I miss simple Vanguard Operations
There used to be a playlist of Vanguard operations that you could just play. It was matchmade, the strikes were chosen, and you just played. The matchmade Proving Grounds for Call to Arms was the closest thing we’ve had to “just play”.
Now, I either have to specifically assemble each person through fireteam Finder (which won’t happen), or I have to add a bunch of modifiers to do it solo which is not fun at all. Otherwise I get a bad a grade and it’s a waste of my time.
CAN WE JUST PLAY? What happened to that?
I signed on today and collected my 1% rewards. Then I thought to myself “there’s nothing to do.” And signed off.
How do you expect to bring any players back like this? Make regular matchmade vanguard operations doable and rewarding. Something you can just do now.

Called Vanguard Alerts in 2 weeks.

I definitely agree.

I do miss strikes. Don't get me wrong, Fireteam Ops are fine, I enjoy them well enough, but I can miss Strikes, too. If we remove loot Tiers from the equation, I'm not sure I enjoy the current system more than the previous system, maybe that's just me. Strikes were fun, low stakes, just jump in with randos and blast the hell out of anything that moved. I miss the more casual friendly elements of D2; now I'm LL500, trying to play on Ultimate, and getting my butt handed to me on the regular - which would be fine! Were it not for the absence of an alternative. Maybe I'll do some quickplays later. It's not like I need the loot or anything, it would just be fun to jump in like old times.

I don't know why they think that Destiny should be something like "souls" games.

1 ReplyWorld based Vanguard operations already had difficulty modifiers. Launch method from worlds already exists. Launch menu at start already exists. Mod system is the only new element and that can be easily added. As stated in many a post, game exists without Portal. Portal just moves them into a new menu with preselected mods that rotate. It is copied code. The new drop system and light level control within Portal removed consistency for no reason. I would cheer the day this “feature” is removed.

I don't think they've touched upon it but it's the only thing I care about in Renegades; being able to earn decent rewards through a streamlined experience that is balanced as a daily activity. Right now we have to fiddle with stuff just to get some rewards at our own level and outside of perhaps solo ops it quickly becomes an old GM. Pinnacles have become more or less unplayable for fun -because everything hits like a truck and the traverse sections alone might send you to orbit, because of the revive modifier we cant inactiviate.

Vanguard alerts will be that I think. I too miss the simplicity which ironically, the Portal has done the opposite of fostering.

Agree . Also sometimes pretty mindless like mayhem in the crucible tab . My brain aches when I look at the different game modes that cycle in to the old crucible director screen every week.

Sooo just select the matchmade options for any of the other options available. The only difference between most of them and Proving grounds is that they rotate daily which ones are available. Just play.

Hoping that’s what the new vanguard ops are. I’m going to see if the nightfall this week is a good way to get enhancement prisms as well 🤔 I’m broke AF after rebuilding some of my pre edge of fate builds with the new armor systems.
