The Final Shape expansion introduced changes to how Power works in Destiny 2, and players believe it negatively affects the experience of players who are just learning the endgame content of the game.
In The Final Shape, Destiny 2 added Activity Power Caps to most activities in the game, including raids and dungeons. These caps indicate your maximum effectiveness in an activity, which means you’re stuck at a set power below enemies and can’t overlevel to make your life easier. On top of that, all Standard difficulty endgame activities now have weekly elemental surges. In a Reddit thread on June 18, players agreed these changes are unnecessary because they make the experience more difficult for new players and raiders.
