I'm on board with Destiny: TTK.
I'm [i]all[/i] aboard the hype train. And this ride has no stops. Choo-fookin-choo.
But help me come to terms with this...
From what I've read, [i]and let me tell you now I read these things amidst my sleep deprived/incoherent moments at 4am[/i], our old weapons and gear will [b]not[/b] be boarding this train with us.
My understanding is that the current weapons and armor we have ([i]with the exception of Exotics[/i]) will stay at their current stats when it comes to defense/attack. Essentially making these weapons and armors obsolete to those in TTK.
If this is true, so be it. [b]But...[/b]
[spoiler]get your popcorn [/spoiler]
I feel as if I'm being locked out of the things I worked for. Trials gear, Iron Banner Gear, and my original armor pieces that I hold so close. All these are now obsolete? I liked the idea of having our Guardians grow with time, and become chiseled out as time went on. Slowly becoming what we wanted them to be. [i]wait for it...[/i] [b]Legend[/b].
As a Day One/Year One player, I lose my individuality with this. How do we stand out now? We'll be working with the same materials as Year Two players.
[spoiler]Which, by the way, I welcome whole-heartedly.[/spoiler]
Besides our Year One emblems, we won't, really.
Now take a deep breath before you comment. And let me reiterate this here, I'm [b]not[/b] angry. I'm not balling my eyes out and assuming the fetal. I'm just a little thrown off is all. I'm fairly new to this MMO crowd, so, maybe this is just how these things work.
But if this is, in fact, how it will be- I'll move on. Just hoping it isn't. I mean, when TDB came out, they had no plans of ascending old gear, and look what they did later on! Bam, ascension.
Thanks for hearing me out Guardians. Have a good morning! Or night, if you're into that lifestyle.

Edited by Sanctus Michael: 8/5/2015 4:47:56 PMYes, year 1 gear won't board this train with you based on the limited info we have now. As for your TDB vs HoW changes. All that was year 1. They made a way for year 1 items to stay relevant for year 1... but year 1 only. I think... and it hasn't been said... that each year there will be a refresh. The annual clean out your closet and go for a new look type of thing. So, 9/15/2015 items will probably stay good until 9/2016. Then clean out your closet again. At least that's what I'm betting will happen.
