Please allow us to run vanguard strikes alone.

Going to avoid having to tell a story here, so I'll keep it short and sweet. I am beyond tired of running the vanguard strike playlist (non-nightfall) and having to chase kills and keep up with players that are just trying to speed-run the entire strike. I'm not knocking players who like to do this, but sometimes it would be nice to continue through a strike without being pulled into the next arena by someone skating through the entire thing. Please consider adding a solo-strike option so players who want to run those alone can do so.

  • Honestly I would love to see a high level enemy appear and kill your teammates that rush up a head. like in games like L4D so people have to stick together to finish strikes. I can't stand people who like to rush strikes. Just listen to some tunes and kill enemies no need to ruin it for everyone else.

    • Also, it would help the solo player complete their ridiculous bounties.

    • Soloing strikes would fix the bounty issue but I’d prefer for them to make the bounties fireteam wide so I can play the actual strike and not just load into it solo and farm a lost sector.

    • Or... you get loaded in, halfway through the strike and have to play catch up.

      • Until they do that.. & if youre on ps4 or ps5.. You can firewall yourself from other players by changing your date and time. When I do that I just swap it to the year 2000 & dont have to worry about anyone being thrown into a lobby w me

      • Not having optional matchmaking is the easiest game flaw that can be fixed in a few days. It's not hard not to expensive or time taking, they just blatantly refuse. And Bungo has gotten several community awards, than again who take those award shows serious anyway.

        At the very least it would be nice to see a change in the bounties so killing specific bosses and enemies or with specific elements are no longer required and progress is shared fireteam wide even with randoms so you don't get stiffed for 12 strikes straight and still don't get the bounties done. I also have been hoping for years now that we'd get actual burns back like we had in D1 to make things I dunno, fun again. More enemies, double elemental damage, small arms, specialist, the works. D1 strikes were super fun to farm even when I had nothing left to do cause I could throw on even the worst weapons in the game and those modifiers made them fun to use. I could change my load out frequently and it wouldn't matter. And the strike loot was also just nice to have. I didn't fully realise at the time I was taking all that cosmetically pleasing gear for granted till now after years of no updated strike loot and what we even had in the first place being "meh" at best. So much needs to be done to strikes its not funny and I'm 110% sure someone at Bungie has already thought of all this but nobody else cares apparently. And people think PvP has it bad... [spoiler]that was a joke, calm down. I know PvP isn't faring well either.[/spoiler]

      • I blame all these little pecker-heads who watch you tube videos that show easy ways to destroy everything in seconds. This kind of post has been submitted many times before, including players who want to complete heroic public events, and reading a lot of replies, there are some good suggestions, but always falls on deaf ears. However, Bungie are fast enough to make changes when a lost sector can be glitched or a chest can be obtained easily from a raid.

          • While I agree with the idea of Firewall strikes, I think the rationale of many players is poor. The excuse I constantly hear is that players are speedrunning the strike and you can't keep up. As someone who tries to play as efficiently as possible, I have 2 counter-arguments to that: 1) If someone wants to run ahead, doesn't that allow you to kill the adds they ran past for bounties? 2) At least from my experience, I try to speedrun strikes, but also typically end up with the most kills for the strike by a very large margin, I am very unsympathetic to a player that wants to play extremely passively.

          • I like the idea of having the bounties be fireteam based rather than solo strikes. They did great with iron banner with that. It didn't matter what step you were on the whole team helped each other. This was a couple seasons ago.

          • Are you on PC? If so look up ‘destiny solo enabler” download that app on your PC and you can turn it on if you want to run anything solo and off if you want to matchmake.

          • I think this would be nice, but it also could make it more difficult to find a fireteam in the regular playlist since people wanting to complete bounties would always just play the solo version unless they need completions for something. In addition to adding a solo playlist, they should add a few more enemies to strikes so there are more things to kill, some of which may be optional, and they should bring back strike specific loot with a scoring system and the skeleton key system from d1 year 3 so you get a higher chance at a skeleton key the higher your score, and you need to have contributed to a certain amount of score in order to get a skeleton key as well as have the option to open the chest, so players can't just afk and do nothing, but also will be encouraged to contribute to getting a higher score instead of just speedrunning, and if you really need kills on your own then you can use the solo playlist, BUT this playlist won't be as good for strike specific loot since you may not get as a high a score and it will take longer. Yeah this is basically part of my wishlist for strikes, in addition to more modifiers in the rotation, an extra modifier active at a time (giving us the singe, one good modifier, one bad modifier, and one neutral modifier), more strikes in the pool, and a rank system like the one they are adding/enhancing for crucible and gambit next season.

          • Is this a real thing? You can't get 5 grenade kills, 30 auto rifles kills, 10 rocket kills, 25 smg kills, etc in a strike? I mean I'm not Glad or Sweatcicle but I can manage 30 kills in a strike.

          • Chasing kills... Have you considered that the person killing everything is a monster in PvE? Because I've done strikes where I got over 200 kills and the randos in a fireteam just sat back and watched the chaos. Secondly speedrunners... I only do this when the people are afk. I run ahead and die in a darkness zone pulling them forward. They respawn and more than likely die to adds and due to inactivity in ghost form. Kicked and replaced with people who are there.

            • I usually just load up a 1250 nightfall and get most of my bounties done there. Cant get all of them done but most of them.
