I have not been a fan of the solstice events the past few years and this year feels even worse. I didn't play last year much, but I don't think I'm going to play this year much either.
The acquisition of the silver leaves is annoying and then the forging is even worse. When you get a bounty the requirements for completing them take forever. The amount of orbs required (Even when having the proper subclass equipped) feels annoyingly high, same with the get "X subclass kills" (Arc is currently broken and you have to do it on normal arc, can't do it on prismatic).
All of this and I still have not gotten passed the step that I need to collect the 100 alloy. I get the event isn't supposed to be played all in 1 day, but the writing is on the wall that the event is meant to be way more grindy than even before. It is not a good gameplay loop

You fools. Destiny is on life support. Bungie put all our money into Marathon. Destiny will get barely any updates going forward unless Sony takes over and puts several studios on the game. They haven’t even started D3. Get used to how it is now because this is how it will be for the next 5 years

How would you know? You haven't played since 2019.

Modifié par Dooodley : 8/10/2024 11:36:52 PMThe only positive is that we get the leaves from other activities too - so make sure you start the event before you go on a to to the weekly playlists. That'll keep you covered through the grind. Solar effect is a really good bounty - because Aberrant Action will do all the heavy lifting - but outside of that one I quickly condensed it down to the 5 point bounties. Just load up Shuro, fire a few shots of Aberrant Action and repeat. Now, someone might argue that the orb bounties for 15 work just as well but I found them to be really inconsistent and there's a cap for every super. Also, you need to waste raid flags. Way easier to just knock out the 5p ones every 2 minutes.

It’s never been good.

The only upside is that you don’t have to wear an armor piece to progress. And potentially you can get bounties to speed up the process (nf score for me) I won’t use the set but I’ll be on my way to finishing the glows unlike last year
-
I love it. My titan actually feels like pre nerf titan again.

1 commentaireCan it give me artifice armor?

Last year's solstice you could focus a single stat for a guaranteed 20+ and the random armor drops were already high stat whereas that option has gone this year. What was it like in previous years i.e. 2022 and before?
-
I agree. I can't play destiny all day long every day I work and have a life. I worked out at the current drop rate for the silver leaves and how much I need to get, I might maybe complete one piece of armor maybe a second if I got stubborn...but honestly it's boring....I played the bonfire bash for an hour yesterday and we all basically were so tired of the bugs, and only getting 7 leaves, we just logged off and played other games.

For a 3GB download I was expecting more, not entirely sure why? The Solstice event is boring not a lot of fun. It grants a new emblem, a few new weapons and an armour set that will be vaulted within 3-6 months. I won’t be spending any time on this event.
-
Honestly what’s the point of grinding out the armor anyways? It’s just another armor that you will delete in 6 months and you won’t spend the material to transmit it because bungie doesn’t give us enough to unlock everything for drip. I got on, farmed the shotgun I wanted from the event for PvP, and got off. I have been having more fun playing RuneScape again than this dead game.

1 commentaireModifié par Wintermute 2050 : 8/8/2024 11:23:55 PMI am playing Solstice only for fun because there isn't really anything else to do in the game right now. The rewards will get dismantled as they did in previous years. All the seasonal activities have become stale after years of playing them. Festival Of The Lost is next, and it will involve grinding lost sectors with the Headless Ones again.

Do public events in the EDZ to collect 4/5 silver leaves (doesn’t take long to build up a stack). Collect 5 armour bounties with a prismatic subclass to generate orbs. Put on the right mods to generate weapon kills for orbs. Go into grasp of avarice and keep killing enemies for orbs, collect the engrams for your super and keep killing enemies. Rinse and repeat for all 5 bounties - done in no time 🤨

The events feel lazy and boring anymore same old same old

Solstice has never been good

Absolutely agree. 1. The Alloy and Bounty System is just bad beyond comprehension. Your twinks repeat the exact grind. 2. The activity is exactly the same. Not a notch changed. I'd love any variation here: expert mode, Dread enemies, funny bosses or modifiers. 3. Weapons are bad. All the Archetypes are the worst for that Weapon for PvE, except the bow... but it's a bow 4. Armor is unbelievably ugly. And the "high stat armor" is underwhelming to be polite... That event needed a rework/overhaul for this year. But we got this pile of crap. Not even a skimmer for those wo missed it from guardian games. Thanks for nothing.

3 commentairesWhoever thought it was a good idea to lock the armor glow behind Eververse and bounty grinding has got to be completely out of touch with everything that's been happening at Bungie lately. Do they just work by themselves in a closet?
-
What needs to be done is an event rework, literally the event have been the exact same for a while now.
-
1 commentaireThey keep the event the same for years, but change the grind. Typical Bungie.
-
I played for about 10 minutes and turned the game off and played something else.
-
Year after year, Solstice remains the worst event.
-
The sht haven’t changed for years and yall act like this is a new topic lol
-
yeah, same ol activity, its ok I guess, but its old
-
Modifié par SuperKingzach12 : 8/7/2024 6:58:50 PMBungie needs to transform solstice every year same concept little changes like it’s never enough to get myself intrested in events again it gets stale and boaring I bought the armour as ornaments this years because I’m sick of the same thing every year
-
You should have titled this 2022, 2023 & 2024 unfortunately
-
I never bothered last year, and I think I'll pass this year too. Not even going to try get the armour bounties done, if anything I'll play a few bonfire bashes to get some weapons.
