CONTEST OF ELDERS IS THE BIGGEST WASTE OF TIME.
So today mint retrograde is on Contest of Elders. In the current system it is an absolute waste of time and with these pumpkins exploding and killing you not to mention the pumpkin launcher ads one shoting you, it's miserable. This event already takes forever to do and the payout is trash. No exaggeration it's just bad.
Perfect prime example of not being play tested to see player experience to rewards given. The time it takes to do all of these rooms not to mention if there is punishments that you have to go through which happens a lot because randoms don't know what's going on half the time it's a little waste of effort.
This is why -30 for rank 11 level 550 is a complete joke and unfair.
I know I'm wasting my breath but it just takes the wind right out of you whenever you're trying to enjoy yourself in the game and it finds a way to continuously deflate enthusiasm towards it.

chill touch also needs to be removed from ultimate tier. With the amount of banes active chill touch is a guaranteed death. rage bane also needs to be toned down a bit as well. it takes a clip of mint to kill one of them.

They do play test, but in "dev build" being 50 over the power level so the difficulty is way off

1 ReplyThe whole thing is outrageous. I am 550, and can't even get past the second encounter (tried on a grand master even at 400). Sometimes not even at the first... I have tried 10 times now... I am not doing it ever again... Bungie this now another you can count me out from doing this again until you make it better.

2 RepliesThis is harder than Avalon Conquest lmao. How in the world did Bungie decide this was tuned correctly?

Well thankfully the pumpkins are gone tomorrow. But yes that is one of the hardest missions to do. The limited revive system has several flaws. Notably highlighted in contest of elders.

I personally believe it's not the deltas It's the caps if we could over level the activity with effort and time it wouldn't be that bad It would give us a goal to play get stronger than our opponent then farm the crap out of the gear we want constantly being at a handicap is not fun the modifiers should increase the amount of loop we get not be the only way we can get loot sometimes you just want to play a base activity and if my rewards are at the bare minimum but still progress that's fine if I wanted to try hard I would add all those modifiers but I just want to relax and play but I can't because zero progress and if I'm not making progress what's the point of even playing

It wouldn’t be too bad if you could get plenty of revives, but as is, it’s a joke.

I wasn’t running the most cracked build….but had a teammate who wrecked one level and got zero revive tokens for the team. How do you even get revive tokens if there are no champions? Not fun. I don’t care if it’s pinnacle ops, etc… I’ve done these activities prior to the portal and they were fine.

Agree, that’s what happened when you leave difficulty scaling to an Excel file randomly mixing modifiers from a list.

Sounds like a skill issue, I saw streamers do it. GiT GuD
