Almost got one last night! (Destiny)

At a macro level, Destiny is designed specifically to force you to play in the manner prescribed by Bungie, not in the manner you actually want to play it. That is its crucial failing. It cannot be "fixed". It cannot be patched out or obfuscated by special "events" like Queen's Wrath or Iron Banner. It is intrinsic to the game's design philosophy.

Therefore, I can only conclude that the game is broken beyond repair.

Indeed. Yesterday, I spent half an hour trying to get my target-acquiring rocket launcher to miss and do a massive loop-the-loop through the sky to come back around and hit my target. I could not get it to happen once. I did not have any fun and feel robbed of my time.

Went all the way around through the sky like a point tracing the spinning circumference of a merry-go-round. Hit the ground 20 feet from my original target. Perhaps I'll get one yet, and my time won't be wasted after all!
