VOG, Queens Wrath & Iron Banner weapons become obsolete post expansion!

So I've just finished reading the 'The Dark Below Preview' posted 3rd December & 3 Quotes stood out to me. 1. [quote]New Legendary gear will feature higher Attack and Defense values[/quote] 2. [quote]This new, more powerful gear will be available to all players of Destiny[/quote] 3. [quote]Legendary gear will not be as powerful as new Raid gear or Exotics [/quote] Okay, so from the above quotes I can deduce that the Crucible & Vanguard Vendors will replace their current armoury with weapons which will feature higher max ATTACK stats than the current max which is 300. However, this gear will not be as powerful as NEW Raid (Crota's End) weapons which I assume will have a max ATTACK of 323 based on the Vex Mythoclast buff. So where does this leave VOG weapons i.e. Vision of Confluence, Atheon's Epilogue, Fatebringer etc? Imagine a situation where the people who were lucky enough to earn a 'Fatebringer' as an RNG drop by investing several hours conquering the level 30 VOG Raid on Hard are met with a predicament where the basic Crucible/Vanguard Vendor is selling non-Raid hand cannon's that all possess higher ATTACK potential. Also, where would this leave the event exclusives like The Queen's Wrath: Supremacy or The Iron Banner: Jolder's Hammer? Would these weapons also become inferior to the legendary gear being sold on earth post expansion? Two weeks ago I invested over 50 motes of light reforging my Iron Banner Armoury, was this all for nothing? This would not only be unfairly punishing to those who invested the time and effort into getting the most out of each Event/Raid, it would also make no sense... no sense at all. POSSIBLE SOLUTION Similar to the Vex Mythoclast buff, the VOG Raid, Queen's Wrath & Iron Banner Event weapons should receive an ATTACK stats increase which would bring it (at a minimum) in line with the new Legendaries that will be available for purchase on Earth post expansion. Make this a reality Bungie!

  • I swear not so long ago bungie said you can upgrade your legendaries and exotics, so to be able to keep you favourite gear and generating a wider variety. Now it just seems to focus on exotics. The problem with that is there isnt a whole bunch of legendaries to replace the current ones so variety will be further limited. Yeah we got faction stuff coming bit I figure itd be the same stuff better levels. We Should be able to do to legendaries exactly what we can do with exotics. Specifically guns, as im assuming raid armour may get us to 31 and well the other armour I dont mind replacing. I finally got voc last week and been working on levelling it up but now with current legendaries seemingly becoming redundant its kind of like well whats the point :(

    • In reality your Legendary weapons are only obsolete for the hard raid.. you can still use your Fatebringer in strikes and whatever else.. even at level 30.. We use our current legendary weapons in the VoG on hard.. so what's to say we can't use them to some degree of effectiveness in the level 30 Dark Below raid. We all have over a month to upgrade our weapons stash via upgrading exotics and acquiring new legendary weapons via RNG or the Vendors in the Tower before the level 33 raid is available. Does this sound unreasonable?

        this is what mmo expansions do.. new gear comes in.. old gear goes out.. simple as that.. most people (even the ones bitching about it the most) will still strive for newer, better, gear.. that's the point.. so you keep playing. Also, the new stuff will supposedly get you to light level 30.. you want to complain about that too?

        • Reality is they probably won't. Bungie saw that the exotics were being outclassed by other legendaries. I'm glad they finally made all exotics stand out, as exotics should.

          • ...........You do realize that event equipment will most likely be scaled to the current levels every time they show up?

            • If they they gave my VoC a final upgradable circle that you needed an exotic shard to complete, that would be the first thing I did. Hell I'd do a full reset and a shard if I had to. I love that gun and have grown accustomed to using in in almost every situation.

              • same here! i have waited a looooong time to get the fatebringer (and i love this gun)! and now, after maybe one month the weapon is "out of date" because the new weapons deal more dmg? pls give us the chance to update legendary weapons too! (sorry for the terrible english)

                • Sadly, it looks like that may be true. However, it's VERY common in most RPGS.. In WOW, when new expansions come out, people replace end game legendaries with GREENS in the new expansion, yes, I'm quite serious. I think it woudl work best if they released a new level 32 raid for VOG where we can get uprade materials for the VOG weapons
