Some bad news about your Legendary gear
Taken from eurogamer.
"In other Destiny: Year Two news, Bungie has confirmed the existing set of Legendary level weapons and armour will not be upgradable any further.
This means that current purple gear - even favourites such as Vault of Glass handcannon Fatebringer and Crota's End sniper Black Hammer - will soon become obsolete.
"I definitely feel like some of our players are ready to play with some new toys," Smith concluded. "And we've built a whole bunch of new toys. There are definitely some weapons that you are going to find better versions of - there's going to be something that replaces that sniper rifle that you love."
So why the hell are we spending so much time getting etheric light to level up our legendaries?

When DeeJ and the away team get back from gamescom next week we will share our plan for a series of Twitch events that will answer these questions. So you might hold off on dismantling anything until you have all of the info. Soon...[/quote]

For me this is a good thing. As much as I love my FB, VoC etc I don't want to use the same weapons forever. The game needs to move forward and let go of the past. In regards to etheric light the cynical side of me would say that this was tactic to compensate for the lack of content in HoW. But then ascending FB etc is very welcome for PoE 34/35. However, I would not dismantle anything yet, certainly not raid gear - might be some more info coming we don't know about.

Because HOW had very little to do pve wise bar a repetitive horde mode i guess.They invented yet another currency for pve players to keep them involved knowing that such a system really should have been in the first expansion. Seems very much like they cut all the completed content into pieces and spread it over the vanilla and 2 dlcs, focussing just on having enough to do in each rather than any cohesive sequencing strategy.

Honestly the etheric light system was just a band aid temporary solution until they were able to redo the whole weapon & armor progression system. They're also removing the character levels based on light, it will all be based on character xp levels which is an overhaul of the current leveling system which I'm happy to hear :) http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/08/04/september-2015-the-taken-king-89056.aspx http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/08/04/destinys-year-one-legendary-weapons-staying-behind-in-year-two-9432.aspx http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2015/08/04/destiny-the-taken-king-redesigns-leveling-from-one-to-forty-4682.aspx
