I think in legendary content it's ok but anything master or above it's out right restricting. I mean grandmaster content is hard enough without all these rules as to what you can and cannot use. Very annoying indeed. There should be more options. Seems there are not enough of them currently. Would be nice to have more champion mods that stun them on ability hit too like nades for example. If I can use any nade to stun an overload that would be very helpful. We need more weapons like arablest that have champion perks and maybe a few legendary ones wouldn't hurt.

Not to mention the anti-barrier sniper costing SIX energy. As if it wasn’t enough that we need to use a specific weapon and also take up a mod slot. Nah, make the single mod also cost more than half your armor’s energy. That’ll balance it.

Yea I don't mind the champions but please allow us to fight them the way we want. Also mods definitely should be slotted into weapons it just makes more sense. This system is a little too restrictive.

Don't forget, they lock your loadout, so if you forgot to equip the proper mod you have to quit and start all over.

They need to just make a new arms mod that says "use this seasonal arms mod which requires you to use every gun you absolutely think is boring and not fun just so a nightfall group you join can kick you for not using the meta 3 seasonal weapons that are ridiculously broken, also are you enjoying all your exotics that you literally never get to use?"

I really like champion mods because they stop me from using the same overpowered thing every time but I will give you credit the mods this season are terrible particularly for overload and unstopable

Agree 100%. Have just about had enough of Master Ketch etc and having to deal with all the enemies with a bow and scout. Enough. It's not fun and terribly boring. It feels like work not a game to relax and enjoy.

And of course, moderators trying hard to remove this post from the first page, why aknowledge feedback when you can hide it? disgusting.

It's not called rules, it's called control, and Bungie is obsessed with controlling how their player base plays their game. Can't have you burning through their little next to nothing at all content, now can we?

Bump. It’s ridiculous.

It's not about fun it's about player retention and stretching it as far as it will go

Yep its a game about being all powerful, but not too powerful. Its about customization, but all the activities you literally level up and customize for, and test for say [i]"nope, got to use this other stuff instead"[/i] so why even build in the first place then? If my build has to be compromised for endgame activities, or I can only use specifics, then remove building entirely because its really the only place we actually need an optimal build for our playstyle, and its a pointless game feature if it cannot be utilized in full for endgame activities. Any good developer would understand this. Limitations are for those that want way more challenge. Its a special smaller group of people, not the majority. Every base level activity from Strikes to GM to raids should be the hard endgame difficulty it is, that's easily accessible to everyone. They should have one extra high, ultimate difficulty version of those high level activities for those that are that desperately masochistic enough to play, that gives whatever limitations (all of them why not? Rotate modifiers by match) and only awards cosmetics or titles, and nothing more, because true skilled players recognize their level is way higher, so they only play for the challenge and don't require special loot. However, there is also the matter of the players who nobody can control, so all of that [i]"must have_________ to join"[/i] as much as its complete nonsense, can't be helped unless Bungie removes LFG completely. Demands can't be made if it doesn't exist. That's really the only solution that can be offered to avoid this stuff.

Expect this to change, years down the line. After all it's taken 8 years for a in game lfg, gaurdian comandations, and more to be announced as upcoming standard features. I genuinely love ya bungue but your equally on par with the mountins you wanna climb, as your comparable to launch day cyberpunk.

It's almost like Master/Grandmaster difficulty isn't made with player fun in mind and the restrictions are there for difficulty purposes. Anyway, fun is subjective.

This!!! 👆🏻
