TBH at its current difficulty, I'd just leave it as a hard mode and let players matchmake for a normal mode. Lots of other MMOs do that. Design the hard mode, simplify it into a normal mode that anyone can just matchmake into. Bam, done. With leviathan it hardly feels necessary because there's no story to it really. At least in TTK, defeating Oryx was the campaign and then finishing him once and for all in the raid was a great capstone. Sure, not all content was tied together in that manner but enough was. Destiny 2...meh.

Why don't we let them keep doing the one thing they are kinda good at now. Also, I don't trust bungies ability to make a deec raid that can also be reduced to something fun with randos. They need to just make a loving wave horde mode already and they can't/won't.

A Buff Gay Dude posted:Given that the raids have always been pretty dang cool and strikes with mechanics have been poo from a butt... well, you're not arguing from a good place. Why don't we let them keep doing the one thing they are kinda good at now. Agree. They should have kept strikes like they were in year 1 of Destiny and not added various random modifiers or poo poo to slow them down. People on xbox missed how fun it was the vex strike in the black garden, since once you reached the staircase you just had to open your way supering yellows out of existence. If you didn't super your way and create balls of lights you were doing it wrong. In any case strikes with mechanics are poo from a butt because you want to finish them asap to farm efficiently whatever thingmajing and gizmos they used to give out. Truth is that they just needed to be tweaked, stuff that they had plenty during vanilla destiny but never had during TtK: case in point: the vex strikes with the gates was good when you reached the boss section. SABER? With that vandal snipers/ogres warsat phase? Yuck. A Buff Gay Dude posted:Also, I don't trust bungies ability to make a deec raid that can also be reduced to something fun with randos. I suspect that the answer to the both two points will be "Nobody will play our lovely raid and people will just write bad words on reddit, see what happened with Prison of Elders which was cool, good, but 3 players only"

Also because Bungie decided to drop all the RPG mechanics the game had and spent time to casualize it. Now they are scrambling to promise "oh yes guys, grind will be more meaningful, soon we will add to Destiny 2 (list of stuff they could have not dropped from the drat loving sequel)".

Patch Notes. And lol of course Crucible Labs didn’t make it on time. DESTINY 2 UPDATE 1.2.1 0h - Destiny Dev Team Events Faction Rallies Information concerning Faction Rallies will be made available on 5/31 in the “This Week at Bungie” blog article. Sandbox Exotic Armor Hunter Mechaneer’s Tricksleeves While you are critically wounded, swapping to a Sidearm increases its damage (2x in PvE, 1.33x in PvP). The Dragon’s Shadow Dodge reloads all weapons simultaneously. Dodging now also grants +5 mobility for the duration of Wraithmetal Mail, in addition to its previous benefits. Added a UI indicator for the Wraithmetal Mail buff. Titan Lion Rampant Hipfiring no longer interrupts Lift. Increased hipfire accuracy while airborne. Synthoceps Now grants a flat melee damage bonus for 8 seconds when you are surrounded by three or more enemies (3x in PvE, 2x in PvP). This buff also increases Super damage while active (+50%). Warlock Lunafaction Boots Now allows your Rift to continuously reload weapons while you or allies stand in it. Empowering Rift grants a boost to weapon range and aim assist. Sunbracers Solar melee kills now grant unlimited Solar grenade energy for a short duration. Weapons Legendary Shining Sphere Replaced Pulse Monitor perk with Quickdraw. Exotic Skyburner’s Oath Fixed an issue that caused this weapon’s sound effects to play too quietly while you are aiming down sights. SUROS Regime Fixed an issue where players could not reload while ADS. Perks Trench Barrel Fixed a bug that allowed this perk to activate after making melee attacks on friendly targets. Exotic Masterworks MIDA Multi-Tool The Masterwork catalyst can now be obtained by the most determined competitors in the Crucible. Activities Crucible Crucible Labs Crucible Labs will allow Guardians to play experimental Crucible content. Crucible Labs will become available at a later date. Stay tuned to @Bungie on Twitter for announcements. The Crucible Labs playlist will be active periodically for feedback. General Fixed an issue where players would lose Rank Points for leaving a match too soon after the match ends. Fixed a memory issue that was causing PC players running at low texture quality to frequently hit BEET or KALE errors while loading into 6v6 Iron Banner. Fixed the space flights of 3+ minutes players experienced while loading into 6v6 Iron Banner that were caused when they hit BEET and KALE errors. Public Events Fixed an issue that prevented players from triggering the Heroic “Warsat Down” public event when Shriekers would close too quickly. Strikes Removed "Exodus Crash" from Heroic Strike Matchmaking. Fixed an issue where players could join in-progress and become stuck behind a door in the strike “Exodus Crash.” Fixed an issue where Heroic strike milestones and quests was not progressing due to Vanguard Boons. Fixed an issue where players could get stuck joining allies repeatedly in the strike “Lake of Shadows.” Added a score modifier display on the item detail screen for Nightfall Challenge Cards. Heroic strikes will now award Escalation Protocol Key Fragments. Heroic strikes now have a chance (~25%) to award powerful engrams of up to 360 Power. Raid Fixed an issue where launching a one-use Super just as you catch the “Spire of Stars” relic would not consume Super energy. Changed the “Spire of Stars” relic’s time-out splash damage to allow damage to targets. The raid vendor will now have a unique performance after you have completed “Spire of Stars.” Fixed an issue where Calus’s shield had greater health than intended. Updated the Guided Game tooltip to correctly reflect the required Power level to launch. Robes of Sekris (Warlock raid chest armor) will now display hanging cloth correctly. The cost of “Spire of Stars” rewards from Benedict 99-40 has been increased to 50 tokens. Benedict 99-40’s reputation engram will no longer grant weapons. Warmind Campaign Fixed an issue where some enemies were granting higher-than-intended XP from the mission “Pilgrimage.” Eververse Prismatic Matrix Fixed an issue where players would see a permanent waypoint over Tess when they had a Prismatic Facet in their character inventory. Fixed an issue where the Prismatic Matrix icon did not have an indicator when new items were available. Fixed an issue where the Prismatic Matrix icon was not highlighted when players had a Prismatic Facet in their character inventory. Clans Rewards The Clan XP Milestone now properly grants powerful rewards when it is turned in. A few players would receive a Clan Banner very frequently. This should be fixed, and now players can discard any Clan Banners at the Postmaster. Emotes General Resolved an issue where some players who owned the “Salute” emote were unable to equip it. The “Awaken the Warmind” emote no longer displays after the emote has been interrupted. Flavortext now appears on the emote preview.

Note, the lunafaction boots reload immediately. It's literally ammo dumping. It'll be great(ly depleting all your heavy ammo into calus quick).

I didn't turn in the weekly powerful clan engram because it was bugged and I heard it would be mailed to me once the weekly stuff reset. It apparently disappeared. RIP. Leveling up without raiding is fun and cool.

Leveling up without raiding is fun and cool. [places hand reassuringly on your strong shoulders] This is what happens when you listen to dumb idiots who are wrong. They autodrecrypt and go directly into your characters' inventories. If your inventory was full, it would go to the postmaster. Check all your weapon and armor slots and you'll find a high power new item!

Crucible labs is just a specialty PVP playlist, it's not some special absurd thing. They will probably just flip it on and off when they have "enough" feedback about something to try it out.
