Fuck just realized something. The next expansion for Destiny is going to be endgame content from what I can tell. This makes me wonder what they're gunna do for level requirements. It's probably going to have a requirement of at least 700, maybe 760 even. Which considering the amount of endgame activities not a tough goal. Just so long as you have every other expansion. If you don't good fucking luck! The soft cap is 500 so you got 200-260 levels to jump with a handful of activities.
I really hope they don't do it like that. Or if they do add the catch up bounties like the did for the current seasons. I'm mixed on the catch up bounties but they're a much better option than just leaving players out in the cold while everyone else engages with the current season.
@fillertrack my issue with the catch-up bounties is that (afaik) nothing in the game explains that you need to hold onto high-power equipment to raise your drop-power. Like I only heard about that through community meta. Honestly they should just add more levels to the game, i honestly don't know why they haven't. It's made progression real weird.
@Shadejackrabbit weirdly this was kinda not a problem with D1. In D1 your drops were based on EQUIPPED gear. So naturally you would stick to using and infusing higher gear even not knowing that. Ofc this led to people shuffling gear to raise their level as high as possible before seeing the cryptarch just to get a higher level item. Also the level cap was MUCH lower in D1 with every expansion.
