Or does your forecast get even lower as you go from 500-550, even on ultimate difficulty? I'm currently getting 528 from portal activities, before renegades I was around or under 520, I've been playing the legendary campaign since it released. Before renegades, I was able to get the forecast in any activity up to A, almost to A+ if I wanted to put on modifiers that suck to play. Now I'm lucky to get the bar above the B+ threshold.
I just completed the conflux and got a TIER 3 Psi Aeterna, the focus feature for today, whereas I was getting tier 5's before. So did they lower the max score threshold, or is this just punishment for getting closer to level cap? It's bad enough we can't play quick play, where most of the bonus focus gear usually drops, if you're at a high enough light level you get absolutely nothing besides enhancement crystals! Now what, even on ultimate difficulty we can only hope for like a B or C+ score at 550, even with maxed out modifiers!?
I swear, this literally the ONLY game in history that punishes you so hard for being at max level. Even without the deltas, we're basically forced to play every activity on ultimate difficulty just to get the bare minimum rewards, and we're probably lucky to even get that if we do! I guess the people who like to just relax and play on lower difficulty are pretty much screwed! No wonder people are leaving en masse!
Bungie, you need to either remove or seriously rework the portal scoring system, this is just beyond oppressive. And you're surprised people aren't coming back to be constantly punished for levelling up!? This isn't dark souls!
