The season of arc is here once again!

As has become the tradition for these videos, here's a place I can put my thoughts on the current state of GMs and difficulty in the game. That being said, my thoughts from last season haven't really changed too much this season:    • Solo Gilded Conqueror (Season 20)  A...  

If anything, this season has further reinforced the idea that I don't know what place in the game GMs are meant to occupy. If they're intended to remain at their current difficulty, that's fine (as I've also explained in detail before). But there's no noticeable difference between master and grandmaster, so it makes them feel quite redundant as a result. More often than not, master nightfalls can be more challenging due to the modifiers, and the 5 power level difference changes almost nothing.

There's also been no innovation to grandmasters since their release 11 seasons ago, and repeating what are mostly the same set of nightfalls each season doesn't feel great. While I'd also like to commend the additions of battlegrounds and revamps of old strikes, I don't think battlegrounds fit very well as nightfalls at all. The revamps have potential, although the Lake of Shadows one was done extremely poorly. The Arms Dealer was actually enjoyable thinking back on it, outside of the tedious threshers.

I feel like going forward, one of two things need to happen so that GMs have their own unique place. Either innovation, through new ideas or increased difficulty. Or the other option, that legend and master difficulties are changed, ideally with their forced handicaps being removed entirely. Their efforts to "bring challenge back to Destiny" in theory I agreed with, but as I already said before; when increasing the lower difficulty levels and leaving the highest difficulties alone, nobody wins. It only frustrates the more casual player, while doing nothing to appease the more hardcore player. So I feel like something has to give.

All of that being said, outside of the nightfall landscape, I do feel like Deep Dives were an excellent addition to the game. If their rewards were matching for the effort involved, I feel like they're a great start for how content and escalating challenge could be. A little more fleshed out, and even higher tiers of rewards and difficulty (that are actually rewarding and worth the effort), they'd be brilliant. Maybe outside of the awkward difficulty in random groups and activating Pressure Trials.

The exotic mission I personally felt was great from a challenge perspective to solo, while also being manageable for groups (especially now that strategies are evolving). I think if not for Deep Dives and the exotic mission, I'd be left feeling quite apathetic towards the game and difficulty as a whole. But it was a nice surprise, and leaves me a little more hopeful going forward.

Lastly, the GM selector node should not be on a knockout system. I understand they did it so people would stop farming their favourite GM when the week aligned, but it would be nice to be able to do any GM you want, at any time.
