A straight forward FAQ explaining:
1. How we will be leveling up our character, armor, weapons and skills.
2. How our current light level will translate to our level in TTK.
3. How we will level our existing Exotics (weapons and armor).
4. What happens to all the various materials we have accumulated per class for leveling armor.
Will it be convertible to new “Armor Material”? Will old materials still be relevant to year one game or is everything changing to “Armor Material”?
This is the list I have so far. I’m sure that others may have additional questions they want straight forward answers to.
I’m not asking you to reveal surprises for game play or the secrets of the Dreadnaught. I’m simply asking for specific information that will allow us to plan ahead and understand the new mechanics of of the game with TTK.
Yes I know that info is being dribbled out by the media. What really need is a FAQ form Bungie.

Edited by TheArtist: 8/10/2015 2:03:23 PM1. You will level up like you did from level 1-20. By doing game activities and gaining experience....like the vast majority of other MMOs and RPGs. So your advancement int he game will now be a directly reflection of your time and effort.....not at the mercy of RNG like it is right now. 2. Unclear....though Deej in an IGN interview **strongly** hinted that we would start out at the highest light- level that our character achieved. So that if you reached level 34, you'll start TTK at level 34. 3. Unclearly....but given how the current system of "ascending" gear has been recieved...Bungie will probably keep the current system for exotics. Plus it will keep Xur relevant for those players who don't need to buy anymore exotics. 4. Not confirmed. But they'll either be transformed into that one material at the start.....or be convertible for a small glimmer fee. Like at the Speaker. Bungie is probably playing this all close to the vest becasuse they are probably trying to work out the final details of how all this will play out. So they don't want to say anything that gets taken as "promises"....to only have to change them later.

1. We will level with experience only, like we did until lvl 20. 2. Deej wasnt very clear on that one.. But there are two options. For example, if you have a 34, it'll continue as lvl 34 or it'll go back To 20.. They'll probably clarify that In the next weeks. 3. Dont know 4. Old materials will turn To armor material. No more specific armor material like sapphire wire for example.. They'll all turn To the same thing when TTK comes :)

Edited by The Bolt 76: 8/10/2015 10:18:20 AMKnowing Bungie and how they use currency...trade in 50 sapphire wire and 500 glimmer for 1 armor material. Now grind some more.

Twitch will tell you.

Exactly! There are still alot of questions that we have, and Bungie seems intent on being evasive and less than forthcoming. Why they need to be secretive about basic mechanics makes me leery of what is coming. They always come off as trying to hide something...

Edited by the 3X0dus: 8/10/2015 6:09:16 AMHow about you salvage the weapons I just feverishly spent the last several months getting up to par? You know...the weapons you upgraded using arguably the biggest takeaway from the last DLC. Or was that the Prison of Elders weapons, like Wolves Leash for instance? Or does it even matter? Because those weapons, the etheric light, and the weapons I upgraded with said etheric light are all now irrelevant anyway. Fix this, Bungie. This is what I need before The Taken King.

Bump.

Those are going to be a requirement prior me even thinking about spending money.

You need to buy another game after TTK and play it all day long
