Uhm... (Destiny)

...so at 240, you can literally take 20-30 minutes, solo a handful of lost sectors and be 245. Minimum barrier to entry of the nightfall shouldn't be the baseline you are judging this against. I'm sorry, but as much as I wanted to try and understand your perspective (because I don't fully understand why you'd hate it this much), it just sounds like you're saying "I used to have fun but now I don't and I don't like it".

You are literally complaining that in the 3rd week after release the end-game content, that is supposed to be a challenge, is too hard.

Take a breath and a step back. And if you're really at 240, go do some other things and come back to the nightfall after a few more hours of regular gameplay. It's going to be okay. :D

But reaching the minimum requirements by no means makes it even remotely less challenging. I was 268 the first time I attempted Nightfall, and I got absolutely shredded.

I was 20+ light levels above the minimum and it felt like I was 70 below. Prism was on and they were talking about how kinetic damage is unaffected—Kinetic damage does NOTHING. They might as well have been in permanent Armor Lock. It's not fun to have hoops you have to jump through--only positioned in the heaviest of enemy encampments, either. If you run ahead and try to put more seconds on the clock, you get eviscerated--BAM, 30 second respawn. If you try to kill a majority of the enemies first, all the hoops disappear and you're left with nothing. The timer should be a push for more rewards, not just make you haul ass and get yourself killed.

You do know that the hoops don't activate their timer until you jump through them, right? You can clear a mojirty of the room while strategizing how you'll position yourselves, then activate the hoops and jump through while you mop up the stragglers. No need to rush in face first...

You have to play smart now. If you fail the Nightfall (and you might), you pick up on where you went wrong, and you do better. Light level and/or Prism has nothing to do with it.

We tried the 300LL strike tonight (none of us being 300), and we failed it the first time. The second time, we were a third of the way through the final boss fight before we ran out of time. We knew where we went wrong, and we plan to knock it out before we raid again.

It's all about teamwork and strategy now, and you act like that's a bad thing.
