Why keep making it harder for solo players?

EDIT 2: Thanks for the responses. The point I was trying to make was bigger than this specific fix. I see there is a work around, but the point was that even in a multiplayer game, there are people like me who prefer to play solo and you cannot change this. I will play as part of a team only when I feel like it. You need to accommodate players like me no matter what kind of game you create. For example in GTA Online I always play invite only and don't invite anyone and only play multiplayer for racing. That is how I like to play. There are just too many people who can quickly get on your nerves for me to always be playing with others. EDIT: I can adapt, that is easy enough, but not all classes can do this solo. My warlock can just hang back more and fireborn when I inevitably get killed, but my other 2 characters won't be able to try this. I suspect that if I was level 30 on all characters, that this would be a moot point since it gets lots easier then. The main issue is the fix: Winter's Run: Fixed an exploit zone in the Aksor boss encounter That was something which made it possible for me to finally get through Nightfall solo with my Hunter. My Warlock always finishes nightfall. My titan still can't do it. Are you trying to push me out of the game with restrictive content? It is bad enough I can't play the raid or future raids, so I don't need to buy the DLC. This incessant need for game companies to make everything multiplayer is wearing thin on me. I will try out Iron Banner, but if I keep getting these solo play nerfs I may just play another game.

  • You can still exploit it go to the back part of the platform jump off and duck under the bar and you are back in the exploit spot I know how you feel about soloing I've always solo'd the hardest things available but this is crazy I shouldn't be using all of my maxed out gears ammo and barely touch a boss it's not even close to being fair

      The burn doesn't even matter this week.....hardly does damage to a captain or anything yellow, but two shots to the player destroys them. Let's make everyone a bullet sponge, and the player a grunt..14 head shots from a maxed TDYK to kill a yellow vandal?!?!?! Really??

    • It's sad but true - they will go out of their way to stop player and make them play the game 'their' way, but the won't fix actual glitches or exploits. Atheon is still a bug fest, sunsingers can still infinitly revive, and the list goes on. In my opinion, it wasn't even much of an exploit as you could still get mauled while hiding under the platform if the snipers and other enemies got in the right position

          In my opinion this game is broken, if you are able to solo anything above level 24!

          • The nightfall is easy to solo.... Winter's Run is easy to solo. I never went under the platform that's stupid, just hang back at the entrance and jump on top of the rocks on the left side. This game is a "shared world shooter" so sorry if you just want to play a game solo. Quit posting on the forums because that's being too social right?

            • I usually solo the nightfall because the aggro with 3 people is crazy so if you all are in the same area mobs will just use nonstop splash damage attacks, people play they way they do because it's hard to play broken ass games. Did they fix the health bar refills in the atheon fight? I bet they didn't. Also some exotics got nerfed.

              • End game content in Destiny is meant to forge alliances through teamwork. I have to admit, the landscape of gaming sure is changing rapidly... Single player is dead now.

                  Been soloing nightfall on every class since week 2. It's easy just hang back and don't die. It's all about patience and good weapons.

                      Why can't you do the raid? Edit: You can still hang back and do it solo from the entry point.

                    • Dude that spot sucked anyway, I soloed nightfall and weekly heroic on all 3 of my level 28s from the entrance/mountain spot. Under the walkway just took longer

                      • They fixed an exploit - if you can't beat it without using said exploit you need to adjust your tactics. There's a spot high on the rocks just before you drop in the boss zone you can chill and snipe.

                          Or you could do this http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XCmDuKicNbg Nightfall solo in under 10 minutes. Not too shabby. He's pretty handy mind you, his clan got world second kill of atheon.

                        • I stopped reading when you moved to complaining about them fixing a cheap hiding spot. Read in one of the notes about it being made harder for solo players, i'm guessing by actual difficulty, like they do more dmg/more hp etc.. and thought the title was about that, because making it harder to fight as normal for solo isn't quite fair, but your title is misleading and should be renamed to "Why did you patch my nooby hiding spot?"

                            Was the patch about the place where Aksor gets stuck or the place where you can snipe everything without being hit? Or both? Edit: http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/79155972/0/0 So there's a new cheese spot already. XD
