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.

    I wish I could disagree. It just feels like Bungie has lost touch with good game design. They seem to have this mindset that challenge = fun, and so anything that screws over the player is enjoyed. Almost as if they see players as masochists. From a player's point of view, it appears that they prefer giving enemies what I like to refer to as "bs tactics." That being basically anything that doesn't have proper counter play or can screw over the player without being clear what the player did wrong. Often times the player didn't actually do anything wrong and just got unlucky. Oh you're having fun slaying enemies? Oops, your bow shot doesn't one shot crit this attendant this time, now you get yanked from behind into a slow field surrounded by adds. Or the classic "let's all randomly target this specific player all at once" strategy I've seen an entire battlefield of enemies use to insta-kill me a few times. When they design things, it appears they don't do it to improve the game. It always seems just to give players another hurdle to jump over for loot, but they also know players will complain if it's too boring, so they make it "hard" to compensate. The game has, for the most part, devolved into a treadmill of tasks and chores to get watered down loot. The only reason I keep playing is to keep up to date, and I do still find little pockets of fun when things feel like they just work in my favor. I've found I enjoy the game drastically more and am much more willing to play more if I feel like what I'm doing is working. It kills my mood when the game just randomly decides to punish me. Not for something I did, but just because it wants to be "hard."
