GM Conquest: Spire | Does Bungie playtest top difficulty?
I would love a response to this question:
Does anyone at Bungie play test top difficulty content
(specifically GM Conquest: Savathun Spire) with all these terrible challenge modifiers at all?
I mean... Some of the enemies are nearly immortal, all 3 guardians can literally spend over a braindead minute just firing, non stop at these boring bullet sponges. Does anyone play this crap and feel entertained or good at all? Literally spending 40 minutes on this damn mission to then just fail the mission. I liked grandmasters when enemies weren't these absurd bullet sponges.
Even a stupid thrall takes almost an entire mag of bullets to take down or more, even using top damage option weapons.

3 RepliesYou think that's bad wait till you do the 510 one it is awful it's basically a flawless speed run because you can't die there's no revives and only have 18 minutes to do it and if you don't do it in that time frame you get kicked to orbit

The game is tanking real bad! Their streamers complained the game was too easy so they thought it was a sentiment of the whole community.

Edited by Obelix: 9/24/2025 9:04:52 PMI had the same experience with Savathun Spire couple weeks ago. The modifiers mix made it so ridiculous that I could kill mini boss yellow bar faster than an orange bar. Some even took a took a full glacial quake super to kill. So short answer is: no. They don’t test it.

Everything after about power level 300 feels like it was designed on paper and never tested end to end. Nobody ever went to check if the game was actually fun to play. I don't even mind content that difficult, so long as it drops rewards worth running it for. But right now, once you hit 300, [i]everything [/i]that drops [i]anything [/i]you could use as an upgrade just gets to be more and more of a slog to play, and you get peanuts for it. Who thought players would want to deal with so many modifiers ghost can't even display them all just to get one or two drops that are one or two points higher than their current average? And to do that for 200 ding dang power levels?

Its so unbalanced with these Modifiers. I was being 1 shot tonight and I was 2 lvls higher and Rank 5 gear Games an absoulte joke at the moment. Nothings tested just thrown together and frustrates. 6k hours into this game and so close to deleting it forever

They don't. They just threw toys in the playpen, and said 'here ya go kids, go play".

I actually thought spire wasn't bad other than not seeing your load out at all.. Delve and fikril were a pita...the problem I have with conquests( other than bullet sponges) and because of that you have to run double primary. You'll run out of special on one enemy. Second the timers are way to short . You have to get what lives you can.. I wish they would gm nightfalls back..now try ultimate conquests ..don't die

Have they ever tested anything? Every update breaks half the game, half the remainder stops working, and the rest becomes victims of error codes. If the devs can't do it without immortality and infinite ammo, they shouldn't make it a "challenge" for players.

As soon as I saw it I was like that's me stuck at guardian rank 9 & I'm not even attempting it. Savathuns spire is some of the worst content they've ever made, even on very low levels it's like contest of elders on steroids - basic intern design, small rooms, crazy amounts of endless spawning ads, bosses with huge health pools - not fun at all so no way I'm even playing it.

We need to feel powerful again!

Pre ash and iron it was easier and the difficulty said easy now after the update it says hard and the enemies are red bar even tho I am 440 and the gm is 380

I can hardly do the master one. I guess I am forever 9 🤕
