I'm sick of Bungie doong everything to force gameplay out of us. We worked hard and we're excited to earn great stat rolled loot. But Bungie ruins all the work we put in so we are forced to play with RNG during ROI all over again.
EDIT - Because too many people are confusing the difference between ''stat percentages'', and ''light level scaling''.
Let me make an example which hopefully expresses what the issue is..
The would be cap on gauntlets was 41/41.. Correct? So having those stats would obviously correspond to 100% stat rolls. Okay, so if in ROI, 400 Light gauntlets with 100% stat rolls were 60/60 (making numbers up for example's sake) then the fact is my gauntlets could be dropped down to 26/26 when ROI hits, but that doesn't change potential of being 60/60 when brought up to the NEW light level cap.
Okay, now.. What BUNGIE did, was take your gauntlets (along with all armor pieces except ghost), and REDUCED THEIR POTENTIAL PERCENTAGE. That means those 100% stat rolls you had on gauntlets, those 41/41 is now 38/38. which when brought to the new max will be 52/52.
We're losing the overall percentage, which in turn, will screw us when the cap arrives. We're still on the old cap until ROI.
Um it's just not T12 because the max light will be changed and current stats reflect that system. If you just hold on and infuse your set up after Sep 20 you'll be able to get your precious T12 back.
Drop 60-70 light on your armor and you can't be T12. It's that simple. So gain that much and you're there. Understand?
