already left last week, and it was a shame because id just been starting to get what it was about. finally got to lvl29 and could attempt the weekly/nightfall, i was starting to solo them but dying few times but got there in the end and enjoyed the challenge. it was my weekly raid, something to look forward too. then they nerfed all my exotics and took away the thing i looked forward too each week, so ive traded it in and got GTA 5/DAI, both games with actual content for the solo player. destiny was great but ultimately one of most frustrating experiences Ive ever played. its not made for 1 person, at least bungie aren't thinking of this group when they make changes. I hope they make they can resurrect it or fix their mistakes with destiny 2

This game won't get better because bungie are greedy pieces of shit that won't develop new content just make the old stuff harder because they just want to make money off of you all that they have to do is come up with like 2 bosses and a design for a raid which is easy but they don't because they have Down syndrome honestly they could have made this game amazing but instead they completely -blam!-ed it up

Precisely, it's unfair of them to make force me to have to depend on 2 other people being skilled enough to complete some of the harder challenges. I enjoy playing with my friends, I enjoy helping them out with their runs, when they happen to be on at the same time as I get to play...that having been said, I very much enjoyed being able to jump on at 2 or 3 in the morning and solo the Nightfall on MY TIME. I can't depend on other people and I'm sure as shit not going to have fun playing a game that forces me to depend on others without letting me take care of myself.

I agree. I'm mostly a solo player and only play with friends if they are online at same time but do not like depending on friends to play a game. I want to play on my time and my way and sometimes that's solo.

I like the challenge. It forces you to make better choices and play more tactfully

I still Lone Wolf much of the game. I see no issues so far.

Bungie, you must please everyone or face the consequences! I bought a group based game and demand you cater to my solo play!

And MMO means what? Lol c'mon now

[quote]The side effect of this change is that playing Strikes solo has indeed become a little harder. We acknowledge that this is undesirable for many players and we are considering different ways to solve these problems. We’ll continue to have conversations about how to support the solo player over the longer term. Right now, our attention is focused on the feedback you’ve given us about the Raid.[/quote] I'm hoping for a quick resolution, but it looks like solo players have been put on the bottom of the priorities list. Hopefully solo players will get some attention after the raid fixes and exotic buffs. I expect a 2-3 month break from solo play. That's seems about on par with the rest of their fixes.

Noticed the difficulty and thought they nerfed all my guns

Now this is where "shut up meg" would be more than appropriate.

Things like Vault of Glass should be more group-based. However, I do agree about the solo thing. Stuff like Nightfall Strikes should scale down a bit for solo players- not to the point where it is exactly easy, and playing with others should be a bit easier (implying they are around your skill level) than running things solo. It is kind of hard to balance everything properly, but I have noticed solo (everything but story) has been a lot more difficult recently, even on level 20 daily heroics. Level 20 daily heroics should not be able to put a level 28 into near-death scenarios after just a little minotaur splash damage. Oh well, feedback for Bungie :) They have been doing a great job at patching the game so far, outside of a few weapon nerfs, so hopefully they can fix this soon.

Man I regularly solo the night fall and weekly heroics just to see if I can. Last weeks was still achieve able even after the patch. This week's however is particularly taxing time wise, void burn is on, but everything has either arc or solar shields. That aside it's the "Summoning Pits", the level is a prick. I don't feel particularly alienated though. I feel like the challenge is the point of these high level strikes.

I have that same problem. Yesterday I was helping a friend level up his hunter and my level 28 warlock was being trounced by level 8 enemies. Not to mention that my same 28 warlock wasn't placing any damage on a enemy in a public event, hell I couldnt even take the shields down to do any damage to it and this was when we were about to do a mission. Why must I be nerffed by a huge extent just cause my friend is a lower level?

You're complaining that you can't play an online MULTIPLAYER game solo? Wow. Just.... Wow.

Nope they dont want you to solo, you need to socialise with others and play like they want you to play. By making you go trough the forum picking up randoms, then 5 minutes later kick the AFKer and the 8 year old shrieker and repeat. Then after 5 hours get a good team, and 5 strange coins for your completion reward. Its all great fun.....

I have commented on this topic elsewhere but I will comment AGAIN! I play ONLY PVE solo. Now the night falls have become well nigh impossible I am left with patrols and other trivial tasks. I am getting VERY fed up VERY fast! (60yo Level 29 Hunter). Note to SLASHING BLADE:- I purchased this game because Bungie said solo was OK! Now they are shitting on solo players!

The dollars of the many outweigh the dollars of the few. Is it my fault I'm the "lone wolf" kind of guy? Bungie and the fanboys say,"Absolutely!"

Solo is still easy^^

First of all I read the first sentence of your post and won't even bother reading the rest cause I can already tell what it will be about, second of all if u can't do a strike solo u suck, third of all this is a mmo, fourth of all this is meant to be played with friends so suck it up get some and stop complaining or stop playing.

See bungie is trying to be a shooter version of darksouls on one end. If you saw the gear that it made as a tribute and you put 2 in 2 together you can tell why they made VoG the way they did and why they don't fix bugs but keep em to make it more difficult as well as why they want to make their game as "challenging" as possible lol that said, they're going about it all wrong. This game is in no way darksouls and will never be. The amount of content it has is just saddening. It feels like I'm playing an open beta. I would not bish about this game if it were free to play, take a look at warframe; You want bonus or custom stuff you need to pay but the game itself has more content than destiny aaand its free to play. I personally, as you stated love the visuals and gunplay of this game. I see it as a solid foundation. However everything else needs heavy improvement. I am still hopefull that all this will change but my hope dwindled with every patch. They dont create new better content, they simply nerf and destroy older content. They do what they want and not what the community asks for. Destiny has nothing that halo had besides the gunplay feel. It has potential to be amazing but how bungie goes about it seems to only discourage the idea of a prosperous game in the future. Bungies idea to make destiny a multiplatform (including old gens) hindered it since they decided to do everything simultaneously to all consoles. This means that if there's something that one of the 4 consoles can't handle then it will never be implamented for any of them all together. So spec wise the older gens will dictate how far destiny will go. Anyway im still hopefull bungie will pull a miracle out of their arse since I'm still in disbelief that such an amazing company would make something so... pathetic conpared to its previous work so only time can tell but I will say this much. It was bad enough loosing fans because the product wasn't what they claimed it would be but with how its going about it people are getting pissed and annoyed at bungie since it's sorta ignoring portions of its community over pvp and making very drastic and unessary changes and soon will even have a hate club or something lol

If you can complain on the fourms. You can find a nightfall, weekly, etc team...

*millions of players... they've lost the faith of millions of players

Its not a solo game. Thats pretty freaking obvious. Its designed around group dynamics. Surely you knew that coming in? I like to play occasionally alone when I dont feel like getting in a loud party and I can solo a large amount of the content (Nightfalls and such) but it definitely feel lacking without a team. It sucks you are not enjoying it maybe its just not your type of game? Sounds like you prefer more RPG games like Elder scrolls or something. That being said I feel like the solo community on this game is very very small. Most people came with the expectations of team centered gameplay. That is what I feel bungie intended and will continue to support that model. Strength in numbers similar to my D3 experience. One thing we can all agree on is that bungie dropped the ball content wise :p

In all fairness Arc Burn makes this weeks weekly an absolute bitch...!
