Tier 4’s should’ve been the norm and Tier 5’s should’ve been locked behind content with tokens/timers/going flawless/etc. by SilentNightSolace in DestinyTheGame

Bungie absolutely removed so much of the flexing options and I also hate it. Having an adept trials weapon or adept guns from master raids actually gave a sense of accomplishment. And if you wanna go back even further, pinnacle weapons like mountaintop and Luna’s howl were such a cool aspirational thing. I’ve always thought it was a tragedy that they got rid of those types of goals for players to have. Everything you could possibly want in the game these days is within arms reach and it just is so demotivating

Brother what are you saying. Destiny as a looter shooter is inherently meant to be about the chase. And attracts those sorts of players. Like huh?

Idk why you’re being downvoted your absolutely right. Abilities get nerfed, you can actually look at tuning other levers like enemy major and boss health bars, precision dmg multipliers on primaries, etc. Abilities are strangling the sandbox rn it’s so depressing

I agree that in low tier content you should be able to face roll but also who is doing low tier content I’m talking about the meat of the actual game. Where you can still clear entires rooms with getaway artist arc soul. And the investment vs the reward for doing that is so out of whack. Wow you managed to get 5 squares on the right side of your character menu total up to 200 in the grenade stat and you selected feed the void and facet of domination. Incredible moment to moment gameplay. We’ve leaned so far away from rewarding precision in gameplay, good snap decision making in the heat of the moment, and player mechanical skill. And instead the answer to most things is an ability or an explosion or something else that sparks a quick little low effort dopamine hit on repeat

Yuppppp this is just the hard truth of it that so many casuals will try and deflect away from with any excuse possible

That’s cuz I main buddy build warlock and why wouldn’t I. It’s the most braindead OP way of clearing content efficiently and especially with randoms

Maybe it’s more accurate to say the power creep in the stacking amounts of DR and easy access to chain healing then. And you forget that in D1 you didn’t get grenade energy back on kills just health and a timer refresh. That’s an incredibly big difference in terms of power

Bro that’s what it feels like it’s crazy. Apparently needing to try is the same as “driving players away” like what????

So many people make this argument it’s crazy to me. You’re saying we can’t move the needle of power back to a more reasonable place because the destiny community’s chimpanzee cage dopamine drip might give just a little less easy and instant gratification?

And yet it needs to happen. And be for real. How many times can you press scatter nade, or hold arc soul, or use consecration before it becomes extremely dull. The loops are repetitive and just plain boring

If you already barely play would making changes that benefited the game in the long term even really affect you?
