The one cosmetic item that most people care about (especially hunters), and you tie light into them.
Now I'm forced to use a cloak I don't like as much aesthetically just to have a decent light level.
The one week pledge to a faction is awesome and frees us to use any class item we want now, but attaching light to those items now negates that feature.

If you find a cloak you like just infuse it. I have been using and infusing my Sunbreaker's Mark ever since I got it and it is now 299. Stop complaining now, k?

Infuse

Infusion?

Agreed.... My warlock used to look amazing, here's a picture

Attaching a Light value to Class Items just about completely undoes every good notion Bungie had with making Faction allegiance independent of Class Items. Same thing with Ghost Shells. We finally *-blam!-ing finally* get some Ghost Shells, and they contribute to Light level. I was so excited to read that they were doing away with Light Level until I... read on and saw it was no, not really. Artifacts locked at 40 was also pretty bone-headed. Overall, I was really looking forward to Class Items that I'd pick for appearance and maybe some special bonus effects, but nope - they've just put us under the thumb of Light Level in a new, stupid way.

Edited by Timerider: 9/10/2015 7:54:23 PMThis really pissed me off. I thought they said they were getting [i]away[/i] from your stats being defined by your armor, and then they do this. Dread's Enmity has 3 defense, where the faction bonds have 140. What the hell. [quote]“The conflation of gear and character level led to this place where your identity was determined by things outside of your control,” says creative director Luke Smith. “We don’t want to do that.”[/quote] So much for that. Get rid of class item and ghost stats.

Yep. I can't stand this change.. Transmog please..
-
Iron banner class items have 30 defense, that's total bs.
-
I'll probably have to rebuy all of the speakers cloaks that I bought
-
Check your sodium cause you sound salty
-
I agree it is utterly stupid I can't even wear my dead zone revolution cloak anymore
-
I wish I could keep my hunter scarves. I've been saving all class items from vanilla and each dlc... So much for being a collector...
-
Im gonna be rocking my exotic dead orbit class item all year!
-
Totally unrelated but I remember you from the Dust forums :D You were one of those people that always loved using a scrambler rifle.
-
This should be kept current.
-
Take away the Light of the classitems OR give us Transmogrification = Problem solved.
-
Add infusion and perks to year 1 class items.
-
Once TTK actually drops you can focus more on fashion because of infusion

Like honestly, what the actual hell The cloak i used the most was that awesome poofy PoE 32 cloak (the red one with the black feathers). It has a defense level of THREE. Compared to green class items that have probably at least 100. Wtf. I liked using the starting cloak (hoodless + scarfless) and that's 3 too. Now I'm stuck with using some stupid blue class item that looks dumb. It's not balanced well either; my warlock's legendary bond has less defense than a blue. Bungie needs to remove this because it's complete bs. It's like, the one customization for looks other than shaders and they screwed it over.

This is maybe the one legit complaint i have seen regarding the patch. I was excited to use my iron banner class items now that the class items are not needed for rep. Only to find out i still can not use them. They have crap for defense on them. This was a strange move imo.

-
Yeah, I'd be mad as heck if I were a hunter.
-
I don't like the ghost or class item stats either. Both of those feel like they are cosmetic items, not armor items.
-
Hopefully speaker class items will be upgradeable
