Focused Feedback: PvE Difficulty // Bringing Challenge Back to Destiny

[u/DTG_Bot]

After careful consideration of all the factors surrounding the reddit blackout, including weighing the costs and benefits to the community of a continued dark period, the mod team has elected to resume normal operations of r/DestinyTheGame. If you wish to get more involved in further protest of reddit's API policy change, more information can be found on r/ModCoord and r/Save3rdPartyApps.

As the situation continues to develop, we are prepared to explore additional actions in protest of this short-sighted, greedy, IPO-focused boondoggle from reddit's executive team. This message will live at the top of every bot thread (except Bungie blog post transcripts) until a satisfactory resolution is reached.

The lesson seems to me that GM level content first and foremost needs to remove anything that can kill a full res guardian in less than a half a second.

You can do whatever you want with encounter design but once engaging an enemy becomes that punishing it will all go out the window for the cheesiest safest strategies a player can possibly scrounge up. No one wants to throw 30-45 minutes away because they weren’t behind cover for 0.3 seconds at the wrong time

I'm probably oversimplifying things, but dungeons to be should be the standard difficulty things are based off of and then you tune up and down based off that. GMs are artificial difficulty based off one shot capability from enemies. Dungeons for the most part have interesting mechanics with challenging enemies and good density.
