Get rid of the light stat

No, don't get rid of it

This is gonna be a long post so please stick with me and don't vote till after reading it. Thank you. ^^Remember that video ? It looks like ever since then they gone back on alot that they said. But one thing that really bothers me is this: [quote]You can control how your guardians look[/quote] They said that but once you hit level 20,the way you want your character to look,is [b]COMPLETELY [/b] out of your control. Why? Its because of the light stat. You like that helmet that makes you look cool?well go -blam!- yourself. You gotta switch to this stupid one cause it has 1 more light stat. [b]LIGHT KILLS CUSTOMIZATION [/b] It honestly feels like they came up with this system 2 months before release,as a cheap way to prolong longitivity. Damn man! They didn't even take the time to give us more models!! The vanguard and crucible armors looks exactly the same! Dead orbits,fwc,and new monarchys armor all look the -blam-ing Same! Do all these factions get their armor from the same generic armor guy!? Whats a bigger slap in the face is that after you work for weeks to buy full legendary armor from the vendors and upgrade it fully,you still can't hit that elusive light level 30. And once you realize you need full raid gear to hit level 30,you're gonna flip out when you realize all your work to obtain all that gear from the vendors was in vain. So you gotta do the raid and hope it doesn't give you the same shotgun and scout rifle as a reward [b]3[/b] weeks in a row. You're probably gotta have to make two more characters of the same class and get them to level 26 to up your chances of getting raid gear. And since all raid gear is one model. Eventually everyone is gonna look the same. I guess this is bungie's idea of making our guardians feel unique. By making us one generic group of hunters, one generic group of warlocks,and one generic group of titans. You know whats funny? Bungie isn't the first one to implement a system like this. Lord of The Rings online had a similar system like this called "Radiance" and it functioned jusr like light. Now you may be thinking "well if LOTR online did this,then it must've been a great system for bungie to copy it in their game right?" [b]WRONG. [/b] http://i.massively.joystiq.com/2011/02/15/we-were-wrong-lotro-dev-explains-radiances-failure/ It failed because people were tired of looking the same like every one else. People got tired of tossing out their cool looking gear for ugly gear cause it had more radiance. Problems that the destiny community is facing right now. All in all light is a restrictive system that destroys customization and i would like to see it removed. It could be replaced with a transmuting system that lets us choose how our gear looks and what upgrades you want on it. I want to start a petition to get it removed and i would appreciate any support. I want real customization and for that to happen light has to go. Thank you for your time.

  • Yes, get rid of it. It is a bullshit mechanic. Levels should be done by subclass anyways. Level up to 15 per normal then the extra 15 levels are done by subclass. You shouldn't be forced to grind for hours and hours for gear to level up. You should be grinding for hours and hours to get the gear because it actually DOES something like a status effect you want.

    • The light system is fine there just needs to be more than one way to reach level 30 and more armor customization.

      • I like how Dcuo did it, you can have whatever armor you equipped but change it to LOOK like other armor that you had before. Lots of customization, never saw the same hero/villian 2 times

      • All they need to do is add a transmogrification system like in Diablo. That way everybody is happy.

      • Best solution is make gear more upgradeable. Add special materials to boost it

      • When I am shooting Dregs in the face I don't give two heaping piles of crap about what my guardian looks like. Light is an awesome idea for an above and beyond type of level system. Fashion is for the runway - and even there it's completely irrelevant.

        Seeing so many people in favor of this scares me. This is why Bungie doesn't take us seriously.

      • When I was level 19, my warlock had this helmet with a horn and I thought it was awesome. But it was just a blue and I needed a purple to level up. And then I look around at all the vendors and they are all selling the same stuff with a new coat of paint.

        • Either way, it'll always be a grind to level up.

        • While I mostly agree, it would be easier to add transmog-like system. Removing light removes the reason to get better gear, which would make at least a portion of the playerbase leave from lack of significant reason to play anymore after hitting 20.

        • Eh, they just need to add more digital dollhouse options, not rework the whole game. Let people PICK what they look like from a selection of gear "styles" and have that selection of mix and match looks get larger as you get different levels of gear. Green, Blue, Purple, Yellow. I welcome anything that adds any level of customization.

          • LOTRO also had a system where you equipped whatever armor you wanted to show publicly as a wardrobe for appearances sake and then your actual protective armor and gear could be equipped without changing your appearance. I wish we had that option here!

          • It's a simple fix though add transmogrification like in Diablo 3. For those that don't know what that is, it's the ability to change the look of any item you have to an items physical look if you have already gotten a piece of gear with that model. Real simple and could cost say 5k glimmer to do. This would alleviate everyone looking the same. Also on that note allow us to modify our shaders a bit. Every other game has this ability

              Yes. I remember that old LOTR MMO had a similar systems and the fans hated it because it pretty much killed customization as stated. Eventually it will get to point where everyone will look the same and the only difference being they're exotic armour of choice.

            • So much wrong with this post I don't know where to start.. you realize ALL exotics have the same light level. All legandary armour as the same light level. You can mix and match all of them. Not to even mention different shaders. Let's say for a second they got rid of the light level would you really run around with green or blue armour just because you think it looks cool? Thwre are other stats then light. Blue armour will never be as good as purple or gold, with or without light level. Another thing why are all you ppl crying about raid gear cuz you cant reach the level cap? I need a few pieces to complete my set but I don't use raid armour other then in raids. Why? Cuz I like what my other stuff does better. Plus I would almost grantee the level cap will be raises with each dlc. With new armour. People need to play and fully understand the game before they come on here crying. Never in my life have I seen so much crying I'd be embarrassed if I acted like a bunch of babies the way some of you do.

                • I like the idea with how the light rating is but what I dont like is how its restricting armor cusomization. just becuase this piece of armor has more light rating so now I have to get rid of my awsome looking helmet and wear this awfull looking one. ......sucks.
