Difficulty has sucked the fun out of D2!

I know I’m going to just get pilloried by the toxic “git gud” community for having this opinion but having absurd levels of enemy density coupled with constantly being under-leveled has sucked all the fun out of this game for me. I’m sure I’m not alone. I will be playing D2 waaaaaay less until this gets addressed. I understand the need to have difficult content but that’s what GMs are for. That’s what Master raids are for. Sure, not everything should be a walk in the park but trying to get through a Legend Lost sector in Neomuna at 15 levels under is annoyingly difficult for absolutely no reason. This game is just no longer fun and I’m completely unmotivated to play it at the moment.

  • Agree. I did a Spire last night and I literally couldn’t stay alive. Resilience at 100 seems to count for nothing. The “easy” lost sectors now take 12-15 mins and that’s too long to bother farming. Why would I do Legend activities if I already can’t stay alive? Destiny has never been less fun.

  • As a returning player who has a full time job I don't want to be struggling through lost sectors I can barely complete for hours on end because it is the only way to unlock new exotic armor. I wish they'd just open the loot pool so I can grind out something more fun at least. Idk why bungie is so hellbent on only appeasing such a small percentage of their playerbase.

    • Bungle wants it to be a sports event where everyone tries to outdo everyone else, just so they can brag on the forums about how easy everything is. I want it to be a scifi adventure where I'm the powerful hero, defeating the enemies of mankind. What I get is a mindless grind, the same events over and over again and my power level meaning nothing. That's not what I signed up for. That's not what I paid for. I've got well over 5,000 hours in the game and this is no longer enjoyable.

        • Is anyone over at bungie fixing this mess ?? 100's of employees and zero fixs.... hello??? . Your game is no fun in the state its in. All of your new content is over cooked, no fun and a grind . It was a breath of fresh air running the old glassway strike last week. I would rather you put things back in place ,give us the old D2 before lightfall , and chalk that hot mess as a fail. I ran the new strike this week on master level were all gilded conquers, and 2 of them are flawless trials also. What we noticed is you forcing a play style of a brawler type game play. Your last boss fight of that strike was laughable stand in a circle get shot by everything run in circles poke at the boss until he is dead, its a 1 and done for us.

          • I was actually looking into spending my money on starting D2, but from what you guys are saying it seems like Destiny 2 isnt as fun as the first or is it that the end game isnt that much fun?

            • The game is no where polished enough for such difficulty. Far too many deaths leave you scratching your head as to what the hell just happened. More misadventures and architect deaths than ever before. Like several hundred percent more. That’s cheap. That’s lazy.

            • People seem to forget about the other major issue with all the difficulty concerns. Yes, i totally agree, the bullet spongie "difficulty" changes are horrible for the game. My personal main reason why i mainly stopped playing is the lack of general passion and dev time destiny 2 receives these days. Bungie seems to have completely put D2 on the backburner and just delivers half baked reissued trash content nowadays. THAT is the main reason i don't enjoy the game anymore. Feels like a skeleton crew of junior devs is left working on the game part time from home. People seems to oversee these massive problems with the game while complaining about the difficulty changes exclusively imo.

            • This weeks strike is a real winner, get ready for bullet sponges . Then my fireteam and I wipe at the small room with a boss and you have to start over and re run everything up to that point again. cool... nope

                • You can’t call people toxic for giving a legitimately valid response. The response is “git gud” because that’s what you genuinely should be doing. For the first time ever Bungie doesn’t just hand you an instant pass so you immediately start complaining. Find a way how to evolve with the game please.

                  • Knight You see? 'Unfun' lol get either these games I recommend: Chivalry 2 (more fun, more entertainment, better combat, however if you are bad at this game, you'll be sweaty and may rage) Fallout 76 (better grind, a lot more weapons to try out, a lot more armour sets to fill your fashion taste, better combat, NO BUGS AS WELL, from my experience of 8 months of fo76, doesn't feel broken to me anymore. Feels like an average game Diablo IV *Releases at June 6 (Literally a better version of destiny 2, very fun gameplay, lots of weapons, lots of skills, open world, feels like an mmorpg, world bosses to defeat, very good pvp, Elden Ring (A third person medieval adventure game, very fun gameplay, very fun pvp, however, be careful with your temper around objects) Warframe (Just a really better version of destiny, why would you choose destiny over warframe? I dont get it) Very fun games than destiny 2, destiny 2 is utterly garbo. Reply Edit

                    • As a casual player, I enjoy the difficulty. It's not as big of a brain dead game.

                          • The Neomuna Lost Sectors are designed to be more difficult then previous Lost Sectors (may be an unpopular opinion but thats how I see it this season). I understand your frustration on the handicap, but it sounds more like your frustrated that you can't clear them quickly which is a factor cause by the power level handicap. Bungie never wanted us to be able to clear these activities quickly, but as a result the drops from the activities should be increased with stats and frequency. Maybe we need Lost Sector and NF spoils so we can pick a reward every few completions.

                              • Just done nightfall, not again this week. Have to use weapon x, no fun, legend in wq was easier and more fun than this. Ugh. My arbalast was rubbish, hardly any damage and taken kept skipping out of shot more than normal. There are 3 harder levels, at least make heroic fun again.

                                • I can't even complete a legendary lost sector because it's such a -blam!- slog now. I mean I could, but I'm not gonna put that much time and effort into something I only have a small chance at earning the reward for. The rewards are not worth the grind. Plain and simple.

                                • Raising the floor of difficulty without the players choosing it, for basic activities, shouldn't have been a thing. A lot of people have been saying this very thing you've posted. Its also an unrewarding experience, as they made it harder to level past the 1770 cap, reducing the pinnalce and exotic sources was another terrible idea. I didn't enjoy playing the campaign. I was relieved when it was over, and have ignored all lightfall content, as much as i can, so i can clear quests from beyond light, witch queen and I'll be re-playing shadowkeep, on one of the toons I missed. Its definitely a fun issue, not a skill issue.

                                  • Neomuna stinks. Everywhere you go you are getting hit. Very few safe zones. The game overall has taken a step back as far as game play goes. Commendations, bad idea. Loadouts, good idea, though poorly executed. Season rank? (6, 7, 8, etc) just useless.

                                    • I have to agree. I play but really only because I paid for it and want to at least get my money's worth. But the joy is gone really; the story line is WTF?? I enjoyed it before this season. I've logged almost 2k hours with the game, I'd like to think I am fairly decent at the game. Got the dynamics of the raids. Didn't die frequently. Now, it's like "where can I hide to complete this stupid mission?" It's not "challenging" to every week see what modes or guns they nerfed on me so I have to come up with a different one, just because I wasn't playing the game they wanted me to play it. What guns does Bungie want me to play with seems to be the tune they want us to dance with. And yet... THEY STILL CAN'T FIX MOTES FALLING IN THE THE MAP???????? UG!!!!! Can someone please explain to me WHY does a game company care if we are defeating things quickly in any part of the game? if we are ENJOYING it, and playing it, why do they have to change it? I get PvP. That makes sense. But I'm playing against the environment. I can't wait till Diablo 4 comes out in June as I will be migrating to that. They also just killed off one of my fav characters....... First Cayde now....... Amanda? And I was just getting into the story between her and Crow gosh darn it!!!! Ah well.......
