First of all, Bungie you did a great job with this update. Everything looks great and in a way, fresh.
I was super excited that we would be able to pledge to our faction and be able to wear the class items that we loved and always wanted to wear in Year 1, but couldn't because of faction rep. This update was supposed to change that but it didn't.
Now we cannot wear the class items we would love to wear, because there is defense tied into it, and it affects our overall light level.
I hope to see in the patch notes on the 15th that defense has been removed from class items... Or new class items can be infused into Year 1 class items to make them stronger.
Thank you if you actually read the whole thread :) and I hope everyone is having a good time with this update.
