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 am good player and i can't fathom it. And some people talk about soloing nigjtfall. I have to see a video. Back in Halo, I would solo Legendary, which could get pretty tough. You would have to combo to pop shields with plasma/human, just like you have to specialize for shields here. The difference is that in Halo you could generally regroup and take your time. In destiny, there isn't anywhere to take a breath except exploit spots. And with the mix of shield types and low ammo for secondary and heavy, you just can't do it. Couple this with the homing projectiles and its ridiculous. I am sure it CAN be done with a well organized group who organize their weapons accordingly, but very few who can. I would love to see videos of any who brag. All i have said was for nightfall. As far as the raid goes,i actually think hard is achievable without exploits. I think nightfalls are significantly worse.
