Class Exotic Items

[ScoldExperiment]

Is it just me, or the amount of effort and grind needed for this is just borderline ridiculous ?

I haven't even tried it because I have no one to try it with, but watching a video about the steps to take to even get the mission is just weird.

Even worse, completing the mission with someone else is MANDATORY. Like, Bungie, please, I'm a solo player, enough with the coop focused missions.

Co-op game or not it still should be optional to play with others.

It is optional. You just don't get all the things if you don't play with others.

Dual destiny is a cool mission and a good thing for the game. Putting the exotic class items in the mission as the only way to get them wasn't. I'm totally fine with raid / dungeon / etc locked gear, but the class item was something a lot of people were excited to see and I personally think this was the wrong way to bring them in. They can make the mission have exclusive rewards, just not the class items.

This. Nobody makes you play the game, but the developers should be able to design the game they want to design.

The irony of you calling other people self absorbed... Think whatever you want man but burying your head in the sand isn't going to make this go away. Just kinda weird that you'd be hardline debating on something that doesn't even concern you.

You're right, there will always be more people wishing they are Kirito, and have "special unique skills" that allow them to solo literal 40 man raid bosses.

But the fact will always remain : this is real life and MMOs don't cater to a single person. There will always be group content that requires grouping up to succeed. And there will always be rewards behind that content.

So you can keep posting about it, hasn't changed in 25 years.

You'll never be Kirito, it's an anime. No game designer would make an MMO and give a single player a special skill that allows him to solo group content. That's not how you make games. That's called poor plot.

And they should be allowed to make concessions to their playerbase if they want to and yet here we are... arguing absolutely nothing for what reason?

There's plenty of solo content in D2 already. That's your concession. Why are you asking more ? Just use any other Exotic armor you can solo.

The whole kirito thing is a juvenile insult and yet you keep with it. I'm not even going to engage you anymore because you are wrong and you know it. It's why you are editing your posts. Like I said you are tripping. Have a nice day and try not to worry about what other people are doing.

It's not an insult at all, it's an observation. People see SA:O, think "hey that looks cool being all 'I can solo everything in an MMO!'" and then try to replicate it in real life MMOs.

You're neither the first nor the last to have this "I am a solo player" issue. Lots of people have tried making it their personality over the years and then try to push MMO game devs to cater to their unrealistic expectations.

I'm right and you know it, that's what makes you so angry.

BTW, saying "don't worry what other people are doing" isn't going to change that what you're asking for is both unrealistic and game breaking. So yes, I will worry about it.

"Have you actually tried to solo Expert Breach ?

Private is more if you don't want Matchmaking but want to go in with your own fireteam."

In response to this quote..........the fact remains though that Expert mode still provides an OPTION to try solo. I haven't said it is possible, and certainly not by me. I was just pointing out it is a mode that allows the option. And to be fair, the matchmaking option still allows one to go in as a full team if they wish, which then negates any matching up so my point still stands, with respect.

No, your point doesn't stand, and not quoting me is kinda cowardly to try to get it accross.

Breach is just a mindless spammy seasonal activity too, not challenging content offering special rewards.

You can queue solo into Salvation's Edge too. Now go do it and let's hear how it went.
