What’s with the crazy difficulty for arena ops?It’s supposed to be a fun 6 player activity. Not a slap on the face. I assume Bungie doesn’t test anything anymore. Steamers can go kick rocks, they don’t represent the community. They’re cashing in like Bungies eververse push.
Who cares if the top 1% thinks it’s to easy, what about the other 99% of player who’s aren’t having fun at all. The enemies hit way too hard for a seasonal activity.
Edit: I’ve done a couple arena ops since posting this, and I’m partially wrong. Someone below said it was deadly arc threat the day I posted this. The difficulty comes from modifiers not outright crazy difficulty. Modifiers are annoying, but the 6 man activity isnt as bad as I thought. Cheers to all who posted / upvoted.

Yes they want you upset. Its part of the scumbag business model

11 RepliesAlot of the playerbase has moved over to Where Winds Meet! Bungie doesn't stand a chance against this free to play game.

10 RepliesI think the core of the problem is that primaries don’t do enough damage at all

9 RepliesThey just need to get rid of revive tokens

2 RepliesI always missed 6 player match-made activities, because to me they were less sweaty and more fun to play! So when I saw there were 6 player activities in the portal, I got excited. Then reality hit me. This would be an overtuned 6 player activity with modifiers and revive tokens designed to suck the fun out of it.

Edited by Strider: 12/8/2025 5:17:19 PMI don't think they are trying to make people mad, they are certainly well versed at this. The fact that they NEED to keep players in the game and doubling down on difficulty delta's/ad density is just mind numbingly stupid but hey, the streamers are happy.

BOOMBOXCOLLOSUSSOver it. - old
You know how the obnoxious guy at the bar thinks he's "killin it" cuz he's surrounded by all the other obnoxious people? That's Bungie. A studio livin in a self perpetuated bubble that's about to burst. -
4 Replies🤣🤣🤣 Its almost as if you clowns come together and decide that you will keep giving Bungo "One more chance" Over and Over again. You 🤡🤡 aren't tired of doing this?

Tried to do some matchmade Fireteam or Pinnacle Ops (there are a whopping 3 choices today) to try for the Bonus Focus weapons. At 550, in order to forecast a B reward, I am required to do them on Ultimate. I just can't. It's no fun. Back to Caldera to get the Daily Objectives completed quickly so I can get back to the Lawless Frontier.

They literally do not have a QA department as of like a year or two ago, so no, they don't test anything.

I played my first few arenas last night and it wasn't the difficulty because it's not difficult. They just made enemies big old bullet sponges. My issue is them implementing a revive system. That in itself continues to show a tone deaf attitude towards a paying community. That is a fun destroyer.

1 ReplyI agree. And why are all the solo timed?
-
Totally agree, arena ops either should start at 20 revive tokens or remove them altogether. Thank you for being one of the few people on this forums arguing about real issues.
-
the tokens are just repetitive and it’s just a stupid controversy that makes them believe revive tokens shouldn’t be removed it should just be kept in raids and strikes honestly over tons of activities being a guy reaching 550s on all classes it is just starting to become repetitive and everyone is still stuck on being a raw dogged soulsbourne addict that won’t get sequel,remake,remaster, pc port and more to the point they now think it’s there delusional job to turn other games into it since they can’t keep it shut then will complain about how it’s pushing people away no honor anymore or civil agreement and compromise

If you make an insane build that abuses abilities, it’s easy. I don’t want to do that though. I want to shoot stuff in the face, not abuse abilities with 100% uptime. I get stuck on a build like that to complete runs 100%, but it gets boring repeating the same gameplay loop. Using a gun build, just isn’t viable, and that sucks.

2 RepliesWhen does bungie can’t go through a day without getting people pissed off putting 3 lightsaber crystals behind eververse is a stupid move imo
-
I did them like 5 times to master them. You just need to know where the enemy spawns and always take cover.

1 ReplyI wouldn’t mind Less revive tokens if the enemies weren’t bullet sponges than spawn every 3 seconds lmao

3 RepliesIt was the deadly arc threat. Today is cake. If they tune everything down then wtf are we doing here? It should be difficult.

1 ReplyI'm one of the 99%, as you say, and I find the activities much simpler than before, and I'm almost bored, sorry, but I think you're rubbish.

I played it once everyone died in 4:30 seconds and I never played it again.
-
They have definitely been trying and achieving that goal...

Play it on a more appropriate difficulty.

No Bungo are just rage baiting us all, they sit in their tower laughing at us all. They have gone out of their way to remove all fun from the game and don't care what we think. I don't blame the streamers because Bungo could easily make the game for everyone they just choose to bait us all into rage quiting.
