I definitely agree with that you are saying for many things. The base difficulty of the game getting harder as you level up and get better gear feels weird. Currently the game should be catered towards newer and less experienced players to increase the player count. So the game needs a fluid onboarding process, easy to understand LFG and matchmaking, and some sort of story recap to catch people up to speed. The whole game doesn’t have to be a patrol zone don’t get me wrong. But the harder content should be optional for better rewards not mandatory. The game currently lacks any sort of division between semi rewarding easy content and very rewarding difficult content. Pinnacle ops is the best example IMO. Why would I ever do pinnacle ops when it requires me to make my own group for each run of an activity, MAYBE get through it if my team is competent, and then get similar rewards to what I would get for a regular fireteam op. I have 3 bonus engrams on almost all fireteam and pinnacle ops just because I can’t be bothered to put together 15 different groups to get them done. The bushido armor set and the pinnacle exclusive weapons are the only reason to run pinnacle ops ever now. Like I’m broke AF on enhancement prisms. At least have pinnacle ops be the best way to get materials or something!

What are you talking about? The game is the easiest it has ever been?

Could not agree more.

This is one huge reason of many why people have quit Destiny. I tried playing matchmade Widows Court onslaught today, after many failures with the randoms, I'm done. This level of "challenge" is just stupid. There is no loot in this game worth that level of sweat. It makes me sad to see this game head in the direction it has gone, I have never found a game that kept my interest like this one. Guess I have no choice now but to find a new passion in gaming.

[quote]The appeal of this game lies in its spectacular performance, farming, and storytelling.[/quote] Hero moments. One of the things that got me into Destiny 2 was popping Nova Warp for the first time and seeing half the Cosmodrome turn into a fine purple mist. You ever tried to use Nova Warp in high difficulty scenarios? It hits like a wet noodle. I don't know what to say on the subject of difficulty, I'm an average player on a good day, but I know that more players than just myself are frustrated by the current status quo. I can mostly muddle by, mostly, but that means half the bell curve is going to be struggling. As others have said: Destiny 2 needs to appeal to a lot of different players, casuals and the hard core, PVE and PVP, Raiders and Solo Operatives, and, allegedly, some people play Gambit. I don't know how Bungie crafts a game for all of us; that's not a dig at Bungie, it's commentary on the community, we're a mixed effing bag if ever there was one. I miss Strikes. Pop in, pop some heads, get some good loot. It wasn't a bad time.

Or you could just pick a lower difficulty.

This game is hard for some of you?

Them adding Forge would save this dying game. Have you seen how crazy and dedicated players are to make maps and fun and dumb game modes? 2025 Bungie can NOT save this game alone

I am certainly no very good player. Yet with patience and brain and certainly the help of my fireteam mates I managed the six GM conquests and made it to rank 10. It's not that hard plus Bungie toned difficulty down already. Could it be easier? Of course, but I believe they found a decent middle ground.

I dont think we're playing the same game, nothing in this game is difficult atm, the only thing that was overturned was day 1 desert perpetual, and the original -70 Kepler. If they make it any easier it wouldn't even be fun.....

Easy is boring
