Leveling Was NOT Improved Today (Update 9.1.5.1)
Players now get more rewards, which means fewer activities will be needed to level up. BUT, due to the forced -30 power delta, every activity will take longer to complete. Fewer activities, but MORE TIME. This is a net loss for players.
When the folks at Bungie get together to discuss potential changes, they are not thinking about how to make leveling easier/faster. They’re just trying to find ways to make it appear they are improving things, while keeping the grind hours (& player count) as high as possible.
They can’t give without taking. It’s always a trade-off.
EDIT: Based on the split responses, it’s clear the delta changes can be seen as better or worse depending on one’s preferred settings and play style. This post was not about difficulty, -30 and -50 aren’t difficult. It’s about the fact that Bungie could have sped up the grind a long time ago and done so without fixed power deltas.

20 AntwortenLeveling was made pointless. Why be 550? Your power is capped at 470.

I disagree... I'm 550 now, and have gone up 30 points since reset. Chase the bonus engrams, do things with more rewards and aim for A. You 'might' find things take twice as long, but if you run the right things you can get 3 more rewards for that run. If you get A, all rewards will be +2 (at Diamond, possibly more below). Run a reclaim with 3 drops, a focus and 3 bonus drops at A... you could get 7 +2's in 20 minutes!! Compare that to previous... it's so much quicker!

Bearbeitet von Alleviate_Fate: 10/16/2025 9:19:59 PMHow is it not faster with really really bad blueberries reclaim which usually has 3 bonus drops all atleast +1 takes 7 to 10 minutes. Before the -50 debacle it took 6 mins in a very efficient group, I dont see how 4 +1 or +2 drops vs maybe 1 +1 isn't more effective for the extra minute or two. Complaining just to complain at its finest.
-
I m sorry but the game is NOT harder. A -30 delta now feels easier than old gms, probably closer to old master nightfall.
-
Pretty much all my levelling was done in PvP. Still having fun😁 It has been a grind tho. Not gonna lie but once you hit 450 the game opens up with good drops 👌🏻

4 Antworten-30 power delta is a walk in the park, the -50 was no big deal to be fair. This update will help tons of players, it's easier and the drops have improved leveling.

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von Obelix: 10/15/2025 2:08:14 PMFor me it’s really down to the modifiers, I don’t know if it’s this week or a permanent features but they are extremely annoying. I’d take a -30/-40 without these modifiers over the current state. There are screebs every where, in every FT activities. Combine that and freezing touch and any close combat build with swords or melee is useless. And again these aren’t modifiers you can build into, an enemy dies, screeb spawn, you’re dead. An enemy touches you, you can’t go away or use abilities, you’re dead…

Bearbeitet von Random Gamer 1337: 10/15/2025 3:58:28 PMI hate having to play under Power deltas and I wish Bungie hadn't reworked the Portal that way, but thanks to bonus drops now being as valuable as completion rewards, I've accrued 20 Power in one sitting when previously I'd been aiming for 5 Power.
-
Did anyone read the notes form the past few weeks and actually think it was going to get better? The trade off for the 300 LL box is certainly NOT worth the crappy gear I got!

Jet Set WillyIt’s all going concording to plan 😂🤣 - alt
Bungie = Monkey’s paw. There’s always a catch. -
Can confirm, I've levelled to 550 before I know that it used to take me 3 hours to go up by, I remember bcoz I got in exercise etc around it - so id start playing around 7-715 & be done by 1015-1030, id come back around 1pm & by 4pm I got another 10 levels. Since the changes, even inc the higher drops & some bonus drops it takes me maybe 15-30 mins LONGER to get the +10, & I'm only 340 so I'm around 75 hours away from 500 & I assume it'll get slower as I near 500. Smoke & mirrors as always, deplorable. Oh btw 90% of the bonus engrams are in non matchmade content & lfg is dead so effectively useless - the only lfg posts are high GM or ultimate people wanting experts or carrying, which I could but won't get the chance on this new account. Everything feels tedious & dull.

9 AntwortenThank you for pointing out the glaring obvious issue. The bdfs in here would have you believe that it's better. It's clearly not. This is just a reverting back to where we were pre EoF. Ya know, when everyone was shouting to take away the deltas and what not. Rewards or not, this is just another in the long line of backpedals that Bungie is doing yet again. Don't let the bdfs glaze this as something good.

with the catchup to 300, everyone is basically starting when it sucks now the casual difficulties don't even exist anymore, you can't level up doing regular stuff this grind is designed to chase away players and drive the die-hards to complete burnout the new destiny is 'do hard/tedious stuff or quit playing our game' which is in complete opposition to the game design for the last 10 years vast majority of players ignored hard modes in the first 10 years, and now we've seen them all quit cuz of this new system design
-
15 AntwortenThey don’t think about the casual player enough…. I see most of the replies to this are forgetting that most people can’t play Destiny like a job….

Well said 🍻🫡

1 AntwortenI agree, it's actually WOSE than before Tuesdays reset. I don't get it, I was at 500 power Tuesday and I get one hit now and it's over. I can do 400 power events and get 499 gear ... REALLY?
-
1 AntwortenRan solo ops the conflux 2xs at A+ ultimate. Received 2x 1 level drops and 2x 3 level drops. My character is at 475 power. Bungee: we’ve heard you and are taking steps to reduce the shooter looter even more. Please play marathon so Sony doesn’t fire us. We gave you more unstable cores AND took away any reason to grind. Play it your way.
-
Not sure about the 'keepin playercount' part.😅. But you're right about everything else.
-
Yes, I am leveling up faster, but each activity is taking longer, the enemies seem to be hitting a lot harder even though the GM delta has gone down by 5, and my scores are lower getting C+ and B whereas before reset I was always getting B+ minimum, I am guessing this is because the timer has gone on matchmade so that bonus has now gone. 🤷

Bearbeitet von nonchalantone: 10/16/2025 12:21:47 PMI complain a LOT about the state of the game. But they definitely changed something with levels being better. I was 476, now I'm at 499 literally after about 2-3 hours of playing. With load times being slow sometimes, and fireteams setting up...that's a pretty good timeframe to level up that fast. Now if they need Warlocks, I'm rebelling! Lol
-
I found the opposite to be true. I’m closing in on 500, (480ish) and walked through all of the fireteam ops I ran yesterday. Got multiple rewards at +2 or better. One run gave me a full armor set. It completely changed the feel of the game for me.
-
Lies! You're just not good at farming or picking the right things to do? I went from 518 to 550 in a day after the update on my first character, my 2nd character needed 2-3 activities and on my 3rd character I only need 1 more drop to get 550.
-
6 AntwortenThis post is just wrong.... I went from 534 to 547 in under an hour of play. No extra time in ultimate night 1 piece of loot at plus 1. The changes were good, at this point youre just whining to whine.
-
3 AntwortenIt’s been improved by quite a bit tbh. There are still many issues but leveling has sped up immensely.

Bearbeitet von TUROK-81: 10/15/2025 4:17:18 AM💡 How to Revive Destiny 2? Give Us the “Exotic Heart”! Everyone keeps talking about how to “fix” Destiny 2 — less monetization, more content, better balance. But what if the solution is the opposite? What if Destiny needs to become overpowered again? ⸻ 🩸 The Concept: The Exotic Heart Every Exotic weapon and armor piece could have a chance to gain an Exotic Heart — an ultra-rare, mystical upgrade that takes the item to a whole new level. These Hearts can’t be crafted, focused, or targeted. They’re pure RNG, incredibly rare drops — the kind of loot that makes you scream in disbelief when you finally get one. ⸻ 🔥 Examples: • Hard Light – Exotic Heart: Kills trigger weakening explosions. Kills on weakened targets cause an additional blinding explosion. Also: no damage falloff. • One-Eyed Mask – Exotic Heart: Keep all vanilla original perks, plus a permanently active radar, even while aiming. ⸻ 🧠 Why This Could Work Destiny 2 has become too predictable. Everything is balanced, controlled, and carefully tuned. The “Exotic Heart” system would bring back mystery, excitement, and prestige. It would give players something legendary to chase again — that wild dream of finding the perfect, one-of-a-kind version of their favorite Exotic. In short: ➡️ More chaos. ➡️ More fantasy. ➡️ More Destiny. ⸻ 💬 What do you think? Would this system be genius or completely broken? Would you love the idea of your favorite Exotic having a hidden, god-tier version out there in the wild? Or would that level of RNG and power creep destroy balance? And honestly? If Destiny is going down, let’s go out with a Gjallarhorn moment — a final, glorious explosion of chaos and fun that reminds us why we fell in love with this game in the first place. 💥
