Why is the only way to get Grandmaster ready through the bonus power levels?
I am at 1338 power.
All of my gear is 1320.
In order to raise my power up further, I need to just get XP. Just any XP.
So gear alone doesn't bring you close to the Grandmaster (or Master raid) level.
Now I need to mindlessly grind bounties and run old content until I am bored to death and raise that power level up once or twice after an entire week.
I need 700K. I just ran a gambit match and one strike. I got 25K after both of those. I NEED 700k!
Is this a joke?
This is what the game has turned into now? Gear doesn't get you to max level, or near max level? Now we have to mindlessly grind XP for hours and hours and raise this bonus power level in order to do the end game content?
What the hell happened?
This doesn't make me grind more. That is as boring as this boring ass game gets. This makes me quit and play other games.
Good job Bungie.

I feel like most people completely missed the point. Op is saying they dont like that to do end game content they 100% have to grind for xp instead of opting to do harder content for higher power level.

4 RepliesThe mode exists for those people who do grind incessantly, as a reward for their doggedness. If that grind isn’t your thing, then neither are GMs.

7 RepliesGrandmasters are not out right away. It takes 4 or 5 weeks for them to come out each season. That's the timeline you have to see what the requirements are and the timeline you have to get ready.

10 RepliesEdited by kellygreen45: 7/29/2021 7:17:34 PMWhy? Time-gating and restricting access. I think Datto got this one right. Bungie doesn't have any way of restricting access to content based on skill level. Because they don't have any reliable way of determining how "good" you are in PVE content. So they restrict it based on how much TIME you've invested in the game, since the more time you play the more likely you are to be good. Don't get me wrong. Its a BLUNT instrument...and not a very good indicator of skill. But I can see the predicament from Bungie's point of view.

2 RepliesEdited by Hawpy: 7/29/2021 11:27:46 AMAnother post made by someone who doesn't fully understand how levels work. Grandmaster Nightfalls have the Contest modifier on, which caps everyone's level at 1335 (in the context of this season). Given that you also [i]need[/i] to be 1335 to enter the activity, the minimum level is also the maximum. There is no benefit to being 1360 in a Grandmaster because it won't do anything for you. You were Grandmaster ready 3 levels ago. For Master VoG, and any future Master Raids/Dungeons, players seem to have forgotten the concept of being underlevelled. Hard Mode VoG was 2 levels above the cap, back in the day. Hard Mode Crota was the same and Skolas was 1 level above. In that era, it wasn't even possible to be at level for those activities when they were the latest release. If you can do a Nightfall at Master or GM while underlevelled, then you can do Master VoG all the same.

They need to retain the people with excessive time somehow....... But hey if there's people salivating at the mouth for an Adept weapon that literally is only different by name.....who am I to judge. Just saying. You can do Master / Legend for less of a headache and less time being wasted. For the same ends.

5 RepliesI hate that you have to grind season pass levels to do the GM. I think pinnacle power should be the cap and you can achieve this either through gear, season pass or a mix of both. Then, just use contest mode to drop your guardian to whatever light Bungie wants us running the GM. It is not skilful grinding bounties.
-
14 RepliesFor GMs it doesnt matter one bit. Youre locked to 1335.
-
10 RepliesYou’re 1338. GMs cap you at 1335. What are you complaining about
-
Level does not matter in GM. Min level of 1335 is same as 1800, because grandmaster puts everyone at disadvantage (contest modifier).
-
1335 is max cap for gm so your there and you can master vog but will be killed alot
-
Honestly for GM they should just throw on the day one contender light level cap and add more champs
-
OP creates “GM be 1340+” fireteams
-
Anyone knows that grandmaster people are capped at 1335?
-
3 Replies“You aren’t allowed to be on par with this contents difficulty” is probably the laziest way to make things artificially challenging.
-
A) Like others have said. It locks you 25 below, so anything over that doesn't matter. B) Grandmaster strikes are endgame content. They're meant for players that hit max power + 20 from the artifact 6 weeks ago. C) Seasonal max power - without the artifact bonus - is usually enough for the majority of content in the game. The artifact bonus is meant to give you an artificial boost so you can gain access to activities faster than you could with pinnacle awards alone. So if anything, it's worked exactly as intended.

massive oooof, bet you feel silly now don't cha
-
You only need 1335 for grandmaster
-
The seasonal challenges are your best way to level up. Most you get done by doing the seasonal content. "If you're free to play, bounties away!"
-
I do gms at 1339
-
Game has turned into bounty grind that’s it. Pretty lame. Bounties aren’t content
-
4 RepliesIts literally the easiest thing on the planet. Go into PVP, Grab PVP bounties Go into Strikes, Grab Vanguard bounties Always grab Gun Smith bounties I'm 1342 just literally playing the game.

24 RepliesI'm not understanding how people get their gear to 1320 before they get +20 on the artifact. You must have been playing something.
-
don't bother grinding more, gms have contest on so you're always gonna be locked 25 light under
-
at 1335 you’re as good as you can get power wise for gms. master vog? proceed to complain. but gms are permanent conquest modifier
