Grind to 500? Yeah im not doing that
Idea was put forward by a marketing bro to force player numbers. Nobody who plays games for fun thought of that.

I think it'll dawn on them after the studio is shuttered. I mean... Marathon isn't saving anything. It's will be a sink. Washing time and $$ down the drain. Destiny is in a death- spiral. So episodes was a disaster. This no season- season, isn't it. How long Bungie? Is it three months? Five months? Lay- off all non- game devs... Rely on Sony's personnel. Focus all efforts on making a game that's fun to play. Go dark. Do it Have a Grand Re- opening! Maybe you can salvage this thing with some real tactics.... But,, this band aids remedies while the studio is bleeding out... Is stupid. I'm available, you got my email. Bungie, it's time to get real. You are going to lose it all and as far as your very dedicated player base can tell- you got nothing. You've been pitching nothing for a while now. Selling nothing. Hawking nothing. Shut the doors. It would be more respectful to the Guardians who can still recall what this game once was.

16 RepliesNo need to either. I didn't get to 450 last season, and i didn't lose out on anything. Got all Conquests done anyways. And that is all Power does, it just allows you to do a higher difficulty.

Edited by Racket UK: 9/26/2025 2:05:21 PMYes there's no point in getting to 500, I'm 516 , and getting rewards that are at my level 90% of the time or 3 less, and enemies +40 power, with insane damage against you like 66.6% void and 25% solar. I can farm ultimate for 12 hours and go up 2 levels, bungie is a ripoff company, and 100% liars.

Totally agree. I quit the game after being a D1 day 1 veteran due to these changes. I wouldn’t care if it was some arbitrary number but they tied loot tiers to it so it’s now pointless doing any end game activity unless you grind solo ops for hundreds of hours beforehand. They’ve tried to make a model that reduces development costs, increases play time and maximises micro transactions. It’s too much for me.

2 RepliesAt this point, Bungie needs to just revert the Power Level to pre-EoF. Nobody enjoys the current system, and Bungie is taking their time in making it more bearable. This should be at the top of their priority list, nothing else.

2 RepliesThey certainly affected player numbers. Just in the wrong direction.

As someone who’s put way too many hours into this game. I refuse to grind power for the sake of grinding power. I’m under 300, i think 240ish and have zero ambition to play. Not going at it.
-
1 ReplyI'm 440ish - all I'm trying to do is get to 450 for more chances at T5 loot. The closer I get, the further away it feels. I'm just grinding my teeth at this point.
-
4 RepliesI just hit 425, and I ain't gonna' bother trying for it. The pinnacle spike is so unbelievably bad. Yeah, let me waste my time doing high end content just to have a +1/2 increase.
-
No reason to. This is a video game, not a job.
-
I got to 400 playing one, or two days a week ... that's all I can stomach, because this game is so -blam!- boring.
-
I don't blame you; I have no intention of doing it either.
-
You got this! You’re almost at 400. 🥳

Forever 10 😎
