A Big Thanks for the Solstice Boost......For Some
I watched a video yesterday regarding how the Solstice event is handing out "super rewards", i.e. tier 5 armour and weapons.
Great, I thought.
But then, the catch.....
[b]IF [/b]you have hit level 400, [b]IF [/b]you are at guardian rank 9, [b]IF [/b]you are able to grind this game 12 hours a day, 7 days a week on an industrial scale......then there might be something to get excited about.
I'm currently sitting at power level 232, guardian rank 6 and I've played [i]every [/i]day since this abomination launched.
There are some guardians who just cannot do this and it seems that Bungie are rubbing salt in the wounds of those who have families and full time work commitments.
When they said they would reward players for their playtime, they didn't say it only applied to streamers and the top few percentage of elites who play Destiny for a living.
It's like giving millionaires the winning lottery numbers AND paying for their tickets.

Edited by jhermannITJ: 8/6/2025 11:51:14 PMThen how was I getting Tier 5s under 400? How was I getting tier 5s at rank 8. I made 400 in probably about 50 hrs over 3 weeks and one day. My longest sessions were I played for about 6 hrs last night and 6 hrs last Saturday going from 315 to 375 last week in total. And one night I did the whole legendary campaign in one sitting minus the last 2 missions on my second character... which took about 6 hrs. I probably have 20 hrs in the campaign and on Kepler... So that's 30-40 hrs to hit 400. Because the campaigns did not level me. Until yesterday I never played Caldera once. I've still only played Encore 3 times. The solo Ops I repeated most was Conflux... and it wasn't optimal or as good as mixing things up. Something I tested again yesterday with Caldera... my progress was slow until I started targeting slots again... then I easily made 400. Then I blued up my other characters, I did use the armor quest on my Hunter... but both my W&T still have to do it... meaning at least 10 primes off the bat...not 100% on that, but I heard those drops level post 400. Thems the deets, an overview of my easy grind to 400. 😇👍💠
