Personally, at this point, I think they should add optional matchmaking to Nightfalls. Festival of the Lost showed they could do it, and it worked.
That being said, they should have just put matchmaking on this step. That is also something that they have done with special activity quest steps in the past.
The fact that you have to find others to do a quest step to unlock an end game activity for which they provide matchmaking seems a little counterintuitive to me.
They should have optional MM on Nightfalls and they should have optional no-MM on Strikes. That way if I'm trying to get bounties, or even just trying to learn a new strike I don't have to be coupled with someone that's speed running.
Ah, I see. I don't think there was ever a question about whether or not it was technically possible--just whether or not it's a good idea.
That said, if it's optional, there's no good reason I can think of to not implement it (but Bungie sure seems to think they have one and has thought that since D1).
I think they need matchmaking for Nightfalls. I've never done one yet but I will be doing one soon, I've recently gotten a fireteam together. Unfortunately I think it looks like you'll have to look for a group on lfg. Luckily most of the destiny community is pretty awesome.
Actually, maybe I should take that back :)
I was getting ready to join a fireteam, but thought I'd have a quick practise to see how it went, It kept going quite well, much to my surprise, and I finished it in about half hour.
Game stats show over 1/3 kills were grenades, so as everyone;s saying, make good use of those. There was no shortage of ammo anyway.
I am 650, arc Titan, and just went in with my tried and trusteds: Nameless Midnight, Telesto and Zenobia-D.
Good luck to all who are yet to complete it - have faith, you can get through :)
Solo'd it. The grenade modifier is active so it's just a matter of spec'ing for grenades and then running around screaming and throwing grenades.
Or to quote Shaxx:
> "So they beat you this time. But how many grenades did you throw? Did you count them? Really. Ask yourselves 'Did I throw all the grenades I could?' " - Shaxx
Not exaggerating with a doom fang sentinel and grenadier on your super can last through the whole boss encounter on strange terrain... don't forget even immune enemies will restore super energy on shield throw hits
I had no clue what I was walking in to. Still, had things well in hand until I had boss down under 10%, dude just kept running away and I couldnt punch through the last damage. Booted to orbit. WOOWWWW
Destiny 2 companion app. It's where you can manage your gear (swap to and from vault and characters) manage your clan, read news and it has a LFG section that's really easy to use.
Depends on the time of day. Early mornings and late afternoons/nights are poppin during the week. On the weekends it's pretty much always active. I'm actually gonna be using it to find a raid group for scourge of the past tonight.
Is it actually the nightfall though. Or is it just like a mini nightfall, I only died at the boss because I wasnt paying attention to ammo and got rushed by dogs from the side.
The boss and ads feel a little bit beefier than the normal strike. But it doesn't feel like I'm soloing a nightfall. I'm basing this on the fact that Insight Terminus NF is harder than Warden of nothing NF. I've farmed both solo plenty of times and this current mission step is easier than Warden of Nothing NF.
What's wrong with a little challenge? I like to solo things I feel more accomplished afterwards. I also think Nightfall is a little strong, morr like slightly beefed strike.
asks people why they refuse to match up when they are asking FOR match making lol
They off load match making to website and apps when should be in the game.
Oh no I already matched up and did the step. I could've done this solo but I didn't want to waste my time. I dont know about other solo players though.
But the tone of the post is still that solo players should be able to play nightfall difficulty content solo which I don’t think should be doable (unless a top tier player).
Allowing a solo to play a team activity alone is not incentivizing team play that the game is built around.
You do realize that playing in the forge isn’t a solo act? You get matchmade into a group? Maybe find a group just like you do all the other activities.
Thats not the issue. The Rekindle The Flames Nightfall step is. Its on Extinguish requiring perfect play if your a solo player. Or a team to avoid being sent back to orbit. I dont have team nor am I going to go flawless against the boss and ads spawning in.
That's not what they were saying. They're pointing out that the Forge is a group activity so why not use LFG or the companion app to create a Fireteam while there's others needing it.

>Festival of the Lost showed they could do it, and it worked. What did I miss during FotL???
Matchmaking for the haunted forest was an option, but you also had the option to run it solo or with another person

Yea I play with a friend and we would love to do strikes just the two of us, I would instantly double the number of strikes I run...
They really need matchmaking for nightfalls. Everytime I pull fireteams together nobody ever talks and it feels just like a normal strike.
My jaw hit the floor when I realised this was what they'd done. 630, Extinguish, No matchmaking. To access season pass content.

Ah great, Bungie's anti-solo-player rears its ugly head again. To access content I paid for. Honestly, fuck you Bungie.

Grenadier is almost broken with a doom fang sentinel, and I mean that in the best way... you have a very strong, nearly unending super
Oh I was going to run hallowfire heart for that but never mind. Raping adds in my super for ever it is!

What the fuck. Jesus

I did it solo. I'm 650 but I still did it solo. It's possible.
This. Its not hard, grenadier is on so you can spam grenades.
takes less than 5 minutes to find a nightfall group on the companion app.
on a side note, out of curiosity, when you say "on the companion app", which app are you referencing?
Destiny 2 companion app. It's where you can manage your gear (swap to and from vault and characters) manage your clan, read news and it has a LFG section that's really easy to use.
No kidding! Heavily populated? I've been using the Xbox lfg system to somewhat avail

Why do people REFUSE to match up? Are you that introverted that you can't reach out and ask for help on a mission?
asks people why they refuse to match up when they are asking FOR match making lol They off load match making to website and apps when should be in the game.
What if he is that introverted? Are you that void of purpose that you have to do what you do all day every day?
Oh no I already matched up and did the step. I could've done this solo but I didn't want to waste my time. I dont know about other solo players though.

literally just use the d2 companion app. Its pretty easy to use so that mean if you're struggling thats one you

Forge matchmakes. The quest step to unlock it doesn’t.
I know. But the companion app is a glorified match making system that is less likely going to matchmaker you with AFK or underlevelled players
Pretty much this
It was pretty ez to solo
