Destiny 2\u2019s radical dungeon changes have made solo runs harder than ever BungieDestiny 2\u2019s primary endgame activities have undergone major balance changes in The Final Shape and they\u2019re not being received well by players, especially in the context of solo Dungeons. Introduced with The Final Shape, Dungeons and Raids now fix Guardians at a -5 Power deficit against enemies. This is in contrast to the previous +20 Power cap. The result is a sizable reduction in damage dealt and increased damage received across both activities. Players had previously registered concern over the adjustments immediately after The Final Shape\u2019s release. Now that many have had a chance to test them firsthand, the consensus isn\u2019t favorable. In a breakdown of their miserable experience attempting to solo Warlord\u2019s Ruin post-update, one Reddit user said: \u201cBefore TFS came out I decided the last thing I would do in Season of the Wish was solo flawless Warlord\u2019s Ruin\u2026Took a couple of tries but wasn\u2019t bad. Now it is horrible. Enemies hit much, much harder.\u201d \u201cThe even more egregious part is the ~30% less damage when doing damage off-surge,\u201d they continued, adding, \u201cThe first boss was already a 3 phase, maybe 2 if conditions were perfect. Now it is a 5 phase.\u201d While these issues affect players attempting to solo a Dungeon most, it\u2019s worth pointing out that the changes are universal, no matter the Fireteam size. \u201cDungeons don\u2019t even feel much better in a Fireteam. My group used to run two or three each week just for fun, but after doing this this week, we decided we were done with that. It\u2019s just not fun anymore,\u201d came one downbeat response. Ghosts of the Deep is widely regarded as offering the toughest solo Dungeon challenge, though judging by further feedback in the same thread, most solo enthusiasts have consciously decided to avoid it at all costs. Questions persist concerning Bungie\u2019s position. The studio did acknowledge the feedback before the launch of Salvation\u2019s Edge but it remains to be seen whether this will translate to changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
