Thoughts on losing light levels and going to 20?
I know some of you arent smart enough to have spotted this implication, but basically, light levels are being done away with, and normal leveling will resume, this means, you will lose that 34, and start again at twenty when the new dlc releases.
So whats your reaction to that, and the fact all that hard work for gear to level up islost?
Im suspecting that is your face above considering you just figured it out.

8 RepliesIf anyone is dumb enough to think they will take 14 levels away from you then you belong in cod. I say they might stick anyone at 34 to start at 30. Or just remove light and turn your level over to 34 and start from there. Even bungie isn't that dumb

I like it and I've been playing since day one, it's good to reset and hunt for new weapons, using the same weapons over and over again can be boring

Edited by A_rodEmpyre: 8/5/2015 3:03:31 PMMy reaction YUS..... No more grinding light levels, Imma making sure it won't drop my light level, so I'll gonna put everything on my three characters in the vault. Edit: also, everyone complaining, lent me your salty tears.

4 RepliesWow, your smart. I've known this for a week. Thank god we have you to tell us shit we already know.

Finally i will be able to use any legendary armor in crucible!

2 RepliesWe will start from our light levels u dumb f**ck

YOU DONT. YOU START AT YOUR LIGHT LEVEK AND GO FROM THERE
-
Do bounties now.

There's absolutely zero proof that players will see their level REDUCED from their existing levels. They have even said that there is some system in place for people to "ascend" one character each to the recommended starting level for TTK content. All they've said is that leveling is being changed from Sept. 15 onward.

2 RepliesI'm not really concerned about levelling up or how long it takes, the real question is what level will weeklys and nightfalls be? If you don't play a whole lot then you may be locked out of those and others aspects until you level up! Is this BungiVi$ion trying to sell that legendary edition with the class items That have an XP boost?
-
Well it's the way it should have been to begin with. But changing it now for the long run makes sense but for the immediate it has consequences that the guardians bear not Bungie. We have already grinded past 40 Bungie has been giving us Motes of light for every level above 20 so they know exactly what level we really are. They are really focused on getting new players the CE versions prove that.
-
You also have to think that everything is going to be releveled. I'm glad that players are going to be able to get to Max level without hoping for the right gear drops or the right vendor. It's going to be refreshing. Though I'm sure we'll start to see some MMO stat barriers. "must have attack of 1500+ and defense of 2000"

It's a number... I don't care. The game will be designed around it. How do you people function in life without the capacity to adapt?
-
1 ReplyIf we all fall back to level 20 for the first two weeks (while trying to get xp back) we cant do any raids at all? Sounds a bit silly...
-
I'm excited. Light levels were one of the dumbest things I had ever seen in an RPG.
-
Even if we all go to twenty, those with weaker armor will still be weaker.

Edited by Camp0potamus: 8/5/2015 2:19:05 PMThis is a good move. To have a "level" and then a "Light Level" as secondary element was just a bad idea to begin with. All of the gear we have now required you to only be a base level 20 to use anyway, this will allow for more potent weapons to be locked in at higher true levels and do away with your armor driving your base damage level.

Edited by A Rising Wind: 8/5/2015 2:18:47 PMNo one has stated what the starting exp level for existing guardians will be. They could easily apply an equivalent exp to make your exp match your current light level as a starting point so you don't progress backwards. Or we might reset to 20. I lean towards the former mainly because it would be odd to suddenly have players under leveled and unable to play NF and raids they've already previously completed. But if so, meh
-
Looking forward to it. Light level was a terrible idea from the start. Using XP to level up makes the grind actually worth something. Anyone who has played other MMO's completely gets everything that's happening with The Taken King and has no issues with it.
-
Actually, I don't really care. Interested to see how everything actually looks and [b][i]plays[/i][/b] before I decide if it was a good or bad move. It does kinda suck I spent last week grinding Iron Banner for Etheric Light to get my Hunter to 34. But I would've played either way, so [u]it's not the end of the world![/u]

19 RepliesLight level is not going away, and nowhere is it even implied that everyone will restart from 20
-
Oh please you don't even have the right to be mad with those low level characters. Pretty much everyone is 34 so everyone will be 20, no big deal.
-
They will want us to level up the new subclass and what better way to do that than to level up another 20 levels. The same way we leveled up our first sub class.

Edited by Fusjansu: 8/5/2015 2:16:13 PMIt's great, the day before TTK launches I'll have full completed 5000 XP bounties on all my characters
-
Regardless of if we get reset to 20 thats fine with me, the level system was stupid, tying your level to gear and an RNG was dumb. I much prefer exp gain system like all other MMO type games that rewards time spent in game.
