(Yet another Edit for those who chose not read any part and jump to the conclusion that I'm bitching, or a scrub asking for it to be easier, and all that other crap. Im simply asking for a fair challenge not the bullshit that is currently associated with the encounter overall.) (Edit: I didnt write this to complain about not being able to beat Skolas I have beaten him I understand the basic strategy used to defeat him as well as the cheesy way to do it. I wrote this to voice my opinion on how unfair and unbalanced it actually is as a whole. The odds are stacked against you in a bad way. After beating it I didn't feel a sense of accomplishment more like a sense of relief that I got that over with. I play games to have fun and enjoy myself not to grind out unecesarily just for the sake of it) I think they should at least say something at this point because its getting out of hand. I have yet to see an actual "legit" strategy (That works efficiently every time) to defeat him and complete the round that doesn't involve simply spamming him with (Insert weapon here). Because its much easier to just constantly DPS and spam him than to actually do it properly because of all the cheap deaths involved with the encounter. I have personally killed him many times but a few of them ended in deaths without completely finishing the encounter. Either the mine spawns next to us and he teleports into it and kills us all, we get shot down by adds trying to run for the one in mid or far side, Or one of us dies and the one left alive cant grab the essence from the other player, Only one makes it to the mine but doesn't have enough time to fully dismantle or he does it so close to the timer that we all die but we still here "success guardians" as the game over countdown begins. I believe I have seen every possible way to fail miserably at it and its just painful, because I know its not due to lack of skill or knowledge of playing the game. None of the deaths felt like I did something wrong or deserved it they feel cheap and unwarranted. This "artificial difficulty" as I like to call it seems like Bullshit because its not even challenging or fun. Just bullet sponge enemies and bosses, countless enemies who kill you incredibly fast yet you do minimal damage to them, unrealistic/insanely difficult circumstances that cause instant failure if not achieved and so on. I know im not the only one suffering through this because even the Top, Elite, Pro Destiny players encounter the same exact difficulties with this. Im glad they did something about Qodron they must've realised that the encounter was exaggeratedly difficult and slightly unplayable. Now its time they address Skolas. Or is it that they simply want it to be this insane so that everyone spends countless hours trying and failing at it so that time goes by till they drop the next DLC? Its the only reason I can see of why they would do this, to keep everyone busy with this "content" till the next one is ready to be put out to market. I see it as a wrong mindset because the Prison over all is quite enjoyable and worth replaying many times (Except for Skolas that is) And Trials Of Osiris is a great way to kill tons of hours just trying to stay flawless. Thanks for reading my long essay/Rant I hope it gets the right persons attention so that something can be done.
