TL, DR: what the title says. Edit: seems my point wasn't made entirely clear. What I am saying, holds true from my point of view. It's a personal opinion that I find this to be the most horid progression system I've seen. What I am advocating for is a dynamic scaling system so loot drops according to your power level and not horendous below. Example: this could be done by scaling down our dps, armor & health according to the planet we're on, or activity we're doing. This means having to do the same effort as a lower light level player while getting loot matching your level. Then every player can enjoy all the content or whatever content someone prefers which this game has to offer at their own pace and progress (either slow or somewhat faster). This makes all content worthwhile and won't force anyone to play any content they don't like. This doesn't mean max power level!! Keep that for the true end game like raids. I just want to see a system where every player, from casual "scrub" to "no lifer", can play how they want and have a good experience. Also: attack the idea, not the person if you want meaningful conversation. Anyway, still surprised this post got the attention it already had. Hi, I've started playing video games at around age 10 or something and being 35 now means that I've been enjoying this for over 20+ years accross all platforms and all genres. By no means am I, or have ever been, like the current youtube streamers or esports players who do nothing else but play video games all day long. But I also have dedicated more hours to gaming than I dare to admit :-D I've seen many bad games and was in awe with the sheer brilliance of others. And when it comes to the rewards and progression in Destiny, this (personally) ranks in the category even beyond bad. I have never seen a game where progression is so throttled and stuck behind a whole lot of shit like in this game. Never have I seen a game which offer such shit rewards for completing activities (2 tokens and blue anyone??). Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you should get easy handouts! But this system is beyond what you would expect from such a studio. Let's take a look at the Escalation Protocol rewards for example. This was advertised as the ultimate of what Warmind had to offer. And while this may have held truth in that context, in Forsaken it is not up to par. Why do the rewards (armor, weapons) don't drop at my current light level and still drop at 340 or so? This is almost 200 levels below my current level. Offcourse, there is this thing called infusion but we all know what a load of crap this has become with the whole masterwork cores thingy. There are a ton of games which have a dynamic system in place which will check you current power level and adjust the power level of the item accordingly. This kicks in for when you have a higher level than the max level of the item at which it would normally drop. This same system can be put in place for every drop in game. I've had a ton load of weapons drop at 377 or so while I'm at 527. Y tho? Why can't it drop at my current level? This would actually increase my chance of progression as the item in slot could have a lower light then my overal light level. But no, this dumb ass rewards and progression design wants me to go run end game or high end content; which asks for a higher power level then I currently have; to get the loot I need to actually get to that power level? This offcourse means getting killed left and right and not helping team members or fellow players at all! Why? Why can't I go to the EDZ for example, start shooting up the place and get drops at my current light level? Let's say that I have a chest piece at 521 light level and my overall is 525. I get a drop of a chest piece which would be at 525 and tadaaah I can have a small upgrade. Talk about rewarding gameplay. I log out for the day and feel good about my playtime. This would allow every player in this game to progress in any way they want, whenever they want at their own pace. Have more time or can do more content in less time? Great, more progression for you. Have little time or are just not as efficient at it? No sweat, you can still progress a bit. Bungie, you have gotten this current system very, very and utterly completely wrong! Give us the damn freedom to progress in any way we goddamn want!! Cheers!
