Am I the only one who prefers the old levelling system?

6 RepliesI think the [i]system[/i] is totally fine. The [u]drops[/u] (more specific the double RNG) are the problem.

I miss the old way as well.

HoW was probably a little too easy, but at least it was a direct path to max out what you wanted to max. And kept all the old content relevant. The new system is definitely a tedious, and nearly impossible to max out gear. They were trying to make the game playable for a long time, and on paper it probably looked perfect. But in reality it's way too drawn out.

Don't like either. One week of SRL & PS4 went from 4 320's to 35. What weeks of "end-game" content couldnt do, 1 week of ending 6th every race did.

2 RepliesI wish class items were cosmetic only again. Just shift all the stats and bonuses to the .jpeg stat rocks that are artifacts. They could have had decimal value sliders for light level and been fine. Really the only reason why the previous system was so annoying was that someone who had 29.9 light for months was the same as someone who had 29.1.

Absolutely I liked the old system better. This system now was put in to increase the grind a bit to much for me. It takes more resources now and the double rng really sucks. I've beaten oryx 3 or 4 times and have gotten repeats of gear that I got on the first completion at lower light than what I already had. It really made me not want to play the raid.

the old system is better for lfg Actually lfg 315+ there's no different from 311 to 319 Most of the scrubs cannot unterstand the actual light level system

Edited by Zelrons: 12/14/2015 9:53:46 PMYa, lets go back to HoW were everyone reached max level in the first week.

All is better now. All are welcome. Praise RNGesus

Me too!

5 RepliesHoW I feel that was the best... [spoiler]Any legendary armor can be maxed light armor[/spoiler]

I swear I'll never get a warlock bond over 306. It's getting ridiculous!

Normal raid gear should drop at 300, and you can level it up to 310. Hard raid gear should drop at 310 and levels up to 320.

2 RepliesOld system was better, but only slightly. At least before if you got a raid item, it was the best version of itself, and all you had to worry about was getting all pieces. Now you have to get all pieces and get incrementally better light levels. Every time I do the raid i get the chest piece at 304 or lower. Can't do hard mode because i get the same 304 light crap over and over. I have gotten the chest piece 5 times and never seen the gloves nor the ghost shell. New system is more grindy despite its intention to reduce the grind.
-
I do to some extent, right now it's RNG on top of RNG. First you got to actually get something from the raid and then you have to be lucky enough for it do be higher than what you already have :/. However the HoW leveling was too easy :(
-
3 RepliesHoW levelling was too easy. I wouldn't mind a system where you get the lower light stuff dropping from base level game modes and you get something like etheric light which you can use to upgrade a piece of equipment by one or two light at a time It will be slower than the HoW system but at least you would get a steady increase in light by grinding out the high level challenges

New one is better

I despise infusion

No your not. I hate the fact that it's based off of your weapons now

Edited by PeetSquared: 12/14/2015 9:13:28 PMThe new system would be a lot better if the game had a smart loot system. The fact is, you can get nothing but moldering shards (one of the biggest 'FUs' from Bungie that I don't see talked about enough) or something of way lower light than what you have on. A case in point, I have a raid chest piece for my lock that sits at 314. Next raid, I got a Harrowed chest piece...at 312. Why is that even possible?
-
8 RepliesNo. Light level sucks
-
Yes, I appreciate the RNG aspect of the game but I hate the addition of light RNG for items. That just multiplies the chance you could get screwed! If I get an item I was looking for, in particular raid and exotic items, there should way to upgrade it to the max level once you receive it. The way it was before was better. Not too long ago I deleted my warlock to add another hunter because of this horrible RNG system.
-
The new system is better it is just the rng to get 320 gear that is messing it up. etheric light was too easy and before that it sucked only being able to use raid or ib gear. This system is great except for RNG light levels!!!!!!
