Not worse, just different. (Destiny)

The problem is this part:

...when an engram drops in Destiny 2, it decides its power at the time it drops.

which means that the odds don't get pushed up with each decryption since the power level range that they're able to decrypt at is determined when the engram drops. Your last engram will have the same window of power levels that it can decrypt at as your first one did, even if your first nine all decrypted at the highest possible levels.

Ok. I get that. I think you missed something through. The power level is the minimum! power level.

If Engrams set their power at the moment they drop, how am I supposed to know which ones have the best gear?

Daniel: Destiny 2's Engrams are pretty cool, because they'll tell you right on the tooltip what the power they dropped at is. This is the minimum power that will come out of the engram.

How large is that range? I guess we'll find out.

Also, I didn't pay much attention to that picture, but I don't like what I see there, either. Max 10 engrams on your Guardian at one time (which I assume means a MUCH lower drop rate), and as far as we can tell, it's not item specific. So maybe it's a hand cannon, maybe it's that helmet you need, or maybe it's your 11th class item.

Yea. As noted, 10 does seem abit small. We'll see hands on.

I should say, though, I'm still REALLY excited to jump into the game Tuesday night. I'm just disappointed that it's looking like the system is specifically designed to prevent us from progressing to raid-ready levels naturally by just playing through the game instead of having to game the system. Who knows, though. Maybe we'll find out that none of this matters and there are pieces to the system that we don't know about yet that make everything work.
