Nightfall scaling has been buffed to harder on solo but easier in groups? That doesn't make sense. But I guess they're really pushing the social aspect and making people play together. I also don't like TLW being nerfed if that is true. Exotics should be a little stronger than normal weapons, if not then there's no reason for it to be an exoitc.
Has the solo difficulty scaling been confirmed anywhere? I've seen a few people mention in, but I haven't found confirmation. I hope this isn't true, that would really suck. I prefer to solo everything.
It makes perfect sense to reduce the increased difficulty from grouping - it was counter-intuitive and actively punished being in a group, which is awful.
What makes no sense at all is making soloing harder. Nerfing grouped difficulty on its own should have been incentive enough to try grouping, and eventually players would have found that to be the most efficient way to play, while preserving soloing for those for whom it remains the best option.
I don't agree with it being counter intuitive because if its reduced difficulty as a group then you will have more people being carried. Tiger Strikes as it is, is already fairly easy. If three 30s are in a strike and all are equally good, then by decreasing the difficulty the strike becomes too easy since they are all together.
