Is solstice of heroes fun?
In my belief it’s not fun it’s terrible and it’s nothing but a chore and it hurts my brain.
-
2 RisposteIts a waste of time.
-
7 RisposteIt’s really stupid. The packages offer nothing. Absolutely nothing. Bungie needs to get a clue about these types of events. Instead of giving us cool gear, ornaments, weapons... etc, that honor the commitment of the community and making the event enjoyable. It’s like they use this for themselves as a way to get people to play their repetitive content. Smh
-
They should have lowered the requirements for the 2nd and 3rd character on your account. I didn't mind the initial grind but doing again and then again got to be pretty damn boring. I should finish my last one by the weekend for sure but just could not force myself to play yesterday at all. Things like the Orb count should have been 200 on 1st, 100 2nd and 50 3rd something like that across all requirements.

I just got the voidstreak sparrow and don’t feel like doing strikes or gambit ever again, or even the EAZ. There’s just so much repetitiveness and monotony with no real rewards whatsoever; everything is paywalled in eververse. There are no new enemies or strikes, and they can’t even be bothered to shuffle the enemies/locations unless they sell it to us (instead of providing actual new content). The game is nothing but a scam within a scam within a scam. I am glad 80% of the current players can see that. Those 20% are hopeless fanboys who eat anything thrown at them, even though they are nickel-and-dimed at every turn.

It was a bit too grindy for my tastes. There's only go much gambit I care to play. After masterworking my first character, I swore I'd be done. Buuut, the completionist in me wouldn't allow it. So I did all three characters. I swear those little orbs of light pop up in my dreams now.
-
I work and got my Huntress fine, play smart.
-
Biased poll is biased. The activity is fun. The grind is a bit too much.
-
The EAZ is a fun activity but the grind burned me out.
-
It was good for me, but only because i took a six month break and when i came back i had an easy, guaranteed way to get all characters to max power. Had i not taken a break, i would've had to have been really bored to do it.
-
Kind of. The EAZ is a nice touch, and it’s loopable content. It’s nothing extravagant, but it’s alright. The armor grind is okay, but only for one character. IMO, I don’t really feel like getting the sets on my warlock or hunter because I’d rather prep for Shadowkeep. IMO, solstice doesn’t have to be anything extravagant. It’s just a bridge to the next bit of content. It’s fine for what it’s meant to be. Could be better, could be worse. I think it’s exactly what it needs to be.
-
It's okay,but I wish they revamped forsaken missions instead of eaz

1 RispondiMasterworking was fun

1 RispondiThe EAZ was fun the first 100 times but even ice cream can get old if you eat it too much Have all the Majestic sets for my 3 characters but the RNG for Enhanced perks is not that great. At least not for me. Solstice is a good way to prepare for Shadowkeep with getting the armor and stocking up with Enhancement cores and materials from packages. I'm starting to wind down and will probably take a break from Destiny in September to come back fresh for Shadowkeep.
-
I only did one character and it was fine. Landed some decent rolls on the armor as well. Now, I’ll be stacking materials, mostly cores, before SK.
-
I just skipped the event this time. It's not like you have to play it if you don't want to. There'll be plenty of new armor to find in Shadowkeep.

Been here since september 2014..... it's pretty bad considering how bungie designed it in a way that almost seems like the purposely wanted players to grief each other. You literally need a fireteam if you want to open chests to farm for enhanced perk gear. Experienced people can go in and burn every mini boss before others even get there. Horde mode is GREAT in gears of war but TERRIBLE in destiny. The AI in this game is ridiculous, it's literally the ONLY game where the enemy rate of fire increases when your health is down or when you're on your vehicle. The disappearing chests add no value to the experience, especially when 75% of players aren't smart enough to even step on a single rooftop. It feels very grindy even after you google and find out.... They Wrote The Requirements Wrong on your gear to upgrade. On my warlock the blue boots read: "Get 200 arc subclass super kills on guardians in crucible or gambit". I had 97 before someone in clan told me just to go anywhere and kill anything with arc supers. I don't mind the grind so to speak... but adding to the countless hours we spend on D2 by not even writing a task correctly (not the first time by far !) Is disrespectful to the players.

2 RisposteI did the three sets because I want to be able to go straight into Shadowkeep with the ornaments for various sets and because basically I'd be playing anyway. Can't say it was a fun grind, though. In some respects, I preferred the Redux mission format from last year. The EAZ and the grind generally would've been better if they'd configured the challenges better e.g. 1) the minibosses... Smh 2) EAZ stuff for warlock mostly on the helmet means we couldn't just rock out with Crown or Nezarec 3) solar melee kills on Titan. I mean, that could've[i]so easily[/i] been arc and then most of us would have had fun charging around for a while with Skullfort 🤷♂️ 4) arc orbs on Hunter gauntlets - that would have been a much more fun blast through strikes if I could've used Liar's Handshake Idk, an exotic reward from EAZ would've made this feel like more of a celebration? Or even just a path to the prestige Levi catalysts since so few people even touch those raids now (me included).

After the miniboss nerf its not nearly as bad. The real issue is getting elemental weapon kills in crucible because nobody is using the weapons you want. Not even people with the same character on the same set of armor. I think people see "X element kills in crucible" and think "I just can super people and it will count" but it doesn't. Weapons only. And the only reason it takes as long as it does is because the community is purposefully not using those weapons either out of ignorance or in protest. Gambit matches are not my favorite part of this either but its no where near as bad as the crucible kills. In the nearly 100 Gambit matches I've done these last 3 weeks I've almost gotten an entire reset again so thats cool I guess.

I wouldn’t say I’m having a blast, but it’s nice to have reasons to do things I wouldn’t bother with otherwise like some of the bounties, patrols and heroic events. Hopefully they can build on this and find other ways to revitalize old content from time to time. I’m finishing up my second character and won’t have time for the third, but I probably wouldn’t do it at this point even if I did. I’m ready to move on to other things.
-
I did all three. At first I thought I would just do the Titan. Then I got the armor glows and felt like I needed to get some value out of them. So I completed the other two (albeit with music and lots of beer). The way I look at it is if I get enough sets with rolls I like they can be whatever I want them to be when armor 2.0 sets in. I can have flies or skins on them. I’ll have to wait and see if it works out like I’m hoping. Personally I thought the grind was pretty intense. For some reason I can’t put my finger on it felt like my Warlock took the longest to complete. I don’t personally think the sparrow was the proper reward for completing three. I think the armor glows would have been the appropriate reward for doing all three with an option to purchase still.
-
Taking my time on my third set. Bit of this, bit of that.. Fun? Mmmmmm - No not really but doable.
-
Not really. It might have been had we not spent the previous 2 years doing the exact same thing apart from a boring 'kill bosses in time' mode. At least last year's focused on the redux missions which were actually quite fun, this year the busy work part of it is just so overdone. At the end of the day it's just another activity with zero design effort, like most of the exotic quests.
-
It's everything I thought it would be. Without the chase for a new bright engram, it's forgettable and pointless once you are done with your majestic set(s).
-
I only have one character so I won’t know if grinding all three sets is as bad as they say. But I’ve had fun with solstice, even trying to get the armor.
-
I didnt hate the idea of it, just the execution. All the mini bosses should have moved towards the center of the map after spawning. Running on a time limit looking for them, bumping into walls, jumping into ceilings.... Na i got my purple armor AFTER they nerfed the mini boss requirements and havent went back in.

2 RisposteModificato da PilksUK: 8/19/2019 8:58:20 AMLast year I had grinded all three sets within the first 2 weeks and was helping friends grind theirs and doing those revamped story story missions, this year I'm still on the blue set for my main and dont think I will bother finishing it. After reading Luke Smiths blog posts I cancelled my pre-order of shadowkeep deluxe mainly because I will not pay for DLC content that will get removed at the end of a season this is not FORTNITE we are paying for content so should have access to it! I'm going to wait and see more of shadowkeep to see if thats even worth getting as they haven't actually shown anything yet and I want to know if they have changed anything else on how they deliver content without informing us before asking for money.. So far the blog post about bright dust changes then Luke smiths posts have painted a picture in my head that shows Destiny is embracing all the fear of missing out tactics that a free to play game does along with the very expensive cashshop but they want us to pay for all the content ontop of that unlike a f2p game I play Destiny at my own pace and enjoy it at my own pace and thats why I pay if I wanted to feel pressured to play 10 hours a day or miss out I would play a f2p game because if I miss out on things in a f2p game as I didnt grind enough fine Im not paying for it..
