never ever seen these kind of systems in a shooter your reward for leveling up is a consistently worse experience with less and less fun, the game acts as if playing this game is some kind of ultimate privilege and that the worst parts of it are to be treasured and endless time wasted on the most tedious and annoying experiences to be found in any game rpg mechanics that utterly defeat the benefit of leveling you never feel stronger this is just an unbelievably blunt hamster wheel chasing metrics above anything and utterly disconnected from the actual play experience. Just a bunch of novice anvil level adjustments to make sure players have to constantly grind. There is no art whatsoever to this design. Nobody at bungie in touch with what creates the addictive experience. This team just tears away basically all of the dopamine by punishing you for success on every level. it's not like other games couldn't put this crap on their games, but nobody wants to because it simply isn't fun for most players and a tiny slice of players can't carry your bad design. amazing that a team with this low level of design skill is in charge of this massive billion dollar franchise
