Next Destiny Update Makes Toughest Strike Easier

"The Cerberus Vae III Strike is arguably the longest and hardest Strike in the game. It has one the lowest completion rates of any of the Strikes," he said. "Even when players complete it successfully, it takes longer than almost any other Strike activity at 27 minutes on Normal difficulty. When it's appeared as the Nightfall, it's actually had the lowest completion rate of any Strike activity in the game. The Dust Palace Strike isn't quite as hard, but it still takes longer to complete successfully than the average Strike at 23 minutes on Normal difficulty."

As a result of this feedback, Destiny production engineer Brenton Woodrow explained that the Cerberus Vae III Strike will become easier once the new patch is applied. This will be done by reducing strength and health for major enemies, among other things.

"Our goal was to ease the difficulty for the least-completed Strikes. In order to do this, we focused on the final boss encounters, which were fairly lengthy on higher tiers," Woodrow said. "We addressed this by reducing the strength for several of the major combatants. We also felt that the bosses themselves could use some tweaking. We reduced Valus Ta'Aurc's health by a third and reduced the Psion Flayers' shields by about 15 percent. We locked these changes after several playtests with the designers and feel that they bring these encounters in line with the rest of the Strikes."

Bungie has not announced a release date for Destiny's 1.1.2 patch.
