I waited until I could complete it to comment. (We got it on the 6th try, with the first 3 tries being complete shitshows of uncoordinated and failed heroics. Those early -blam!--ups are on us. With proper knowledge, we'd have done it in 3 tries, which is in line with the difficulty of D1 Nightfalls. So what follows is not about difficulty.) Speed running all the time is not fun. It doesn't feel like playing a shooter, and the timer and hoops mechanic are blatantly artificial, having no plausible in-game explanation. I can only suspend my disbelief up to a certain point, and that shit is waaaay past it. Think about this: they are [i]literally[/i] making us jump through hoops to get the good loot. I'm sure the irony is not lost on the troll who had that splendid idea. I've always hated that parkour shit in Destiny, but it has never felt as out-of-place as it does here, and that's considering all D1 raids. There's a timer. Why? What causes us to fail if we take too much time? Then there are those hoops. Who makes them? WTF are they doing there? This mechanic artificially increases the difficulty of a normal mode strike by soliciting a completely different skill than the ones we use in the rest of the game. That's a cheesy game designer cheat. You know what would work too to increase difficulty? Having to beat the Vex Mind at chess instead of killing it with bullets. You don't like chess? Well git gud sucka... tl/dr: I'm not a -blam!-ing dog, I'm an FPS player. Make me shoot aliens, don't make me jump through -blam!-ing hoops.
