Yeah its def a middle finger. Most boring event ever and didn't even think that was possible after solstice. Lines up perfect with the low effort final act weekly story that had us do the exotic for the missuon for a third, and potentially 4th time if you care about the epilogue. I've been floating around the top 100 for active triumph score but my god are they making it really hard to keep playing the game. It feels like they design the game to pad out the most amount of playtime instead of actually focusing on being fun. Like who tf thought it was fun to go back and do the same mission this many times? I'm sorry but encore is not that great, the only positive thing I can say about the mission is the first boss fights music goes hard, but even then its just a variant of the darkness theme.
