Before Edge of fate power levels did next to nothing, now it actually does something. It makes you stronger and take less damage, when playing an activity with a lower power level. A thing that we have always wanted. Whilst this issue has been resolved, the issue now is that the entire game revolves around you powering up. Your only objective now is to reach max power and nothing else. It is so bad that if you are not actively chasing powers, you are wasting your time. The thing that makes this as bad as it is, is because of the new gameplay direction that Bungie has made. Replaying the same mission over and over again just for the change of a 1+ item, is tiring and boring. Before EoF i could play this game for hours, now it is hard to even play it for 30min. All of this for what ? so that i can play the exact same activity but on a higher difficulty ? Congrats you made power mean something, now the next goal should be to make the activities mean something.
