The Blackout Modifier is necessary, and not cruel. Here's why: As Light level increases, the difficulty of the Strike playlist decreases. In the long term, Blackout challenges even the most experienced players, a tool to keep this activity replayable. Blackout also tests a player's awareness and escape maneuverability, something useful to practice in. In my opinion, there should be a difficulty option in general for the game. I'm hardcore and hate casual play, unless I'm super tired. I think a true Prestige system should be implemented into the game so that hardcore peeps like me can grind through the game in a more preferable way. I think there should definitely be exclusive rewards for it too, but more commemorative type of stuff like emblems, ships, sparrows, shaders, emotes and Ghost shells. I wanna be able to show off my progress and get Milestone rewards along the way. Let there be a category for Sherpa requirements too.
