ahh its great seeing the EXACT issue being addressed. Legit tho this is the exact thing I am running into and looking for a guide on. Thanks man, guess my free-to-play self wont be really able to deal with this weeks vanguard challenge
I was wondering why my run didn't count. That's a real bummer. Been playing Witch Queen after a good sale to refamiliarize myself with the game and to decide if I wanted to buy Lightfall. Upsetting to see this TBH, but I guess the F2P model makes things weird in the grand scheme of it. Thanks for putting this info out.
There are multiple weekly surges, outgoing damage bonus for Stasis and Arc and also more incoming damage from Void… So I have to equip all three? Or play one with Stasis (that I don’t even have) and play one with Arc? Like what the fuck it’s so fucking unclear and inconvenient! Great job Bungie..
Man this makes things worse as far as me staying with the game. I didn’t by Lightfall and would only if it was on major sale just to get Strand. Otherwise I wasn’t gonna make the investment. I am no longer gonna grind. I have other things to do in life. Bungie making everything harder to play without grinding for a light level just made it even more difficult for me to be a casual player. After easily spending over 6K hrs managing all aspects of the game and 3k hrs actually playing I’m kind of feeling stabbed in the back. How is the light level requirements any kind of an encouragement to f2p players or casual players who have invested hundreds of dollars in the game? What a major downer.
F2p is very convoluted sadly. It's very limited in some ways that make the game really unfun. I really hope they listen to feedback at some point and change it :(
The fact that 70% of players didn't even complete a single Nightfall when it was arguably as easy a strike... its going to be massively less now after the changes. :(
Good afternoon sir I hope all is well. What if I never get strand because I am having the hardest time trying to complete the mission to even get it? Thank you for your help in this issue hope you have an absolutely wonderful day
Hmm okay lots here. So for the mission to unlock it I assume you mean the last mission of the story? 3 solutions for that. The 1st one is to lower the difficulty. So if you are on legend, lower it to classic. Then once you complete the story strand and unlock strand... you can earn strand mediations and unlock the aspects and fragments. This will make your strand much more powerful when you get it in the mission. The 2nd is to use the destiny 2 app on your phone. I think it's called the campanion app for destiny. There you can search for fireteams. You can select the campaign section and then just make your title the name of the mission. This can allow you to try it with other people. Lastly, there is the option I went with... don't use strand. Just leave the strand there and use your most powerful super. The one that you really enjoy. Also it should be noted that exotic weapons that use primary ammo, so no engery or power weapons, get a 40% damage buff. They feel much more powerful for your primary damage dealer. So you can use one of those primary ammo exotics. Make sure you use mods In your helmet slot to create some orbs and/or get special or heavy ammo more often... the ammo perks can pair really well with a first slot exotic primary (no energy ammo) weapon... because getting kills in a row with a primary kinetic exotic increases the chances to spawn heavy ammo bricks with the helmet mod. I hope some of these tips help! If you have any questions or need more specific help feel free to ask!
You said “this doesn’t make any sense”. Nah this is bungo you’re talking about it makes complete sense for them. Only bungo can still have day one issues after 6 years. They should’ve just named the expansion destiny 3 then they really could use the day one excuse.
Free to play players aren't keeping the lights, on putting food the table for hard working devs, or supporting the game to find new and exciting content. Why should they get a free pass?
how is it you believe that they can increase their player base? Surely you can admit that having 70% of the people who try your game quit before completing a single nightfall is bad. insanely bad considering how easy and low power level adept nightfall's use to be. The recent difficulty changes will only make that worse... but locking the already really limited powerful reward options for f2p or new players behind stuff they dont have... it makes no sense. You have to make it easy and fun to play your game at the start... or they will just leave. And before you say it, we do in fact need new players... or the game dies and nobody gets lights or food.
I just got the game for ps5 since it was free ,I played the 1st way back when, but I think the whole pay wall is very annoying because the single dlc is $50 but even if they dropped the price it would still just be pay to win. I think they should instead make dropped items in the world have the surge abilities like when you can grab knight swords and use them for a short moment,but instead you can grab a elemental pickup and use it on enemy's counting towards the challenge having the dlc though will give you a upper hand in the challenges

Outgoing, and your super has to match one of them at the end of the match :)

shot in the dark, but maybe someone see's it and sends some love to the new players out there and fixes these issues.
This why I'm here 👀
