@snazzbox this is off topic but bungie definitely does not respect players time. Tbh they don’t really respect the players at all, they just greedy for money bc their game is falling apart

Time is irreverent. You tried to complete a simple test in the TT. Trickster Test mind you and you failed to complete it.

Sounds to me you still want to be rewarded for your failure at something that took....2...hours...solo.... 0-0"

Yeah, as everyone pointed or should of. Never go alone if your gonna be this stingy about losing over a game test of patience. No loot or reward for those who cry and demand to be given treasure.

@snazzbox you failed and you are not okay with that. Sorry but getting better is the actual strategy here. Now you know what is expected of you in the vault, better luck next time.

@captain-coel There’s a huge difference between not rewarding me for my time, and harshly punishing me for my time. I’m not looking for a reward. If you want to be dim witted about this, cool, but stay off my thread with it. “Duhhh..get gud scrub” is an invalid point. It’s not even a point. What I’m saying is that in no way should I have to replay the ENTIRE mission because I failed at the end. Midway through this same mission, I fought a whole swath of skeletons and died a handful of times. I didn’t have to replay the entire mission at that point. I respawned on my boat and went back to fighting the skeletons.

@snazzbox you could also opt to get better. Why does the game need to reward you for your time? It's not Rares fault you have to replay content.

@captain-coel I already opened the gate. Why would it close?

@closinghare208 I understand where you’re coming from, but a lot of people drop in to complaints like these and discount the issue. If you were really offering advice out of sincerity, then I can appreciate that. I also play Destiny, and Bungie had to learn what it meant to respect player’s time. Honestly, I can’t tell if this is a big or if it was intentional, but it needs desperately to be fixed because to have to replay 2 hours’ worth of content because of death at end, that’s like original NES-leveldesign mechanics that were left behind for good reason.

@scallywagmango @Snazzbox this is working as intended. The vault spawns 3 skellies at a time. There is fruit and ammo in there. Your key was used. How would you open the door with out a key?

@scallywagmango There are no checkpoints for those who choose the easy mode, there should not be for those who choose the hard mode.

@TargasBR It's a faulty system to have the TT fail if all members in the party die, especially on sloops. That's like saying a solo sloop running TT9 should have no checkpoints and once they die, the TT is over. Solo sloop is difficult, but some people prefer to play alone. You shouldn't need extra people to act as an extra life.

@scallywagmango

Solo Sloop is the hard mode, as Duo Sloop is the easy mode. The game was made to be just like that.

@TargasBR You should be allowed as a solo player to resume the vault if you die. The mission doesn't fail when one person dies in the vault with multiple people, so why should a solo player be only given one chance? Rare could easily fix this by restarting the vault like they do in TT9 if you fail.

I hope this Tall Tale gets fixed for the next time some weeks from now when I’ll have another chance to try it.

There is nothing to fix here, this Tall Tale is made to be just like that.

So, I’ve only recently been doing the Tall Tales (which I’ve really been enjoying) and today I decided to do the Art of the Trickster. I’m a solo player. Unfortunately, I died in the vault. Confused as to why the door was no longer open and wondering where my totem went upon respawn, I researched online, and my worst nightmare was confirmed. All the progress...my 2 or so hours of progress...was all for nothing. I don’t get much time to myself as a father and husband, let alone to play games, and to have all my effort and progress to be completely invalidated by one final death in the final vault is an insult to my time playing SoT. Good one Rare, I’ve been tricked by the ultimate Tricksters. I hope this Tall Tale gets fixed for the next time some weeks from now when I’ll have another chance to try it.

well here's a tip if ya want one please do it with a open crew or a discord crew

That’s gonna be a biiiiigggg “no sh|7 Sherlock” from me. The point is, is that I shouldn’t have to. This is a fundamental flaw in the mission design, not a “just play different” sort of moment. I’m a solo player. That’s the way I like it, that’s the way I prefer it. It literally has nothing to do with my choices in playing this game. A full crew is just as liable to feel the same way as me in failing the mission. Now, if you don’t have any more big brained ideas, I’m trying to get Rare’s attention on this, instead of gathering undesired attention from unhelpful “pro tippers”.

bro i'm just trying to be nice and the sad truth is rare doesn't listen to the forum posters anymore idrk
