Are powerful rewards still a problem for anyone else?
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?

Some of the real early stuff went at just +1 for me for a short while but that seemed to jump up once I got going, around 550 - 560, then it started to average at maybe around +4 / +5. I do think if you happen to have one piece that's very below the average of the others, that may affect it, too -- I was testing out some old Exotics to see if I wanted to upgrade them and put them into rotation and that seemed to make things drop lower until I upgraded it and got it within average range of my other pieces. I've had Primes go as high as +12. With Gambit / Crucible, if you're on the losing side, it seems to drop noticeably lower on average than if you win. I think Fireteam medallions make a difference, as well, both in higher numbers and more frequent Primes.
