Constructive Feedback On The DLC

First of all, from the information given to us in the update on the new DLC the future of Destiny doesn't look very good. Secondly alot of the information was poorly explained and raised more questions than actually answers. I will try and make this post as constructive as possible without venting too much frustration. It would be appreciated if everyone could bump this and leave their own opinions so we can the attention of the notorious community manager. First let's talk about this weapon progression reset. What bungie have proposed is that if we want a higher defence/attack value on our current exotics, we will have to pay Xur to give us that higher attack/defense value but in turn our weapon progression is reset. By this time we all know that this is optional. But common, this is a no brainer. Everyone will have to reset their exotics as they just simply won't be effective in the hard raid. We all know the value of bringing a team to a raid with fully maxed out weapons vs having a few in the group with brand new weapons and as we all know the damage output between a brand new weapon and a fully upgraded one is huge! Who will have time to gain experience for the old exotic weapons plus the new exotics and legendaries. Not everyone has a huge amount of time on their hands. However it is unclear whether you plan to reset it to 260 and the progression tree or keep it at 300 and reset the progression tree. However I think the best solution is to pay Xur to upgrade your weapon. This will add 4 nodes onto the upgrade tree which will raise the attack/defence values and will require xp to upgrade. The last slot will require an exotic shard. The upgrade nodes added would need materials that can only be obtained from the raid and strike. This keeps steady progression in the game and keep us working towards something without disregarding all the work we have done to this point. I'm not too keen on the idea of all the legendary weapons and armour from the vendors being scrapped. They should still be there, the new legendaries weapons and armour should be in a new category. This keeps steady progression in the game. The new armour and weapons can only be purchased once you have reached a specific light level. In this case once you have reached light level 30 then the new items are available to you. If the armour is available to everyone from the get go then that's just a slap in the face for everyone who has been grinding the raid. Some of us would do a whole raid on hard and only get shards and energies. Yes I know the legendary gear will not take us to light level 32 but it will take us to around 30 or 31. Which bypasses doing the VOG raid which is completely out of order. How do these commendations work? Everytime I level up my vanguard or crucible rank do I get 1 commendation? Does that mean everytime I want to buy a new peice of gear or a weapon I have to reach a new rank with the vanguard or crucible?  If so I don't see how that works. By the time I reach a new rank with the vanguard I would have been able to max out my marks at least twice. That means I'm saving my marks up with nothing to use them on. This problem will not really be an issue to me as I will be raiding to get my gear but it could be a huge problem for people who don't raid or just do PVP. I know I'm making assumptions here but that all I can do as the information is vague. The nightfall and weekly heroics are going to be alot harder as the light level required to do them is going to increase. I'm all for this idea but I'm not to keen on scrapping the old ones!! You should introduce a new level for both of these events, just like how story missions have different levels. This game already has a lack of content so adding in a new level will give us more to do. The benefits to doing it on a higher level is that you can only get gear available in the DLC. So if anyone wants the new gear they will have to do it on the higher level. The old nightfall will still be available but you will only get gear that was available at launch. If I do the new nightfall I will still be allowed to get loot from the old one too. Issue way we are able to get exotic shards without dismantling the gear we have become attached to and still be able to upgrade our new gear or our higher leveled old gear. This leads nicely into my next point. Is the only way we can obtain radiant materials through doing the raid? If so how are we going to be able to obtain enough materials to level up weapons and gear? As far as I'm aware there isn't going to be a daily that will give us those materials and the new strikes won't give them to us either (from what we have been told). Please make it so we can obtain them by other means. I'm assuming we can break down new legendary weapons and gear to get them? Also alot of us have a huge amount of ascendant shards and energies. Right now they are useless to us. Maybe create a conversion system that allows us to trade our old materials for tho new ones. Maybe add it to an already existing vendor or create a new one. For example every faction leader (FWC, DO, NM) will give you the option to trade 2 ascendant shards for 1 radiant shard. I think half is a fair conversion rate. I hope this post was constructive and I look forward to hearing everyone's opinions.
