A Message to Dee J.
I am a level 28 titan with no friends to aid me in my weekly Strike adventures. I have constantly found the encounters difficult but possible. However, i recently attempted the the Phogoth weekly alone on level 22 and was unable to beat the first checkpoint. On encountering Phogoth other times i made it to his lair but recently i have been unable to decode the runes to enter the hive dwellings that awaits before Phogoth.
This can be seen as a problem for someone who has no friends that can complete the raid or weekly strike with me.
I am forced to wait for an update to fix this or rely purely on decoding engrams to earn strange coins.
I would advise you to attempt this weeks strike alone and determine whether this update to strikes have aided the solo experience of the strikes and whether they have even become possible for anyone who attempts to solo.
After ragequitting from this experience i turned to the daily mission. I completed this on 28 with 0 deaths yet still finding my 2 ascendant shards were hard earned.
Dee J please review this comment with an unbiased heart as i am only looking to improve Destiny for all.

I am glad to see that with a new update that this difficulty has been decreased to generate a challenging yet possible weekly heroic strike.

DestinyLFG.com makes it pretty darn easy to find mates for a quick weekly on 28 or the nightfall, or even the raid for that matter.

I just did the daily today and it was.... very easy... the problem destiny is faceing is the community... you cant make everyone happy! WTF did you guys do before they could do in game updates and changes? Oh yeah i remember, you STFU and enjoyed playing the game they made. Now everyone thinks they know how to do it better yet none of you are even employed in the field. If they say they realize there is a problem and working to fix it, what more can you ask for? Oh you want it done now.. because your opinion is the sole opinion of every destiny player. I have my IB gear on my warlock.. but guess what i hate the fact there are going to be more 29s and 30s running around because of IB... tried a hardmode raid today and we wiped 3 times on orcles... i thought that was impossible, but because everyone is on here crying how difficult the game is most people are becoming level 30 and arent ready to do level 30 things because they didnt put in the same work we did. I for one am looking forward to harder more team based raids and its not meant to be easy.. . Stop ruining a game because you think its too hard and you deserve to have it be as easy as possible.

I encountered this same scenario last night, but was eventually able to make it to the Pit itself. Once in the Pit, I didn't last long, and had to give up, as it was quickly apparent I would never make it. This Level 22 strike felt a LOT like the Epic Level 26 strike to kill Xyor, the Unwed for the Thorn bounty; the only difference is the Hallowed Knights don't have arc shields. I can't get past the rune decoding on that strike; my legendary arc weapons are toothless at (267 attack power).

Here's something that might help you in your solo battle. (:

That's a great video (seriously). Problem is, it was recorded in October. If the same Strike was run today, I think the result would be somewhat different. Remember, the last update made it easier for full fire teams, and HARDER for solo players. That's the gripe I have with Bungie, that they've geared the game to be played with groups, but have not provided the mechanism to actually find or join groups.

On a side note, you can go to the forums and find a group. I'm not saying that that particular option has to be the only one, I'm just saying it is available is all.
