Some of you will have done exactly what I did, given this mission is available as a solo activity and no matchmaking is available for the mission, and that is to jump into the portal.
Once inside you will find out, upon dying, that you have to restart the entire encounter from scratch. The entire encounter being reset! I don't mind getting put back a bit but, I made it to the thin platforms room, fell off one of the platforms after clearing the ads only to find myself right back at the start of the area on the high platform with the stairs and every bit of progress wiped.
While the mission is cool. This is an absolutely ridiculous thing to do. The door opening should have been a checkpoint. The clearing of the ads in the platforms should have been a checkpoint etc. etc. To wipe all progress while for a solo player is literally like Bungie just saying F- U.
Before anyone jumps in and says that it's supposed to be hard. Yes hard is fine but, this is ridiculous. It's not a nightfall with extinguish set! It's a mission that you are supposed to be able to do solo! Unless you power level to 600 and have Destiny as a full time job like a streamer. This mission is 100% not do-able as a solo. One mistake wipes all progress!
Edit: Do people really not understand the word solo?
Edit 2: For those lying about checkpoints (or genuinely not understanding what a checkpoint is) .Go watch your favorite streamers trying to solo at 580 and above. They are swearing like troopers at the LACK OF CHECKPOINTS!

Maybe that is because the dungeon is for pre made teams just like the raid? Except maybe the dungeon doesn’t have a wipe timer so you can take as long as you want? That might explain why there’s a LFG section if you want to go through it solo? Or perhaps you should consider joining a clan? That’s pretty much how endgame has always been and guess what? Dungeon is going to be part of the endgame. Either LFG or take your time.
