Vespers Host Contest was 1985 power level and the New Dungeon Contest power level is 1995. This means a 10 power level increase
Please tell me I'm wrong.
Numbers are low. This exacerbates the issue.
Please advise

Raising the power level cap is useless if we can't over level it, or at least get on par. We are always capped at least -5 in every activity. Why can’t we go back to the Witch Queen difficulty balance while keeping Banes and modifiers? So at least endgame activity will actually reflect time spent for rewards?

“Content”
-
Makes me wanna play less and less
-
Don't get all the people in here acting like they like the grind. Is it easy? Sure. But the question we should actually ask is. Is it fun? Does it add anything meaningful to your experience? No, it doesn't. It's an extra chore and completely unmeaningful in every way. People celebrated when it was removed for a reason. The same one that made them boo when it came back this season. Remove the seasonal power level grind it's lame.

Edited by Toots238857: 1/18/2025 8:47:25 PMBecause they have NOTHING else to offer to keep us engaged. But to sit and have us grind needlessly (as if it's our first time), again. This is "content" for them. We're the test subjects who keep proving them right by playing. Instead of changing things like duplicate items in Eververse, older exotics that can be reworked, better player engagement...etc. This is what they came up with. Again. It's the New Players they count on now. The ones who haven't experienced this BS. Which is why prices remain so high as well with this game. New players. The new victims.

You're rank 11. Why are you crying. You are supposed to be the best of the best of the best.
-
I honestly don't see why there is a reason to increase it in the first place if it's just going to knock our power lvl back down
-
You’re wrong we were at 2000 max power level then now we are at 2010
-
You don't have high enough clearance for that information.
-
Are you upset at a passive grind? Play the game, and you will reach that cap. Almost every activity gives pinnacle loot now.
-
how many weeks until this is over. noway in h e double L after this shite show will this game make it. anything bungie makes is a over priced bag of nerfs and cheesy mechanics that bore good players to leave and never look back. bungie just never got it. but they will.
-
Brother it’s so easy to hit the power cap you do it by accident. Also, I think everyone keeps forgetting fireteam power is in the game.
-
Because Bungie won't make the game engaging, the weapons rewarding, or the story worth experiencing. Instead, they've decided the best way to force "engagement" out of the playerbase is to create arbitrary barriers to return to the content you were already doing the week previous. In short, Bungie doesn't know how to make a game fun; they only know how to make a game take as much time as possible.
-
Honestly just play and you’ll level regardless. I leveled all 3 of my characters without much effort. Except for the last drop to max. That took a few weeks to drop but whatevs. It made zero difference between 2009 and 2010. Besides the artifact will level you too.
-
That's what Bungie does. Constantly moving the goal pole while we stay in one spot on a hamster wheel. They have been doing this for years, it should not come as a surprise.

Edited by coda-jj: 1/18/2025 8:25:28 PMChill with the power level grinding crying. What’s it matter? It’s the only reason my friends played and now none don’t because of it. If you don’t care about grinding then leave your crap at 2007 and let your season pass increase your power where it needs to be. It makes no sense why people care if they don’t want to do it. The artifact will eventually put you where you need to be so stop crying. My goodness, it’s not that complicated

[quote]Vespers Host Contest was 1985 power level and the New Dungeon Contest power level is 1995. This means a 10 power level increase Please tell me I'm wrong. Numbers are low. This exacerbates the issue. Please advise[/quote] Because they want their lil precious raid ra- i mean dungeon race, that's why. They did the same thing with Vesper, right after telling us in TFS that they would NOT increase the power level ever after that point forward. Why are you suprised they lied and are doing it again ? They did this for the top 1%, streamers, youtubers etc... Not for us or the average player that even has less time to play.
-
Did you forget we went up 10 or did purposely ignore that to get likes from the anti fans? What a fool.
-
It’s 10 levels that you should already have if you play the game
-
There's no issue. You'll be at 2010 if you actually played the game, quit complaining.
-
It doesn't matter because no matter how high your light level gets it still feels like you are capped even resistance mods doesn't feel like they are working as they should
-
I mean, I sort of understand. But I don't even play end-game content, and I'm at 2025 with all of my highest gear on. It really didn't take much to get there. I've been there for a while now, and I just play PvP all the time. Am I missing something here?
-
🤣🤣🤣 sux to be you all
-
Agreed. It is a terrible idea. I think they want to continue pushing people away so they can do as little as possible on d2.
-
I swear to God, [b]IF[/b] the gear cap jumps to 2020 I'm uninstalling. . That was the [b]ONE[/b] thing they got right in [i]Lightfall[/i]. No more Light grind. . As someone who [b]JUST[/b] wants to queue [i]Endgame[/i], I cannot [b]STAND[/b] being forced to slog through Light to queue the only activities I care about.

Increasing power by 10 isn't a reason to whiny and quit the game over. It's an extremely minor thing and is 100% optional. If people are quitting over such a small thing, then they are clearly looking for the smallest thing to quit over when no one is forcing them to even play the game.
