What was funny was when I went to the tower this morning, there were a handful of Guardians all canvassing the joint looking for Xur. Pretty funny.

30 isn't necessary but 28 will be for future Raid content. Being 29 or 30 simply allows you to have an easier time in the new Raids. This is exactly how gear progression works in MMOs currently.

Because you have an addiction and the addiction is winning.
Level cap increase? how and says who? destiny tracker? they've had level 30+ stuff listed before the game was even out (beta).

What's the strength stats on your void vest?

You can't get the items, but you can see them. Xur gives a message like he doesn't have those items in stock right now.

I doubt they will raise the level cap. All of the current exotic armors will become useless.. unless they add an additional upgrade to them by the time the DLC comes out

New to these kind of games? Ahh the days of burning crusade still ring in my ears as people thought the old gear would be updated..
Jest Chillin

Again, this already happens in MMO's. New content comes out and requires more powerful gear and the old top of the line stuff becomes less valuable. It's not useless, since it's still relevant to it's level range but it does indeed get replaced and new top of the line stuff comes in.
So there would be more powerful Legendaries as well as more powerful Exotics.

I just hope they weight the shards to the upgrade level. If I have to burn a fully upgraded raid vest and get 3 shards out of it I'll be hopping mad.

My Warlock's discipline is at 0, and my grenades still recharge pretty fast. Won't complain.

^^ your doing the raids for glimmer? Why not like you need it for repairs or.. anything.
Why dont we need to repair..
Why dont we need to repair..
Yeah dismantled a legendary fully upgraded helm.. got 2 or 3 shards... ooooo
Yep that would be my guess. This is why I do not like gear treadmills. You work hard to climb to the top and a DLC/expansion knocks you right back down
But I'm sure a lot of achievers will be all over that.
I don't think there are enough items and resources to warrant an auction house. The typical MMO has thousands of things up for auction. Destiny would have a few dozen at most. There are only 4 gatherables (1 per environment) all aquireable without a locked profession. Each class has only 3 items sets outside PVP (one blue and 2 vanguard). Weapons are a bit more plentiful but even then not to warrant an AH. This would also lead to glimmer farming which would be pretty dull.
It would be interesting to see an AH where the currency is Strange Coins though...

This is an interesting problem and I wonder how they will address it. If they stick with Shards and Energy they have the two fold problem of old gear sharding giving too little for the investment AND people having massive stockpiles of shards and energy from playing while not needing to use them.
If the new gear uses something other than energy and shards then it does effectively make the old gear useless for new players as it uses an upgrade material that becomes too much of a hassle to collect as it will just be replaced on the way to the higher level cap.

They don't have to be more powerful, just different-- new perks, etc. to suit different playstyles.

The last two times I've gone to the Tower it's been empty. What gives?
Definity

Yeah, that and don't even try to use an ammo pack while you're dead. Total waste. Plenty of dumb shit in this game, lol.
I saw alot of people. But I was in Patrol on Earth last night and there was no one. Kinda pleasant actually cuz I was just farming.
After the Vex Mythoclast fiasco, this isn't happening.
I'm just surprised and disappointed.

I'm running the raid with a couple of friends and it will be their first time. Any other gaffers who haven't tried it yet fancy coming along or any more experienced people are more than welcome too.

Sure they don't have to be. But we know Raids come in Normal and Hard, with Hard being about 4 levels higher (so far). We also know from the images/video of the bugged Director that both Raids for the known expansions have Normal at Level 28. This suggests that Hard modes will be level 32.
This could all be changed by release of those expacs of course but it's what we know for now.
You're not taking into account that ALL the new gear would be more powerful. So even the new Legedaries would be more powerful than the current exotics similar to the way that current Legendaries are more powerful than current Rares. We're talking Attack/Defense/Light increases here. Not literally 2 and 3 shot weapons.
We tried doing the level 30 raid with 2-3 29 and 28s. Simply not enough dps on the adds to kill them efficienty it's crazy
I'm in RedFury03
Talking with my buddies, the main thing we're all frustrated with right now is the lack of diversity in end-game content. Specifically with armor.
There's only one set of armor that gets you to 30 right now (Bar exotics. I love them, but equipping only one at a time hampers the diversity a bit). Presumably the DLC raid armor will follow suit, but there should be more options.
There definitely needs to be a PvP armor set that gets you to 30. This should've been in the base game, and I'm shocked we haven't seen it yet. Trials of Osiris sounds like it might be the solution, but it should be available for PvP players right away.
I also think that factions could play a role for different PvE armor. Not grinding them up to a certain level, but just something high tier, maybe special bounties once you reach rank X or something.
I just think it's kind of lame that all of the 30s running around have the same gear on.

Damn, how'd you get that many? Been sitting on them for a while or a crazy grind this week?

Sorry, I found a group!
I agree and this is why i feel raising the level cap so soon after launch is just silly. I honestly don't care if I find the raid boots any more.

Only thing I've bought with Motes since the game launched was a Bond and an emblem from the speaker.

Yes. 26 is as well but you really have to be on point. Each level you gain gives you more leeway for mistakes/taking damage. 27 is, imo, the minimum for the average player.

(22 motes... I will got one more to try).Ok then I'm up to try the raid if anybody wants me. (first time)

From my understanding that has always been the best Warlock exotic.

God still debating on my Hunter's cape from the Speaker. I might get the Cloud Walker one.

It's probably the rarest piece of exotic armor for Warlock, since Xur has never sold it.
