Remember, when strikes were far simpler, easier to plow through with no BS time wasting mechanics?
When Bungie didn't mind that we completed strikes under 5 minutes. Good old times

11 RespostasDumbest post I've ever read. Dude really? You're annoyed that a strike takes 9 minutes instead of 5 now? Get over it. No mechanics in strikes are hard to do. No strike mechanics are complicated or time wasting. In fact I think strikes are TOO easy and short. I want to actually play the game when I'm playing, but also I want the rewards to hold more value. Now we get f all from strike rewards

I remember when the game was good

2 RespostasRemember when Strikes were their own contained story and not characters spouting off outdated dialogue regarding things that have already passed? No Ana. Powering up Rasputin won't help us against Xivu because Rasputin has already been deleted and we've already forced Xivu in a corner.

3 RespostasA distant memory. It’s all battlegrounds, maybe 1 og strike out of 5
-
3 RespostasBattlegrounds should be their own playlist.

6 Respostas[quote]When Bungie didn't mind that we completed strikes under 5 minutes. Good old times[/quote] They literally had a secret emblem for speed running every nightfall. This current Bungie is so terrible for gaming and fun in general.
-
Agreed. I miss being able to absolutely destroy a void because I was max light.
-
6 RespostasLake of shadows was fine as it was. It came once, maybe twice a year and was a blast. Now it’s just time wasting mechanics and annoying to play through.

2 Respostasi just wish they'd stop with the damn immunity phases on the bosses

9 RespostasRemember playing a game because it was ...FUN....? .....and not a '[i]waste of time[/i]' to be '[i]plowed through[/i]' ASAP? 🤔 When did gamers STOP playing for fun? -Wanna go do a fun dungeon? •Nah, you don't get rewards this week. -Oh, OK. What are you doing instead? •I'm gonna load up Shuro Chi to shoot fish in a barrel, with a gun I hate, until I get the catalyst so I can delete it and never have to use it again. -Cool, sounds like fun.

1 ResponderAgree… the death of power fantasy was when bosses had stupid immunity phases
-
1 ResponderI miss the one with the giant eyeball on Titan. Wish they kept that in, would of been dope with updated dialog now that Sav has the light. Well we sure as hell found out what she was doing with void light
-
10 RespostasI will always leave any battlegrounds strike 20 mins for bad rewards is no fun
-
We don't have strikes, we have battegrounds with the occasional strike thrown in. When your squadmates make comment when actually getting a strike it says something about the playlist.

2 RespostasBungie back then was cool. They focused on things being fun. Bungie now are too concerned with balance and that 10-minute mark. If something's going too fast, they need to force it to slow down with waiting sections and more plot armor for bosses. Nothing's allowed to be too fast, even if you're a veteran player with well more than enough power and strategy to make anything you could get from this activity just a waste of time anyway. That white invincible shield seemingly all bosses get to force players to do mechanics is literal plot armor and nobody can change my mind.

7 RespostasRemember when Lake of Shadows and Arms Dealer were fun?

1 ResponderNow its all about milking players for their time and money. Capitalism wooooo
-
1 ResponderStrikes are arguably less needed now too, though.
-
1 ResponderRemember when people were content to simply play the game, rather than skip through content and seemingly do everything in their power to play it as little as possible?
-
The vanguard strikes don't seem to take very much longer if they even do. And its been better because the enemies are more responsive. You can definitely still plow through them to me its just more satisfying than it was before though.

Editado por X-LoganX: 10/26/2023 6:07:47 PMNow that we can do the Exotic engram run in any mix of playlists, I fully believe we're going to see that strikes are played less and not Gambit.
-
I used to like doing strikes for fun just to kill time. I don’t really do them anymore because it seems like I just get stuck in the same handful of old seasonal activities way more often than I do traditional strikes. When I finally get a strike it’s almost ways one that I hate like Exodus Crash.
-
Editado por Guardian, Archon Of Light: 10/26/2023 4:02:58 PMIf they were more rewarding I wouldn't mind it, but nobody's got time to slog through mechanics for a crap Vanguard item that's just going to be sharded That why if I see any battlehround, New Arms Dealer, or new Lake Of Shadows , or Proving Grounds , I leave
-
Its already the easiest activity in the game lol... sorry you cant cheese from spawn to the final boss anymore but that's clearly an improvement
-
4 RespostasYep, and I remember how much of a waste of time they were and still are. Designing content to create Incentives is something this business makes sure they stay away from, and it's why I stayed away from the game.
-
So many good strikes have been vaulted to allow for seasonal content to remain. Seasonal content re Battlegrounds should just remain that seasonal. Bad enough playing battlegrounds over and over again during a season, worse to add them to the vanguard playlist, just laziness not adding new strikes. You even see the complaints in the forums about the battlegrounds being GM Nightfalls. Seems it's ok to bring back old raids though and put them in legends just not good enough to put all old strikes in there as well on a rotating cycle. Can't expect too much from Bungie I guess the way they nerf everything because they get it wrong. The thing is when stuff gets nerfed the fun goes with it, this game will be nerfed into the ground. The Final Shape better be good otherwise I think they should throw in the towel. Lightfall was a disappointment let's hope that doesn't continue.
