No Timed

4133

I am not a fan of a timed nightfall i cant enjoy myself with my friends cause i have to rush through it, i am not having fun because im just so stressed the whole time i understand that they dont want people just camping around just pickking off at the boss but to have to whole nightfall timed thats stressful, now if you made it where the boss was timed so that they couldnt just hide and pick him off slowly then thats fine but please get rid of the time limit

  • I was going to buy headphones for this until I heard about the timer. Now I won't bother. Bumgie continues to be stupid beyond belief. I'm playing D1 more than 2.

    Agree completely, this is an FPS not a racing game--which is what this game turns into in some certain nightfalls--sparrow racing. Not to mention it alienates solo matchmaking for those of us who cannot consistently find players to play.

  • Just knowing there is a timer there makes me hate this. I hate timers and I hate rushing through something when I want to enjoy myself. I don’t have the luxury to be able sit on the couch all day dazed and confused about life. Many of us have to work for a living and find time to hang out with the other sex. We want to play this game to relieve some stress and kill stuff. It’s already bad enough I have to round up 2 other overweight lugs or school children just to play this. Have your fun with prestige modes and your raids, but give us a break! After all, we paid for this too ya know. My friends and I already don’t play the raid because it’s a pain in the pooper. Now I got no Nightfall either. Way to go Bungie!!

  • The timed nightfall was an extremely lazy attempt to make it more difficult. Add more mechanics, make the enemies more difficult, smarter, shielded. It's not even enjoyable to play, and most are skipping the nightfall because of it.

  • Totally agree. I hate feeling rushed and after failing multiple nightfall’s when I only needed a couple extra minutes drives me crazy. I have to search online for “cheeses” which shouldn’t be the way I get through one. I miss the original ones where you got kicked to orbit if your fire team died. No rush just take your time. Anything but a timer

  • 2/3rd dont enjoy the timer, so i expect it to be gone pretty soon. What amuses me most is people talking about having a challenge, while bragging about having 8 Minutes left on the clock- which one is it? If you have 8 Minutes Left, its just another grindfest and -quite obiously- not that challenging for you. You can make the NF Challenging without adding such a boring thing as a timer. Rushing by whole segments of a strike is neither fun nor is it the way i (and the bigger part of the community) likes to play. Currently Destiny has VERY little Content. The only way to level up is the Powerful gear rewards- and you get four of them: NF, Clan XP, Flashpoint and PVP- most people cant do the raid since you need 6 people. With the NF being just not fun to do, you are lose out on 25% of the chance to get better gear, so spare me with this mindless "hurr durr there is enough content outside NF" platitudes, because there isnt. If you want the NF to be as hard as to disencourage 2/3rds of the community from doing it, at least: 1. Bring back heroic Strikes and/or Prison of Elders 2. Add in more Strikes 3. Make Strikes worthwile doing. Because right now farming through Public events is in every way more rewarding than doing strikes- aside of Vanguard Tokens, which are totally useless since all gear is below your level and the Chance of getting an exotic are higher at public events since you can make 3 or 4 of them in the time it takes to do a strike.

  • Don't like the timer either keep that for prestige. Normal should allow you to have fun mess around and take noobs through without a problem. Yeah I can run through the night fall with my clan or buddies I play with regularly. But when I play with weekenders or friends that just get on once and a while. They get frustrated with the timer and frankly so do. I understand the challenge but I also like to enjoy the level and the challenge of killing everything. I can't enjoy it if it's timed. Bungie keep it to prestige mode please.

  • It adds an element of challenge to NF. You have to be coordinated, move quickly, and be efficient. If that bothers you, then you don't need to be doing the NF at all.

    • I gave it 2 attempts last night and then just said F'k this sh*t! I hate having to speed run the thing... honestly we ran past so many enemies... is this what Bungie wants? Players to just run by enemies? The timer is ridiculous at the very least if they want to keep it in place it should be more realistic like adding 10 seconds per kill (I mean really, 2 seconds is just stupid!) and yellow bars should add 30 seconds to 1 minute. The nightfall had zero fun factor for me so I bailed after 2 attempts and doubt I will be back to do it again if they don't change it up a bit. (Sweaty try hards need not reply, I couldn't care less how "easy" it was for you. My opinion is just that [b]my[/b] opinion and is not affected in any way by how great you think you are.)

      • I’m loving the timed nightfall. It requires teamwork communication and it’s bringing the challenge to where t should be . We have enough ready content in d2 .

      • There are some elements destiny that I loved that they took away from in Destiny to. The mechanics are clunky compared to Destiny 1 which I find odd but I can deal with, The Crucible matches how they rotate the playlist it's stupid, but the dumbest thing of all is the Nightfall timer. I'm seriously thinking about getting rid of the game because if all they're going to do is reward try-hards and cheesers I don't need to play this game anymore. I think what they're forgetting is these casuals that these little squeakers and Tweakers talk about are the ones who actually have the money to buy the games and DLCs because they have jobs and come out of their parents basement every now and then

      • People asked for the condition to kick people back to orbit if they fail. We got it back. People asked for the nightfall to be harder. We got that too. People just can never be satisfied.

        • My friends and I totally agree. Destiny 2 is a great game but timed Nightfall is a lazy attempt at difficulty bump. Plus, I have a young son who could play Nightfalls with me in Destiny 1 but doesn't have the skill set necessary to achieve the timed Nightfall with us. So that really sucks. I play video games to relax, not to stress out over ridiculously short time limits. Knock it off, Bungie.

          • absolutely agree the nightfall being timed actually discourages me from doing the nightfall, at this point the only reason im doing night falls is to get powerful gear the timers make it incredibly unenjoyably. this needs to be changed!

            • I totally agree that Destiny 2 nightfall timers are ruining the fun of running the entire Strike. I totally get that raids should be timed and for the hard core players in the game. However, I just do not enjoy the nightfall at all now. Yes, I could be a better player but do not let me get to a very high light and then make it impossible to finish Nightfall after learning the plan of the Strike. Total crap. Make it hard enough to run it a few times to complete but dont make good players go out and have to get badasses to make it through it. How will that work to bring in new players to the platform too.

            • It's lazy, artificial difficulty. It's not about skill, it's about finding cheeses and ways to skip entire sections. Way worse than the chandelier or noob cliff.

              • Ran passed 2/3 of the enemies, beat it, hated it. Remove the timer and bring back kick to orbit if all die.

              • Im with you, it isint Hard, its lazy game design. Love The game, i hate nf, im quite sad about it, nf was even more fun than raids IMO in d1 but so far i got 0 interest in completing nf, For The love of the traveler get rid of that sh%t! No timer, and IF someone wants to cheese it, LETEM!

                • Isn’t that the point of making nf’s more difficult being able to complete it with a few seconds remaining or totally failing? I’m not sure why people are complaining when D1 nf’s were timed aswell, heck you could even solo them like I did 90% of the time, that’s how easy they were. I don’t think nf are fun, they’re suppose to give you a feeling of being proud that you actually have completed something others haven’t. Actually bungie needs to make nf even more difficult.

                • I'm okay with it as long as it is technically possible to solo it. Probably not what bungie had in mind, but that is how I treat nightfall. When I'm done grinding and leveling and have nothing else to do, ill jump into nightfall and see how far I can get as a solo. Although, that means I don't use nf as a way to power up. I can't be the only one that does this.

                • Don't enjoy a timer generally. Why not leave timer but allow continue if it expires. Reward efficiency but don't sacrifice fun. I play D1 an D2 for fun with friends. I speed run soulsborne for a stupid challenge.

                • I'm just going to stop doing Nightfalls entirely, not worth getting agrivated over, plus there's 4 other ways to get Powerful Gear a week anyway. But yeah -blam!- the Nightfall timer

                • If the anomalies acctually spawn it would help. Having then glitch in two of the three areas doesn't help things. Also waiting for ghost gave me a brain tumor

                • The major problem is that it's a cheap and easy way to make the Nightfall harder. It's not a terribly engaging method to making the content harder. It's sort of the "lazy man's out" in game design. The problem is there's no engagement surrounding the timer, outside of the five minute challenge/Rat King quest line. There's not really any meaningful purpose behind the timer, outside of "added challenge" (and stress) because it seems like they couldn't come up with a better method to make the NIghtfall more interesting. The old Nightfall formula was fine. Sure, people who wanted to solo it could solo it, but that's not bad game design, it allows players who want an extra challenge get an extra challenge. There's no real solid argument Bungie has to defend the addition of the timer, other than "we couldn't come up with a better way to make it harder."
