So as the title states being less powerful than D1, while fitting nicely into balance and the story arc, is a good thing in my opinion. Aren't you all bored of doing a raid knowing you won't die cause your level 50 billion and the boss needs to shoot you 20 times before you even think "oh my shields are low". Back when vault launched and we were barely level 26 and 25 in some cases we struggled and fought for that completion. It took hours for my first run as we slowly chipped away at the Templar and Atheon, going through god knows how many cycles but the main thing was IT WAS FUN. It was enjoyable kicking his ass after that time and the sense of achievement every year 1 guardian knows was overwhelming. I see comments that the beta strike boss was a bullet sponge and yes an argument could be made for that but is it his health or the fact that you can't simply pop a synth and fire rockets that make the fight longer? Destinys biggest issue was that it's bosses were to easy in hard modes! You can one cycle Atheon for gods sake A RAID BOSS the hardest enemy ( or one of) in the game! END GAME CONTENT can be done in 30 mins. Remember when you were all level 3 for example? When you walked into a cave or down a hole on earth or the moon or any area and you saw that ??? Level enemy! Knowing they were to high for you as you ran away with a captain chasing you! They were some of the best moments in my destiny time and now because I'm level 40 400 light with great weapons and tier 11 etc. That feeling that somewhere there is something I can't do, some enemy that no matter how hard I try will always best me! If u disagree feel free to leave a reasoned argument in the comments as unlike most on forms I can be persuaded and will listen to valid points!
