New strike was terrible. How horrible. What terrible people at Bungie made th- Oh wait...

I mean seriously. How terrible. All it had was •New enemy mechanics •New area to play in •Multiple enemy spawns per strike •Different dialogue each time you play •New boss mechanics •Enemy traps for guardians •Showed swords in action •Shows in depth subclass builds •Showed artifacts •Showed new weapons •Two bosses •No bullet sponge bosses •Nowhere super safe to stand and cheese •Showed scanning items •Vanguard and ghost giving dialogue and lore while in the strike •New rewards specific to each strike And even though all we do on these forums is complain about bullet sponge bosses, and bitch that strikes take too long, we’re going to also whine that this strike was TOO SHORT AND DIDN’T HAVE BULLET SPONGE BOSSES. You people seriously befuddle me. So you’d rather have a boss with predictable movement and spawns? You’d rather they be bullet sponges? You’d rather they take an hour? Just in case you didn’t watch the stream, let me explain the boss fight. A huge ultra red centurion comes charging like a bull out of a huge door because your ghost is trying to defuse their bomb. But he isn’t a centurion. He’s charging at you with a jetpack and sword, stomping and slamming the ground around you, dealing great damage. Once you start damaging him, he summons reinforcements and once you get him to about 60% health, he runs away into a door. You can still damage him while he’s running. Once you clear adds, a huge blue cabal comes out of the door with a jetpack and mortar strapped to his back. He fires mortar rounds at you, that really hurt. They do have hang time, being mortar shells, and you can tell where they will land by blue circles on the ground. You have seconds to move away. He fires at a fast fire rate and summons more adds to kill you. Once he gets to 60%, he too runs away while you clear adds. Once they are dead, both he and his red brother come charging. This time, mortar guy has a bubble shield and increased damage. Red sword guy leaves sunspots where he slams which damage you while inside. Once one dies, the other takes the gear he had. So he can fire mortar shells and slash you with his sword at the same time. He also regains some health when his brother dies. If you can kill him, the strike ends. So my question is; You people got what you wanted. WHAT DO YOU WANT??? Edit: All arguments in here are blind hate. If anything has a cabal helmet, to you people, it's a reskin. In so, I'm done replying to people. They were 4 levels above. That's why it was easy and short. (I posted that early on when I read all of them at 200 replies when they were nothing but "RESKIN this and that")

  • I dont understand how people didn't like the stream. No it wasnt as hype filled as other streams, but it really showed off how improved the strike system is becoming and how awesome everything in it is.

  • Does anyone else realize this new strike is just TANIKS the CABAL version lol? It'll be fun for a few weeks and then it'll be back to the same "rushing straight toward the boss" just like every other strike.

        • We should play, mate. (haha.. get it?) No, seriously, you have a point. I guess everyone who complains, about the things we saw in the stream and the boss battle, is a spoiled little brat. C'mon, a strike that changes the spawns of enemys? I like the idea, maybe they´ll add things like this to the Patrol? Two bosses at once? NICE! Thanks!

        • I believe only the forums are filled with ppl that complain. Most if us players that like the game only read these things lol. The only time i know for certain ill be on here bitching and moaning is when they add pandas. I hated the pandas in WoW and ill hate them in destiny. THEY HEALED ME WITH KICKS!!!! KICKS FOR GODS SAKE!!! i hated those god damn pandas

          • They skipped through half of it intentionally, and the half was skipped through half way by the dainty girl known as mr fruit. The community isnt mad at the strike, its the middle person on the panel... I personally got reminded of WoW mechanics when the shield brothers encounter came up... I mean.. Its a perfect rendition of some encounters in WoW. Cant wait to see the sunless cell, fallen saber and kings fall..

              You don't need in-depth analysis to comprehend the whining . All you need to know is this. "A$$holes are always going to be a$$holes". As for me personally, I enjoyed the reveal.

                • Strike was dope, particularly because the boss(es) had an interesting mechanic. Kept the fight close, fast-paced, and fresh. Hopefully this paves the way for more intuitive steps for future encounters. With the edition of a close-range sword as a heavy, I think they're making strides away from the old "sit in the corner and shoot" strategies. Which I for one, am excited about.

                • My thoughts exactly. The majority of this community is so thick and stupid it gives me migraines.

                  • My thoughts exactly. I can wait to see what they do with the new raid if this is what one strike looks like.

                    • I really enjoyed it, I'm looking forward to playing it and the other new ones. Super excited about the sword being able to block too.

                    • Only thing that stuck out for me was the fact that all 3 ppl in the fireteam had fully upgraded skill trees and were level 40. Doing a lvl 36 strike? Was it? Try doing it early with 34's and barely any of the gear they had.... Looks challenging.

                      • I don't understand the hate either. Bungie/destiny is not perfect oh hell no, but seems like the community is against EVERYTHING!!! only one solution - stop playing
