Season of the UNworthy for the single player
I am not trying to do the bunker foolishness any further.
I am an older gamer and a good player. However, most of the time I HAVE to play as a single player.
Over time, this game has degraded the single player experience.
This current season system of "shake and bake" is old and now redundant.
The best formula for this "shake and bake" system was still its first iteration involving the Menagerie.
Now we, as a single player, have to clear bunkers daily or worse by features that clear it for us while also trying to rank up the bunkers as a whole.
The weapon bounties are a grind of time which most players working DO NOT have in their day to day lives. The design of the game is ONLY to satisfy YouTubers and hardcore players but not the everyday player. The subsequent seasons AFTER Menagerie could have been designed to make all activities matchmade. I will give an ok if negotiations need to be the MASTER or soon to be GRANDMASTER stuff be not matchmade. LFG, be real, has too many players DICTATING you have to have this or that.
I am 1010 power level and cannot get past the first master loot cave on my own. Yet matchmake me in other activities and I am fine. Matchmade success is with COMPLETE randoms.
I sense a fear on the delivery of product to the player community. Yet I know Bungie easily has the talent internally alone to make an even greater experience. Menagerie in my opinion set the right bar, but the subsequent releases after Menagerie continue to consistently lower it. Season of Dawn was Season of Yawn and now Season of the Worthy is the Season of the UNworthy for the single player experience.
YOU CAN DO BETTER BUNGIE. DO NOT FORGET MANY PLAYERS HAVE TO PLAY SINGLE.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER SO GET TO IT,
No more excuses and or deadpan TWAB explaining flaws missed in QA testing like the debacle and tragedy in Trials rewards.
Thanks for your time.

24 commentairesIf you want a singleplayer game play a different game. They specifically advertised Destiny as multiplayer game which pushes players to create fireteams. If you want help with activities use the LFG on this app. Most people don't require mics for the majority of activities anyway.

Here's a good single player goal to work on: using the freelance playlist, reach legend rank in comp pvp. If this takes you many months and seasons, like it did me, then you will be entertained by playing destiny 2 (although there is a high chance you will also end up hating the game at times or permanently during this pvp grind, due to the soul crushing nature of comp pvp progression). Reaching legend felt like learning how to hunt high level monsters in Monster Hunter and feels like an actual achievement once completed. You essentially work on developing your skills instead of chasing hand out items. You don't really need certain weapons or gear for this, because you can make anything work with enough time and practice. I used old style armour with pre set bonuses and learned claw grip (console controller) and how to use high mobility effectively. I don't even have the expansion at this time, since I've just been working on pvp for the last few seasons. Imo the not forgotten is the best trophy to chase - everything else in the game is obtainable with enough time. But I feel like max comp is unique in how you need to learn how to get there and the perseverance required. It totally depends on what you want to do in the game though. Now I want to chase and complete weapon catalysts, so I'm doing that. I don't really care about running on a treadmill to chase the constant power increases. I like to collect and complete the unique stuff but that's just my preference at the moment.

I don’t understand I accidentally finished a legendary lost sector It’s -blam!- easy cuz there is no wipe problem

3 commentairesThis isn't really a single player game
-
Agree. Stuff like Raids and Trials have to be teambased, thats certain and good! But just this week there are all three champions in the ordeal. And I don't have Erianas Vow. I really enjoy soloing stuff like this but with a limited loadout like this?!??! Meh. Erianas really seems to be the key for solostuff atm. Stupid idea to lock such guns behind seasons.

Modifié par Sweet Lew 88 : 3/31/2020 8:37:24 PMDo you see any strategy guides? If you like to solo, usually guides are the key unless you are a better than average player. I can solo the daily bunker and legendary lost sectors solo at 1015. I just needed a overload sword and all was soloable. I'm 42 too.

Modifié par Wintermute 2050 : 3/31/2020 8:08:37 AMDon't waste your time on Bunkers and Lost Sectors. They are not worth the frustration. All you will get from them is more useless weapons. I have a vault loaded with this type of trash already, including the weapons from last season. I plan to dismantle most of this junk.

I've often thought, and indeed said, many times, that I'm convinced Bungie have absolutely NO IDEA how many people don't play their game specifically because of it's continued insistence on fireteam based activities. Now yes, much of the content (but not all) can arguably and technically be played and completed solo...but there's some pretty big caveats and hurdles to overcome to achieve that. Not making any judgements or speculations in regards to that...merely pointing out that for probably quite a large portion of the player base, doing some things in the game solo, might not be quite as easy as some elitist streamers and YouTube warriors might try to lead you to believe. Point is, I've lost count of the times people have said to me...'yea I won't play Destiny' for the very reason I outlined above. Still, that's their choice of direction. Personally, now we're a couple of weeks in, I'm able to solo the Legendary Lost Sectors now...but they're not fun or rewarding in ANY way, they're a chore to complete three times a week for the bounty. I don't know if that's what they intended or not, but, I can't help but think they've got something very wrong with this season if they did. Not only favouring fireteam based activities in a lot of the game, but now making MAIN seasonal event pve content quite a bit harder so that it doesn't suit a more casual player (of which there are many) is a bad idea no matter which way you look at it. Free to play games that rely on income from microtransactions and pass sales shouldn't be employing tactics that are likely to cause their players to walk away...and I think that, from what I've seen of this season, is exactly the likely result of what's been added so far. Hell, I'm bored of it and spending more time in other games already...and I've maxed two bunkers and can do the lost sectors...I can only imagine how tired of it people are that are still getting one-shot by vandals three weeks into the season.

5 commentairesIf you are looking for a good loot and shoot single player ive confirmed you can do everything in bl3 as a solo player.

3 commentairesModifié par GOAT Spartan : 3/29/2020 11:50:04 PMas someone who just returned to playing destiny after taking a break to take care of other priorities in life, i am beyond taken back at how much the grind has increased since my departure and return. on one hand its cool to see so much content, but on the other hand, its overwhelming and it takes way too long to complete. i think some slight tuning is needed to accommodate the larger, more casual audience

You'll never break bungie out of their "lord of the flies" experiment mentality. If you are older you'll understand the reference. I'm also an older solo player, because when I started games were pretty much solo, so its my natural environment. I just get out of this game what I can get out of it, and screw the rest. To not have to listen to a bunch of kids on the chat talking about what their teacher Miss Crabtree did today in class is worth the hermit status, although sometimes they are entertaining lol, like the group I was with one time during the crota raid who were like the cast of south park (ewww, did you see crota's feet?). I'll definitely play with others when I find a good group. I used to play with a shit ton pf people in D1, we had a really good group, enough to put 3-4 great raid teams together in super short notice, but it took time to build that. None came to D2, and most started slipping away during Rise of Iron, so I'm back to solo. I played games long enough to live by the motto, I play the games, the games don't play me. I have more fun running into other solo players and grouping up to do a team activity. For some reason we just get along better. Maybe its an old world gamer mentality of actually learning the event by trial and error, not looking it up on you tube, or listening to the favorite flavor of the week streamer. If you're on Xbox and get into a jam look me up. I'm usually on a lot these days for obvious reasons.

8 commentairesThe only thing you can't solo is raids and trials user error
-
Yeah the content is dogshit this season. But what does that have to do with being a solo player? Other than trials you can do pretty much everything without ever talking to or teaming up with other players.
-
Agree with everything. Especially menagerie being the best version of what we have now.

Modifié par PumaCheyenne : 3/30/2020 8:39:20 PMMore like Season of the Worry. As in worried about the future if things continue as is.

3 commentaires[quote]LFG, be real, has too many players DICTATING you have to have this or that.[/quote] This always annoys me. You do realize that you have the ability of making your own LFG post, right? [quote]DO NOT FORGET MANY PLAYERS HAVE TO PLAY SINGLE.[/quote] No. Many players CHOOSE to play solo. Now that you probably think I am just being a dick with my reply... At 1010 you should be able to clear the Legend solo. Are you going to die multiple times while figuring out your loadout and the best way to handle the fight? Yes. Can it be frustrating in that process? OH GOD YES! Will you need to get out of your 'comfort zone' and use weapons you might not normally use and/or possibly a subclass change you might not be used to running? That's entirely possible. I carry multiple weapons and swap them out fairly often while making these runs. Sometimes going as far as changing out the mod on my favorite submachine from anti-barrier to Overload and then changing back again or changing the mod on my trust in the middle of the run as needed. You're definitely not going to simply go in and 'steamroll' the Legend Lost Sectors. Time and patience. I also don't know what you mean by "older gamer". That's a very relative term. I'm 52 years old and clear these things almost every day solo. I've gone back in multiple times on a couple of them simply for the entertainment.

Great post.

The fact that the new activity is a public event really brings it home that bungie learned nothing from Escalation Protocol and (that one in the dreaming city whose name i have forgotten, though in that ones defence it had it's own area)
-
Legendary lost sectors and Warmind events shkuld have offered MM. I just love fast traveling over and over then driving my soarrow over and over wasting 30 mins just to find a group doing these events.

I'm with you. I'm solo-playing because I don't play hours and hours at time, and thus I don't want to LFG and join a team that expects longer playtimes. While I now Destiny is a multiplayer game, it have been quite fun doing single play. The matchmaking is not that great, but it have made it possible to do regular strikes and PVP. I would like to see easier raids with matchmaking with less mechanics and that does not take so long to finish, that give a little more powerful items than the regular strikes, to attract single players and those that not are hardcore. It could be an entrance to get more interested in the game and in the end getting better and finally enter the non-matchmade activities. The more difficult raids should of course generate more powerful items than the easier raids. But the main issue with the game is all this tedious work that must be done. Grind, grind, grind... Nowadays you can not even start to grind the bounties before you have grinded something else before, like finished the Bunker Buster or finished the forced play of PVP where you have to do this or that before you can even get access to bounties(!) Bungie expects every player sits down 5-10 hours a day, but in reality not many do that. But Bungie only listen to the positive hardcore gamers, and they set the bar in the game for those players. Not even all hardcore gamers like the way the game have turned, though. Gone is the fun of exploring the planets, to meet characters, to see story progression. Now it is just arenas and hordes, and a meaningless bounty grinding. I'd rather see story progression within the seasons, then new a arena and hord fight, we have countless of them already. For those that are bored on Destiny, play another game for a while - you'll see how refreshing that is.

Well due to having to stay home we will all become hardcore players lol and didnt that guy already say they find it hard to basically put stuff In the game lol they basically admitted they suck 😂

1 commentaireSingle player made easy > find a fireteam with the destiny app takes about 1min

8 commentairesThe problem is if they have it so single players can do it, fireteams will find it way too easy. Did solo legendary lost sector... completed it but gee it was difficult.

Modifié par ZoniCat : 3/29/2020 2:04:52 PMWhy do you have to play solo? Sincere question, because personally I've successfully played high level content with everyone from 12 to 62 years old, from all ethnic backgrounds, of varying mental abilities (including people who have legitimately diagnosed conditions).

Menagerie was done by Vicarious Visions. The 2 following seasons were done by Bungie. Looks like Activision did dump dead weight.
