Is people attempting them under equipped.
The single most common complaint I see in the [i]Nightfall is too hard for solo now[/i] threads is that people have to empty magazines into shields and still can't drop them.
Do people still not understand that one shot from a fully leveled special weapon will drop the shields if it has the same modifier?
Or is it that they know, they just are too lazy to get a full suite?
I had no problems with last weeks Nightfall, but was having a bitch of a time dropping the yellow solar Wizards yesterday. It wasn't because the game is too hard now, it was because I didn't have any solar damage weapons.
So rather than come on here and yell [i]DEEJ YOUR GAME IS BROKEN U SUCK[/i], I went and bought a solar weapon.
Yes, you [i]can[/i] do that.
Have tried it once so far and was able to get to stage 3 in the first sealed room with one Wizard left. Should've killed him too, but got too cavalier thinking I was through.
Took a couple heavy ammo synths to drop the other Wizards, but a solar rocket or 2 dropped their shields and then my Void Epitaph could finish them.
That was with unleveled weapons.
Haven't tried it again yet. I'm doing bounties to level up my weapons to drop them like butter because [i]that's how you're supposed to play this game[/i].
If you can't kill something (or someone in PvP), find better weapons or practice and get better.
TL;DR- Don't take a butter knife to a sword fight.

Don't use solar on wizards when void burn is on, use void damage deals 3x the damage.
-
Does carrying a level 25 through it count as soloing? He did revive me once lol. The only one I ever soloed was Askor the archon priest before the latest patches.

Would be nice to have matchmaking

I still did it Sylvester alone, with both Titan and warlock it just makes me sad to see how bad my weapons are while doing it, the difference I saw was instead of taking 45 to an hour 15 it 2-3 hours per character 2 for the lock 3 for the Titan and it was a grrrriiinddddddd

No there was an unintentional increase of difficulty the less players you had this week for some reason.
-
The nightfall got harder to solo? Didnt even notice lol
-
The problem is its not intended to be solo'd.
-
I attempted Nightfall solo with week. Beat it my first try. Easy. Good post.
-
You are correct. I never solo anything, because this is a team game, and I enjoy having a laugh when I play. But people do use the wrong weapons. Also a solo nightfall requires quite a high skill level and the ability to cover and shoot at the correct times. On another subject, why have you never completed the raid? Your missing out on a decent bit of gameplay. Give you a lot of great weapons for the nightfall. I got vex, gjallarhorn, tlw and hawkmoon in 1 raid this week.

I've had Light beware fusions drop in all flavors this past month. Nightfalls are much kinder now since I can drop the shields of an ultra and then switch to a primary or heavy to finish the job.
-
With the last huge patch there was a noticable change in the nightfall so some of them are understandable but you make a very good point. Too many people in this game attempt content that is too difficult for them because they lack proper weapons. I dont understand why so many people think armor is such a big deal, it is all about the weapons and the skill.
-
yeah I haven't noticed much of a difficulty increase, could be I have maxed weapons and lvl30's and I used to do it at lvl 27 with not maxed weapons so maybe it just feels the same to me :)
-
Even just using that's weeks burn makes it laughable. Corrective measure cuts through those wizards like so much paper. Don forget your grenades are affected by the burn, so a voidbro or bubbling Bernie can wreck. Huntards can use their solar class against wizards.
-
I own 3 of each type of dmg group of each weapon. 3 snipers 3 fusion 3 rocketlaunchers 3 chain guns It makes every run including nightfall MUCH MUCH easier.
-
Haven't been on for a few days due to work commitments but Nightfall usually has Arcburn so arc weapons are also very effective. But I do have to say having a pile o yellow wizards + hallowed knights was a serious challenge.
-
Wrong guy...fully leveled mythoclast..entire mag barely took wizards shield down..they -blam!-ed something up
-
Always be prepared ;)
-
I had two attempts yesterday at the nightfall and died at the end boss. I really like the difficulty soloing as most of the game is fairly easy. Will try beat it today
-
Hell they could use solar or void to deal with shields this week.

You are 100% percent correct! Thank your parents (not saying your a kid but you do have them) for me for giving you common sense.
