Nightfall is gone! More forced PvP rubbish.

Bungie must ignore it's own analytic reports. A few months ago they said around 2% of people's playtime was spent in PvP (read: mostly people doing the exotic bounties) yet soon after they release HoW and rip out the raid to force us into the one passable end game activity left which was strictly PvP. We all know PoE is a joke so don't say that's a valid end game activity. Now with TTK it's gotten even worse, Nightfall has been demoted to the place of the weekly strike with the reward of a single purple engram. The weekly strike is gone (bye, bye Strange Coins) The Daily has been nerfed, too. All these changes are account wide too, gone are the days of getting 27 coins per week. Gone are the days of getting XP buffs to help the grind. What's Bungie's answer to Nightfall being gone? They are forcing more PvP down your throats. You want exotics? Go deal with rubbish network code where the terms "switch has priority" and "replication" have no meaning to the developers. If you thought that cheating in ToO was bad just wait until it's pretty much the only way to get exotics now.

    Nightfall drops are being buffed, Luke Smith tweeted about it, so fingers crossed. Edit: yay for typos!

  • With a name like that, this has to be b8. If not, I feel truly sorry for you. Life as a blind or illiterate person must be hard.

All they are dropping from the nightfall is the 20% xp bonus you get for completion. There will still be a nightfall and weekly heroic, but now the weekly heroic will just be a playlist and the first three times in a week you complete it you are guaranteed a legendary engram. They don't mention strange coins in the update, so I'm not sure if you will no longer get them or not.

        • Nightfall isn't gone. I don't get why people are saying that they are forcing pvp; if anything I feel like they are trying to let us choose what er want to do. ....ok, I was about to type a long thing, but then I read your name lol.

            They want PvP to save the game. Its common, happens in every FPS. Once ppl get bored of the grind pvp is only thing it has left. So they make the bs patches to "balance" weapons hoping it'll attract more ppl into pvp; therefore increasing the longevity and time you put into the game to make up for the content, or lack thereof. But i feel you in that last paragraph. Its gonna be crazy

                [quote]Now with TTK it's gotten even worse, Nightfall has been demoted to the place of the weekly strike with the reward of a single purple engram.[/quote] No, you're confusing Nightfall and weekly here. Nightfall will yield rewards beyond that, so your notion that it's been demoted to a weekly heroic is wrong. [quote]The weekly strike is gone (bye, bye Strange Coins)[/quote] No, that's still there. Just works a little different. Oh, and we don't know anything about strange coins in TK yet so that's a non issue atm. [quote]The Daily has been nerfed, too.[/quote] Or buffed. Increased rewards and made account wide. [quote]All these changes are account wide too, gone are the days of getting 27 coins per week. Gone are the days of getting XP buffs to help the grind.[/quote] We still haven't heard anything on coins for TK. So that's irrelevant. And as they said, you still have three weekly heroic strike rewards for completion, so it's the exact same thing. And what they say is that they buffed xp gains across the board to compensate for the nf buff being removed. So you won't need it. [quote]What's Bungie's answer to Nightfall being gone? They are forcing more PvP down your throats. You want exotics? Go deal with rubbish network code where the terms "switch has priority" and "replication" have no meaning to the developers.[/quote] Or you go do the Nightfall. Or farm Court of Oryx. Or the Raid. Or if you want, you could do trials of osiris, or you could do the weekly pvp bounties. Or all of the above. [quote]If you thought that cheating in ToO was bad just wait until it's pretty much the only way to get exotics now.[/quote] It's not, so don't worry.

                  Did you know: The nightfall will still be there, just without a return to orbit function and an added 30 second revive timer? That you'll still get the same rewards? That the PvP event will provide rewards of the same tier? That this means it's not forced on you at all? That the weekly strike isn't gone, is just been turned into a playlist and changed the name? That there are plenty of coins still to be had? Have a day.
