[quote]Sad To make matters worse, Excision can barely support 12 players 🫠[/quote] It scales difficulty to how many players are in there, so you’ll have a smoother and easier time with less than 12.

No, I’m talking about performance. I completed organized a 12-man GM excision for my buddy and it was almost unplayable unless half the team was dead. We finished with 2 revives and I had to tell everyone without raid experience to stay dead to finish the final damage phase because all the enemies were warping everywhere. It was an issue at PEAK final shape player numbers upon finishing excision that the game just bugged out. None of your guns would render after finishing and you had to reset D2. It’s only gone downhill from there. They can’t support the current activity. And to be honest, probably, I wonder if it is actually their strategy to de-incentivize playing parts of the game to throttle upkeep for all the game.

It’s why I said you’ll have both a smoother and easier time playing with less people. It’s why this game doesn’t have any other 12 player activities. They stated as such prior to adding excision, but since people really wanted a 12 player activity, they added it. No that it had great replay ability outside of getting your deep sights after a raid clear.

Escalation Protocol was a 12-man activity and it ran flawlessly 6 years ago. Bungie has zero vision and resource planning to sustain a pivotal moment for the entire franchise.
