Difficulty: Is anyone even playing this game without exploits on harder settings (Nightfall, heroic etc.)?
I’m am serious here.
Is anyone playing the missions, strikes etc. on harder difficulty (Nightfall, lvl 28 Heroic etc.) the way they are “supposedly” designed?
I can’t fathom this. Everything is killing you in basically one hit (or one hit and a gust).
I mean how do you survive 4 Wizards and 3 Knights at the same time in the Summoning Pits while staying inside the room when everything needs just to look at you to kill you?
I don’t think I am a bad player.
If I do strike playlists I’m usually the one without any death while also having the most kills etc.
I’ve been beating nightfall strikes and heroics for weeks… just not “the way they are meant to be played”. (tm Nvidia)
To cut to the chase: I exploit the living crap out of the AI and terrain.
By BlameItOnBrown:
[quote]OP raises a good point, and I think many people may have missed it.
Is it actually possible to run the nightfall/weekly strikes by actually playing the strike the way it was intended it to be played?
Phogoth is a great example, because I don't know if it is actually possible to go into the final chamber with Phogoth on Nightfall, and not die once the high level minions spawn. Can anyone here say they have done it that way? If not, then isn't there something fundamentally wrong with the game's difficulty gradient?[/quote]
Maybe I worded it poorly but its basically this.

5 RepliesRaids, Weekly Nightfalls, Heroics, they are all [b]far[/b] from impossible to complete "legitimately." If you seriously cant complete the raid or the infamous Phogath encounter without some sort of exploit, then you are not good at video games to be honest. Using the game mechanics (jumping, invisibility, gun types, grenades, supers, grouping, ....) gives you all the tools you need and more. [b]If the game wasn't challenging, what would be the point.[/b] It's pretty ridiculous that people are throwing fits about Atheon cheese getting patched, but even more so, the random teleporting. [b]The endgame material,[/b] at least in my opinion, [b]should present a CHALLENGE.[/b] That being said, if there is an exploit in the game, I will most likely utilize it. If it provides a quick, easy way to do something then I'm all for it, but you won't see me whining when it gets patched because it is obviously not supposed to be in the game.
