It doesn't need to be designed around solo players to the detriment of those who want to go in as a preset team. But equally they KNOW large percentages of folks do want that. The sensible solution is to make it win/win and whether you look at 95% of Seals, key weapon quests like Outbreak, Divinity, Whisper, Trials and it's loot, Raids and their loot, Dungeons and their loot, Clan rewards for doing nothing, Pinnacle rewards via Heroic to Master all out of the reaches of solo-play it's a WIN/LOSE scenario in these key areas. Those things compromise a lot more than 10% of the game - they are a sizeable chunk of Destiny2's development.

You can do the dungeon solo. Clans are easily joined and you can be a solo player and still in a clan. You can do most seals solo. Less than 10% of this games content requires a team. There’s stuff for solo players and there’s stuff for teams.

  • No you can't do most seals Solo: no to Flawless, Enlightened, Shadow, Blacksmith, Rivensbane, Curse breaker at minimum. Aside from past and current cheeses Outbreak is extremely tough to do solo, and Divinity can not be done. Whisper obviously can but for average players is extremely tough as it has an absence of scaling for one player and it could and should have. Same with Dungeons - they're not comparable - what is easy- medium for a preset fireteam to do is many, many times harder solo : there is no scaling. As I said Raids, Quests, many Seals, Dungeons, Trials and Heroic-Master levels are a significant part of development offering some key loot out of the reaches Solo-play. That could be better worked out but it's likely it's a trade-off, a deliberate Win/lose on the calculation that it benefits revenue that way.

That’s more than half the seals in the game. There’s content designed around team play. It’s a multiplayer game. More than 90% of the game doesn’t need a premade fire team. Stop whining about not being able to solo everything. [spoiler]Scaling exists in the game. It’s called Delta scaling. At the moment Delta scaling is bugged in the whisper mission and makes players take 2% damage. If that’s how all scaling worked in the game, old content would have no replay able value. [/spoiler]

  • Sorry dude no one is whining but you're being ignorant. Repeating a blatant falsehood that 90% of the game can be done solo does not remotely make it so. Raids, Quests, many Seals at least six, Dungeons, Trials and Heroic-Master levels is way, way more than 10% of content and especially of importance in Destiny 2. These are just facts.

You can solo nightfalls, dungeons, whisper, outbreak and more then half of the seals in the game. Very few activities require a team. It’s a multiplayer game. It’s to be expected that you would need other people for a few activities.
