Why do bosses have so much hp when damage on weapon is more or less normalized from L1 onward? Drawn out fights that take long only because bosses have 5mill+ hp and youre hitting from 60-1k depending on weapon and hit location.

It seems like its the same since everything is scaled. If you are 24 doing a 24 strike then its the same is if you are 20 doing a 20 strike. Same thing for 28.
If you are below the strike level is when you do low damage, and it feels like the bosses take no damage.

I see no difference in the 24 strikes with a 24 and over group, and a level 18 strike with a level 18 and over group

it was long then but its worse now mainly because you realize you will be doing the same thing 20x a day to grind rep or for gear. Its going to get old so quickly with so few strikes in the playlist.

Dunno, but I am the perfect target audience for this game since this game keeps it simple and takes me back to glorious DooM days: running around, shooting every freaky space demon alien that moves. I only wish that PS4 would let me play custom MP3s while in game and i'll play this shit for years.

Can someone explain to me why that bungie grimoire app website thingy can't be accessed in game? It's fantastic, yet I simply cba to look up all that stuff on the tablet or pc while i game or after. What a waste, quite baffling really.

Oh if you go to Earth and hunt down those level ?? we saw in beta, turns out to be level 20 mobs. They have an entire small area down there with an Ogre, two Wizards, and some trash. Opens up a cliff side that connects to Fallen Shore. Didn't find anything around there (chests nor dead ghosts) but it was fun exploring around a weird little level 20 minizone on a level 1-8 Planet.
That's cool, but so much missed potential. Why not add a rare named guy down in that level 20 area that can drop unique stuff. Give us a REASON to explore and revisit old planets/content.

This. So many little things they could have done to make this a great game. I would love to see a dev respond to some of the criticism out there, including criticism about the story. I'm at a loss as to how Bungie thought this writing/acting was on par with the kind of game they've been advertising.

Agreed Dizzam. A large portion of the stuff that we've requested are pretty small changes/additions. I have hope that Bungie will patch them in. Just seems like they had no foresight to some of the things we all are saying, "duh, why isn't this in the game from day one?" I just HOPE that Bungie didn't withhold these things on purpose to add them in as part of the expansion packs to 'force' people to spend more money.

It's the little things that bug me the most about the game:

1+1 exotic limit is terrible design in a loot-based game.

Story missions give no item rewards at all once you're level 20.

Engrams decode into shit that's lower tier than the engram itself. I'm still wearing a L14 chest with no Light on it because every single blue engram I've decoded has given me a green chest.

Factions are all PVP-related, PVE only gets Vanguard. Vanguard legendary Titan gauntlets has bonuses for scout/sniper and AR/shotgun only. Like pulse and fusion rifles (what I use)? Sorry, you're fucked. As a double "fuck you" the boots have hand cannon and pulse rifle bonuses instead of allowing you to get a full suit that buffs your weapon of choice. Also, you get the stats they give you and that's it. With factions, you're able to choose the two stats you want by picking the correct faction. Granted, it's still not perfect because you may not find the gun mods you want on the armor that has the stats you want.

Exotic weapon bounties require both PVE and PVP to complete.

I've explored most/all of the ?? areas I came across while leveling and at most they have a dead ghost in them. Is there even a reward for collecting all the dead ghosts on a planet?

The level scaling gets really obnoxious after a while. Killing enemies in a patrol is no easier/faster than killing them in a hard mission. They just do less damage to you. At least they also drop level-scaled loot, but still... there should have been L20 patrols with greater mission rewards.

No idea wtf is up with events. Every time I come across one on my Titan I end up having to try to solo it because nobody else shows up. Doesn't matter if it's prime time, Saturday afternoon, etc. I've had better success with my Warlock while duoing with a friend, but even then events seem absurdly rare. If we see three in a night it's a goddamn miracle.

Why they don't have an emote system like Dark Souls is beyond me, have 4 mapped emotes and many to choose from. Or put emotes as quest rewards like everything else in the game.

Hey column, let your friend know I'll be on late tonight. I got called in to work.

Also, you all should start posting in the gamertags thread when you're looking for a group. I'verandomly joined some fireteams just from looking at people in my friends list, but it kind of feels like walking into someones house without knocking. I had a blast grouping with a_skeleton_03 and heckler the other night.

So I hit twenty haven't finished story yet because every fucking mission is a protect mission with waves of enemies which to me just gets boring. What the fuck am I supposed to do now to gear up for post lvl 20?

Suck it up and finish the story, especially if you need a good primary weapon, then do strikes. Ideally via the random playlist, even more ideally with a premade group.

This game is cool & I'm enjoying it but I am resonating with pretty much every pro and con being stated here.

To be honest though, I guess I expected more of a world. It feels like a huge hollow, yet astoundingly beautiful, shell.
