Destiny 2 [PS4/XBONE/PC/STD] - Year 2, Season 7, Season of Opulence

[Serra]

The way I understand it, progression now has multiple soft caps (not actually the best word, but it is the term the community is gravitating towards). The first and most obvious one is 500 which you will hit from blue drops just doing the campaign. After that, you have to start looking at powerful rewards. Things like the flashpoint, crucible, and gambit will give you large increases as you work your way to 520. Once you hit 520, those drops will only be +1 above your current light level (and not helpful if it is for a piece that is already higher than your current light level). At that point, activities like the Nightfall at 540 and high level activities in the dreaming city will give the largest increases. The blind well on its own is not going to give you any powerful rewards, but some of the bounties Petra offers will. Essentially, if the activity is higher than your current level, it will give you large increases. If you're over the activity's level, the powerful reward will reflect that. As ever, if the reset is approaching, throw all this out the window and knock out everything you can.

I had a lot of success playing crucible last week as every rank up gave a powerful reward (now that I'm over 520, I'm not seeing those same returns -- although maybe that's cause I've done one reset already..?). Also worked to ensure I got my prime engram each day.

This came up briefly last night, but I wanted to gauge interest in putting a raid team together for Last Wish when it releases on Friday. From what I've seen, the recommended power is going to be 550, you'll need to be 520 or 530 to enter, and there are a lot of people expecting the final encounter will go to 580 (although there are some who think the final encounter will only go up to 560). I'll definitely be on, so gonna be grinding all week to get my hunter as high as possible.

I'm not sure what time I'm going to get away from work Friday yet. But I'm hoping to be 530 by then (if I'm lucky)

I should be around and am currently 520. Should be able to get a bit higher before then.

So looks like I have a meeting at 11am Friday about one to one and half hours from home. Assuming that meeting is 2 hours long, I should be home about 1.5 hours after raid drops.

It always seems dead when I am on. Used to log in and there would be at least one party to join in for chat, even if activities were full. Haven't seen one yet.

Finally finished campaign and got into dreaming city. This is a pretty good expansion. Feels like there is plenty to do.

Wish I could actually do something with BG. Unfortunately, my time zone is way out there.

Ps4, usually around 8 or 9 PM central.

It just seems much quieter than before.

Last night there was a page and a half clan list until about 11pm central on PS4.

[Greedouw]

got a 510 Nameless Midnight w/o explosive rounds. SAD

Also, played a few rounds of Gambit. Ya, getting smoked by Sleeper is making the Ace of Spades quest really frustrating (I'm really not that great at PVP)

Got a Lord of Wolves after my fifth bounty this week. I haven't tried it out, but it looks beastly.

Gonna be smashing my face into two blood cleavers and one combustion guy first thing when I get on today, if anyone needs them and would like to join.

Need to do one more combustion before the end of the night too..
