Difficulty: Is anyone even playing this game without exploits on harder settings (Nightfall, heroic etc.)?

No

I’m am serious here. Is anyone playing the missions, strikes etc. on harder difficulty (Nightfall, lvl 28 Heroic etc.) the way they are “supposedly” designed? I can’t fathom this. Everything is killing you in basically one hit (or one hit and a gust). I mean how do you survive 4 Wizards and 3 Knights at the same time in the Summoning Pits while staying inside the room when everything needs just to look at you to kill you? I don’t think I am a bad player. If I do strike playlists I’m usually the one without any death while also having the most kills etc. I’ve been beating nightfall strikes and heroics for weeks… just not “the way they are meant to be played”. (tm Nvidia) To cut to the chase: I exploit the living crap out of the AI and terrain. By BlameItOnBrown: [quote]OP raises a good point, and I think many people may have missed it. Is it actually possible to run the nightfall/weekly strikes by actually playing the strike the way it was intended it to be played? Phogoth is a great example, because I don't know if it is actually possible to go into the final chamber with Phogoth on Nightfall, and not die once the high level minions spawn. Can anyone here say they have done it that way? If not, then isn't there something fundamentally wrong with the game's difficulty gradient?[/quote] Maybe I worded it poorly but its basically this.

  • I think one issue you may have is that you are level 27. I've read that for every level down you are from a strike or raid level you will do 20% less damage and also take more damage. Regardless even at 29 I can only take very little damage compared to non nightfall missions. And if the mobs have the melee modifier you are easily one hit and dead regardless of level it seems. Besides that you have to use slower movement and have the right weapons with damage modifier to survive. On top of that using some map safe points seem a must for certain strikes.
