This is the one of the best encounter in D2 i ever seen. Got a lot of JOY in this fight.

So ur complaining because it's a challenge to complete.

My personal opinion here. I thought that strike was great. I enjoy content that isn’t so easy that I can’t breeze through it. I wish even the normal story missions were harder like the days of playing through the original Halo trilogy on legendary. Once again my opinion, but games feel too easy anymore. I grew up in the days of the 80’s arcades when games were hard as to get people to feed the machine quarters. Games these days have lost their challenge. Not blasting your opinion. To each their own. Now get off my lawn!! :P

It certainly wasn’t an easy strike, but I don’t feel it was particularly unfair either. I went into the strike with a random match-made group, none of us using microphones to communicate. While we each died at least a few times (I believe I died perhaps four or five times throughout the strike) with at least two instances in which one of the group had to run around avoiding death until the others were able to respawn, we made it through without a full wipe. Sometimes you just have to play very cautiously and not rush to finish a given encounter at the speed you aim for during a normal strike. (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)

Other than the terrible strike, it’s the easiest exotic quest! I loved the little scavenger hunt in the vents haha I already made a post about my thoughts on this but yeah i I loved it! Everything but the arms dealer strike..

Hmm, you had the least amount of kills on your team, and second most deaths, maybe you just need to step up your ad clear game.

I didn't find it that fun either. more rage, controller throwing than anything. \this should not be advertised at 900 at all, and I think thats were all the issues on this are coning from. Most people that are saying thats its not that had are close to max PL, with izanagis, recluse at least. Any clip under 945 and your going to have a hard time. I'd rather not see any more of this type of boss fight in the future. I;m honestly thankful that warframe has a new mainline update

I 110% agree it is absolutely ridiculous how hard it is and to the people saying "It'S nOt HaRd" sorry I don't dedicate my whole life to d2 and having a seizure every time someone complains about d2.

I agree. This boss fight is the worst thing i've seen in this game. i spent about an hour and a half trying this boss fight with a few differant random matchmaking crews and got close a couple times. within 1 shot once but yet to no avail. Still haven't beaten it. Guess I'll try again tomorrow.

Isn’t this like the 3rd or 4th time the arms dealer strike has been used for an exotic quest? Seems a bit lazy to me lol

It was really fun dying while dunking the solar orb at the boss only to be res'd just to take flame damage AND laser damage, and then get mauled by a dog 2 seconds later. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I know those ransoms hated me.

You can see the disparity among players in the comments for these types of things. This is something that Bungie either doesn’t get, or doesn’t care to address. Was the strike hard? Yes. Should getting an exotic be quick and easy? No. Should it be fun? Yes. People define fun differently. This game has very different kinds of activities and thus essentially encompasses multiple very different genres. This is a prime example of why there should be multiple paths of progression/acquisition for many things. Options that balance challenge and time investment against amount of rewards or how quickly you can acquire something. Want something now? Do the super hard or timed version and it’s yours. Don’t mind waiting a bit? Do an easier version three times, once with each elemental since that rotates weekly, and it’s yours in three weeks. Look at quests like Whisper/Zero Hour. If they had non-timed versions with matchmaking that had rotating elemental singes, the above example could be an alternate version of how to get it. Raids. If there was a non-mechanic heavy version that was like a long strike with multiple bosses or like The Menagerie/Vex Offensive that rewarded only a SINGLE reward per week, I think that would be an appropriate balance against the regular version being much more difficult and players getting like 4 rewards per week. They make the game a chore at times for many players by not acknowledging this disparity and that their game is so vastly different from one activity to the next. So much so that it could be called an inconsistent experience. Whether they want to admit it or not, they have a wide variety of different types of gamers here. Ignoring that will only continue to polarize the community and cause resentment. They only hurt the game by not acknowledging and addressing that fact.

Wow... Suddenly, a lot of attention. I love how so many still love using the "git gud" response. It has nothing to do with that. The strike was tough, not hard, but tough. Honestly, a fair challenge all the way up to the boss encounter. It's literally just the boss encounter I have a huge problem with. The constant running was unnecessary. There were already tons of ads to clear, which kept you on your toes throughout the encounter because of their one-hit melee kill capability, but to add the incoming missiles non-stop was absolutely overkill. That. Just that. If the missile thing hadn't been involved, I would have just found it a tough challenge. Aggravating but fine. Beyond the missiles never stopping, I still have to complain about the total lack of originality. Remember after "Taken King" how new areas would be found and new secrets discovered in old locations? What does D2 have again? Whisper and Zero Hour? This game is just way, way lazier and far more padded-out than D1 was after TK. This was just another example of it. Thank the gods that games like "The Outer Worlds," "DOOM Eternal" and "Cyberpunk 2077" are coming out before too long. Where players can actually go do new things and find secrets and actually build a character their own way instead of only repeating the same three things week after week after week to, maybe, improve their power level. The game is trash. Most of the community is trash. You should all be wanting better of this game and its company but you're complacent with the same thing over and over again that you don't see a way out of this money pit. I want them to be better. To do better. They won't because they won't spend the time and money to actually make a better game. I'm out. I know a lot of people who got out way earlier and never came back even after it went free. D2 will be an occasional thing to play going forward. No more money pit. Bye, Felicia.
