I remember Bungie mentioned GM Vanguard Alerts would be of similar difficulty as old GMs, we expected -40 power level (same power deficit as GM conquests). Went in there and tried a few loadouts, and every one feels horrible. Wish ender and Eriana’s Vow do not one shot barrier shields, Peregrine does about 1/2 of champ health etc. I don’t remember old GMs being this difficult. We were looking forward to new weekly challenges, I guess this is not it. This is a one and done deal for us, definitely not fun to be “farming” like older GMs… Before the “skill issue” or “git gud” posts, the wife and I are both conquer x 11 and we’ve always played end game in duo. We LOVE decent challenges, but this is definitely not it.
