Inexperienced players stuck for hours in Nightfall activities.
Hello, today I went to do a Nightfall in the easiest difficulty because it was helping a new light and then the seeker put us in a game already underway, but what surprised me was that when I entered the game, the only player there was a new light and he was more than 1hour and 40 minutes in the match.(I recorded the gameplay to check the total time of the match)
So I decided to do a test, lowered my power below 2000, equip parts with power 1900, which I have in my safe and I went to do the same Nightfall, then the search engine put me with players of equivalent power between 1930 and 1960
I tested 3 matches and in all 3, the players were below the required power, alone and in two of these matches, these players in it for about 1 to 2 hours in the match, without any stronger player enter.
Don’t know if it’s intentional, but it seems to me that the searchers are only pairing players with equivalent power, leaving "New Light" players stuck for hours in these activities, just like it happened in Xur’s activity from the birthday pack.

1 ReplyIt's far worse than you imagine. Ever since lightfall most of the seasonal stuff is 2010-2020, so you get 3 guys going in at 1950 & just dying over & over & over. No wonder people give up. Savathuns spire was particularly brutal, champions, arc burn with hundreds of enemies shooting arc at you, no cover, hive guardians, & they match you into it as soon as the season started, 3 guys 50 under power together. I'm not a new player, just on a new account, & I started last seasons quest yesterday, I got by under level & it's painful & then midway they make you run that long exotic quest, I did it solo because I've done it hundreds of times so I knew were to go & what to do but new or low level players won't have a clue. I tried enigma protocol too, it sends you in there at 1950, it's 2040, that's pinnacle cap +30, there's almost 0 players that high lol. Literally guys dying at the start over & over & over. I watched 1 guy using a pulse on a barrier champ, he'd shoot it & then it would regen, repeat. He used supers, rockets, & after 10 mins it was still full health & fully shield. I was waiting to see if he adapted but he never did. I killed it when someone joined & we finished in 50 mins. He got 40 kills, in 50 mins.
