The game is becoming more difficult year after year and I think Bungie is losing players because of it. We don't hear from them, because they are gone, they just leave.
I think things have steered to much towards movement, making it so that players must zip around everywhere to survive. Which is a little harder to do on controller(console) than mouse and keyboard.
......
I just deleted my other thoughts on this because I don't feel like listening to elitist comments. I was merely expressing my opinion that this game is leaning towards being too sweaty for casual gaming. I think a lot of us don't really care about raids, dungeons, and exotic missions. They are not worth the time and effort.

Edited by Kenny: 6/9/2025 5:03:57 PMI think the core issue is not the diffculty itself, but bungie's tendency to favor more and more mechanics in hope that it will make the game more interesting or challenging. Meanwhile it's just annoying. Timers or elaborate mechanics to remove immunity shields from bosses - is the opposite of fun for me. I had fun doing Haunted Sectors (even on legend with randoms and matchmaking) , but I didnt have any fun playing the Guardian Games boss rush. Now for RoTN Prophecy they added timers on the rainbow road ... LOL why?
