Can stuff just be fun?

The game is basically all Difficulty at the moment, and from the Renegades vidoc, it looks like it's gonna be even more difficulty. where are the activities that are made to be fun, as a break from the power grind, and playing everything on Ultimate. throw us a damn bone. The FOTL activity was so close, before it spams Dread at you that freeze, suspend, slow and pull you while Grims prevent you from healing, a shrieker shoots you from across the map, and I still have to hit the Hive ritual to stop the ogre from pile driving me with it's eye blast.

  • Let's not forget this is also like the 5th day in a row Grounded has been active against enemies that can spam slow you with little to no wind up/ time to react and can displace you into the air against enemies that can absolutely shred you (themselves included) or cause so much flinch/ screen shake you can't line up a shot. Or how about modifiers that punish you for doing good like Combat Fatigue, like what kind of backwards logic is that to punish someone for being the "MVP"? Then you die and lose your Hat damage bonus, nerfing you back to fighting enemies that are stronger than they have any right to be while you yourself are nerfed like 4 times over or the enemy buffed just as much. Then we have that cesspit of cheaters, tryhards, and griefers in Red Rumble what with all the spawn killing that's so bad I've personally been spawn killed SEVENTEEN TIMES IN A ROW being the record. 12 because I kept spawning in the same area I kept dying in to be killed by the same guy I just got spawn killed by, several times with movement and accuracy so insane for a console player at those ranges with their guns I have no doubt they were using Xim/ Cronus or MnK which last I heard is cheating in console lobbies. 5 of those 12 I had multiple shooting me before I could even leave the area. 4 of the 17 times I died were to the same super because it spawned me in their path, a super that hunters can't outrun and I had nothing to fight back fast enough with. And the one time it spawned me elsewhere, I spawned in front of a sniper. Any other game with spawns this bad would've already implemented spawn invincibility and started banning people for griefing/ cheating via spawn manipulation. Back to the PvE side of things. I can't think of anyone I know who actually enjoys having their progress invalidated via the forced power deltas no one asked for in every activity now. But we got higher light level drops (worthless because of said deltas) and QOL changes that should've already been in the game like gear dropping closer to our level and each completion/ bonus rewards adding to our progress and chances towards a prime engram. I'm not saying I want to breeze through everything, but I HATE always playing at a disadvantage and not being able to benefit from my time "becoming stronger". If I shouldn't be allowed to fully benefit from my time, Bungie shouldn't have any right to tell me how much time I need to invest to get the gear I want. It's only fair. Whether that's buying a specific roll for a specific tiered weapon with in-game free currency or focusing all my drops to be the gear of my choice. Difficulty is a joke because they neither reward you appropriately nor allow anything resembling a fair fight. The only way they can do difficulty is either bullet sponge enemies which no one likes, especially when this usually is thanks to them making your last 80 levels pointless, an insane number of enemies with no cover to work with which isn't fun or fair, or over complicated mechanics which no one likes. Guaranteed not one of them plays this game unless it's to show us "this is what we're working on". Even then, I doubt any of them can honestly say they enjoy it unless their definition of fun is synonymous with masochism or sadism.
