It was late at night. I was a bit tipsy.
Said to myself: ok I'm gonna go in there by myself full tryhard mode, take my time, and beat my clanmate to it by completing it ALONE. Like some used to do with nightfall in D1.
Orbit, loading, go to the strike (super hyped and motivated).
Ok, I'm in. What is that I am seeing? A timer?!
Oh man, I can't really begin to describe how disapointed I was. I shut down the game and went to sleep.
I mean, in the strike description, it doesn't even mention that it's gonna be on timer and that it's gonna be timewarp: anomalies. What a cheap surprise...
So yesterday, we returned in there with two clanmates. We were doing good UNTIL we capped out on the maximum of time we can get back from anomalies. Wait, WHAT THE -blam!-?!
What is this madness? There is actually somebody somewhere that:
1st: thought it would be amazing to add a layer of artificial difficulty by having a goddamn timer in nightfall/strikes.
2nd: thought it would be a great idea that your only method to get more time back would eventually be capped because... NO REASONS.
You're on a timer, but can only grab so much time before you can't anymore, EVEN THOUGH the anomalies are still showing and you can still shoot them. That's the kind of bullshit I havn't seen since those super cheap games back in the NES era.
This is... horrible.
Is this gonna be Bungie's answer to everything that supposed to be a challenge from now on? Put a frigging timer on it?
I feel like somebody is trying really hard to suck the fun outta me.
Edit: Just to clarify some things... I'm not complaining it's too hard. I'm just saying that I (like a lot of people) HATE that mechanic. And that I really just wanted to go in there alone, as a challenge, to clear it by myself and that it is impossible with this design. I can live with this design in a Nightfall, but pushing it to a strike that has no mention whatsoever it's gonna be a Prestige Nightfall... well I think Bungie's pushing it a bit.
Also, if you're gonna call me a casual, you can just stop bothering and close this tab. It's all gonna save us a lot of time.
Thanx and y'all have a good day!

Even if it was nightfall difficulty, I would be triggered, because it is damn easy. It was a challenge and i liked it. Now i am waiting for the seal Part to be fixed 🤷🏻♂️
