bungo maek boss no hit me pls is maek gaem soopur hard UwU

A well-timed melee cancels stomp mechanic. Work on your timing. If they remove it, you can just run up and gut punch everything. I regularly use a sword this season, and stomp mechanic really isn’t an issue. This game has already become stupid easy, no sense in making it even more because you don’t want to get better.

Lol a servitor just a circular ball with no limbs whatsoever has a stomp ability. 😂

The mechanic itself is fine. The problem is that its WAY overused....and Bungie changed the way they design content to make it SUPER-annoying and cheap effort at artificial difficulty. The stomp mechanic was present in D1. But it was ONLY used with strike/story bosses and raid bosses. So it was easily managed. You gave them a wide berth and stayed out of the way. But in D2, Bungie: 1. Made strike bosses much more mobile....so they are much harder to avoid. So you get stomped a lot more often. 2. Move to the stomp mechanic to MINI-bosses, Public event bosses, and Gambit bosses/mini-bosses. So you are now getting stomped in lot more of the game's activities. 3. Bungie changed their content design. So every boss fight now takes place in either an inescapble bowl.....or some sort of open-edged platform. Which means you are frequently getting knocked into walls....and dying. Or getting stomped off the edge of the play space....and falling to your death. [i]Which is why people are FED UP with it. [/i] The strike in the Ascendant Realm where we have to go rescue that Awoken Tech Witch is a classic example. The last 1/3 of the strike is a running gun fight with the boss. But everywhere you are fighting her is an open ended platform. However she doesn't just stomp you when you are at melee range. She has the ability to basically stomp you/knock you around AT RANGE. ...and aboug 1 time out of three, she knocks you off the platform and its basically a OHK. A OHK that you are basically powerless to stop or really manage. So instead of coming off as "challenging"....the experience is randomly punishing and TILTING. You just get angry and frustrated. Stomp can stay. But Bungie needs to DRAMATICALLY reduce its presence in the game...and stop using it as a way to get cheap kills on players. It simply needs to be a knockback mechanic to push players back out to a distance where the boss can use its ranged attack.

You know you can just cancel the knockback by melee-ing right after they stomp right? This also doesn't solve the problem of the damage of the boss attack lol. It hardly matters that you get knocked back because most bosses straight kill you in 2-3 stomps anyways, if not outright one hits you with it in some cases. You'd have to remove the damage too, or drastically reduce it. If you did that, the game would be way too easy and bosses would be even bigger pushovers.

[quote]The title says it all really, the mechanic is dumb and outright annoying, you give us shotguns with 1-2 punch, with thundercoil a few high damage melee builds across the different classes, supers that rwquire us to shoulder charge the boss or at least get within a small distance for them, then you say, eh sorry! you cant use that, get within 10 feet of the boss and you get sent to the next postal zone or better yet straight into "killed by the architects" land. Why is this in the game? so we don't melt the boss in 10 seconds? don't give us the means to do then. Its a truly annoying on every level, who thought of this, better yet, who play tested it and then said, hey! what a great idea? if it cant be removed it should be toned down as if anything in the last few weeks it feels like it has been made even stronger.[/quote] Or... accept it's there and deal with it?

Why everyone says "bungo" rather than bungie. God thanks this season artifact has sword guard.no stomp

Reduce their push back and some damage while on the Reckoning Bridge. There probably is a small percentage of players who has a threat level shotgun with trench barrel. While others has the one-two punch shotgun. I agree that this mechanic is ridiculous however this is Bungie. During the bridge on Reckoning, I do use threat level all the time while over players use useless weapons to defeat them. That casual players just plays the game and when those players get stomped across the map. They all leave while blame each player not having a good setup. Another option is have another mechanic besides stomp and hopefully won't be more ignoring.
