Solo ops were actually relaxing and fun until the master tier difficulty started locking all the new event loot behind endless slogs of champions and intense modifies that make everything 2-3 shot you meanwhile it takes ages to clear a single room filled with nearly endless spawning enemies.
Who TF is play testing bungie games? I don’t give a crap what streamers think or what famous streamers want?
At what point is any of this loot, including tier 5 even worth it if you will always be F’ed by every enemy in the game at the “streamer paradise endgame”.
Stop making difficulty a bragging rights challenge, I don’t need twitch donations or the illusion of skill by wasting 20 minutes of my time on a single master solo op or 30-40 minutes on a single fireteam match made master op.
If I want to play a difficult game I’ll go find something like elden ring or dark souls 3, destiny is not that game. I don’t want a blood pressure raising experience 24/7 outside of raids and some dungeons.
I don’t give a crap if streamers get bored and nobody is impressed with them playing content that’s “too easy”. They can play other games or get real jobs like everyone else. They will disappear and be forgotten in a matter of time, they are not Keanu reeves or Leanardo di caprio. No one cares that much about these players. To the people who genuinely do, the people who would rather watch a streamer give updates on destiny news or livestream raid or PvP content than watch an actual new movie or show or anything else then I’m genuinely concerned for their well being.
You’re really pushing me bungie to stop playing until a new dlc drops and hopefully all this crap is long in the past. You’re sucking out all the interest I have left in this game by creating a game so annoyingly hard it’s no longer fun, since the “fun” doesn’t end. You just keep reloading the same missions to grind power.
It’s bad, very bad when pinnacle ops are more relaxing and easier than fireteam and solo ops of the same difficulty.
If I wanted the entire game to feel like a freaking day 1 raid, I’d just ask for it. But if it takes me quitting Destiny 2 to show how little I like this crap, then so be it.
Keep listening to your paid and sponsored streamers who operate in an echo chamber and prioritize content they can make money off of and or brag about beating to generate views and ad revenue.
You’re ruining this game bungie, the armor 3.0 just about saved this game. The new guns just about saved this game, but reaching this new threshold of “master” difficulty makes me lose all hope and lose all desire to keep playing if everything from here on out will just be a automatic day 1 raid experience from now until the end of time.
To whomever disagrees and thinks the game needs to be even harder, that they prefer this new “master” aka grandmaster 2.0 difficulty mode, then please go get help. Get therapy. Your family wants to see you leave your room. Your friends haven’t seen you in weeks and you should probably leave your house

You can walk right over Grandmaster solo ops by controlling your power delta to the enemies. If you use the following settings you'll never be more than -20 compared to the enemies, which is quite manageable: 1. Turn on all player stakes - Locked Loadout, No HUD, No Staring Ammo and Brawn 2. Turn on one Bane option That's it. I know a lot people hate playing with no HUD and no starting ammo, but you can finish pretty much all Solo Ops using abilities and primary ammo, until you pick up special and power ammo bricks, and get them done in <5 minutes. Just run the side objective, the main object, and kill the boss. Kills do not accrue points in Solo Ops, and there is no need to kill the champions except in the mines or if you need them for a "kill X number of enemies" type side objective. Once you approach power level 420 you may need to add an additional 10 points modifier (making the encounter -30), which will feel more difficult. That requirement will go away once you get past 410 (meaning you can go back to setup I initially provided). Maxing out your power level and collecting Tier 5 gear is no longer a matter of competing difficult activities. They are participation trophies for simply putting in the time.
