I despise the new difficulty, I tried to do the new exotic quest, got to the last boss fight, all the while hating every moment. Bungie has done the most artificial way to increase difficulty by making your weapons deal jack -blam!- damage, while your enemies have increased health and hit like a freight train. And to the fact primary weapons hit like a wet noodle, I spent more time killing adds for heavy ammo just to chip away at Brakion second phase.... just to get one shot because my foot wasn't behind a pillar.
I swear to god I haven't had this much of a tedious gaming experience sense Division 1. Weapons that feel like water guns, armor that feels like carboard, and enemies that can 1 shot you because -blam!- you streamers and no lifers wanted the game to be harder.
I get it though, having harder stuff should be in the game, but why ruin everything else, these people will still only play GM's and the hardest raids, and in a month they will come back to -blam!- about how the games easy, all the while they have the best weapons, the best gear, builds that completely break the game, while the majority of players dont do that -blam!-.

5 RepliesIt’s not as bad as The Division 1….but only because I can’t imagine anything else being that bad. That game was practically unplayable. But I think a lot of people agree with how you feel. Bungie made a wrong turn. Changed WAY too many thinks at the same time, and the game is significantly overtuned. Too the point where it feels like the power-fantasy has neen knee-capped. Again. Where Bungie did get it wrong in the same way that Massive did is this constant need to drive us from cover and keep us running around the arena. Trying to play a shooter where there is no cover to fight from is about as enjoyable as being an infantryman taking artillery fire. It’s not fun. It’s tilting. Then add in all the cheap OHKs that are currently in the game. From being sniped by Hobgoblins ten stories up, to being knocked off of platforms to fall to your death? There are a number of parts of the game that just feel tedious and frustrating rather than an enjoyable challenge.

It wears me down. I used to be a powerful guardian. Now I’m a wimpy new guy who is always running backward and hiding to stay alive. When I finish an activity I’m relieved, not happy. Bungle catered to their streamers who push the game 24/7. It’s a payoff for them. We don’t count.

Preach it! I wouldnt even be playing right now if I didnt pre order the deluxe edition, what a massive waste of money. You are so right, its a tedious boring grind where everything is bullet spongey, and for what? to challenge people who clear their content on day one and solo raids on week one. Sad.

I’m just miffed it takes over a full clip of primary just to beat a red bar in some cases and still our light level means nothing because most activities with cap us or raise enemies level above ours. D1 difficulty was just fine, if you were over powered the activities were a lot easier but new raids were always just a bit over for the challenge but had rewards worth having especially when they brought out hard raids with unique ornaments for the armour.

I would rather play the Division 1..than Lightfall man. Div 2 no

1 ReplyDivision was VASTLY more enjoyable than this. It had builds that were actually strong and made you feel like you could handle the insane bullet sponges. This is just frustratingly unfun.

Isnt the activity 1800, aren’t you 20 light levels under?
-
I have to actually try now, waghhhhhhhh

1 ReplyThe Division isn't difficult with the right build.

Wasn't too bad. What the hell were you using? An uncommon weapon?

Try raising your power level. The enemies are 1810 and it looks like you’re about 20 something below. Took me a while but the deed has been done solo after wiping several times.

I said that it would and it has.
