So, here's my deal along with some friends I play with. Before this season and last update on Tuesday, Powerful engrams/rewards like daily's, weekly, strikes, daily missions and Flashpoints were dropping at about +2 or +3 above your power. Petra would drop a little higher, Ada-1 dropped higher, and so did NF. But now, EVERYTHING is dropping at +1 or 0 for me. Primes and exotics are the only ones to drop at about +5 to +7. I thought they said this was fixed in the patch notes or did I miss something. Thank god we have new pinnacle weapon bounties and Thorn now, because raids and milestones are pointless.
Someone on a FB group said that your allegiance decision will effect a lot of things. One is, If you pick Drifter, your Vanguard power engrams will drop lower but your gambit stuff will drop higher. But I know this is a lie because I'm Drifter on my Hunter and Vanguard on my Warlock and it's still dropping shit power increases on both. Am I the only one?

It’s not as much a problem with the +1 stuff as the primes dropping in the same category as your last high piece over and over. Maybe 1/3 drops are “good” and the others magically seem to drop on the item you have high - so in effect no advancement. I swear Bungie RNG is programmed to look at what you DON’T need and weight the drop to fall there at least 50/50. Maybe 66/33. How else do you get the gauntlets over and over on multiple characters ( as An example)
