Significant changes ahead in 2 ways.
1) How harder the enemies will be
2) How much your light level can increase when May update/DLC2 drops
Enemies will now be going up to level 50, 10 levels higher than they do now. They are reintroducing harder enemies in certain sections which means we'll see the ?? Symbols if you are too level for them.
The objective is to bring a higher challenge across the board. Exactly what it needs.
The Power level you can go to will now be:
340 soft cap
380 hard cap
Weekly milestones will be the way to go to bring up to 380. Also, moving from 370 to 380 will take just as long as 340 to 370 - trying to add the grind and achievement back into the game.
Clan engrams will help (0-2 power level increase) but it will be more about your own efforts. The wider challenges you complete the greater the reward.
All in all really good change. The top level (385 with mods) is a larger increase than expected. Higher rewards come from Raids and Trials but doing everything pays off too. The balance seems to be getting better with each update.
How do you guys feel about this? We'll also have another raid lair available too.
