The Nether

[i]<Long, [b]EXASPERATED[/b] sigh>[/i] Okay. Where... to... start... The Deadnut is back, I was hoping it would be like the haunted leviathan. I really was. I saw "explore" and really felt a little flicker of hope. To my [i]very slight disappointment[/i] it was an activity, with modifiers, one of which completely removes a core mechanic that we've held to, [i]built[/i] into, for 10 years mind you, a mechanic we [b]needed[/b] to pay attention to for 10 years. I thought to myself "oh it's like attrition in strikes yeah?" I pushed myself through, I re-entered this once-hallowed place after "porpoise" had cut my initial attempt short. I studied what was happening, I learned and leaned into what I was presented with for half an hour. I set aside my distaste for the modifiers to really jump into this in good faith, utilizing the rest of my available equipment to the best of my warlockly abilities. And then, the final tormentor. It was here that I had to stop and ask myself why I sank an hour into something for which my hatred only grew like the burgeoning hunger of the necrochasm. It was here I saw your desire to bastardize the roguelite [i]compelled you[/i] like the corpse of an undead friend exhumed by primordial urges to ensure we couldn't even get a smidgen of healing outside of RNG. Where I couldn't recover damage, I chose to evade. But the dread prevented that in various ways. Famine made munitions scarce, so I turned to my offensive abilities, which were quickly swatted away from me via suppression like my unfaithful ex-lover slapping me as I questioned her for the first time. On top of that, one of your eversion ritual grim had glitched out of existence, providing this tormentor with an irrevocable source of healing, as if to mock how you gave my guardian AIDS after years of utilizing recovery to survive. I tried my best to hold onto hope. I want to like this game. After Revenant the bar wasn't even on the ground it was buried in the rubble of Destiny and you brought an excavator to the grave for the sole purpose of still underperforming. I can't even bring myself to finish the first run. I don't even know what to say. God, bungie- [i]Why? What were you thinking?[/i]

    Frustrated - old

    Yep same, that tormentor was my "whelp I'm not having FUN playing this video game" moment for me too the whole activity but especially that and what you said I play games for fun, not work,

          It was overall fun and new, like a paraplegic walking for the first time, then the tormentor came in like a dude with a lead pipe and ruined the fun for a bit and my flawless :( Edit: i forgot also but I found a new bug maybe! The guardian apparently dropped his gun because it wasn't on the screen at all! And the dodges either weren't going ivis, going 3rd person and just shifting me or both! Good chuckle though

        • I committed myself to finishing a run. [i]Even with the Crimson bug, I cannot put into words the sheer disdain I hold for this activity purely for the health bullshit.[/i] If healing can only come from one source, [i]then please god make sure it actually works? PLEASE?[/i] I lost count of how many times I walked over a healing orb to not even get the tiny -blam!--hair's worth of "healing" it provides. When they [i]did[/i] work I was again, practically insulted- the scarcity I experienced along with the infinitesimally small boost they gave to my lifespan felt more like a slap in the face when considering how much hurt just the ads can do to my [b]100 resilience guardian.[/b] To whoever decided that we should just not get heals at all, while holding objectives with little to no cover, [i]while fighting enemies that drop seekers who will manuever behind that cover, WITHOUT MATCHMAKING, know this- If I ever see you in game,[/i] [b]I will rend thy flesh across the stars.[/b]

        • same, got to that point, still had many revives left, got him down to qtr bar left only to die and then go back in to see the regen health back to almost full, no special, no heavy, primary damage only plus abilities. That's when i decided "click" time to go do something else for this is not fun. it just wasn't fun.

        • TL;DR - “I haven’t stuck with it long enough to unlock the buffs available from the seasonal vendor that would make all my complaints moot.” They’re trying something new. They told us well in advance through multiple channels they were trying something new. Give it a chance, change up your build, experiment.
