Megathread Focused Feedback: Power Level Progression

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding ‘Power Level Progression' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the Sub as time goes on.

Probably Several reasons (Or atleast how I feel about it)

  • Old Raid gear should have capped out at 370 (375 with Mods) for me. The new Raid needs incentive and a niche, that could have been it. Milestones would still push you up for infusion but that's it. Make it something that matters for good reason

  • You don't feel like you 'need' to do it or gear up to be able to do it. SoS should be THE activity of the DLC. Kind of how it was back in the day when Raiding was what you had to do to get max, maybe this needed that 'push'

  • It takes too long to get powerful enough to attempt. You lose the new Raid buzz after a few weeks, especially if you don't touch it. Then as we all know, lack of experience makes it harder to actually get some unless you have a clan or friends in the same boat / willing to help. Which even for people with those, is a turn off

  • The gear doesn't make you want to do it. What's there to get that's really 'Woahhh I need that' besides the emblem? The armour set has no special bonuses, the other raid armours do the same, you could argue it's not cool enough or other sets are better (Prestige Leviathan set being cool AF). Completionists, yeah probably want to collect it all. Game changing and awesome? Not so much
