I changed two of my characters at the beginning of destiny 2. I didn’t notice any gear dropping at a lower light level than usual? In fact I didn’t make my new Titan until months into the season and was able to level her the fastest out of all three. It was just a minor change of skin tone for my Titan and eye color for my Hunter cause they both looked great already but now all three look damn sexy. Shoot i would ask them out if I saw them on IO, but then again I spent hours creating them cause I knew how long I would be playing them. I spent the longest on my exo warlock. I made several cause I couldn’t really tell how she really looked until getting into the tower. Lol. My huntress is definitely my proudest creation but it’s not my Titans fault she has to wear such bulky ass gear. Shoot it looks even more ridiculous on a male character, so glad I’m not in that boat or ide prob start over right away.

yea the punishment which definatly was a thing , not sure if it still is and they might have rectified it so that if u had 3 different at the same time it didnt do it as that was what it was to do with having duplicates even tho i never it just thought i had by making a second hunter over a warlock then vice versa it came in in the second week and wasnt noticble till u got over 270 more so around 300 u would only get 260-270 power gear , like i said not sure if its still a thing either , , they had the shits at people duplicating to level up quicker, , i really dont see why they care about such things as long as ppl arnt interfering with other players and the way they play , play how u like i reckon
