I’ll give you an example of tangible, gameplay related power fantasy I experienced in the first week, soloing to 348:
The first week of modifiers for the heroic strike playlist featured solar burn. I had obtained an upgraded(higher light) Celestial nighthawk. I que’d into the Heroic strike playlist with some excellent randoms(one of which I recruited and raided with later), got to the end of the Arms Dealer. We killed Bracus Zahn before the elevator reached the top...
This was a fight that had previously been fairly long and challenging, even before the changes to heroic strikes. Try it yourself. A part of that power fantasy was the fact that I had played that content before, giving me a significant reference point by which to judge how I had progressed. Even at lower light levels, there is plenty Power fantasy to be accessed.
There is a longer grind now, Believe it or not even those who take part in cooperative play are hitting similar soft caps, they are just reaching higher light by taking part in MORE content. I’d think that you are wrong about horizontal progression as well. A weapon like the sleeper simulant(which can be obtained solo), is an incredibly powerful weapon that can be used in all content.
You can dismiss all of this if it serves you, but time is one of the largest contributing factors to why I believe that this SOLO player controversy, is an erroneous way of thinking.
It is only been two weeks. There is plenty of content in the game that doesn’t require max light level, or even high light level... As it stands one of the only activities that requires extreme light level is the new raid activity. I am baffled as to how someone so intelligent can rationalize that things have changed so much, to warrant another riot on these forums...
It’s all just a toxic need for people to break off into factions, in war with each other. As far as I’m concerned it’s the same shit different day. Personally, I don’t need digital validation by way of me having light level that other people don’t have. I don’t care what level you are anyone else is, no matter how they play, solo or cooperative, or competitive for that matter.
That’s why I made sure to say, if you have suggestions on what kind of endgame content could be added for solo players, I am 100% behind you, Anything else is just More mindless, divisive drivel littering these forums.
Again, same shit different day.
