hate random armor drops by playing the Raid, everything else already have...
How can player wear what they want and still be level 30?
As it stands the only way to reach lvl 30 is to have 4 peices of armor with 30 light each. As exotics can reach 30 light the rest of the armor must be obtained through random armor drops by playing the Raid, everything else is worthless. I believe this is not the best way to reach lvl 30 because it completley ruins the entire armor system.
First, it makes every other legendary armor obsolete because regular armor caps at 27 light.
Playing on your lvl 30 and just got a sweet legendary drop? oh it's a legendary armor engram? No way it reloads auto rifles quicker? Well, dismantled.
Secondly, it prevents players from customizing their characters to their play style by making default characters with all the same armor perks.
Want your lvl 30 character to specialize in hand cannons by being able to reload them quicker and hold more ammo for them? Too bad you get to reload special weapons faster and hold more heavy ammo like everyone else!
And what happens when they raise the level cap? Will all the armor currently in the game become useless?
Well I might have a solution for that.
Bungie could add a random drop from the raid called a "VOG Seal" or something. What this does is you can apply it to any piece of legendary armor and it unlocks another progression sphere on that armor to be leveled up and increase it's light to 30.
Now any and all legendary armor is now useful.
Obviously there will be some limitations like, it can only be applied to a piece of armor once, cannot be applied to armor that already has a max light cap of 30, etc...
The same concept can be applied to the new raid and dlc coming out. With this I think everyone wins.
Players can use which armor they want but still be required to play the raids.
Problem: Raid Armor,
- Is the only way to reach lvl 30.
- Makes every other armor obsolete.
- Ruins character customization by having everyone be a default lvl 30 character.
Solution:
- Add a random drop for a "raid seal" which can be applied to any legendary armor to increase it's light
Thoughts?
-
They are aware if this and the solution is go play the new IB when it is out

Makes sense, to bad we're playing facebook-halo.

You are actually right..

11 RepliesI'm a 24...stuck here because I loathe Crucible...loathe those idiot small map, windy corridor, fast reaction shoot'em ups that penalise guys like me with slower web speed...but all flashy armour requires crucible marks...blah blah...Bungie should have made the PvP side optional, not core to advancement...

35 RepliesExotics mean nothing in multiplayer and it pisses me off Im out shot by a Shingen-E from a snipers range and I have a patience and time
-
The seal idea is definitely viable
-
EXTOIC don't change it, leave it like that, be lazy like a game developer
-
great just what we need, more randomness in a game of inconsistencies. Thats not how they envisioned the game would be played that way. If you beat it quick then they couldn't artifically extend the game and keep you hanging around just so you buy the next expansion, which looks way light for the price.

Need 3 4 normal raid start msg only jokerr

I agree. It does restrict customization in current state. I'm surprised there's no ability to color the armor the way you want. played war frame briefly before destiny and they had a neat color mod system.

2 RepliesDafuq's an "extoic"? Your title needs work, friend.
-
I think this is a brilliant idea

1 ReplyFor an rpg customization is extremely lacking.

Exotic armor isn't useless. DON'T see how this effect your point. I agree that regular legendarys are useless, and that is messed up. How long it takes to get them, and they aren't the best. If that is the case, what is the point of upgrading anything but legendary?
-
I agree that it sucks that the only way to reach 30 is to raid. Haven't done the raid yet in its entirety and I simply can't sit down long enough to do it in one sitting so that's not an option. They should have implemented a different kind of pve end game gear for people that can't/don't want to raid. Introducing a crucible gear to help reach 30 is a good step but they need to take it further in the pve area of the game. Or I'll just stay at 28 forever, I don't care really.
-
Yeah and lets say people get Destiny in a few years time, like 2 years from now. They will have to play VOG to get to 30 then the HIVE raid to get to 32 and then the Fallen raid and so on and so forth, but by then will people be still playing VOG and the dark below? Or will they have it so you don't have to play VOG to get to 30 because if you play the HIVE raid the gear gets you to 32. That would mean no one would be playing the VOG anymore. They need to sort this out
-
Iron Banner is going to offer two pieces of light 30 gear. However, you would still need one piece of raid gear to hit 30. All that being said, and all that you said...how does this make exotics useless? Besides hitting the cap...what's the point in being level 30?
-
Well if you didn't know... Raid armor CAN roll different attributes, so not everyone is running around with the same spec gear. I have 3 pairs of raid boots that all have different specs to them. If your a PvP player then light level doesn't even matter so you can also min/max the stats to your liking with your non raid legendary gear. I do understand the feelings of everyone looking the same so I too would like to see some more diversity in the max level gear.
-
A nice solution, to be sure!! Hope they take this idea to heart.

Spelling has worth

4 RepliesThere's currently item speculation around a few consumables that would do just that, except they're for exotic weapons and armor. Problem: People want 30 without raiding. Solution: There's no point in getting 30 unless you raid.
-
3 RepliesHonestly, this will not matter soon. With the next raid's release, the level cap will increase and people will need a new set of armor to reach 32. The leveling system in general is all fcked up. If they were smart, they would increase the base level, and leave the light system alone. But they won't, because the grindy aspects of obtaining the raid gear, and then leveling it, in Bungie's minds, holds peoples attention. Unfortunately, Bungie is oblivious to the fact that MCC will eb out in a couple of weeks, and many of us are going to forget all about the scam once called "Destiny"...
-
great idea about that "raid seal" also instead of Xur selling useless sparrow upgrades give us armor upgrade/ light.
-
I like someone who thinks like you do. Bravo!

4 RepliesAs a avid player and participate in raids, I have to say I agree completely with this idea. Before you bash me, hear me out. I have a level 28 Warlock, and I think he looks amazing, (my psn is the same as my name, check me out of you'd like) but the fact of the matter is, at the end of the day if I want to reach level 30 I have to sacrifice not only my play style, but the personalization of my character. I love my helmet, I do not like the warlocks raid helmet! I like my boidfang vestment because it's classy and put together; I do not like the tattered and raggy look of the warlock chest piece. I could go on and on but the fact of the matter is this guy brings up a valid point and a great idea. To add on don't pretend you don't think it's a little silly that almost all of the raid armor props only help you IN THE RAID (correct me if I'm wrong) but that's dumb to someone like me who loves the crucible. I like that my vest lets me re spawn with grenades and such. Bump this if you're a supporter of this idea. I would absolutely love a way to level my current armor to 30 besides raid. Even if it means you get the seals from the raid, or it's as rare a chance to get as getting a exotic from a rare engram, I would love it and it would give me personally a reason to continue putting hours into the game and playing raids. I hope bungie already has plans like these implemented and this guy here is just insightful.
