Seriously, why aren't we allow to solo raids?

[プレロマンス]

I've got no bros, and even I had back then I was too frustrated from them making mistakes

why couldnt just make up AI players playing alone with you or have the certain mechanism automatically solved when you are playing alone, and you can switch roles every time you play which increase game replayablity and add a sense of exploration to the game bc each time you are playing the raids you are doing new approaches.

Because the entire point of Raids is a team experience that rewards you with some of the best loot in the game.

[RYZEN]

use the d2 companion app and jump in raids with people like yourself anytime

[Goosetave]

The problem is that it's near impossible to have a challenging experience for 6 players that can't be cheesed, and also have it be soloable. There's been segments of some raids that could be soloed, but never the whole thing.

Raids are a team based experience and not a solo experience, if you don't want to play as a team then you don't belong in raids (No offensive/hard feelings towards you, this also doesn't count for being a solo player that does want to go in and actually play as a team with others). Raids are raids and not glorified strikes.

AI players literally won't work because it's inferior to people with communication. And no, dumping AI players into something so you can sit back and relax while the AI is supposed to do everything for you is not how raids work or how they are supposed to work.

Find a team or a clan (Trough whatever means/way) and play it how it's supposed to be.

Luckily for you, a ingame LFG system is coming when light fall drops.. But only if you want to put in the effort.

Doing raid solo? Sure, im all for it. No loot though, that should be reserved to teams.

I've been saying for awhile that we should have easier versions of the raids so everyone can experience them, and they could make them like Nightfalls and Trials with adept loot for people that run the "proper" version.

The difficulty is intrinsic to the experience though, without it Raids would just be boring and yet another mind numbing activity in this game, as it stands Raids are the only really stimulating activity to me.

the whole point is its a team thing...how is that hard to understand?

This, emphasis on team. If you want solo raid go to d1 and do crota

If you could solo Raids, then the mechanics would have to be made in such a way that they either take longer if you do it solo but are easier, and thus they are childishly easy if you do it with multiple people.

Imagine the difficulty of VOTD or KF being on the level of VOG. Vault is a better strike, the Duality dungeon is harder than Vault of Glass, as is doing any Grandmaster Nightfall.

You can't quite rework most of the puzzles too in order to make them Solo-possible, due to the abovementioned fact - you can see this fact in Strikes and Public Events and Seasonal Events. They are challenging to do solo or with 2 people, but with 6 people, you instantly steamroll through the content like its nothing, sometimes you dont even need to do anything at all because people carry way too hard.

Now think about KF being solo-able, by changing all the mechanics so they can be done solo. It would be cool and "wow so cool wow much pretty very gud" for solo players but a raid team of 6 first timers who never did any raid and just installed Destiny would World Record the Raid with everyone going flawless and one shotting Oryx.

That or as I said, you need to change the mechanics to take longer. Which means a solo player would have no issue beating the puzzles and encounters, but they would take extremely long... and 6 stacks of people would still rush through them way easier and faster.

[Funkymonkey(GER)]

where is the problem? Vault of glass can be done solo. Just watch some guides and do it yourself...

Or you could go to LFG and try every role possible in each enounter

We already have harder versions of the 3 newest Raids that drop adept loot. Normal mode for regular drops, Master mode for more difficulty and adept guns when doing the weekly challenge.

That's literally the way it is in the game right now. Once Day One Contest Mode ends, raids become easy. Literally anyone can find a group in the Bungie phone app or on the discord lfg server and do a raid. Seriously, people, it's not as hard as you think.

I did kinda forget master raids were a thing but I still think we need easier mm versions of raids or more activities like Preservation, not everyone wants to raid.
