Difficulty changes are lazy and pathetic Bungie

This idiotic increase in difficulty, its lazy and pathetic on Bungie's part, that exotic mission is awesome, but they triple the enemy numbers and make them bullet sponges .. Tedious, painful, joyless .. At the end, I thought, "thank God thats done", rather than "yeeeee!!!! We did it" ... There is little or none of the "yeeeee's" anymore, just "phew !" Used to feel like applauding and punching the air when completing stuff, now its just a middle digit to Bungie when its done .. Sadness and disappointment that such a great franchise has resorted to this ...

  • It's a strategy, offer less content but make it harder. Another thing they do to in order to keep using old content is Bungie keep changing the meta's, They also use new systems like guardian ranks to give players incentive to keep running the same old stuff It's way cheaper than actually making a new map or mission...Bungie seem to abuse this strategy though

    • Yup! I have said this a number of times before, so sorry for the repetition, but Bungie should have added more Mater and Grandmaster options and Matchmaking rather than just increasing the difficulty of everything. Cheap. And yes, I had the same reaction to the lightfall quest, it was "thank god that's over".

    • In my opinion the reason for the repetitive grind should be to over level your character. Make your character stronger so future activities can be completed easier and faster. Your space magic should become even more noticeable as should the overall power fantasy when logging in. I feel this provides the player with some semblance of value for time invested grinding. I also believe this makes the game more fun to play. But at the end of the day it’s not what I think that matters. It’s a Game Design decision made by Bungie for reasons that truly escape me.

    • You have double primaries on two of your characters... are you relying on a legendary primary the majority of the time in tough missions? If so that means the bullet-sponge problem is self-inflicted my man.

      • I don’t think it is laziness I think it is a “skill” issue at Bungie.

        I did it once and that's it. If it stays this way, I will not be playing it again. That's some serious BS. They can keep pinnacles and catalysts and everything. Don't care.

      • Definitely feels lazy. It basically feels like they know the power bonus is a meaningless number and now they made even more meaningless but in a way that’s punishing.

      • "Lazy and pathetic" is exactly how I'd describe this communities response to a little difficulty in the game.

        • I enjoyed the exotic mission. It is a mission you do once anyways, might as well make it near a master raid level in terms of difficulty.

          • I get why they increased the difficulty. I’m still not sure if I like having to put thought into a video game lol.

                • I did the mission today and while I was expecting it to be tough as nails it turned out to be quite manageable. Some of the stuff in the legendary campaign is more difficult. The boss is a bullet sponge but all it takes is a few tweaks to your loadout.
