The Strike playlist, also known as Vanguard Ops, consists of three-player PvE experiences that always end in boss fights. As has been the case for years, players who join the playlist get dropped into random Strike or Battleground activities. But many Destiny faithful have grown exhausted with this formula over time, specifically calling out the content\u2019s repetition. While there\u2019s nothing to suggest change is on the horizon, players have shared how they\u2019d like to see Bungie improve the Strike playlist. Destiny 2 players slam the Strike playlist as \u201cawful\u201d \u201cThe Strike playlist feels awful,\u201d reads the title of a Reddit post that\u2019s gaining plenty of traction. A Redditor named thunderkitow authored the post, noting their exhaustion with each season housing the \u201csame pool of strikes.\u201d The player noted that their favorite Strike \u2013 Warden of Nothing \u2013 seldom appears in the normal playlist. Worst still, the user said they often launch a playlist, then repeatedly relaunch it because they usually end up in a Strike\/Battleground they despise. \u201cI used to love running strikes when I was bored, but the quality of this playlist has dropped so much that I just don\u2019t want to play them anymore,\u201d they finished. Responses to the post indicate the Destiny 2 community agrees with this sentiment. One user in the thread labeled Destiny 2\u2019s Strike playlist an \u201cunrewarding\u201d slog that barely rewards \u201cengrams to focus.\u201d Meanwhile, others critiqued the playlist\u2019s repetition. \u201cI don\u2019t mind battlegrounds or any particular strike, but I get very tired of repeating the same strike multiple times within a play session,\u201d reads one such reply. And some fans believe the addition of Battlegrounds severely harmed the playlist\u2019s momentum. \u201cI\u2019d rather they bring back sunsetted strikes, we lost a lot of them after all,\u201d said another player when sharing their Battlegrounds-related frustrations. To fix issues of redundancy, one user proposed a tracking system that ensures players don\u2019t constantly repeat the same Strikes. Someone else noted that Bungie tried this years ago but shelved the features because of a bug. A different Redditor said a voting system for Strike options could do the trick. One reply to this idea joked that such a feature would likely arrive in the next 10 years or so. For now, though, unless developers usher in major fixes, Destiny 2 players will have to manage with the Strike playlist as it currently stands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Destiny 2 players call for changes to \u201cunrewarding\u201d Strike playlist BungieDestiny 2 players think the Strike playlist feels \u201cunrewarding\u201d and want Bungie to implement a series of changes.
