right strikes to get a task done is just poor game design imo. Mean sure people say just play 'x' strike when it comes up as the nightfall on 'y' week but don't think that's really getting to the root of the issue and is more of a bandaid solution.

These are annoying since 95% of the time you are on Nessus and just Nessus. l ended up doing the solo search trick but l had to quit so many strikes until l got The Corrupted or the Throneworld

If all else fails, I think next week's Nightfall is The Corrupted. There are some Scorn at the beginning. You could go into solo Expert Mode: kill all the Scorn, fly into orbit and then restart the NF. Birth Place Of The Vile would've been excellent. The other option is Gambit and hope you get the Dreaming City Map or that Ocean Map

Edited by cryptic_king_241: 1/23/2025 9:02:24 AMNext week is the corrupted NF. Load in on expert and farm the bay of drowned wishes LS. Also if the strand PE shows up, do it. Forget the LS, I got 70% from one of those non-heroic ones.

It's a mechanic, not a flaw. People keep playing hoping it comes up thereby boosting their player numbers. Next season you'll find you have the same complaint about whatever that season's enemy species turns out to be. So, that said, just do what I do - don't chase the seasonal challenges and be pleasantly surprised when you stumble upon them while doing the thing Bungle doesn't want you to do: having fun!

Or you can assemble a fireteam that are after the same goal keep launching strikes until you get the corrupted strike and instead of going through the mission travel to divalian mists. Then it's just a matter of farming bay of drowned wishes lost sector.
