Why does every cool exotic mission have to have a timer and jumping puzzles? It sucks all the fun out of the quest.

Having a timer on these missions just makes them frustrating, and impossible for 99% of the player base. The jumping puzzles make it even more annoying. Every time you guys do something cool, you ruin it. [b] EDIT: I got it and the catalyst.👌[/b]

  • I tried soloing it. Got to the hanger part before time expired. Then I got my kid to go for it. He had friends so we'll see how that goes.

    • I have the gun, still have to run heroic 5x to get the catalyst. Timer sucks. But maybe it's better than going to orbit? Dunno...

      It seems Bungie has been using timers more so in D2 then they did in D1. They can make things more of a challenge without a timer, and if people are getting the weapon as easy as it was to get whisper as I did on my second run, that's not a challenge if a timer is the only thing to slow you down. I haven't run the quest for Outbreak Prime but it sounds too easy from what the replies on here are saying on this post and that alone tells me Bungie isn't trying hard enough to use their imagination to make things a challenge. If the quest are all about just running trying to beat a timer and not being able to enjoy the time spent in a new area, the quest becomes short-lived and forgotten about just like the whisper quest. Edit: Nothing Personal to anyone, but for those that are saying it's easy to acquire, I did it in no time at all or whatever else that was (easy) for you. If it was that easy then it wasn't a challenge and Bungie needs to come up with something better like Shattered throne then using a timer.

      I could compromise for the timer starting at 6 mins from the boss fight at the end.

      Having just seen the jumping part of the 'Zero Hour' mission ....I've frankly got no fvcking chance of getting across ...not with my screwed up dexterity (VBIED - Helmand, folks) Shame, because the 'old Tower' looks better than the new one So before I'm told to 'Git Gud' ....Not everyone has the ability/dexterity to even try these exotic missions (I have Whisper, I never earned it though, so I don't use it)

      • While I can't agree with the timer making the mission impossible, I will agree with the fact that it definitely sucks the fun out of the mission. Timers are a ridiculous way to make the mission seem 'challenging', when it is simply pointless.

        • Impossible for 99% of the player base? Nonsense. Players that lack skill should take it as a challenge and work on improving. Bungie shouldn't have to continually bring content down to the level of least proficient.

            Me and my friend got our guns last night, gunna try for the heroic soon. Sounds like your just a weak guardian brah ( This is coming from a guy who rage quit and left his fireteam hanging at the wall of pistons back in King's Fall on our first run) We both BLEW at the jumping puzzle but had a laugh at our failures and GG moments, even the multiple randoms were having a laugh or just called us poop, and boy howdy did we call each other out at the avoidable deaths to TREVOR. Finished it with 9 secs and first thing we did was go to back to Titan and run around shooting everything/emptying our clips as we shot each other in the face roflcoptering at the SIVA mites and pewpew sound the gun made...boy did it bring back memories.

          • I actually agree on this because I would like to see more as TFT, and not as a whisper type mission. Its stupid, really. I would of rather have a quest like the wishender. That was really fun. This, however, does not seem fun in my eyes. Just bungie trolls over and over.. Also is this lore written by a damn child?

          • I have the gun, got it second try, jumping puzzles are a staple of destiny and have been around since VoG. I think its super fun watching the community find ways around the puzzle, shortcuts, and other tricks to negate time. You can skip the entire main jumping puzzle using a hunter with stompees or a lion rampart titan, doing shit like that gives you around 7-8 minutes in the boss fight.

            • Most of the exotic quest lines don’t have timed missions. Izanagis burden, thorn, last word. I’m not going to name them all but we have only 2 weapons with this type of mechanic. I’m the type of player that enjoys this method over the multiple week long, 50 steps of mindless tasks type of quest line around most of the other exotic weapons. It feels good to be rewarded for skill rather than a participation trophy for spending hours collecting random stuff to get something like sleeper or Polaris lance.

            • It's fine honestly. The satisfaction and the weapon itself made it all worth it when i got it last night.

            • I like the jumping puzzles. Loved the ones in King's Fall, and the Whisper mission ones were pretty cool too. Haven't had a chance to try this one out yet because of work, but I look forward to giving it a shot. The timer adds a bit of stress to the whole thing, but I'm not opposed to it. If there were no timer, it would be too easy, and everyone would be slowly slogging through it solo.

            • Personally I hate jumping puzzles but this one wasn't too bad. One of my fireteam members went ahead of us and flipped the switches that extended certain platforms making it easier for us bulky titans. We finished after 4 tries. We dub these platforms "titan training wheels."
