While plotting out The Dark Below, which raises the game’s level cap from 30 to 32, Bungie’s designers had a problem. Before the expansion pack, players could only hit level 30 by traversing Destiny‘s first raid, The Vault of Glass, where they could snag rare gear that would boost them up to the cap. But Bungie undoubtedly didn’t want to force everyone to fight through the Vault — which can be excruciating if you don’t have a good team of six — just to access the new level-30 raid and high-level story missions. They didn’t want to gate off their new content. So with The Dark Below, Bungie added new gear to standard shops in the game’s main city. With that armour, you can get all the way up to level 31. In other words, all that old raid gear that players had been collecting and levelling was suddenly rendered obsolete. This was a painful realisation for many Destiny addicts, myself included. I had spent the past few months grinding through the Vault of Glass every week in an attempt to hit 30, yet suddenly, that gear was totally useless compared to the stuff I could buy at the goddamned store. As soon as The Dark Below launched, I felt cheated. Screwed over. I had devoted dozens and dozens of hours to Destiny and this was how it repaid me? I had completed the game’s most challenging trials, yet now, in order to make progress, I’d have to go grind marks until I could afford the store’s new gear? Come on. So what’s to stop that from happening again? In a few months, Bungie will release Destiny‘s second expansion pack, The House of Wolves. Assuming they raise the level cap again, will all of that new Crota’s End gear become immediately worthless? Why are we wasting our time levelling up new armour if it’s just going to be “refreshed” every few months? Granted, all of the biggest MMORPGs are regularly updated with new expansion packs and DLC that renders older gear obsolete. The key difference: in those MMORPGs, your level is independent of your gear. You can go do high-level raids and compete for elite equipment knowing that your character’s level won’t be affected by the drops you get. You can feel like you’re making progress in the game through multiple paths, not just based on what type of gear you have. And you can get new levels without replacing that one helmet you really love from Molten Core. You don’t need new gear to progress. Perhaps most importantly, most MMORPGS don’t get paradigm-shifting expansions every three months. With Bungie frequently moving these goal posts, it feels like Destiny is constantly taking things away from you, and that’s all tied to one systemic problem: the Light system

1 AntwortenNah I'm raising it. We need something to aim for.
-
1 AntwortenWell that's a shame, more grinding. YAY
-
2 AntwortenHouse of wolves cap should be raised to 40 and it should not be easy to get. They should add more way to get light not just to use armor. And all activities should be raised again with a chance to get new light and armors.

This guy (copied and pasted article) proves a good point LET US GET TO THE NEW LEVEL **** LIGHT LEVELING WE WANT TO KEEP CERTAIN GEAR SO LET US LET US LEVEL UP WITHOUT SWAPPING GEAR!

Did u get to see it from data mining?

Raise the quality cap
-
2 AntwortenMust be hard to get to 32. I mean it took me 7 days... (insert comment stating I'm lucky, below)
-
3 AntwortenI love the new gear and want the cap to be 35.
-
2 AntwortenWorst suggestion ever.
-
2 AntwortenGetting new gear and leveling up is a huge part of the game, -blam!- it is the game. This is a terrible idea
-
3 AntwortenHow about you raise level cap but for 3 Exotic Shards we are allowed to reforge previous raid gear to upgrade it to the new light level so we can keep our "good looks" I think that's a fair trade. What say you
-
I personally like the raid gear. It would be a good idea for the people who stayed since launch to have a bit more of an advantage. But this would be taken advantage of.. Maybe have the new players beat the Vault of glass in normal and hard to them attempt crota's end.
-
2 AntwortenThey have to raise the level cap or you won't be able to prove your metal in raid matchmaking. Embrace your level grinds and embrace becoming legend.
-
5 AntwortenLike how this guy said it they should higher it but give us style changing with the same higher gear stats like real mmos
-
4 AntwortenYou are a dumbass.
-
1 AntwortenHoly crap the crotas gear looks ten times better than vog!!! My warlock looks like a beast for once
-
3 AntwortenThey need to add a way to be able to change your style. That way when you get gear you don't have to keep the look if you like something else better.
-
1 AntwortenIt's going to happen, and then you will need to find more materials, new gear with more light and upgrade weapons again. This is one of the problems of having the "light" level crap. Wouldn't be so much of an issue with standard levelling. Standard levelling would also allow the use of multiple exotic armour pieces. But hey, this is my take on it.
-
My assumption is it will be raised to level 35 and then next season 2015/16 giving Destiny II another year for development would release another two dlc leaving the final lvl cap at 40
-
Lol. Dream on. It's gonna happen.
-
Bungie doesn't care what players want they're probably going to raise the cap again
-
Here's the link (this gear has been confirmed by an employe who is a personal friend of mine) http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2olugg/possible_house_of_wolves_dlc_raid_gear/ This gear looks so shitty for the warlock, I like my Crota's end gear I look like a demon and it's awesome. Don't increase level cap
-
4 AntwortenHoW raid gear has been leaked already?
-
1 AntwortenYou'd better like hell link me to some of this HoW gear.
