Remove Most Power Deltas and Negative Modifiers

The recent and planned changes are starting to fix the problems with D2. The biggest problem I still see unaddressed is the power Deltas and negative modifiers. Power Deltas and negative modifiers need to be reduced/completely removed in most activities except for a small amount of endgame activities such as master raids and GM(Top Tier) nightfall. This is another reset/fix to the game back to pre EOF but need to be rolled.back even further. Again remove most deltas and reduce even end game way down. With regards to the general game the portal needs to be removed/repurposed ASAP and I understand that isn't immediately or any time soon but again ASAP. The director basically is Destiny. You can add to it, but NEVER remove/replace it.

    It should be brought down to old Vanguard Ops levels and a simple completition should guarantee a B+. Want A or A+? Slap some modifiers on it - but it shouldnt have to be at Grandmaster level or even NF level for something that we're expected to run over and over again. All in all I just think this shows that Bungie really didnt look at the consequences of the Portal. They probably thought that "well this is ok and challenging" - and it is in a vacuum - without taking into account that this is the content we have to run all the time for progress.

  • Locked loadout for many of the Fireteam activities, in my opinion, should be by choice only. I hate running what used to be the Strike playlist (which is now only a few strikes at best) and finding I have the wrong loadout for that particular activity. True I get through them with no problems. But [b][u]WHERE IS THE PLAY THE WAY YOU WANT[/u][/b]. In all of this Portal stupidity! I'm not one of the people that want Destiny to die. But the Portal, as it is, does indeed need to die, or at the very least be a background choice [i]you [/i]make FROM THE DIRECTOR!!!

    • Why does the freaking Shooting Gallery of all things need a Power Delta?

      • I miss Daybreak. It was the mayhem modifier from crucible but for strikes and nightfalls. Such chaotic fun.

          when you push an entire community to play end game level difficulty to level up when it use to be an option you lose a big core of your everyday players then when you screw over the only ones left grinding out max light with poor drops with crazy requirements you lose the rest should of upgraded the solar system with new gear up to tier4 in the old pinnacle type of chase n made the portal a tier 5 factory for solo harcore and endgamers would be the equivalent of the old artifice armor rewards to the endgame players may not be a perfect solution but better than what we currently have

Remove Banes, Tradeoffs, Champions, and all red/negative modifiers. Then for "hard" content have [b]optional[/b] red/negative modifiers that lower delta.

          • I slowly worked my way up to 450, it took a long time, because it was so boring. Now that I'm there I can be bothered messing about with the Portal doing exactly the same activities again and again. The portal needs to be a secondary tool that we can go to for quick insertion into something, it has utterly failed as a primary immersion UI. Tiers were Interesting, but would fail because they were tied to a ridiculous power grind. The change to armour was interesting as well, but with no vault space and linked to tiers was also going to cause an issue Everything has just been badly considered and. No thought has gone into how Users will I teract with the new systems and they quite clearly didn't do any analysis of how long th grind would take. Very poor planning by the designers.
