I didn't notice a change at all You used to be able to unpowered melee your way through if you wanted, now that'll actually get you killed if you keep at it. I think Blind Well was tied to patrol zone power level before, and now it feels like a 0 delta, like a regular rear end strike? It feels like the tiniest bit more powerful. So that's my conclusion, going from like 50 power under to even like a strike.

If I were them and had super limited resources I'd just have patrols in Dreaming City have a ton of "the enemy is moving" events and have the mossy Vex dudes show up (they're invading after all), then have them invade Blind Well also. Reuse a Hydra for the sixtieth time and have it show up when the bosses do. Sometimes it's Not Atheon or that hosed up harpy boss type with all the eyes There, it's different now. Neat. Like it's cool it has new loot but freshen it up a little. Just having things seemingly (I guess? I still just punched my way through) do more damage isn't really it. I'd love an excuse to explore Dreaming City more again, and I just turbogrinded it for the last cheevo

Blind well is such a slog. "Remember this poo poo? Do it again! But with bigger bullet sponges that deal more damage!" I've completed two and got 0% progress. Working as intended.

RBA Starblade posted:I don't mind Blind Well but it needs a refresh and lol that you have to do THREE if you join into a Tier 2 in progress. * If you run / sparrow up the hallway too fast it doesn't give the matchmaking time to kick in, which would place them alone in the instance with enough time to use a T2, which everyone else would then be matchmade into. FlapYoJacks posted:The vast majority of people are not attracted to increased difficulty you loving dumb shits! I would have thought this would be the ideal argument for having different difficulties. I mean they do have legendary, but that doesn't launch until a few weeks into the season to give everyone time to hit the level ca- oh wait, the level cap hasn't moved for like 3 seasons now you dumbasses. E: I seem to remember this happening when they were talking about increasing the enemy density and health for fireteams, and it made a bunch of lower level stuff into an annoyance because you would get overwhelmed fast.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I wasn't really paying attention at the time, but when you get told to go there as part of the quest, you get given 2 charges of light, and I think it was a tier 1 & a tier 2. So probably, players who've never done well are just running* to the Blind Well and using the T2 charge they just got. No, we did Tier 3 Heroics too. It's just not really any different. Also lol they didn't playtest Coil at all, none of the hazards work reliably or their preventatives, like pervading darkness and the light wells. It's a one in five chance or so for the well to do something

RBA Starblade posted:Blind Well was supposed to be harder? I didn't notice a change at all The enemies now have that red icon showing they're a higher power level than you are, but they got wiped out so quickly by everyone else in the instance I couldn't really tell the difference. Even with a level disadvantage, players are so much more powerful than they were in the Forsaken era that they really should have increased the spawn rate. I think it was Season of the Chosen's Battlegrounds where everyone started praising the increased difficulty, because it had a much higher enemy density. More things to shoot is a fun sort of difficulty. Individual red bar enemies being able to tank half a magazine of primary ammo isn't. I think Bungie may have learned the entirely wrong lessons from that feedback.

The problem is they gave us such great add clear capabilities between jolt/ignite/volatile/forbearance/sunshot/etc that there's no amount of weak red bars that can be difficult. Imo they need to work on encounter design where you can't sit in the back plinking with wishender but you also don't get instantly shredded because the arena is a cover less bowl with a million Randals

Coil seems very tedious so far If you die once you're hosed too because there's no spawn protection and the broken trap elements still apply when you get back in. Hope you didn't die in the dark! e: Lol I got 55k points in 70 minutes, that wasn't enough for a bronze huh RBA Starblade fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Nov 30, 2023 |

FlapYoJacks posted:The vast majority of people are not attracted to increased difficulty you loving dumb shits! It’s incredible they got streamerbrain so bad that they think this is a selling point when it’s probably the biggest thing making the game feel like poo poo. They couldn’t even leave one easy GM in the rotation, they had to redo the two easiest ones to make them more tedious because they hated people getting a chance to fully build craft without hammering their own genitals. I could honestly forgive everything else about Lightfall if it wasn’t for this.

Lol sometimes if you die to the spikes in Coil it accidentally pops up the method they call to do it, presumably someone left a debug option on

Lol at that description though "This activity is so easy it's kinda boring for me, one of the absolute best destiny players around. If it just kept getting harder, to the point that maybe three people in the world could finish it at all, it would be much better"

haveblue posted:Lol at that description though That's kind of the rub though If it's too easy then it's boring to just go in a shoot everything with no sense of danger or thinking about builds or positions or even aiming But I also get that bullet sponge red bars and other extremes can make it too stressful and tedious to "sit in the back plinking away with a scout" In summary, Destiny 2 is a land of contrasts and finding that balance is hard to please everyone

I dunno, I don't really like the idea of an activity where I could dump 30-50 minutes in and not make progress towards what I was hoping to make progress towards.

I think that's what Riven's Lair or whatever it's call is supposed to be: one run of one section of Coil that's quicker and 'easier' to knock out, but the loot is okay compared to the big risk/reward of trying Coil to get to the big room with 6 chests worth of loot SgtSteel91 fucked around with this message at 04:36 on Nov 30, 2023 |

Coil drops intermediate rewards but it still ain’t great that the vast majority of your runs will end with a fade to black and then orbit

Failson posted:Didn't we sorta do a bunch of Blind Well in the runup to Witch Queen? I honestly can't remember. The thing that really pisses me off is the change to crucible game choices. When I'm tired and don't want to commit to long activities, because I have to check the stove every 15 min or whatever, I could always pop into crucible. Logged in today and it was all dogshit. Just leave vanilla Control up there. If the metrics show no one plays the other game types, the problem isn't that everyone's playing control, it's that the other game types are awful...

Right now this seems to deliver on what i felt we were offered with Deep Dives being some decision making as we go not left node or right node for 10% or 10%. Will see how much actual rotation and changes are possible over next couple of weeks - if it's just the same 4 bosses in a different order, or only one changing each week then uh... Might lower my feelings a bit but from a single run? Greatly enjoyed it.
