I've recently heard that our hard-earned Destiny Legendary gear will not ascend past its current stats when The Taken King comes out. Does this mean we have been wasting our time getting etheric light to upgrade our current legendary weapons to 365 which will mean nothing compared to weapons coming out with TTK? This is not fair. I know its because Bungie wants us to use the new legendary weapons as they say their armory will be bigger than ever but who says we won't use them if they are equally or [b]slightly[/b] better than our old 365 legendary weapons (that may even make us want to dismantle some old ones).
[b] If anything, A solution can be at-least to make it harder to upgrade 365 ATTACK weapons to the new MAX ATTACK, for example needing 5 or 10 etheric light instead of 1 for the next ascension. Not many players have alot of etheric light so it would not be easy to upgrade all of our old legendary weapons. If not this, give us another difficult or time consuming way of further ascending old legendary weapons than no way at all. Also this does not have to be right when the TTK DLC comes out, a later chance to ascend old legendary weapons will still give value to our Year 1 "Legend". I personally believe this is way better than making our hard earned legendary weapons obsolete.

Edit : http://www.ign.com/videos/2015/08/06/destiny-the-taken-king-new-gameplay-ign-live-gamescom-2015 , In this video, Deej the community manager promised players that their favorite weapons won't become irrelevant after the expansion launches. He said that there are still plenty of situations where they can be used effectively. "If you love your Fatebringer, there are still a lot of great places you can use it," he stated. "In normalized Crucible [competitive multiplayer], where power is on an equal playing field, your Fatebringer is still going to be a force to be reckoned with. There are still patrols where it'll be relevant, obviously when you go back to play the old raids, it'll be time to dust off that old Vision of Confluence... There's always a perfect tool for any job in Destiny. So those [b]"Year 1 weapons are absolutely going to be relevant, don't dismantle them, there's still going to be a time when you need to use them."[/b] I think this is hinting that with the new DLC, weapons such as vision of confluence and fatebringer will no longer be acquirable or replaced and this will keep us unique from new players. If this is the case, I take back everything I said before this.
[spoiler]I am just going to wait for Reviews to come out for The Taken King and if they are good, I will buy it. [/spoiler]

2 RepliesA lot has happened since I last posted my thoughts... I am 100% okay with moving into a new plethora of weapons to use. The guns are currently used are switched between character because they are the best things that I have. As effective as this is, I want Guardians yto feel as unique as possible. These new weapons will make me enjoy Destiny for. I am willing to put ol' faithful (vision of confluence) on the shelf and bring it back for the nostalgia. I am happy to move into Year 2 of Destiny.

1 ReplyI'd like to have the choice of upgrading these weapons but maybe in a difficult way. I think there should be a material that drops quite rarely in vog that u use for vog weapons and armour and have a different one that drops in crota for crota weapons and armour. Kind of like the crux. Means ppl have a reason to do the old raids over and over again but the drop rate would have to be low. Etheric light was too easy to acquire. Ideas like this will prolong the lifespan of old activities.

signed. community manager said in a interview fatebringer will not be upgraded. you can still use it for the old raids. people are going to be very angry. im sorry to say you will not be able to upgrade that fatebringer. it might be that you use old weapons to upgrade the new weapons. but in no way is fatebringer upgrade able. i have a gally but i never even got a fatebringer. it looks like a good hand cannon. when Deej said they will be relevant after the expansion he meant in old raids and crucible where ascension is not needed. signed and signed
