I still can't play at the difficulty I want to in the portal. There have been a lot of good changes to the portal in the last few months, namely power delta changes and bonus focus reward sharing. My main issue with it though still persists - I no longer get rewarded for playing mid-level content once I hit a certain power level. I made [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/265006392]a post[/url] about this back in late Edge of Fate, highlighting that I could only get tier 1 loot for difficulties that used to net me tier 3 loot due to my power level. My hope was that Bungie would introduce static power deltas and fix this, and would you look at that they did! I still can't get tier 3 loot though... This made sense when playing lower difficulty content meant you were dramatically over-levelled, but now that we have static deltas only being netted tier 1 rewards seems arbitrary. The root of the issue is that the friends I play with play a lot more casually than I do, they aren't beginners but they aren't 550 power no-lifers like I am, and I feel like there isn't a piece of content in the portal that we can play together where we're all having fun (now that some of us have hit 400 power). We're either playing a normal difficulty vanguard alert that's braindead easy for all of us, or an ultimate / grandmaster activity where we run out of revive tokens a frustratingly long way into it, which almost always ends in "let's call it a night". Because these are the experiences available they've either already left or are in the process of leaving for other games. I would love to get back to a place where I can run a nightfall-level ritual activity with my friends where we're all having fun and getting rewarded, and I think allowing us to get loot that corresponds to the difficulty of the activity we're playing would be a great start, i.e. tier 3 for master, tier 4 from grandmaster. Even better, since now we're getting tier 5's from normal difficulty content through vanguard alerts, I don't see why I shouldn't get tier 5s (capped at a certain power level) for whatever content I play in the portal.
