Make nightfall rewards guaranteed 300 light?

Done the nightfall every week and so far the only good thing i've gotten out of it was a level 300 helmet, which was instantly infused. Since then everything has been lower light than the stuff i'm using with a poor selection of perks. Bearing in mind most of my gear is around 295 light this is frustrating, as it means i'm almost purely reliant on the raid to rank up my next 15 light levels. I think making all nightfall drops 300 would be a good bridge between the raid and normal play and it means that players who are unable to raid aren't gonna get their asses kicked in IB by guardians 20 levels above them. It wouldn't be OP either. If I was lucky enough to get one of each item from the nightfall at 300 light, it would take me 8 weeks to get my character to level 300 and that's not including the ghost and artifact! I just think this would be a nice touch and it would give people a reason to do the nightfall other than the fleeting chance of a 310 exotic or a good weapon roll. Thoughts everyone?

  • Sorry - this was about Nightfall! I did it on both characters last night and got 1 310 exotic supercell and and one 290 exotic claws of ahamkara to drop for me as a reward. That wasnt bad!

  • Playing IB again this week - not a fan of what they are selling so no real reason to level up. Also, the drops are the same - I am 304 and 302 for 2 of my characters and nothing drops to help me advance the light levels. Not sure if I am going to continue the grind this time around...lol

  • Nightfall rewards have been brought up a lot. A lot of players have send me feedback describing them as "underwhelming." The [url=https://twitter.com/thislukesmith/status/654215700572073984]designers[/url] are working on changes. I don't have specifics yet, but wanted to let you know that we are working on it.

    • If a players does 3 nightfalls in a week they should get at a minimum, one 300+ item. This will bring them up slowly to 300 over several weeks. Players shouldn't be forced to do the raid.

    • Yes! Harder content should net better or higher level rewards. This has been a frustration since day one. Wake up Bungie!!!!

      [Future Update] Good news, Guardians! Your comments about underwhelming loot drops from the Nightfall have been heard and Tess is bringing a new consumable for you. Let's hear it directly from Tess. Tess: For 1000 silver you will get a 100% increase in RNG favor to drop loot that is 300+ light. Just head to Eververse and pick up your new Radiating Rectal Sphere, insert it and complete a Nightfall. Wow, I don't think I could have said it better. Thank you Tess for addressing our concerns and bringing this great new consumable to the Tower. So, bend over guardians and un-pucker; your loot drops are about to get better! Also, next week Luke Smith will be showing off a new emote that allows your guardian to throw Silver at a display near you. See you star-side!

      • Make it at least a 297 or 298 weapon/armor piece for completing the new hard nightfalls

        I agree, the main disappointment about the Nightfall rewards so far has been the low light level. There should be more drops at the 300+ light level. I actually wouldn't care if the drops were blue gear if they were 300+ light. There are plenty of legendary drops and even exotic drops at 280-290 light, but getting something at 300+ light to infuse onto the gear you like is crazy hard outside of doing the raid.

        • Um, no. That would make getting light too easy. They wanted to make it hard to get max level. It used to be that I would be max level in 2 weeks. Now I'm 306 and having tons of fun.

          • I know I have no desire to do the nightfall anymore. Ran one last night for the vanguard quest. Got a 274 light legendary gauntlets(aKa 3 legendary marks) And to pour salt in the wounds, I ranked up my faction in the nightfall. MY faction reward was the EXACT same gauntlets, exact. I read they are working on it, so let's hope it is fixed soon. Nightfall is the hardest content in game and should not give rewards you can get from a level 6 dreg, it is just disrespectful to the player. Bungie, you should act now as your time is limited. Sure you heard it enough by now, but there are some good games on the horizon. And most gamers have jobs, and not the huge amounts of time to grind for things like some do. They will certainly move on.

            • I've done 3 NF runs. I've got 6 strange coins, an low grade shotgun, calcified fragments. So worth it

            • It's not just an issue with Nightfall. My light steadily increased as I progressed through quests… until I hit about 285. Then progression slowed to a crawl because the game refuses to give me anything in the 290's more than one out of every 20ish engrams. Maybe less. They should fix it so that activities give you engrams guaranteed to be in a range of required light for the activity to required light +10. I'm fine with a cap of 300 for non-raid loot and Engram drops, but I should not be getting 26X gear out of mission and activities requiring 280 light and up. I can't even use that crap to infuse other weapons to my current average.

              • Despite all of Bungie's statements to the contrary, end game in Year 2 begins and ends with the raid. Once you hit 300 light, anything less will just bring you down (in light level and in spirits). Nightfall is a total waste. The only reason I ever ran it was to hunt for exotics and now Three of Coins makes that hunt obsolete. Upping the light level of nightfall rewards is a good idea.

              • Bump.... Nightfall should be high risk high reward... This week's NF is hard... Im fine with that... But getting a couple strange coins and a legendary helm is ridiculous.

              • Rewards for Nightfall should be as follows 25-50 Legendary Marks (guaranteed drop) 300+ Legendary or Exotic Reward 25 three of coins 25 strange coins these should be our rewards

                • I got a 264 weak ass pulse rifle last weak. I have no incentive to go through the ass pain of nightfall, with garbage rewards like that. Id rather trust my luck with three of coins.

                  • And bring back faction rep. Must have faction rep!!! They could also give us 20 motes of light per completion instead (in addition to the nightfall rewards).

                  • 1) put legendary marks ( they are in daily and not the nightfall?!?) 2))White level gear that is appropriate. Exotics 310. Legendary 300. This leaves room for your precious raid gear to upgrade the last bit. ( though you're still stuck with the forever 29 again) 3)antiquated rooms is a dick move. Here's a token to go play another nightfall level activity and give me one re-ward forward to nightfall activities. Just take them off the loot table. None of these are game breaking and would make the nightfall fun again. Quick question: Why would matchmaking be such a problem here now that we aren't returned to orbit like the "old days"? Please note: every one loves now BTW
