Destiny 2: Solo players feel unfairly treated and discriminated against by Bungie at Christmas

In Destiny 2 there is trouble over a modifier in the new activity “The Coil,” which is perceived as “unfair to solo players.” The frustration is high at Christmas.

What bothers the Guardians at Christmas?

• With the “Season of the Witch,” a new seasonal activity came to Destiny 2: “The Coil.”
• For solo players, the activity is a true highlight; with some “rogue-lite” elements, it promises replayability and a challenge. Overall, the activity is praised by the Destiny community.
• The Coil is also a pleasant activity for “normal players,” where one can gradually improve and contribute. Especially for solo players, it represents a welcome change and motivation. But there is a catch.

Hate modifier ruins players’ Christmas in Destiny 2

What is the catch? A random modifier is also active in the activity. And for Christmas, that’s “Togetherness” with the weekly reset on December 26.

The modifier causes health regeneration to be reduced unless one stays close to a team member.

However, if one goes into the activity solo, it means that one cannot properly regenerate health, making the activity completely unnecessary, laborious, cruel, indeed almost unplayable for solo players.

This is the complaint: For a Reddit user, the situation showing that this modification is active right at Christmas indicates that Bungie simply does not care about the actual game.

The modifier punishes solo players and discriminates against them. All other modifiers are sensible and okay, but “Togetherness” breaks the game for solo players.

Players agree: Modifier is annoying, buggy, needs to go

What others say: Overall, “Togetherness” seems to be an absolute hate object in Destiny 2. Even in a team, it’s said to be a “crappy modifier” on Reddit.

The modifier feels frustrating and buggy, even when one stands next to team members, it seems like health regeneration takes forever to kick in.

One user explains: The modifier is actually buggy; you’ll only be rid of it when you take damage while standing next to a team member.

In any case, it seems that Bungie is playing the Grinch here at Christmas.
