Is there some good explanation of how exactly infusion works since the April update?

Do the attribute bonuses of the infused armor increase along with the power level or what?

WYSIWYG 335 --> 335

Stats go up linearly but it's still RNG if it's actually a max stat roll or not. You can use something like Destiny Item Manager to look at your gear and tell you if it's close to max roll or not. There's a breakdown of what numbers are required for each armor type to qualify it as a max roll, but it's like 25/25 for class items and ghosts, and 45/45 for helmets, without the bonus perk applied.

Yes, but only because they've always scaled with light level.

The only change is that when you infuse the target item always rises to the exact level of the consumed item.

I assume it'll be like the y1/y2 transition.. the amount necessary to hit tier 5 in a stat will increase meaning you'll have to upgrade or discard all your old stuff.

Stuff like that is pretty standard for MMO's.

I wish stuff like armor could come with us. It's annoying when great armor designs are made useless because of obsolete stats. I miss my VoG Warlock armor... :(

Solo rolling is almost always bad if you are of moderate skill level.
IB just ratchets up the sweat factor of a normal control match.

I think the Y1 break was unique, the perk setup was broken for what they wanted to do with the game so they decided to just cut it off and move on with life. So far it sounds like ROI won't be making any of our stuff obsolete, it'll be infusable to whatever the new cap is.

Who knows what Destiny 2 will do though.

Ib is worse because the match making is different and worse.

The better you are the worse your team mates and worse the connections.

poo poo team pubbies makes it harder because they dont understand where to push to and stop and where to hold their ground etc. At least when you have a good rando team they know how to cover a bros flank. Its a shame because it can be fun in a fireteam or when you get a good green lobby but the latter is near impossible.

Hopefully the the pvp reveal has something interesting. It wont

Guy posts on reddit that his destiny characters "mysteriously" disappeared.

Reddit spergs discover his trials K/D went from 0.93 to 4.0 in the course of a week, Bungie later posts that they looked at their logs and noticed new logins on his account from other parts of the world.

loving awesome, give your account to someone for a lighthouse run and when (I assume) you fail to pay up, the guy who boosted you purges your characters.

I just googled the cost for paying and holy poo poo. They have $150.00 USD for Rank 5 iron banner, what the gently caress. You can suck at PVP and still get there easily. Flawless trials is 85 USD if you give them your account. Who are these retards paying people to play a video game for them.
