If someone is telling people to save up engrams, they're just telling people to waste their time. While the item in an engram is determined when it's opened, the power level is determined as soon as the engram drops, specifically to prevent engram hoarding. If anything, the exotic engrams [i]might[/i] be able to drop new exotics if opened after Shadowkeep starts, but none of the engrams are going to be helping people increase their power.

Right so this engram hoarding won't impact the progression?

Correct. The highest level an engram can drop at currently is 750. On Tuesday, every piece of gear people have will be boosted to 750, so those engrams will provide zero power level benefit.

Well, seems like they are indeed wasting their time. Thanks for the clarification man

They can drop with armour 2.0 is the only advantage.
