Difficulty: Is anyone even playing this game without exploits on harder settings (Nightfall, heroic etc.)?
I’m am serious here.
Is anyone playing the missions, strikes etc. on harder difficulty (Nightfall, lvl 28 Heroic etc.) the way they are “supposedly” designed?
I can’t fathom this. Everything is killing you in basically one hit (or one hit and a gust).
I mean how do you survive 4 Wizards and 3 Knights at the same time in the Summoning Pits while staying inside the room when everything needs just to look at you to kill you?
I don’t think I am a bad player.
If I do strike playlists I’m usually the one without any death while also having the most kills etc.
I’ve been beating nightfall strikes and heroics for weeks… just not “the way they are meant to be played”. (tm Nvidia)
To cut to the chase: I exploit the living crap out of the AI and terrain.

[quote]OP raises a good point, and I think many people may have missed it.
Is it actually possible to run the nightfall/weekly strikes by actually playing the strike the way it was intended it to be played?
Phogoth is a great example, because I don't know if it is actually possible to go into the final chamber with Phogoth on Nightfall, and not die once the high level minions spawn. Can anyone here say they have done it that way? If not, then isn't there something fundamentally wrong with the game's difficulty gradient?[/quote]
Maybe I worded it poorly but its basically this.

5 RepliesTo be honest (my purely subjective oppinion), the fights in Destiny are very bland and uninspired. These 'exploits' are what make them fun and interesting to me because they then become parody rather than the overly self serious things they are 'meant' to be. And when the concept of greater difficulty is boiled down to 'enemies kill you instantly, take negligible damage. Oh and you can't revive because -blam!- you that's why' I call that cheap and lazy. Now if these ET, darkness bastards want to get into a cheap tricks contest with me I say 'come at me bro!' I feel such sweet, sweet satisfaction from having phogoth impotently shoot at the wall whilst I take my sweet time giving him a death by 1000 cuts. And let's be honest, i'll get shards or coins whether I do this 'legit' or not. So I choose that which gives me a chuckle and makes the content feel like fun instead of a chore.
