You basically have to do lots of math to figure out what you should be doing at any given time to maximize your chances of getting something useful. There's also multiple soft caps (520, 540, 560, 580) and not all powerful engrams are created equal. Of course the game doesn't tell you any of this poo poo. The most amazing part of this is how badly Bungie describe the new system. This is what they were trying to describe when they said that we would get higher rewards for doing an activity below the recommended level.

Do stuff with gold stars and you'll get more powerful. The only way it could be simpler is if leveling up didn't exist at all.

Sure, you don't have to think about it at all and go that way. But that's true of any game mechanic? I guess it's super simple if you don't care that you did 3 strikes and got something completely useless to improving your light.

This is whats dumb and what happened multiple times today. From the 24th this month, https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/248331271 quote:• Powerful Gear: We have been monitoring reports of powerful engrams not dropping loot at the appropriate power levels in relation to the player. We have confirmed player reports and identified the issue causing powerful engrams to sometimes drop below appropriate power levels, and are working on a fix to this issue. This happened at least once today with a weekly dreaming city bounty that said powerful rewards and dropped about 15 LL below my max.

While I am sure there are bugs related to powerful drops, I am also sure than 69% of reported cases are people not understanding the difference between +1 overall light level engrams and +5/+10 overall light. Around 4.20% are people not understanding that if you have a slot that's +7 relative to your average light, and you get a +5 powerful to drop in that sense slot, it will not help you at all (but makes great infusion fodder). Another 13.37% are people not carefully reading what the actual reward is when you make an offering to the queen And finally, 14.88% of reported cases are due to the interface bug showing IB engrams as powerfuls when they weren't .

Aren't you meant to do your dailies in full / open your p rime and then weekly or something? Reason being the daily drops aren't as powerful and therefore you're better off buffing your lowest bit or whatever before the bigger jumps of powerful? I remember some did a write up on it.

Do your big boy engrams first unless you have a slot or two that are so far behind they are dragging down your overall light. Then do your +1s. Basically do everything in the drawing city and raid first, then do the weekly gambit bounty (not milestone), then do everything else. If you're below 540 do nightfall first, and if you're close to 540 maybe to some little ones to push you above it before hitting the big ones.

New Crucru is doing wonders for my end of workday. It's a real blast to feel like I can win an engagement without HAVING to run a certain build. It feels good. And it seems to get me lots of powerful engrams!

I managed to get myself stuck on the geometry on the final Ace of Spades quest. Between the 6th and 7th chests, there’s a large wall with a difficult to reach ceiling. I believed I had to jump over the wall and got trapped in an invisible box that stretched across the ceiling and glitched the graphics so I could see the next two chests through the wall. Had to kill my self 3 times to escape. Beware.

my religion is “believe in yourself”, I believe in Tei. I call that Teism. But is a one man (mouse) religion and we are not hiring. You have to create your own. I like the new pvp mode, but I fear is going to be the trials one, and I think trials is better with less rules and less objetives.

They did have a Halo clue a couple of years ago. IIRC it was something like "The Master Chief shoots the Covenant. Then he shoots the Flood. Rinse and repeat." which is not inaccurate.

If I want to start really slamming my dick in the door that is the broadsword quest, is it better to use my VW or pull an inaugural address or of my collection? I've been away for a long time so I don't know what the meta is besides Bygones shredding me all the time, but I've heard inaugural is still good.

I got a Horror’s Least yesterday. I’m not the right person to make this sort of comparison but it feels like a triple burst sidearm with pulse range. I’ve got low stability and high range but it still feels really accurate. Almost want to see what hip fire mod does for it. e: Icarus? I guess hip fire is a perk. I have a fever.

I already hate life forever so I'm set for that part at least. I don't have a Bygones yet but I do have an IA and a Go Figure which is also apparently good? I'll try the combos out based on my other weapons and see what comes of it. Thanks man.
