Solo Ops reusing locations is actually great. There are so many spaces that have only ever been used a handful of times or haven’t been relevant in years.
Just glad they’re utilizing older areas. I was thinking about it the other day, but there’s multiple parts of the EDZ, Nessus and Dreaming City that have no content that uses them. Mainly because the content in those areas got removed.
Removing the red war allows them to make good content to put into those spaces as opposed to the terrible campaign they were originally hosting. The destiny circlejerk swung rapidly in the last five years where people are now claiming that the red war campaign was good
@@Jereb343 bro just bc the Red War campaign wasn't game of the year Worthy, its not a valid reason to remove it from the game.. I couldn't care less for the curse of Orisis and the rest of the vaulted content, the original campaign should still be in the game to serve as a point of entry for new players.
The pale heart location shows that Bungie has been making a ton of engine upgrades behind the scenes for a long time. The fact that the Overthrow events are randomized in order and can be both solo and multiplayer shows that. All of the Blacksmith locations are still in the game, they could use those, and a ton of empty space in Nessus, tons of space on Throne World, where you never do anything at all besides just standard chest and other farming.
Much preferred running solo lost sectors rather than having to burn through so many resources to rank up Rahool. Finally got my first exotic helmet this Episode for my Hunter and of course it had a crummy low roll after focusing to unlock it. Personally feel further removed from gameplay with higher level content requiring fireteam. Solo Ops if loot is rewarding enough sounds right up my alley. Not into overly complicated time trial puzzle dungeons and raids. Have not participated much at all in them since most of my clan no longer plays and I can't be arsed to LFG on potential terrible situation for hours.
as a 90% solo the last few years, the #1 thing i'd like from destiny is to lean more into solo experiences. This is fantastic news for me. but we'll see how the implementation goes. It kinda just sounds like strikes to me. The key will be, can you get endgame level loot from it as a solo (with matching high challenge level of course)? I doubt Bungie will take it that far because, bungo. Commented it before but, WoW has been evidently leaning into solo content, and they recently set a new concurrent user high across all formats after all these years.
I think using older areas that are definitely still in the game that some people haven't even seen before us a great idea. I'll do little missions a little longer than lost sectors/patrols. Sounds like a good time honestly
Reminds me of 1) D1 when you would go inside the wall, and that Captain mini boss would randomly come crawling out of the water pipe. 2) The Infinite Forest’s faux-procedural-generation. 3) Adventures. Which early on in the game had certain unique Blue drops. Some of which were better than their legendary counterparts. If solo ops are Adventures re-worked… Win. Although, technically, Adventures already returned with Final Shape… unlock the subclass items
I hate that I can't just use my favorite weapons in end game content because of champions and element buffs. Hopefully this helps add an area to the game where I don't have to use a solar handcannon if I don't want to. Never enjoyed being bored into a loadout type.
One silly thing that I always kinda loved is when they use familiar mission geometry, but have you run it backwards (like that one D1 strike in the black garden). I also love the idea of using some of the old raid spaces that many players have never seen. I hope we get some of that in these solo ops.
Destiny needs to embrace the idea of optional matchmaking with all their activities (sans raids). But, everything else should be playable, just lower the difficulty. They'd keep and attract more players if this was the case.
I mean, that already exists, the only activities that don't have that really are dungeons, raids, and some exotic missions. The other ones usually have an easier difficulty that's matchmade, like nightfalls, onslaught, ect...
Yes, put the armor back, it was fun to farm, if they’re doing the new system to prevent engram holding I get it, but the solution is just to wipe engrams
the dynamic enemy spawning could be a huge improvement if it was able to be rolled out in other activities, imagine strikes feeling vastly different between playthroughs due to more or less enemies, or enemies in areas you've never experienced them before
Im pretty shocked at the lack of love for Savathuns Throne World. We need gambit and pvp themed maps, but im assuming Savvy making a return will be coming in a future season.
New exotic armors should just go back to being random world drops. Who wants to grind their face on the same dead, crappy lost sectors filled with their terrible gimmick Champions over and over and over and over again.
I don't want to go back to exotics being locked behind lost sectors, I hated running those. But I also don't like the current system with the Rahol. Maybe have the his reputation determined by lost sector completions, with higher tiers giving more progress. Then there is still a reason to do lost sectors but not having the exotics locked behind rng. You could even make it lore friendly that you are looking for lost relics for Rahol or something.
So, the solo ops have dynamic difficulty... Unless there's a lot of randomness and unpredictability to it, it will be 100% exploitable and players will manipulate it to have it easy. Common example: The last of us drops more ammo if you're running low on it and drops almost none if you have a lot. What the player can do is, when they're low on ammo, kill enemies without picking up the ammo drops, so the game keeps thinking you need ammo and drops more and more. At the end you pick all of it up and you're overflowing with it.
Notice how casual the game is getting guys... soon they'll be a place where you can spend an hour and get every powerful weapon in the game and reach pinnacle light at one time 😊
Sorry! I missed some this "thing's" videos! Gotta remind it what a journalist is!... and that it pretends to be one. As a foolish man once said - "You use private windows to look at NSFW, I use it to look at a "journalist's" shit takes without polluting my search algorithm"
Destiny has badly needed some procedural generation for years. Unfortunately this news is hard to enjoy because it's Bungie and it feels like it'll get Monkey Pawed to death.
So this is just what they be doing.. ok.. where are the children going to go when this gets hard.. I just do not understand.. Bungie,, you are unable. Upsetting.

Europa would be a great ops locations to open new locations
New exotic armour should never have been taking out of lost sectors, used to love doing them each season for the armour.
agree
I heard you wiped an Onslaught by blowing yourself with up with Prospector.
Edit: My comment was false and i got rekt by the truth.
I’ve done it as well. Those damn ether sprites
What
Where
I’ve heard that as well
And bungie roasted him😂
Bungie: we'll delete the Red war campaign
Also Bungie: why are people aren't playing in areas where the Red war took place?

Been waiting 5 years for procedural spawns and for them to actually fully utilise all those beautiful one use spaces they wasted. Finally.

On EDZ there are areas from Red War you can still go to but people don't go to them cause there is no reason.

Sounds like a good change for solo players and comes off the back of the Rising announcement to also offer quicker Destiny gameplay.

This just sound like a heroic adventures playlist with some updates
This sounds perfect for me who mainly plays solo
Can they allow us to unlock exotic class items from solo ops? Maybe add a new exotic class item we can earn without a 2 player mission?
Solo Ops would have to have INCREDIBLY high drop rates and VERY valuable rewards for me to be interested. I mean at all.
These might revolutionize the game.

Paul, you gotta remember you don't NEED specific guns for champs, you can stun champs with abilities too lol
They're less nightmare dungeons and more Delves from the new WoW expansion. You should look into that.

Thats not how it works now. What are you even talking about?
@@FlashesSoccer011 that's how it did work and Paul hinted that he might prefer that. What are you even talking about?
Any chance they add exotic class items as a reward? I swear I will redownload the game once I can get them…
Congrats on the kid!!! You can now use Dad rifles. ☺

It's called solo normal campaign. Clear a checkpoint in 15 minutes.

The hyperbolic time chamber. 🫴🏾💯
Address the Prospector allegations Paul
Solo Class Items. Please Please Please
What's this about blowing yourself up with Prospector 💀
Lol rekt
Are you hating on solo ops already Paul 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
Sorry! I missed some this "thing's" videos! Gotta remind it what a journalist is!... and that it pretends to be one.
As a foolish man once said -
"You use private windows to look at NSFW, I use it to look at a "journalist's" shit takes without polluting my search algorithm"
Solo but not solo...
Dear bungie: please just make left 4 dead
Destiny has badly needed some procedural generation for years. Unfortunately this news is hard to enjoy because it's Bungie and it feels like it'll get Monkey Pawed to death.
There's no way this man said he likes running so lost sectors. I would rather watch paint dry and take 50 lashings
Hehehe, you keep losing subs !
So this is just what they be doing.. ok.. where are the children going to go when this gets hard.. I just do not understand.. Bungie,, you are unable. Upsetting.
