Were you able to solve the chess puzzle?
I regularly get some puzzles in the game. Players look at instructions on how to solve them from data miners. And... everyone seems happy. Bungies - they seem to have given players some game content. Players have received some rewards...
I'm not happy!
I play for myself. I play to have fun. Watching someone else solve a problem is boring. But is it possible otherwise?
Using the example of the latest "Chess Brain Teaser" - how could it be solved with your own mind??? Already at the first stage, collecting the pieces, you could have suffered a defeat.
The placement of some of the chess pieces is so non-obvious that it is impossible to imagine how they could be found. The next stages are a total mind-blower.
Yes, I am an idiot. Are there any geniuses who have honestly solved this puzzle?

With anything like this, where the number of possible move combinations is mathematically extremely large, every likelihood that clues and solutions are pushed to creators to generate interest. Finding the chess pieces unprompted I can get with, because they show on radar and you can track via the triumphs. Solving the mid- and endgame chess board puzzles solo? Somewhere between no hope and Bob Hope…

Nope. If I had a gun to my head or my Shiny Blast Furnace was at risk of being deleted I could have solved it but...nope. If I'm playing a game strictly about solving puzzles I clear them but I'm much less motivated when I'm playing a more action driven game. -
Fourth option: I couldn’t have solved it myself, looked up a guide, then decided I didn’t want to waste time in Destiny 2 playing chess while needing the help of a guide. Had it rewarded a completely new to the game, exotic armor or weapon, I would have just used the guide and gotten it done. It just didn’t feel rewarding or interesting. It as far as I can tell, doesn’t seem to fit any kind of story or connection to the rest of the game. Lost interest fairly quickly, once the guild outlined how many more puzzle steps there was to do everything.

A lot of content is created with creators in mind, they push guides & channels in their live streams now, it's an eco system. Even going back to the D1 beta in 2014 deej the then community manager said 'in this game the internet is your best friend'. He knew exactly what he was saying

Got to round 8

Option 4. Chess puzzle ? Eh ?

Considering it was a community event.. I'm gonna say literally nobody did it alone lol

Yup just waited until everything was solved watched a video and DONE! After almost a month free of destiny logged in got it done and logged off xD

1 ReplyWeren’t these community Puzzles that required multiple inputs from different players that could not be solved solo? I’ve been away from the game for the most part for the past 2 weeks.

50/50. I got the 27 normal puzzles but looked up the community puzzle solution and the location of half the pieces.
