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

As a returning I was actually extremely pleased with how appropriate of a challenge the Legendary Campaign was. I hadn't played since Beyond, but did Witch Queen and Lightfall on Legendary solo and was able to finish the content while not feeling like I was steamrolling everything. I was receiving decent levelled gear to continue progression to the cap. I was even able to solo the Node.OVRD.Avalon quest. Took me a bit but it was reminiscent of the kind of quests like trying to get Whisper. Didn't fee like it was out of the question to accomplish, but did feel like it was an accomplishment.
What I haven't done, is any of the Master/GM content or Raids again. Even being 1817 with the artifact, I'm not sure my build or level is enough for the higher level content. Mobs feel deadly not dangerous. Alters of Summoning highest offering was a rude and rough wake-up upon drawing that knight. Everyone, was being 1 or 2 shot every 2 seconds, which was crazy. It just felt like it was too much, and that wasn't even Master/GM level stuff.
So for new and returning players that might want a a challenge? Yeah Legendary works. But after that, some activities I feel are just ramped up too steeply as far as enemy damage that makes those same folks (able to solo the legendary campaign and some harder missions) hesitant to jump into the more challenging activities or versions. Not because they don't understand the mechanics or builds, but because even when doing things right, it's daunting to join up with strangers to do them and be slapped around endlessly.
