TWiD - Power Clarification
Reaching out here to see if a Bungie CM/Dev can clarify a few points on the power bands / power enabled activities.
A lot of the points were pretty familiar (IE: New power caps, and story/patrols being power disabled), however there was some confusing language in the second half that makes me question if all that is happening is a communication of the increased levels, or if the "effective power" / deltas from this year is being reverted.
On one hand, it was stated that existing tuning would not change (Makes it seem that nothing is happening here), but on the other hand it was also stated that the goal is to make the ongoing power climb feel important (Which makes it seem like a partial/full revert is coming).
For example, assuming a player achieves the pinnacle cap (2000), if that player enters a Master activity at +10 power (Adjusted 2010), will that player be on parity with the combatants, or are we still going to be effectively -20 to these combatants? Any further clarification here would be appreciated, a lot of my friends were turned away from the game by "effective power" this year and I would like to know if this is being reverted or not.

Nothing changes from current in the player deltas. The chart in the TWID displays power cap, which means you (the player) can enter below that, but it will be at a more difficult threshold. Based on the information provided today, when you select an activity in the Final Shape, they will have the activity listed as follows when you select the activity : - Expert (Previous Legend) Power Cap : 2005, Activity Power Level : 2020 - Master Power Cap 2010, Activity Power Level 2030 - Grandmaster Power Cap 2020, Activity Power Level 2045 Both of these numbers are currently in the game if you inspect the modifiers. It's just called "Maximum Effective Level" instead of what Bungie is updating it to "Activity Power Cap".
