Something is wrong with the difficulty of portal activities.
On TWID on 9/25 you said this:
"We are trading this aspect of the system for a more consistent combatant Power experience as you earn new tiers of gear to grow stronger, more freedom to select the mods you want for the grades you’re targeting, and decreased difficulty across the mid to high difficulty levels. This will notably result in easier activities when playing Master, Grandmaster, and Ultimate.
Here is the list of delta caps after Update 9.1.5.1:
Normal Difficulty Delta Cap: 0
Advanced: -10
Expert: -15
Master: -20
Grandmaster: -25
Ultimate: -30"
But after today's update, the difficulties of matchmaking activities are far above that:
Expert: -20
Master: -30
Grandmaster: -40
Ultimate: -50"
Making all matches impossible to play and survive, we want fun and not exaggerated suffering.

I'm 340 or something and i went to do grandmaster difficulty and I couldn't get an A grade without challenge modifiers...
-
I agree with this. Everything feels excruciatingly harder for no reason and it’s because the power handicaps for all portal activities are way off. The game is already taking a hit because of ridiculous power leveling systems and now this? WTF?
-
All of a sudden getting destroyed in Expedition Cosmodrome and barrier champs very hard to stun, everyone quitting. Wtf bungie, what did you screw up this time?
-
Just Bungie's way of saying screw you to us, they go back on the power level reset but then make the portal activities hell. They seem to love nothing more than screwing us over and over.

1 ReplyIf what you say is true with the delta being changed from -40 to -50 (idk bc I don't use MM therefore I make my own power difficulty so this is a you problem) might be that way to funnel the idiots like you into this week's event in [b]crucible[/b]. Since you love MM so much and are too incapable to customize your own pve modifiers, the obvious answer is play crucible where there is no delta or (for lack of better words) unpleasant modifiers. [quote]Speeding Up the Power Climb We’re speeding up the Power climb across the board when [u]Update 9.1.5.1[/u] [b][u][i]launches on October 14.[/i][/u][/b] These changes will focus on Solo Ops, Fireteam Ops, and Pinnacle Ops; we will work to make similar changes for Crucible Ops and The Desert Perpetual raid in a later patch.[/quote] You forgot the "when" part of the delta changes so here you go.

I was wondering why Court on GM felt so difficult.

1 ReplyI did the glass way on grandmaster with randoms. Apparently I’m the only able to break certain champions. Then we got hit with 3 at once during the boss fight. In MM. holy moly

2 RepliesWhat? I'm still able to match or exceed activity power if I choose to do so. The deltas are not in place yet 🤦♂️

1 ReplyWe just had 9.1.5 not 9.1.5.1 - that is next week.

Edited by Jvp WReNCh: 10/8/2025 1:00:03 AMLooks like it was a typo. -40 in EoF feels how -25 felt in TFS.

Yeah it’s definitely not easier :)
