Max level is 40. We are all max level.

Chasing max light level is nuts. And it is totally un-necessary. In fact there is only one encounter in the entire game where you substantially benefit from being over 310.

That's why i think Year One's system was more replayable. 20 was max level; 30 was max light level.

Once you hit 30, the Nightfall, Weekly, Daily, Iron Banner and entire Vault of Glass could kiss your ass. Chasing that level was worth it because being max level meant something.

Ya'll running the raid every week for drops to give you an insignificant boost to light for one part of the game you play once a week. It's one thing if all of the end-game was at 310-320, but it's just Oryx...

I'd imagine a lot, I just want to get my Hunter to 304 or something and that will be that.
I'm over chasing the light levels for essentially nothing, and the nerfing of all Black Spindles, even the infused/changed ones really turned me off to chasing most of the special weapons. I'll still go for the Warlock scout, but that's it.

Anyone want to run NF?

Black Spindle waiting list has dried up once again. Gonna take a break for now in that case and check back in an hour and a half or so. Send me those PMs to get on the Black Spindle help waiting list in the meantime.

I run the raid each week because it's the most fun I've had in a video game in a long time. Drops are bonus.

Yeah and they made the Trials/Raid gear crap so I don't get what Bungie wants us to chase after.

There is literally nothing.

I'm only sweating the raid weapons I don't have yet. Once I get those at decent light levels I'll be content with just doing the main weekly activities going forward with 1 or 2 characters. I need to really start getting to these other games in my backlog. The only game I've beaten that's not Destiny since Destiny was released is the The Order, and mainly cause it was so short. Also, Fallout 4.

It's got to be tales from his guesswork.

I don't see them increasing LL without introducing a new end game activity.

There was approximately 18 weeks betwen Vanilla and Dark below (which increased the level cap), and between Dark Below and House of Wolves (which increased the level cap), and between House of Wolves and Taken King (which increased the level cap.

TDB was December 9th, less than 3 months after the launch of Destiny.

An informed hypothesis.

Howdy dgaf,

I'm a RL friend of JohnOfMars (formerly EpyonMX) who's finally gotten their GAF account approved. Just wanted to say hi and share a gif of one of the shield brothers slamming me so hard I got the "Join Allies" prompt:

The light system in Year Two is better than the light system in Year One, but I preferred Year One's chase because being max level meant being the same level as the enemies in the most challenging content. Daily, Nightfall, Weekly Heroic, Iron Banner, and even through TDB and HOW for Trials and Prison of Elders (minus Skolas).

You run the content for armor to make it easier to keep running it for the weapons, or you run the content for the weapons that are powerful so you can keep running it for the armor. Yea we ran it because it was fun to play with friends, but even when it wasn't, that incentive was still there.

I hope not. The time between TDB and HoW was far too long.

I think you're missing the point of that 1 sentence of a much larger post.

All I was saying is that the game is constantly progressing, and the odds are that whatever the max light level is now, it'll likely be increased within a few months. Thus, there is no reason to calculate attempts at loot beyond 18 weeks, since at that point players will have to start all over and work towards a new max.

Used to? Bruh I'm running 3 Hunters right now because I was getting fuck all from the Oryx raid when I had just one.

Yea you can still run alts and swap your armor over for an extra chance at getting better drops every week. Doesn't really entice me though.

having to buy the boons on the card is so fucking stupid.
i always forget it. why can we not just buy at the guy so nobody forgets it?
you still have to go and get a new card anyway.

and why can't we buy them after round 1?

You do know you can infuse armor across character classes right ? :p
Click to expand...

But he'd have to level up the other classes to get higher level drops. If you brought a 28 into Vault of Glass, you'd still get Light 30 gear. If you bring a 280 into the Raid, aren't you going to get lowre drops than if you were to bring a 300 in there?

Oh, I get it. It's not worth doing now let alone in 18 weeks.
