Max Gear Level Calculator on Engram Drops?!?! THANK YOU! Rolling Midnight D2 Release?!?! WOW SWEET!!!
Bungie-
Good lord thanks alot for implementing a smart loot system that reads your highest level upon engram drop rather than forcing us to do the "Inventory shuffle" to equip our best gear so that the gear drops at highest possible level. Seriously a HUGE quality of life improvement that I just want to say THANKS for. This will save HOURS of time.
And KUDOS to doing a rolling midnight for D2 as opposed to the "Whatever Time" Pacific of previous releases. I get to actually play this game at midnight. Good move.

11 RepliesSo if I see 210 Light on an Engram, that is the Minimum amount of light it can roll when I go to turn it in?
-
Only downside is we cant hoard engrams for new DLCs as the will not drop at the higher light anymore.

3 RepliesI'm happy that they're doing a midnight release! I'm probably going to be pissed when I can't enter the game due to max servers. Oh man the sadness I had when I tried during RoI...
-
If encrypted engrams are light level locked then it kinda makes sense that they too will count towards possible highest light level.

2 Replies[quote]And KUDOS to doing a rolling midnight for D2[/quote] I can agree with this. It'll certainly be better that 3million people all logging on at the same time. It'll be a steady increase in traffic. Easily more manageable than "OK EVERYONE GO NOW!".

4 RepliesEdited by TheShadow-cali: 9/1/2017 8:54:03 PMThey went through this with Ttk and had issuse. So hopefully for the gamers sake they did a better job this time around. If they did, I can at least give them credit for that. [spoiler]Shhh don't tell anyone, I have a reputation to keep lol[/spoiler]

[i]I get to actually play this game at midnight.[/i] Can't tell if post is sarcastic or genuine, most likely a little bit of both.

7 RepliesRolling release huh? Good thing I am on the East Coast! The gear thing needed to happen. The part about Guided Games has me very apprehensive. Just put in options for matchmaking already.
-
The progression might be a step in a good direction but the devil is in the details and the new setup is going to slow down progression for the following reasons. 1) Reward level is resolved immediately meaning that acquiring multiple pieces at once will be less rewarding since we no longer have the opportunity to become a higher light level prior to encryption of another piece. 2) Only a single exotic is counted and alternative class gear is ignored. This bias progression towards those people that run multiple of the same class. Feeding gear forward to characters for infusion is a regular tactic to increase progression. I like the reduction in inventory management requirements but if they're taking this step then why not just get rid of engrams altogether?
-
Yeah, communications seems too be getting better, we will see tho

6 RepliesI don't want to sound like an idiot but I know it said rolling 12 a.m. est for the states but I live in the midwest with a CST so does that mean I'm going at 11 pm? Once again sounding like an idiot but not trying to be one...

5 RepliesNow if it just works the way Bungie says it does
-
29 RepliesThe downside to having the engram's level determined on drop is that you won't be able to store them for when new content is on the horizon. I know a few people who would power-level on day one of new DLC by using exotic engrams they'd been saving up.

18 RepliesEdited by CryogenicEmbryo: 9/1/2017 9:47:19 PMThey already tried that, didn't work. Don't hold your breath this time fanboy.

11 RepliesI know, right? It was especially nice of Bungie to ensure that Warlocks' continued dominance went forward into D2 with the best exotics. Now that we know ALL the exotics and their effects, it's pretty clear which class will be the go-to in raids!
-
hopefully it actuallys work but i bet you it wont also watch it give us dupes
-
5 RepliesYou read the big downside? Now you need to farm engram, run decrypt, farm engram, run decrypt to get the most progression since it's locked to your light when you earn it. This run back to the farm every time you get an engram system is much worse than the occasional "oh crap I forgot to equip the better gear..." one.
-
11 RepliesI'm hit/miss on the gear thing. Just feels too streamlined, but we'll have to see.
-
still.... after every engram you should go decrypt it as fast as possible, so that your next drop is possibly higher
-
I'll still save my exotic engrams to make sure I'm the highest light in going to be in lmao
-
2 RepliesPlenty of good improvments but dont jump for joy. Engrams light level is locked as soon as it drops, only the roll changes on decryption. Not sure how that will turn out
-
3 RepliesI have to agree that the smart loot system is perhaps the biggest QoL improvement they've added to Destiny 2 (that we know of)

Feels good having a game release on [i]the actual date[/i] ;) [spoiler]#AmericaTooSlow :)[/spoiler]
