I have seen this chart posted 100 times the past month and it makes zero fucking sense to me
My last 3 prime engrams were the legend that is Edge Transit. Wasn't even mad as games should make us laugh and be hysterical.
What makes zero sense out of "Harder Content = Larger Results"
Just play the game
Just buy 2 a day from Spider. It's 30 shards. They add up fast over a few weeks
TLW better not involve competitive, I was in there this weekend getting harrassed by some girl that told me "you suck never play competitive again" and just kept shitting on me in messages for about an hour. Competitive game modes in any games tend to have some of the shittiest people.
Not my fat Bungie places step quests in there.

I have been playing the game...hours upon hours upon hours and I'm at 525. Do people at almost 600 play 24/7 and not have jobs and responsibilities?
Yeah not sure what's so confusing that chart is actually pretty great. Even explains what the soft caps are in relation to every soft cap. I wish I had that when I was grinding.
It's fun leveling up the second char that got left behind. Took 2 hours to get gear from low 520s to now low 550s because of weapons from another character.
Going to be fun when I get 2 chars to 600 and work on my useless titan at some point down the road.

I've been playing pretty regularly since forsaken launched haven't touched the raid yet bar grabbing the lower light level chests and I'm at 570 on two characters ... Petra's weekly and ascendent challenge are huge LL gains
Yes, we all live off the fat of the land grinding to avenge Cayde. That's the secret, sorry
I tell everyone who keeps saying this, you're doing something wrong if you've played this much and are stuck at 525. I had a clan mate yesterday at 523 get up to 538 in one day just by knocking out all of their powerful engrams. The map even tells you what you have left to do for the week.
It's really simple.
Find the section with the header that's relevant to your PL.
Do the activities listed in that section to gain gear that ups your PL the most.
Each number represents a soft cap that means you will only get +1 to your overall average of light if you do it under said soft cap.
If you are 552 and do a nightfall you only get +1 to your average light level. That doesn't mean you will always get a boost if you fail to get the lowest piece of gear you need.
It's really not hard to understand. And honestly it's easier than it was last season, when the best way was to run raids a bunch of times. This way you can get to 580ish without ever touching raids. Even then you don't really have to with prime engrams.

I have been getting the powerful engrams. I think 529 is my highest. Everything from last week was cleared. Maybe with the reset today I'll have better luck.
not really. i'm on hiatus now, but i never unlocked dreaming city or had touched the raid. i was still gaining about ten power level per week (stopped at 545)
so i guess you would eventually hit 600, before the next expansion, with no raid. just soft capped and the occasional non soft capped activity, and mainly prime engrams to give you those spikes. Provided you put in at least oh, 10+ hours per week. That's before they added new powerful drops to future Iron Banners.
my impression was the system is pretty inexorable now, you cant really screw it up. i thought it would be very difficult to level with mostly +1 engrams, but somehow it isn't. I am pretty sure there's a smart loot system going on too. If your cloak lags by like 8, your next +1 will tend to be a cloak, so +9 in that slot. In this way the game ensures even +1 loot move you forward. Of course it is very possible to get gear the same as the slot (lots of people whine about it in these threads), but it doesn't feel 100% rng to me.
it is more time consuming and slow than past systems. i love it. if destiny is about the grind the ultimate goal is your characters power level, so it shouldn't be something you can just blow through.
anyways a lot of people hit 600 fast, so if you did dreaming city and raid the level is still pretty darn fast.
Are you doing your DC powerful engrams because those alone should be making you jump 10-13 levels with each piece of gear.
That was the last one I did last night. It dropped as 526. I was bummed. I want to hit 540 so I can get my second seed of light and not get destroyed in the blinding well
They will make it easier to level up in few weeks. They always do. After most if the hardcore have hit level cap they drop the other shoe.
It jist resets everything.
Checkpoints and rewards
Shouldnt affect you at all regardless since they implemented the wish wall. Just go back to where you left off by using the wall
It's a fresh start come reset. New raid, new checkpoints, new rewards. It's like your last raid never happened. Groundhog Day.
With your experience from your last raid, you should have a cleaner run this time to the final boss again.
The one constant seems to be Bungie revamps the levelling system. Pretty much every expansion IIRC. I cant even keep track of how many different systems we've had by now.
So who knows what it will be but it's nearly a certainly it will be different, for say, Black Armory. Or at least this will be the new base for a while, and they'll tweak it.
I have some questions regarding the 3rd encounter of the raid (I'll be vague to avoid any sensitive spoiler types), concerning the Eye holders that spawn in...should you kill them immediately which will start the Eye timer countdown? When the Eye holders are killed should you pick up the Eye immediately and use it on adds even if no one on your side is "trapped"? The problem I was running into with this group/session was that after killing Eye holders, just watching the Eye's extinguish themselves or picking one up early and needing to extinguish it myself so it wouldn't kill me thus causing me to be locked out from picking another one up for seemingly like 2 minutes. Obviously I could definitely be missing something major with these mechanics as the entire group wasn't all that familiar with the encounter or maybe it was just bad luck/RNG(?) in no one getting trapped most of the runs on my side even though they were both x2.
Prime Engrams always drop like +5 above your max light. Powerful Engrams do not
Even if you did all your weeklies and dailies and all that jazz, there will always be a Prime Engram for you to get daily.
hope the missions this week are good and really push some story forward. I know they said they are starting a long long story soon, so I hope its like....now lol
What is the not all powerful engrams are created the same? Which ones should i do then? Weekly?
Aztecrossing has done a review for every exotic in the game so far. Check him out. Each video is short and straight to the point.
Look at the chart. Find your PL. Do the activities listed in that section to gain powerful engrams that will give the most boost.
Also do ALL the weekly stuff to get gear that will raise your PL by +1 at least, even if it's just your lowest piece. Every little helps.
The chart just shows where to get the most bang for you buck.
Speaking of avenging Cayde given we have done that (if it was you or Petra that actually did the deed is another matter) whats next for the Vangaurd because as Ikora says the Hunters have no leader and Zavala has retreated in a shell. I wonder if they get another hunter or does Cayde come back in some way?
if the latter happens i will go with
a time displaced early Cayde since he loves to fuck with tech he doesn't understand.
Maybe I'm not explaining my complaint properly-I want them to do away with the Soft Cap. Make all of the activities on that chart give you a "Powerful Engram".
That "Powerful Engram"-no matter where it came from-give you an item that is above your current light level.
Have it so that the activities guarantee a Powerful Engram-but Prime Engrams can also randomly drop anywhere-but they both give you an item above your current light level.
What's the downside in this??

Everything that gives you a Powerful Reward DOES drop above your current overall PL. However, it may not drop higher than whatever you currently have in that particular armor/weapon slot. Your PL is an average of your 3 Weapon Slots and 5 Armor/Class Item Slots combined.
IMO there's no downside, but for the super hardcore it means they end up at cap way too fast and start complaining that stuff is too easy.
Bungie overcorrected a bit too much this time. I agree, a powerful engram should drop an upgrade in slot. You should never open a powerful engram and get an item that's LOWER than your highest power item in that slot.
Yeah I'm getting Powerful Engrams to drop at equal or below the light level for those slots. It's a total waste of time.
You know how many hours of futile grinding that would spare you? Don't be so reasonable.
Ultimately, this is what the fan base wants. The game that launched did a lot to even the playing field so that getting most of the items and hitting the level cap was not that difficult. It also minimized the RNG involved in what you did get. This didn't last because people want to toil away for unknown hours trying to get "god rolls" of weapons they can then show off and use against others. They want it to be difficult to hit the final level cap so they can feel good about getting there.
If you can't give the players a carrot on a stick to chase endlessly, they'll just get bored and stop playing.
