Why is bungie forcing me to play game modes I don't want to play...
Pathfinder is stupid as -blam!-.. Why force me to play gamshit or crucible? Just let me do my thing in nightfalls..
Can we somehow get Bungie to change this stupidity?
Edit:
I banked ~70 motes in 2 games, have 12/100 motes banked on this..

What's funny is that pathfinder is more limiting than the bounties. Don't like the bounties today? Wait for the daily refresh. Don't like the pathfinder node? Tough sh!t..

13 RepliesBungie did it this way to push us into the dying content that they haven't touched in years. Only cheats and egomaniacs play PvP, so a lot of casuals stay away. And the only thing they've done in Gambit is to add annoying shriekers and tormentors to make it more "challenging". If they can put a pathfinder in purely for one area, they can put one in for each mode. PvP, strikes and Gambit.

Because, “play the way you want to play”….as long as it’s the way we demand you play. ~Bungie

I mean you'd have to play all game modes to get your light levels up anyways so does it really change all that much? 🤷

4 Repliestheir not forcing you to you just are to afraid to play gambit or whatever excuse youll come up with

1 ReplyCompletely agree. I came here because I just reset my first pathfinder this week and when I saw my last 2 on my next one were either Crucible or Gambit. Immediately finished with pathfinder this week. I understand the benefits and ease of use of the pathfinder system but Destiny is not a game I play for PVP. I have other games to scratch that itch and have no interest in the playstyle offered. When they changed the weekly pinnacle to be 3/6/9 matches of whichever playlist we wanted, I thought that was a big step forward to allowing us to actually play and earn rewards how we wanted but this pathfinder system is a step in the other direction. I just hope they hear us.

It’s likely designed that way to encourage players to fill out different playlists and experience more of the game. How it plays out long term, I’m not sure. Will it encourage people to play more, less, or will it make no difference? Personally, I’ll stick to the activities I enjoy and mostly ignore the pathfinder.

3 RepliesEdited by Raijinmeister: 6/17/2024 6:44:21 AMTook me almost 2 hours to get the helium ignition node done. I was with my Warlock, using Subracers+Drangonbreath+BXR-55, and got stuck in 60%. Had to jump on my Titan with a Pyrogale build to complete it. Pathfinder is not only highly bugged but is also super annoying. It's there to bump activity numbers artificially and stall player progression and bright dust farm. We are doing more to get less. Typical BUNGO dirty move.

Several objectives even force your load out.

1 Replyhonestly i can’t do it. i have played so much gambit i can almost reset my rank and im barely halfway through the gambit pathfinder. for one prime engram this is way too much.
-
How are they forcing you? At gunpoint?

Edited by Ray92: 6/17/2024 9:46:44 PMWhy is everyone doing the mote thing when you just can do the Overthrow completion ; it takes like 30 minutes max, that is if you’re new or really slow Edit : also the gambit thing is bugged , by the way.

3 RepliesThat's why I only do the Pale Heart pathfinder, it's 100% PvE stuff only.

21 RepliesI get where Bungie are going with this - It's about promoting D2 as a whole product, not just a selection of different activities that you get to pick and choose from. D2 has a bunch of different game modes to play that people get to choose from. I think the idea of Pathfinder is to take those players that only do Strikes or only do Crucible, and push them to try something else, as a lot of players find what they like, hyperfocus on that and never try anything else. In reality, the game has around 150k players (on Steam) right now, but the forums don't have 150k players complaining about Pathfinder, which suggests that the vast majority of players either don't have an issue with Pathfinder pushing game modes they don't like, they've simply gone a different path, or the did the node activity and carried on. Hell, some of them may have even stuck around in those other game modes after the node was complete...which would be the point of Pathfinder. Point being that the amount of people who will get upset over a node, refuse to do it and so not complete a Pathfinder run is probably very, very low compared to the players that just get on with it and try something they'd otherwise not.

It’s bugged. Let’s hope they do a major update soon with lots of bug fixes. Like the random holding black screen kick you to orbit…
-
I thought there are 2 different pathfinders, one for PvE and one for PvP. Not sure if they overlap because I don't really pay attention to the requirements because doing all of that stuff for 1 engram seems silly. I'm genuinely curious?
-
How is this acceptable??? What a scam.
-
Yeah me to I've had the same problem with the gambit node
-
No one is forcing you to do the pathfinder except for yourself. you get better rewards from the weekly challenges and such than finishing it. Do the things you want to from it, grab the XP and wait for it to reset as it does each Tuesday and pray to the rng gods you only get vanguard stuff. They probably won't add a reset button to unfinished pathfinders due to people just spamming it to get the easiest objectives.

6 RepliesI find that decision odd. They changed ritual challenges not that long ago so we could finish it playing what we want, now they do a 180 with pathfinder smh.
-
Pathfinder is actually a great idea if we had a pathfinder for every faction, but the thing is...bungo didn't have the time to implement it in every faction or they simply did it to force us to play things we don't want to play wich is sad
