As a primary solo player that can barely (if at all) get into a raid group does this mean I won’t be able to hit the hard cap? And also is the hard cap actually going to mean something in regards to DPS, health or other stats?

Exotics should be harder to get. There should be strike specific loot in the strike play list. Not just nightfall. There should be armor and weapons and ghost in strike playlist. Y'all should get Sarah Daniels my number. You shouldn't get raid or trials gear from clan engrams if you didn't do the raid or trials. I'm tired of reskins. 6v6 should be crucible all the time. Y'all should give KK my number. I am tired of eververse selling all the dope cosmetic stuff. I want secret exotic or even legendary quests like d1 and saint 14 shotgun. I want specials back in the energy slot. I want a lower time to kill for primaries so specials don't dominate again. Make exotics exotics again. And finally, fill the world with life. Not just enemies standing there to be killed. Like have players do certain steps to trigger events. And make mods better.

Teams of six were fun [b][u]but[/u][/b] i think we should get bigger maps, which are exclusive to 6 v 6 iron banner. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) [spoiler]plz don't verbally assault me for my opinion or I'll onionise you[/spoiler]

Mini changes aren't fixing the public backstab you shanked your fanbase with. You really wrecked way too much of what was good with this underpinnings microtransactions crap and oversimplification garbage. You guys lost trust with the public, which is priceless, and squandered your inheritance for short term gain. It's a long road back, but I don't think this new generation of entitled Bungie staffers have the grit. My 2 cents.

This is what you get when bungie still has no idea what to do.

One step forward, two steps back. You fulfill that destiny every week without fail.

I'm hoping this could be clarified, because it seems to be creating a lot of heartburn. [quote]Our target is that players who participate in all the weekly activities should take several weeks to reach the hard cap. Raids/Trials grant the largest increases, clan engrams provide very small increases, and the other weekly sources fall between those two. [/quote] This seems reasonable, but then there's this: [quote]Players who don't participate in any group weekly activities are unlikely to hit the hard cap before the next release[/quote] Are you talking about just Raid/Trials here, or does "group weekly activities" include NF and heroics? [quote]Once you’ve achieved the soft cap, your progress is going to rely a lot more on your own achievements; clan engrams above the soft cap will grant gear only 0–2 points above your best possible.[/quote] Again, this seems reasonable, but what can you tell us about the rewards from the other activities?

I just have to say that it seems you guys don’t understand anything other then extremes. I’ve been playing since the beginning and I am seriously considering quitting if these changes are implemented. I don’t want to go back to the destiny 1 cap grinding. There really is a middle ground here that can allow people who can’t get into end game activities, or just don’t want to, the ability to level up just the same through all other activities. Give them a path, if you want to make a little bit harder that’s fine just, don’t make it a lot harder.

I really want to experience those Rat King changes for myself cause I was not expecting what I got from that video. Also I definitely think that the power level restructure is a very good move and hopefully it gets more people to become dedicated to the game.

Holy shit that rat king is bad ass guys. Keep em coming!!!!! I’m actually excited to play in may. Hope you have some goodies to keep us hunting.

YES POWER LEVEL MATTERS NOW AND IS WORTH GRINDING! Love the exotic changes as well Ray King looks like a freaking beast

No mention of all the buffs coming to eververse for season 3! Willing to bet she has better gear than you can get in any nightfall.

The power changes feel artificial and unnecessary: 1- you are basically saying to casuals: if you make it to max light by the time next content comes out you are lucky... 2. The problem this creates is again an increase in the gab between ‘intense raiders’ and occasional ones, leading to more elitists posts and restricted raid player pool: - a player who can’t train properly for the raid will be left behind - an intensive raiser will first want to get some completions before helping less exp players, and that may take longer because of the smaller raid pool. 3. The problem is once again not the power leveling, but the use of it: why be max light if being ten below kind of feels the same? 4. If best gear comes from end game activity and those needs high light to be ‘comfy’, while high light is harder to get at... it will also increase problem mentioned in pt2: occasional raiders won’t have a nice experience of the raid. It needs to be hard but not feel hopeless... 5. There’s a reason people keep on asking for random rolls: it increases the interest of end game where drops are guaranteed without artificially increasing the grind and taking the fun out of it: you always get something, and there’s always a chance to get something better. 6. Forgot one: this change impacts Solely PVE gameplay , while pvp where power levels don’t give any advantage is not impacted... Why keep on punishing Pve? Edit: it has been pointed out I may have been to negative regarding when a more casual may hit the soft cap: if the balance is right things might not be as bad as described above, but this is a very slippery and risky balance...

Thanks for ruining exotic grinding. I hate raiding since I always get a headache cause no one knows how to shit the f up and play. Also I dont play trials of the 9 why? The gameplay sucks. Don't take away Exotic grinding or you will lose your player base. Wtf is wrong with you guys? Ypu are forgrtting about solo players who don't join fireteams. I am one. Why? I hate listening to people whine and bitch cause I get a headache from it. So make it so us solo players can grind the way we need to. By grinding for exotics. Thanks. If need be I will go through the trouble of even having my expansion pass refunded to me by sony if I am not happy. Have to offer refunds in Canada. Consumer policy here and part of the law.

Why are so many people saying the hard cap is only attainable through Trials/Raid? [quote]Our target is that players who participate in all the weekly activities should take several weeks to reach the hard cap. Raids/Trials grant the largest increases, clan engrams provide very small increases, and the other weekly sources fall between those two.[/quote] This explicitly states that 'the other' weekly sources will get you there... It'll just take longer, as it should...
