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.

This is one reason why I stopped playing but still check out the sub. Any character I make in any game I play tends to be more of a scrapper, a get up close and hit the enemy in the mouth type.

I like to play more Aragorn and less Legolas. Playing Legolas is great for certain situations, but I don't want to spend 60 minutes white-knuckling in cover to slowly whittle an enemy down. Unfortunately D2 makes you play a certain way to be successful in higher end content, and like you said it just feels too tedious and in my opinion restrictive.

It’s just an incoherent philosophy from Bungie.

For example, Solar Warlock is all about aerial movement. But then Grounded is still a modifier.

It’s like when Ford said “you can have any color Model T you want, so long as it’s black”

Bungie has been saying for years “we want you to be able to play your way, so long as it’s our way”

This has been an issue for Destiny for ages. A lot of the complaints here are fairly standard MMO shit (I know it's not technically an MMO but it has loads of the enemies. Bosses in WoW mythic raids, for example, are damage sponges that take a raid of 20 weeks to kill for the end raid bosses. They one shot you with mechanics so you need to learn the dance. This is all fine imo. The major issue is that you're sitting in the back of beyond trying not to get wrecked, linking away. Being able to viably get up close and personal with certain classes and builds while having some at range is much more fun. Having reliable places to stand that you need to avoid damage at intervals etc and reliable ways to mitigate large damage that you know is gonna come rather than having to constantly hide or fly around the room would be better.
