According to an interview, Year 2 will start without Light level on armor.
This means players will get from Level 1 to 40 (new level cap) all based on experience.
Attack and Defense still make a difference however.
Wearing all legendary gear at 40 is still favorable compared to all common armor level 40 of course.
[u]Year 1 legendary weapons are confirmed to NOT be able to be ascended.[/u]
[i]“I definitely feel like some of our players are ready to play with some new toys,” says creative director Luke Smith. “And we’ve built a whole bunch of new toys. There are definitely some weapons that you are going to find better versions of – there’s going to be something that replaces that sniper rifle that you love."[/i]
⚠Something better than Black Hammer and Ice Breaker?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! $$ 👋
[b]⭐The best part is RNG will finally be adjusted to give items that you don't have. Less chance for doubles! [/b]
Edit tons of new Information!

16 RepliesI'll be sad to retire my old weapons, but I totally understand why it's being done. My hope is that we can at least continue our Exotics in some fashion. It's also nice to have a new leveling system that won't prevent us from moving on until RNGesus is kind enough to give us loot we need.

1 ReplyAwesome. Now I can start a warlock and Titan without having to worry about some stupid light level.

Edited by asir: 8/5/2015 8:12:22 PMBut what if i want to look pretty [i]and[/i] be able to stand against the greatest threats the darkness throws at us? I don't want to have to shard my sexiest boots just to be able to have a fighting chance. I currently really like my guardian dress-up simulator. Hopefully we won't all have to look the same like we used to.

No more forever 29 scenarios... I'm happy.
-
Hell it didn't matter anyway, I just ascend everything I think I might wear one day. Fashion is your Destiny.
-
Well its actually good. You dont need to worry about the gear you wear since the power is the same due level. This allows you to go Fashion Souls ( Thats in Dark Souls ) or Fashion Destiny.... Fashtiny?

3 RepliesGee I guess I won't miss all those weapons that I kept cause I thought they would be rare later on, time to empty like half of my Vault, and honestly (if you disagree with me on this, I really don't care, its a personal opinion) the whole advanced RNG system kind of makes me think this game won't be a grind. (Unless there are 20 new exotics added into RNG system) and honestly I won't be looking forward to Xur and Nightfalls as much then.

2 RepliesI'm pleased as long as it takes longer than 4 days of grinding to get to level 40. I want to see a 40 and think "yeah they know what they're doing" or "they've definitely put a lot of time into this game"

25 RepliesWhy make us work so hard to jjust take it away.... Pathetic

1 ReplyOut there somewhere there is nerd rage. Why does that make me smile?

1 ReplyI am ok with this, grinding for etheric light was a pain in the ass anyway.
-
1 ReplyI like how this dumbass Luke Smith and everyone at bungie automatically knows what guns they think I'm gonna favor. If I want to keep using the same guns I'll keep using the same guns. It's like they want to piss people off.
-
2 RepliesHell yeah! I hope it's difficult to obtain level 40 though.
-
Thank. God. Light Level was a strange idea that never really madd much sense..
-
2 RepliesLevel 1? I thought the starting level is 20?
-
3 RepliesIf they do fix rng my first exotic drop better be an effing ghorn lol.
-
3 RepliesWait...if experience is going to be how we level up, then what happens to old exotic armor? And do we have to level up from 20?
-
2 RepliesEdited by Prototypes End: 8/5/2015 2:08:55 AMI love the new experience way but no ascending weapons? And i see the -blam!-ing asshat said that. So everything i grinded for is -blam!-ing worthless? Great to know. I already see where this game is heading. Remember bungie, year 2 is a break or make for a game. We all know what side you are leaning to right now.

Thank you for linking article

After watching this I'm absolutely pumped, seems like a complete overhaul of destiny in all the right ways

I'm not really looking forward to TTK. To much change makes me feel overwhelmed.

7 RepliesYet where still not going to update vault space so that previous gear u earned and grinded for are pointless
