I'm not one to typically say "too hard Bungie, slow down", but I just played the lucent brood version of expert court of blades and I gotta say Bungie, wayyyy too hard and not fun. It's like you're intentionally trying to make this event so hard that no one, not even the sweatiest teams, can get to max defeated. I don't think the way to make this game fun again is to see how many enemy bots you're game can possibly handle spawning into a tiny arena before it breaks.
I mean, I can barely even see the targets due to so many ads, effects, explosions and flak going on everywhere. I know our guardians are more powerful now, but what is the gate for difficulty that you are trying to achieve? Twenty unstoppable champions and a dozen lucent knights in one room at a time? I realize that sounds ridiculous, but then again you keep pushing the bounds to a point where this game is becoming next to impossible to play. And I know I don't have to play expert, but I do want challenge, just not impossible.
Onslaught expert was great fun because it was difficult for the average player, but doable if you anticipated what to do, coordinated with teammates and got really specific with your builds. Paired with the poor adept drop rate from this event and it quickly becomes a waste of time that isn't fun at all. I expected more creativity Bungie, not the usual "throw more ads at them and force the player to stand here".

Yup, tried it again. Same opinion, ridiculously hard. Great job Bunge, won't be playing anymore until next content drop if this is what you come up with.

1 Reply“Really specific with your builds” There in lies a large part of the problem and why tons of people have left.

Lets break this down a little more.... 7 or so turrets spawning with shield, tracking rounds and firing void during a void buff week so your one shot....oh yeah they fire without stopping The symbols...You must stand in the circle with no cover being hit with arc and void that can 2 shot you but now there are 20 enemies spamming nonstop shots The small circle....stand here and do nothing as the shield does not drop and will only drop when witch is standing on top of you...did I mention also another turret enemy with splash damage, arc and never ending fire Ghosts.....Lets add in bosses that have a ghost so you are forced to run into the center of 30 enemies, again with never ending fire, splash damage and buffed damage output that 1 or 2 shots you, to smash a ghost or you go again Symbols again...Lets make it where the symbol needed to be stood in is at a place you cannot attack the enemy like up stairs when boss does not move. Better yet, lets make it 2 symbols in a row to ruin your run Its BS. This is not a challenge as all of it kills you and all you an say is "there is nothing I could have done different". That is made by people who do not play games, never have played games and got a job based on "doing nothing" vs "making amazing games they play".

I feel that, same with Quaria in Rushdown today, it's so obviously not balanced out properly and way harder than anything comparable. I'd genuinely say Lucent Brood with 13 rotations might be the games hardest challenge outside of flawless raids currently.

It’s definitely the worst of the 3 for sure But I wouldn’t call it hard
