Good afternoon, Let me start off by saying, that even though I read the forums quite a bit, I'm an extremely rare forum poster, due to having a quiet-nature personality. I've been with Bungie.net going on about 8-Years now, and it's been a hell of a ride that I plan to keep on riding. The [u]main[/u] purpose of this post is to acquire clarification. Now, to get to the topic at hand: Year 1 Gear (Particularly Armor) Bungie, you've said it many times yourself, that [u]Destiny has been about customization[/u], and wanting to achieve that certain character look that you enjoy and strive towards. I could be wrong, but I didn't hear anything mentioned in the stream about Year 1 Legendary Armor itself being up-gradable to have the same defense values as the new Level 40 Armor, similar to what was done with House of Wolves with Etheric Light. Infusion seems like it's going to be a different ordeal. In order to upgrade old Exotics and such, you're going to have to hit Level 40 in order to get the stronger Year 2 Version, and in order to get legendary weapons to their peak, you'll have to go through Infusion. Now, I can understand Year 1 Weapons (Legendary, anyways), being swept under the table to make room for the newer weapons coming, and I know I'm going to miss sporting my Fatebringer and the joys it brought, and again, I realize you want want to push people to move onto getting into Year 2 and acquiring it's gear, but armor is a different matter. Armor is what makes up your character and it's uniqueness, and sets it apart from other characters. I myself have grown very attached to my outfit, and I really, really don't want to have to part with my Iron Regalia Vestments on my Warlock, which are no longer obtainable with the introduction of Iron Breed. So, to get to the simple questions: • 1. Will you be able to upgrade Year 1 Legendary Armor, to have the same light / attribute stats as Level 40 Armor? [b]Compromise, if not:[/b] A Vanity / Social Slot for each category (Head, Chest, Legs, Class Item), that will enable you to override the appearance of newer armor, with the cosmetic appearance of your old. • 2. Will Year 1 Raid Weapons become obsolete (Fatebringer, Crota Weapons, ETC.), because there is no way to infuse them? [b]Compromise, if so:[/b] Either put in a Expert Mode for the Older Raids (Level 40 Version) with Level 40 Variants of old raid weapons, or allow old Raid Legendary Weapons to have the Infusion Option alongside Year 2. This will stop the old raids from dying completely. We paid for the DLC Content, there's no reason to kill it completely. • 3. Referring to the previous question, if it's the latter and the weapons / armor can't be upgraded, wouldn't that essentially make the first two DLC's, and their Raids, completely obsolete? What would be the point in paying for them at all, if so? On the topic of the Vanity / Social Slot, if it were to be implemented, [u][b]it could enable you to cosmetically wear a full set of exotic armor without breaking anything in the game[/b][/u], due to it being only vanity. This could not only appease a lot of people and fix the issue of people wanting to wear Year-1 armor without being penalized, but could also open up a whole new world of outfits and customization. If anybody can clarify, that would be splendid. Feel free to post your two-cents on the subject, or post opinions on the matter, but try to keep it clean. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. See you on Destiny.
