Level being reset to 20 for all players- Theory
From all the gameplay I've seen, it seems like everyone is level 20 again. In PVP, the players level is shown in the after-death screen as a light level, but I have a theory to why it shows level 20 as the player's tag in-game and in PVE.
I'm thinking, maybe, when Oryx comes to the Destiny world, he's filled with so much of the game's term "darkness" that it takes away people's current light level. This gives players an opportunity to level up their new class and XP bar.
I think the new XP level cap will be 35. Remember, it took 15 levels to unlock our second subclass, so if we took our base levels now, which is 20, and add 15 to that, we get 35. I don't think the light level will change. I think once we defeat Oryx in the raid, our light will be restored from what it once was, and the level cap will be 49.
Now I know there are lots of people saying that the level cap is 50, but I haven't seen official confirmation from Bungie on this. With my theory on the base level being raised to 35, and the light level being at 34 right now, if you added 15 to 34, as you did adding 15 to 20, you'd get 49.
In videos, you can see a player that is 49 in a crucible match here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOzF4D6EdiY&feature=youtu.be&t=6m14s
However, there is no indication of any players that are level 50.
I'm not saying I'm right, but this is just my personal theory; It could add some interesting ways and mechanics to get our levels up.
What do you guys think?

Perhaps it is that after unlocking the new class you start at 20 for that class. Which is frigging pointless as you can just equip armor to be come 34.....
-
man I would throw all kinds of money at my screen if Bungie went away with the light system Destiny does not need light/level system one of the things I hate about the game, your light level does not matter
-
Nope. 30 is the new base level and we don't know anything about the light level, but it will not go away
-
in order to reset a player level to 20, they would need to either cancel all your ascended exotics and legendaries or take away their light level, we saw something like that in TDB and no one liked it so it's not gonna happen, if they're gonna do something about normal levels, they could change exp lvl cap to a higher number. as for max light level, i heard something about 40 but nothing is sure until they officially reveal it
-
Don't take anything you saw as what is going to be implemented. I have a feeling Bungie is playing around with different ideas. Just wait and see what it will be when Bungie reveals/releases it.
-
I think its old for the 49 because hes base level 20 light 49. While you have the more convincing one of level 30 base level and he was a level 42. I still believe base level 30 and a 16 light level above base because they always add 2 lights levels
-
That's tinfoil hat territory there. :-)

1 ReplyIn the gameplay, they display actual level as opposed to Light level- consequently, everyone is level 20. Whether or not they bump the base level cap remains to be seen.
-
Bumping.. Forgot to add tags. Reply away! :)

Great theory!
-
Very interesting idea. I hope this is actually what happens, because my theory wouldn't be as pretty as yours.
