I guess I’m just here to vent. I was a day 1 D1 guardian, and have put more hours into Destiny as a franchise than any other game in my library. I quit D2 after Curse of Osiris because PvP was the only thing going, and Bungie had just made Sniper/Sidearm the only viable loadout and it broke me. I came back just after Witch Queen, because the hype was inescapable. Caught up on the lore, got my Scallywag badge and then my Seraph badge… And then in season of Defiance I noticed a change.
A change I’ve seen get only worse in season of the deep: there is no way for me to complete the seasonal title solo.
“Just use LFG”. Not the point. I have always been able to enjoy Destiny as a solo player. Always enjoyed the matchmade playlists. Loved the challenge of going after Brakion to get Vexcalibur. Hell, Bungie even seemed to be catering more to players like me by promising in game LFG with Lightfall… I shouldn’t have to throw myself on the mercy of strangers on a 3rd party website just to find two people who want to do all the pressure trials.
I just feel disincented. I don’t really expect anything to change, but I do kind of feel bummed out about how much Bungie seems to be moving away from players like me: that I’m no longer the target audience for a game I enjoy the spit out of.
/rant. Thanks for listening you guys. Maybe it’s time to finish Returnal or something…
Console user here, our life is a bit more barren (there are some hacks like changing your clock but I’m not messing with those) but this looks cool. It would be even cooler if Bungie just added it as a setting - I end up in so many Vanguard playlist games where one person just rushes the map, it ruins the enjoyment of just playing the game. :-/
