Iron Banner against 570 players is not a great experience lol.
Some games aren't bad but when there is a a big level difference it's extremely noticeable.Yeah it is not fun at all. D1 had this, but the drops would help you level up too. Plus in D1 the levels were so much lower they barely mattered.
It was bad enough running into 6 man fireteams, but now they have a level advantage too.
Ever since reaching the Dreaming City,dipping the Raid chests and Iron Banner... I been satisfied.
It didn't start this way and the reward system with the tower vendors is a mess as is the odd some times lower light drops BUT I am
definitely starting to get the type of content i want and this is without counting the DC changes and added strikes(man Corruption is such a good one)

Your better than 99% of the best Destiny streamers then. They all say it's a huge difference.lol. I put on the 10 power eververse set and wrecked. power advantage is negligible
Shocking. Streamers are full of s***.Your better than 99% of the best Destiny streamers then. They all say it's a huge difference.
500 vs 550 has differencesShocking. Streamers are full of s***.
If the difference was huge then why do I ever die to people 100 + levels below me? Yeah! Exactly.
I'm finally taking the time to get Cayde' s gun. The 25 critical kills with hand cannon was made much easier in crucible rumble matches. Should have it by the end of the day.
Got it. God bless YouTube videos for the stashes.
Well the mission tells you which planets the chests are on and then text comes up on screen when you're in the general vicinity. I think people just share the locations on message boards and then people make videos.I always wonder how the first few people ever figure these things out on their own? You know some person figured this all out and probably gets no credit for it as others just steal it.
I got up to 540 pretty quick . I pretty much used this guys video as a general way to get better drops . The weekly spider bounties /dreaming city bounties and nightfall also help a lot...I am officially burnt out on this game. Doing repetitive weekly milestones in order to get a .2 gain in power (if I'm lucky) is just too boring. I get the same guns over and over. Got another Edge Transit last night.
The time gating has destroyed this game. Instead of exploring content in the Dreaming City, I'm doing things on Mercury (from 2 DLCs ago) because it gives me a guaranteed powerful engram. Yawn.
I'm just failing to see the point right now. Hopefully they tweak the drop rates and fix the duplicates. There's just too many good games already out and more coming out this fall.

Yes, the dreaming city Quest and bounties are extremely tough when you’re in the 520s. I also forgot to mention most the time I’m playing with my childhood best friend as well. so having another player with you makes that part a lot easier. We have pretty much been trying our best to get raid ready in a timely manner . Absolutely loved the last raid . Had awesome gear/loot and the final boss was a lot of fun. Even on the hard raid . Only took about 10 completions to get full raid gear . so looking forward to this one because it looks really, really good .The problem is doing the Petra stuff is very difficult if you are only 520. Now that I'm 533 I'm just starting to be able to not get thrashed in those activities.
The Dreaming City has enemies that are 530 to start, which because of the way damage scales is very hard to take down.
I'm really just able to do that stuff now this week.
So far all of my really good exotic drops have come from nightfall . Come to think of it ..those are the only exotic drops I have yet to get it . Lol. I have yet To hit the target score for nightfall, but it’s always been a two-man fire team with my friend and I. If we had a third player we could probably do it. supposedly the drops for hitting the high score are really good .I guess my big gripe isn't that it is too hard to level up (I think it is too grindy anyway), but the problem is the rewards along the way.
What rewards can I get along the way? Exotics? Not likely. Random rolls on legendaries are nice, but only go so far. Maybe I'll get a god roll Truth, but chances are it will just be more Edge Transits and old year 1 stuff that is completely useless. Supposedly there's year 1 guns that random roll, but I have yet to see any. Think I got a Better Devils with basically explosive rounds plus a trash perk so essentially the same gun.
Coming into this weekend, should I play 1-2 hours or 10-12? The extra effort will get me a few more points of power, but what else? The drop rate is just so low and unrewarding. Now Bungie is taking 2-3 more weeks to "fix" the Edge Transit thing by dropping useless year 1 heavies.
