Power Band Constructive Criticism

I’m going to preface this by saying I think bringing this back is not the way. I’m going to provide reasoning as to why, as well as, ideas if it does stay. 1) Power is basically useless as most activities are power capped anyway. This is only good at the start of a DLC when we need 100 levels to reach pinnacle. 10 levels is essentially useless the way the game is currently constructed. 2) It comes off as “forced participation” even though we as players have a choice to do or not do content. I understand it’s an attempt to keep players engaged longer but it’s the same old pinnacle activities we’ve been grinding for what seems like forever. Now let’s move on to the suggestions: 1) Make all pinnacles +2. I never understood the reasoning behind some being +1. 2) This is a bit of a multiple choice. Either A: Make all drops pinnacles from rotator dungeons and raids instead of just the final bosses (first runs only obviously) or B: Introduce drop protection so that your lowest gear has the highest drop chance (by a decent margin) so players aren’t sitting around for 3 weeks looking for helms or class items. Doing both would be a bit overkill IMO. Honestly, I feel the best path is to not do it at all but that’s just my opinion. We’ve already spent 10 years (some of us) grinding strikes, dungeons, raids, bounties and side quests until we are blue in the face. Asking us to do more of the same is underwhelming. Either way, just my thoughts and I don’t expect everyone to agree. Cheers!

    The first logical post addressing the topic with actual feedback. I don’t particularly enjoy leveling gear but there are players that enjoy it and asked for it to be brought back. I’ll stomach doing one character and using the pass to bump my other two up if it makes a group that wanted it happy.

  • You've offered solutions and recommendations, and that of itself is deserving of a read. Much more constructive than, "I hate this, do something!!!!!"

      Yeah if they insist on bringing this back, I also have a few suggestions: -Highlight pinnacles/higher level drops somehow so we don't accidentally dismantle them among the 300 million crap drops we constantly dismantle -Make pinnacles drop in more activities, or ANY activity after a certain time of participation or something. (If you want to play quickplay 100% of your time, you should be able to do that and level up at a reasonable rate for example) -Give power levels some meaning. Right now it seems completely pointless and just a number to go up to feel as you did before the cap raise. But I agree that the best alternative is to scrap the whole thing. It's just annoying.
