It's just weird that they're somehow incapable, despite now what ten opportunities to learn, that maybe don't say "We want to fix our reputation with the community" and then do something like this the next week. They're basically really greedy babies. Though granted this isn't that huge an issue.

Iron Banner is a great time to grind your Crucible Sniper + Iron Banner Power Weapon ornaments. Just camp the power and shoot at all the targets running everywhere.

Have I forgotten how Stuff works? My max power is 358. Did this week's... Flashpoint? Is that it? The thing on Io. Went back to Cayde and he's offering a 358 engram for me. Is this a bug like the other stuff?

You got around this by not decoding and waiting for them to auto decode on the weekly reset. You can check the power level of the powerful engram before you decode. If it says it is the same level as a regular purple don't decode it: it's hosed.

This sniper looks fun; high as gently caress impact and Field Prep gives you lots of ammo to carry. Optional faster reload if you haven't unbound your crouch key CS:GO style. APR is nice. wish this thing had riccochet rounds, but it'd be too obviously an antiope replacement. That sway reduction perk on a high rpm smg like this might approach the same thing though, but maybe that's just me liking bullet hoses  speaking of bullet hoses

The light system is terrible now. If you don’t raid, it takes forever to level up. The only thing on Mars that increases your light is EP and you have to be at 370-380 to complete that successfully. D1 Year 3 had the best system for raising your light.

My thought for fixing D2 end game progression: 1) Milestones that give powerful rewards instead give 2 tokens that can be used to purchase powerful engrams. Change this token every season to prevent hoarding at max light; 2) Every level you get also grants you 1 of these tokens along with a bright engram, so you'll get 3 quick tokens with bonus experience. - Put in a vendor that lets you exchange 2 tokens for a powerful engram. - For armor, narrow the engrams to a specific slot (head engram, chest etc.). - For weapons, narrow it down to specific weapon types (hand cannon, fusion rifle, etc.). - Each engram drops 1x reward of the chosen type and 1x completely random piece. -Also, put in an exotic engram that can be purchased for 4-6 tokens that guarantees one new exotic. You can now choose what slot to upgrade instead of potentially getting the same piece over and over again. You can now use your preferred weapon without crippling your light level. You get an extra powerful engram weekly by playing through your bonus experience. Also, being able to earn tokens through experience makes literally everything in the game worth doing again without blowing the lid off of time gating. Just going around and shooting mans/doing lost sectors/public events still lets you progress and play after you've gotten your weekly milestones done. It's not unreasonable for people to gain one level without bonus experience to get a 4th token for an extra powerful engram that week; however, if you want more than that you'll need to get through two non-bonus experience levels per extra engram. Being able to buy exotics with the tokens stops them from being useless at max light, or possibly extends light level progression if people choose to blow tokens looking for a new exotic instead. Changing tokens out every season also prevents token hoarding to reach new light caps. I would never stop playing if this was the progression model.

Eh, it would probably be pretty similar. Or you could easily tweak the values so it wasn't - make max light level increases larger, narrow the power jump from powerful engrams, something like that. And even when you max out, you can still go for exotics or a perfectly-rolled item when randomization is implemented in whatever form. This would just give you more choice and prevent you from getting punched in the dick too hard by RNGesus.

Last week was the same, an avalanche of sidearms and ARs. Helmet is my lowest and for the last like 8 LL I've been dragging it up point by point with blues. I'll reach max light a few weeks before DLC 3.

This method of progression is fine, even for a weirdo like myself. Hopefully they don't bring back random rolls without any sort of way to grind to change the roll. I honestly hated random rolls because no matter how good I'd get at this game, I'd be posting images of random rear end purples to SA from my inventory and going "is any of this good?" The fact that average people who don't theorycraft min-maxing have no idea what is considered Best In Slot stuff and could easily dismantle it unaware was the worst thing about D1. If the current progression model is really inaccessible, they should just drop revive tokens from non-prestige Leviathan. They were only added because they wanted to punish party members who Go In Hard Now and Ask For Revive Later. If you can revive Yolo McSwaggins constantly without wiping the group, then people shouldn't have any problems. EDIT: Also, just for context, most of you guys playing and most of the people I see on forums are 5-10 levels higher than me. I attribute this to the fact that I didn't buy CoO, and most of my gear opportunities in the first week were spent moving up the 30 or whatever levels that people who bought CoO had already done.

Deleting a weapon because you didn't know whether or not you liked the perks was the worst thing about D1? It's interesting that you think revive tokens are a "punishment" considering that in D1, there were no revives in the Hard Mode raids. That right there may have been the worst thing about D1.

The flashpoint guy was a dummy and didn't realize that Reward Level is based on Actual Base Power (not including Mods) so even though his screen showed 363, due to +5 Mods in everything, he was actually a 358 and so the 363 flashpoint engram was gonna be a huge upgrade.
