I don't know if anyone else has raise this but the "Bungie Day" page: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/46038/7_Happy-Bungie-Day features concept art of a parade in the tower and also cosplay reference images of "Parade Armor" for all three classes. As this is the same armor you see the Titan in during the “Our Darkest Hour” E3 Trailer when Ghaul takes away your light, the parade and the armor might explain why you are not carrying your D1 gear at the start of D2. As the Cabal attack in the evening, all our guardians are all dressed in their formal parade armor, with no guns, at a post parade event. Just seems to make sense as Bungie had to find a way to explain why our guardians don't have a single piece of their gear on them at the start of D2 and everyone starts with the same class armors. Anyway thoughts anyone...
