Why do people choose to increase their difficulty and then complain about increased difficulty?

[quote][quote]Total to actual people moron, you might meet a girl.[/quote] Big boy projecting? 🥺[/quote] Damn autocorrect is so bad. TALK, not total. Sorry about that. Leave old ladies on forums alone ok? Kind of pathetic to be mean to them.

It’s a genuine observation. There are what, six difficulty options? Why are people increasing the optional difficulty and then complaining that it is too difficult?

She didn't mention anything about increasing the difficulty of activities. I see where you're getting at that she could lower difficulty levels tho....just makes it so the payout isn't worth the time imo. I've become a 'play the activities I enjoy' player rather than always chasing high tier loot and levels like I used to . Has made the game enjoyable for me again. I do enjoy some of the "difficult" (as most forum users would call it) activities though.

Then add on sandbox changes as well. As for layout, compared to before, doing normal mode activities would give you tier 1 equivalent drops. Just like it does now. Playing harder content could give you the materials needed to craft or enhance to tier 2, which can also drop in normal mode. You are not getting worse rewards compared to before.

the problem isnt you get lower tiered loot at easier levels its you use to get certain exotics on normal difficulty but now to get choir of one i found out you have to do it on your difficulty level you are at and not only that but if you are in gm you have to do it on gm and get an A score. the exotic is significantly harder to get now if you leveled up in the game. i dont know if you can get it at master or expert with an a if you never leveled higher. there use to be the mission out side the portal but i dont think they would let you do it from the director on normal difficulty. new players might not be able to get those exotics when they were a lot easier to get where a grade was not required.

[quote]You are not getting wise rewards compared to before.[/quote] ...pretty sure you meant 'worse'..... this is what people can't see. the current system automatically tries to 'encourage' you to advance to harder and harder difficulties to those bigger and bigger rewards. but, staying at your comfort level now is no different than if you hit level cap before. yeah, you may not advance/increase in power but you still might get that roll you are looking for. it's just sad you have to manually adjust difficulty 'down' to what you enjoy playing because the system tries to automatically make you move forward and advance.

The new system definitely pushes more players into harder content than the old system. For the people who were doing harder content before, it’ll be easier now and you’ll get better loot.

Oh I agree completely with what u are saying. I dont think it's as well explained as it should be in game though. I just recently came back after taking (I think) a few months off.. and with me not actively trying to level, I haven't paid much attention to the rating system.

Which to a degree is how it should work, however it hasn’t been like that before and many players are confused on the elected aspect of difficulty. The game has overall gotten easier, making high end content less fun for those who were doing it before, however those who weren’t doing it before are now doing it due to leveling and matchmaking. The solution to play lower content isn’t accepted by the players who used to play easier content because they feel entitled to the higher tier loot now that it exists. What’s worse than having an exclusive weapon in hard content for those people is having a better version of their gun in higher level content, even if the better version is marginally better in an almost unnoticeable way.

I dunno if I'd say the game has gotten easier. It's given people the choice to make activities easier or harder which is a good start...just like you mentioned, a lot of players aren't choosing to customize and are just hitting launch expecting a base level activity but end up in over their head.

This is on top of the enemy health nerf, addition of weapons and 100+ ability stats, new gear bonuses and modular difficulty that lets you customize every activity. The game has gotten easier relative to same difficulty selected prior to the release of EoF.

You’re so SMART Mr. Bore… such a DESTINY ELITE GENIUS….. you must have to fend the suitors off with a stick. How’re the changes Bungie has implemented working out for them? Player numbers are off the charts, right?? The critics and content creators are singing their praises to the skies, right?? People are not exiting in droves, and they’re all encouraging friends to pick it up and join in, right?? Sony is OVERJOYED with their acquisition, because revenue numbers are WAY BEYOND expectations, right?? The Destiny Elite, (your crowd) didn’t feel the need to CHEAT their way through contest mode this expansion, right???? You should change your handle to Insufferable Bore.

Also…I’m pretty sure…. in my reply… that you quoted…there isn’t any mention of the “difficulty system”.. …yep, I just checked. Not a single mention of any “difficulty system”. Maybe bone up on what I typed again, and then feel free to actually address ANY of the questions I posed, Troll.

You came here all butthurt without knowing anything about the topic lol.

Changing the subject, (deflecting) isn’t going to get my questions answered Boring… I understand your reluctance to actually address those questions, but those are the things germane to our convo. If you feel like continuing, you can address them, if not, I’ll accept your capitulation and move on… you’ve proven your handle to be true, yet again.

Read the thread buddy. Or is it insensitive for me to assume you can read? My apologies. I don’t intend to respond to a bunch of rhetorical statements made by you in a whiney baby tone. If you have a question, ask it and I’ll happily respond. Drop the toddler talk though.
