they invented the "grind for the grind" in a way that just feels like going into a hamster wheel. it´s just boring at this point and unrewarding as hell
When my crew an I did it, we had a blades Hunter, a Phoenix Well Warlock, and a Nezarac Sin Novawarp Warlock.
The trick for downing the Warden at the end is have one guy with Whisper in a Well at the back while the other two try to body block the adds for him.
Mind, we did this at 602~ Power, so folks might get away with playing a bit more dangerously at higher power.
My two cents.
Do people actually like LL grinding? I've always thought it was shit personally. Especially as Light Level only really affects you when you are under the recommended LL, being around or well above it has never really felt any different to me.
I get if it's hard, a max level really sticks out, so I get those who like it as a way to flex a little, but it's really just a massive turn off for me as someone who usually just plays solo and I'm just not really close to catching up after a little while.

Yeah, power level grinding is a really low effort way to encourage people to keep playing the game. Most games like this will make it a grind for gear with better stats.
Blind well should still be doable with a fire team of 3 though. You only need more than 3 if people are underleveled I think (at least tier 2 is fine; haven't done the higher tiers with just 3 as matchmaking has always added blueberries).
D2 vanilla and CoO were the best system for LL since hitting max light was very easy. After CoO bungie has been listening to the players who complained about it being too easy to get to max light, and also about wanting light to feel more meaningful, and made a lot of changes related to that (power levels enabled in iron banner, return of "immune" enemies if too low level, increase grind to actually max level) to please those players. They're definitely out there and were complaining quite a lot when d2 launched that light was too easy to get...
Edit: here's bungie talking back in April about why they went back to the grind https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46754
Forsaken seems to have stuck with this mindset.
Who is keyboard whining here? It's actually an extremely civil discussion.
Why are you always so allergic to even the slightest Destiny criticism?
Not a fan of content basically forcing a grind on day one when you're top tier 600 from the previous release. So I played for about 3 hours last night and literally did nothing but powerful activities e.g. daily gambit, 3 games of gambit, vanguard strike etc. In all that time I only got 2 purples above where I am, 602 and 605. I moved up to 602.
So on those rates I'll need to play for 15 hours over 5 days to just be the base recommended light of 610 for the first Forge. Ugh. Why drop blues anymore? Why drop them 20- levels down? Let me infuse my way out of the grind or something.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the matchmaking aspect, thanks for that Bungle, nice work. After a few attempts and getting matched with powerful players who were just 603 as well we cleared the first Forge wave and got our asses handed to us on the second wave.
Seems like great content and weapons but not being able to progress through and having such a massive time sink is off putting.

lol, all weeklies and full raid clear on one character, only 608. This is fun. I'm having fun.
I finished all 3 story missions in Dreaming City. Is that all there is for the solo player (I've done the strike as well)?
There's the ascendant challenge - do you basically have to use a guide to find it? I've run around using the tincture a few times and never spotted anything out of the ordinary. Is it solo content even?
Thx

You don't understand you have to earn the increase not have it given to you /s
Same place I'm at. And wondering if I should break down and run through the whole thing again on character 2 to maybe push me up to 610.
Blindwell being broken isn't helping matters
What, you don't like having to search for 2 more people on destinylfg.net when just last week you could stumble into a 6-man group that could destroy tier 4 in 10 seconds?
You can find it on your own. Whenever you're in the area of it you'll see a small text in the bottom left feed that says something like "The walls of reality grow thin". You don't need to be Ascendant to get that message. If you don't want to use a guide every week, the best thing to do is look up where they all spawn (because they're only ever in certain areas) and check those spots yourself on reset.
Pretty sure all of the challenges are soloable if you're not crazy underleveled though some are easier than others.
Destiny for me now is just Gambit, Quick Play, Tangled Shore patrolling and maybe a Flashpoint.
I am disappointed with the Season Pass where they lock the fun at PL 625, pretty lame.
I want Tower Faction Vendors back

its sort of meant as a solo activity since if you die you cant be revived anyways but its way easier with another person. there are clues in the bounty on where the portal is i think this week it mentions a garden which is referring to the garden of esila. though if you're not high enough power you'll probably get one shot by the knights.
I tried yesterday to reignite my love, but its just gone. I wont clutter this board with complaints, I think this game just passed me by. :(
Yep:
That's neat, and nice they're addressing the sentiment. I was happy with the grind but won't say no to jumping in now.
Err... They lowered it by 5, so standard enemies should be 610, and the boss should be 620.
Absolutely nuts that they're now saying, "oh shit, we didn't realize you guys didn't want to grind the same old content you've been grinding for 3 months. We'll look into that."
lol, what
Nice to know they're listening and willing to change things on the fly where they can. Cheers Bungie.
Must want more and more of the player base to fracture off and leave.
Regardless of what they do, I'm leaving on Friday. Path of Exile and Smash are better.
what?
IMO, there shouldn't even be a Power Level increase to 650, I would have preferred if everything stayed at 600 and that we just enjoyed the countent with the pain of Infusion.
I worked my ass off to perfect my Armor ; the Power Level increase just set me back to wear random shit gear that is higher Power
Nothing like a power level cap increase to remind you of how dumb infusion is now.
Yup!
Oh! you used your Mods on on your 600 Armor? Fuck YOu LOL
Oh! you carefully collected and chosen a speciic Weapon Scavenger loadout? Fuck YOu LOL
It's so dumb
now all guardians are gonna look like shit with tacked on random armor just based on power levels
Nope, the first Forge IMO should be an entry level Forge at 600.
you have 4 Forges, the 1st one did not need to be a kick in the balls for 600s
lmao at spawning into a Forge as the 10 second timer for having failed the event is counting down.
Edit: Now that I'm actually playing Forge, it's interesting how the only mechanic involved in it (throwing the ball at the forge) is completely busted and most of the time it bounces off of it for seemingly no reason. Also, why are people going AFK in this activity?

This franchise deserves better and it's sad that we'll never get to see the original vision of the game.
Just once in my lifetime I want to see a Destiny like game with areas so big and populated with npcs, quests and little details that it would take weeks alone to take just one planet in. If you see, you can go, barely any loading, fully customizable characters, actual in game HQs for your clan, etc. But with current hardware and resources a game on that scale is a pipe dream.

Even on next gen hardware I doubt we'd see anything like what you're describing, I mean there's Star Citizen....yikes
how's RDR2 online?
No Bungie, why would I want to try again with the same fireteam? Throw me into another random group. This is great.
In the middle of Forge
I'm having so much fun playing this video game.
had it too, now the guitar is in the forge....man this update...
At least they're consistently awful at all things matchmaking related.
