So, can this officially be a thing now, since the smart loot system still can't provide avenues to getting to max light level without a boon from rngesus?
40+ kings fall completions, not to mention handfuls of unfinished raids because we only were looking for specific battles/drops, and an entire clan seems to be forever 319. Some of us can't get a helmet at 320 for the life of Osiris, others can't get a ghost shell that high, while many are suffering from lack of a class item at the illustrious magic number.
And it's not just raids either, although that should be the most surefire way to get the gear at the light drops you need. Trials bounties, srl while it was around for helmets, iron banner streaks of pure soul crushing domination (we had a clan message us jokingly and say 'so this is what cancer feels like' after we not only won but damaged their psyches), and yet we are always still lacking across all of our toons the same magical pieces of gear that let us polish off the grind.
Maybe the smart loot system needs a major overhaul, because it can be demoralizing and makes us curse the names of the cryptarch and speaker over and over when the totem door drop gives us two ghost shells, one at 310, the other at 311, when wearing 315-317 shells, or when oryx trolls us from beyond his throne room dimension with hard mode helmet drops of 311 and 312 whilst giving us another 320 primary to add to the infusing pile.
Heck, we've even thought of offering Cozmo or deej as a blood sacrifice to oryx, figuring the only way to get to 320 is to play the game of life as the hive do: through blood and sacrifice. Is that what it will really take?

At this point in time, I honestly can't see why Bungie are being so stingy with the loot drops. Let people have fun with what little there is left to do. What's the harm in that Bungie... Seriously?

Awesome title burmp.

Just did the Golgoroth challenge with my warlock the other day, the 320 pieces dropped but my inventory was full, get back to the postmaster and nothing, no 320 chest piece or artifact waiting for me

1 ReplyI honestly think the smart loot system logs your playtime and then attempts to spread out rewards so you reach 320 by xx date. I didn't hard mode raid for 3 months went in last week and Golgorath dropped 320 boots for me and Everyone was f-ing and blinding that they've raided for weeks and still haven't seen a 320 and there I am first raid in 3 months with a 320 drop! I know for a fact that the only reason a 320 dropped for me is to entice me to play the raid again every week but I know for a fact there's a 90% chance a 320 won't drop so I won't play. The system tries to get you hooked again like freemiem games do. Instead of being fun or having new content this game relies on "getting you hooked" to keep you playing.

I agree one of my friends who has only been playing for 8 weeks is a 320 already and me who been playing the hard raid every week since it came out is still stuck at 319 on all 3 guardains shows how shit rng is and it favours the new the noobs and the people who play the least.

The smart loot system is working exactly the way it was designed. Extending the grind. It's a replacement for lack of content. So obvious to see now.

56 completions. No 320 here. I feel your pain.
-
It's only 1 light level away but I get you, I'm forever 319 too but I want to be 320 since that's the goal right? It's max level and I want to be max level, not max level -1
-
Reached 320 and I see no reason need to be, honestly enjoy the number 315 a lot more the. 320

1 ReplyThis is why we need to have RnG and a Mat like etheric light to get us to max light level. An Etheric Light type mat to get ghosts and class items to 320 and everything else from challenge mode bosses

320 and 319 have literally no damage difference bro.

1 ReplyEdited by CatMan: 1/23/2016 11:48:17 PMXD there are players , a loooooot of players not even close to 319 xD and people are complaining about missing 1 light level? What difference would it make? KF hard mode is 310. More like forever 299-315 or something. This new light system sucks a bag of dix.

Until the next dlc or major game update where the vendor will sell 330 gear. I still remember TDB. I don't even care anymore. I've got 315 and two 312s. They are more than enough. I don't even raid anymore. It's such a drag. And I love raiding. But not in this game. But hey, we can play romantic doubles in a couple of weeks!! Awesome!!!❤️❤️❤️

2 RepliesSpinmetal hat time. What if there is a smart loot system but it was designed to keep players from getting to 320 too soon to increase playtime. It is designed to work against us.

I have one 320 and 2 characters stuck at 319. On my hunter all I needed was 1 pair of gauntlets. Luckily the Golgoroth challenge was on. But I got a 320 chest piece on all 3 runs. :'-)

1 ReplyI'm forever 300-310 because I hate how long a raid takes and the fast pace of trials is my least favorite form of PvP.

rnG minor. Well played. BUMP

1 ReplyBecause of the more shallow upkick between single Light levels, 319 should be more than enough for anything you're trying to accomplish. From a completionist's point of view, however, I can see how this would get infuriating..

1 ReplyWe should create support group... I have 3 characters 319 , 1 needs a bond, another needs a mark and a ghost, the third needs cloak , ghost and helmet. It's 1 light point, 3 light points and 5 light points that seem to never show up. My warlock is stuck at 319 with 1 tiny light point to get to 320 for 7 weeks now. My only consolation is that it actually makes no difference in terms of damage/defense, it's more for accomplishment. After long studies made by several reddit users, they concluded that the game works in "ranks" of 5 light levels each. Both character and weapons/armor light level count for it, but if your character is above 315 and the weapons are also above 315 light, you do the same damage as a 320. (same for armor, if all armor pieces are above 315, you have the same defense as a 320).

3 RepliesIt's nowhere near the same as forever 29/31 though as the incremental spike in power is no longer there. The difference in power between 319 and 320 is nothing. It's just an aspiration for most to achieve max light.
