Delta Caps Feel Really Bad
Solo, Fireteam, and Pinnacle Ops feel much more stressful and frustrating than before 9.1.5.1 because of the Delta Caps.
When I play with friends who are over 500, Ultimate has felt really bad, as the constantly-appearing, harder-to-stun Champions have made Fireteam Ops stressful and overwhelming.
Delta Caps in 9.1.5.1 have removed the choice of difficulty level when seeking any progress or meaningful reward, and gaining power beyond 450 seems only harmful.
I am only interested in Tier 5 drops now that I'm above 450 Power. Before Delta Caps, I could choose Player Stakes and other modifiers to be around 10 Power above enemies. I was still forced into Grandmaster difficulty, but it was manageable. Gaining Power also made activities easier within each range of 100.
Delta Caps make Portal activities painful and frustrating, they take away player choice of difficulty, and they make Power gains punishing instead of rewarding. Please remove them.

4 RepliesThere was a point before the Deltas that I was setting up portal events at -70 just to see a B score. Now it is never more than -30. It is way more manageable now. Granted some of that was because of the score multiplier but I gained 57 levels last week. The reason I know that is because I wasn't really playing the game. I got my Wolfsbane 2 weeks ago and did nothing else that week. They made the changes to bonus drops and deltas. Now I am 510. That was never going to happen for me, playing Ultimate, hiding behind anything I can find with a scout rifle at -70. It has felt like the most rewarding week I have ever played in Destiny.
