today me and my buddies tried to get to top 1% . my power lvl is 550 and my team mates were 530 and 510 . so first we ran the proving grounds with every negative modifier , at the end my team mate got 3.1 mil score and they got to top1% but me as the 550 guy got only 2.5mil and couldn't get to 1%.
then we did the Coil and the Heliostat and same thing happened . my score was lower than them every time despite being 550 and didn't reach the 1%.
has this happened to anyone else here or is this sign telling me to uninstall the game??

Yes if 550 you lose between 2% and 5% score, on someone lower power, awesome lol. On reset, players at power 10 lol, will be getting 10 million per ad they kill lol. BS event.

"everything is inconsistent" is the real theme bungie made along the way

The scoring system is completely broken. How can you have a fair competition between all guardians when power levels vary so much…u can’t . Then you have players on different platforms, PC players will always achieve higher scores. Take the world first competition, PC always wins and will always win.

14 RepliesSounds like they have the reward pass which gives up to 15% bonus portal score whereas you don’t have the pass for bonus score.

Yep, I'm thinking it's the season pass bonus. Maxing the card out the same as others, and I'm like 300k off their score forecast.

2 RepliesYup it's broken. Me 506 light gets a lower score than both my clan mates who are mid 400 by approx 300,000 despite me getting more kills etc! None of us have season pass. Bungie is just complete inept at this point it's actually laughable now. Well player count is decreasing and if they don't fix this it's going to be going down even further. Absolute joke!

1 ReplyWhat I don’t understand is do the scores for each activity add to your total score for placement or is just the highest score you got for that type of activity? Because I’ve been stuck at 13,060 for zone control and it hasn’t moved at all in days.

I didn’t know how the scoring system worked. So I have ran the events several times since using modifiers but my score never changes! Sucks!!

Might be better to uninstall for your sanity

Oh man. If this is right, they over tuned the bonus for lower light level players. Oh man.

Bungo doesn't comprehend that we want the activity score (highest recorded) to be applied to all on the fireteam Instead of removing PL multiplier they say those of lower PL get a bigger boost Streamers and ytbers have outscored us so highly that it's practically near impossible to get a 1% even less even 10%, every activity bungie picked are garbo activities, specially Heliostat with the way the mission was made, dps boss - > kill chicken to get shield (but champs spawn, major enemies everywhere, banes on cabal dogs, hobs, basic goblins, etc) - > get dunked on by the two unstop champs while you try to kill chicken to not die from radiation wasting revives. That mission was so poorly designed that room is an absolute deathtrap theres no safe zone it's absurd how they thought having a wyvern with boss hp that detains the Psions was a great idea, you have barely much time to kill it once the boss summons the radiation because bjngie coded Vex to have such a long spawn animation

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Bungie just gives up and lets everyone claim all five rewards. This entire thing is unbalanced and a massive headache.

Bungie messed up the scoring for players below 550. They are getting more points. I have had the same issue twice. Running with two people who are less than 550. They both always get more points than me even though I am 550. We all own the season pass.
-
Bungie said they did something to make power level not be involved in scoring. It's -blam!- over the 550's.

I've been farming salt. 8 hrs and the vanguard most wanted hasn't spawned yesterday I was getting every other run?

Edited by GPrime96: 11/17/2025 9:26:44 AMCheeseForever made a video of this, apparently, if you’re 550, you would get overtaken by someone that’s under 550 due to the player under it having a bigger multiplier. I can see why some players have 3.4 million+ with the same effort as a 550 player having 3.3 million
-
So the scoring is broken. Because with all the negative modifiers at 550 shows me I should be getting 270k+ , but when I finish, I barely get 250k, and I still have about 4 to 6min left depending on how smooth the run was. Technically should be 300k when I finish with all that and still have about 5min left
