I am once again calling for difficulty and challenge to be nerfed across the board. The game is being beat by Warframe and most decent fair looter titles even Diablo 4 may pass up destiny soon in player population. You abandoned your players to tune up difficulty to inflate player metrics and they have abandoned you. The stuido itself has fostered every negative aspect of its reputation and community. Things like perfect tracking around and through cover,infinite range, aimbots, aoe through geometry, knockback. I feel like I’m playing the saltagreppo dbag difficulty. It needs to be said that there are a caliber of players that you simply cannot nerf. Like salt or esoterickk. They will always outperform what you create but creating something that only challenges that player abandons the broader audience which you did with lightfall and are currently paying the price for. The massive amount of nerfs to player experience have massively overinflated the difficulty it goes from no difficulty to gm instantly. Bungie this seasons artifact specifically show how bankrupt the studio is creatively that you had to nerf hammer titan for some delusion of balance. I’m beyond sick of being nerfed only to have power resold to me in the seasonal artifact and what makes it worse is there is no revert after said seasonal artifact is gone. The studio is terrible at what they think will be problematic to what actually is in reality problematic. Like one can guess that hammer titan was nerfed because of the weakening seasonal perk that makes kinda sense but where is the guarantee the nerf gets reverted when it goes away? There is none and a play style was lost forever one that was a staple of the subclass for some dumb devs ego and laziness. The ever present and consistent entropy on player power fantasy build crafting and investment is why you are regarded with the lowest of respect because these practices are despicable and should be criminal in the gaming space. Players shouldn’t hate a studio and want its downfall that should never be apart of these kinda relationships but the degree that bungie has gone to undermine anyone moderately invested in this game has created this sentiment. Personally I continue to play despite bungie because I enjoy my friend groups but unless there is a mass revert of light falls nerfs and affect on the game I’m done and will not purchase the final shape in protest. The guardian that Sherpa’d me in my very first raid that became a really close friend brought me and my friend group together can’t even touch the game because of what you’ve done to it. Has gone as far as asking us not to ask him to play destiny. You did that bungie and in the situation you are in these are the people you need to earn back with what happens next. The final shape has NO LEGS TO STAND ON if you don’t revert and shift yourselves away from everything that was attempted with lightfall and the negative business and development practices you use in game. Error on generosity and pursuing player satisfaction than challenge and hours of game metrics. If final shape is more of the same the consequences you should be aware of. For the dim this is not in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM about pvp. If I had anything to say is either let it die or explicitly and completely separate the balances and their practices and never nerf anything for pvp’s sake again in pve. PSA: with all due respect and to tone down any unnecessary ugliness please don’t comment if you have not done anything above base difficulty or (no shame) can’t or are unwilling to do any content that is harder. This is a discussion of the overall changes lightfall brought and it is hard to take anyone seriously who isn’t talking from experience. It does no good to fight over stuff that is just plainly content you don’t engage with. I think that’s fair.
