Actually the game is fun when the aliens are genuinely interesting to fight. Letting them live longer allows them to prove that they can be. Just deleting them from existence at the press of a button is not that at all. That said there certainly could be far better ways that allow enemies to live longer. Bungie is unfortunately unconcerned with making that happen however.

More Balance = More Weapon Variety = Less Redundant = More Fun No Balance = No Weapon Variety = Very Redundant = No Fun

you got close to the nail. but you didnt nail it

Bungie nerfed everything we like. Added junk they like.

I mean, I enjoy a balanced PvP. PvE I want to be harder so just understand that there are quite a few that have a different opinion on this. I escape the mundane reality because I want something to challenge me. Thats my personal reason for example.

[quote]Powerful means fun, we don't play video games for balance, we play video games to escape from balance This is a game about killing aliens, so why do you idiots want guns that take longer to kill said aliens ? You dumbasses will be the first ones to leave when its bland and boring , and everything is just "ok" again The yotuber that rymes with daddo is a self entitled moron that is helping kill this game, and Bungie employees are even bigger morons for catering to the loudest common denominator We have gone from the Whisper to A Whimper[/quote] It’s TOTALLY fine when killing aliens! I can’t say there is over powered in pve. BUT When it came to crucible and stuff like the eye mask, vex mytho class and other series offenders it’s hard to justify throwing balance out the water to make OP guns. Especially when reforge doesn’t exist (that somewhat leveled the playing field) and RNG dictates what OP weapons good / bad players had. It becomes a case of great players becoming greater and a widening skill gap.

Use your head please. Think about what you said and reevaluate your next move.

Socialism... all weapons are equal, none should outshine another... everyone is a winner! You suck at PvP? Ok, we’ll stop rewarding the ones that are. We will just make it easier for everyone!!!

You may as well give up. We live in different times and, as such, games have evolved from the pass-time entertainment and hobbies that they were originally intended to be. We've entered an era where they've simply become another sport, competition, and in many cases, full blown jobs/careers. Hell, we all know that there's plenty of people out there who'd rather [b]watch[/b] someone else play, than to simply play the damn game themselves. As far as balancing goes, if you're a solo player, you gotta remember: This game isn't meant for us and will never be -balanced- around the very notion that we even play the game. The fact that there's absolutely no scaling whatsoever in regards to how many people are in a group is a very clear sign that it was never even a thought.

I agree with op here. The youtuber that rhymes with saddo is one of the worst parts of the Destiny community and for Bungie to listen to his blabbering has put the current state of the game and new weapons where they are today. Not one of these new exotic weapons are strong or would replace other exotics already out there. Deathbringer, Xenophage, Leviathans Breath, Divinity, and Arianas's are all under powered, underwhelming, and outclassed by other exotics and legendarys. The only good exotics in this dlc is a Destiny 1 exotic and the playstation exclusive that finally came to xbox and pc. Good grief! The Deathbringer needs more damage and you need to fix the projectiles disappearing if denoted to high which is a wasted shot (needs more damage and higher detonation ceiling). My legendary Bellowing Giant is better. Xenohage needs either one or a combination of the following (more damage, crit damage, more ammo in maga and reserves, and replace range perks like rangefinder that are useless for a weapon with explosive rounds since they have a set damage and range regardless of perks). Thunderlord and Hammerhead destroy this thing. Divinity (needs more damage or higher debuff) and since you will be nerfing the debuff stacking on this weapon it will be useless. The Coldheart and Wavesplitter are so much better choices which is a shame for a weapon that you have to go thru the raid to get. Even the Prometh Lens with its nerfs then buffs is better. How? Divinity should be stronger than all the other trace rifles, period! LB (more damage, less draw time, and more ammo) the knock back effect is worthless with its like one sec stun duration. If we are to use our Power and Exotic slots on a bow then it darn well should be strong and LB is weak sauce. Pretty much any other power exotic is better than this waste of space. The Arianas vow sure has low damage for a sniper all other exotic snipers wayyyy outclass it, so what is the point? Is it because it is a hand cannon and that is what makes it special, because if so then lol, wow? No wonder Eris Morns team got wiped out the exotics they were using are weak and underwhelming in their current state. Oh and you can forget about that "its good in pvp arguement" because if that is what they are good for then they should have been PVP exotic quests then other players wouldn't waste their time acquiring them to use on content they weren't designed for.

If you want powerful, unbalanced things maybe consider some single player games.

Balance is what makes a PVE game a good game. What would be the point of killing every enemies in a single bullet ?
