1st let me say that I understand nightfall strikes are intended to be a highly difficult 3 man event. That being said, I think this last round of strike balancing was a bit of an overkill.
As a person who only runs solo, I used to enjoy attempting nightfalls when they had a burn modifier. I wouldn't always make it to the end, but I found the slow crawl through the strike to be allot of fun.
Unfortunately, after this last patch I can hardly takedown a single shielded elite heavy. Pumping every round I have in all of my weapons to take down 1 guy is ridiculous. The rate at which they absorb rounds is OBSCENE.
Your patch notes said you rebalanced the strike so that running with a team would be more of a benefit instead if a burden. I completely respect that. It also said that running solo would be more challenging, which is completely understandable.
I don't mind a challenge. I don't even mind failing because I got overwhelmed, but this... this is crazy! This isn't a challenge, this is a cruel joke.
I accept that I'll never get to run a raid. I also accept that I won't be able to participate in 90% of your "special events". I even accept that I have to get used to abandoning exotic bounties and forgo their rewards.
But relegating solo players to only dailies and patrols is just plain mean. I really was enjoying myself for awhile. Even with the LIMITED amount of content I had access to, I had hope that you would open up more at some point. Instead, I have even less content to participate in now than I did when the game launched.
*(imo) The Nightfall was the solo player's equivalent of a Raid. Because it was the only "end game" content we had with decent rewards.* With so much empty space and underutilized areas already in the game, I would have expected you add more things to do before you started gateing even more content behind a wall of griefers and asshats.
I'm very disappointed with this turn of events. I can only hope this isn't indicative of your future plans, because for a little while I was really enjoying myself.
