I can't tell if you had a revelation or you are being condescending. Either way the lowest character at 300 something had HoW gear. Worth checking he video.

Not really. IF it is 500, it will be the last year not in September.

Well if they changed light level to a prestige system or added the total light. It could amount. Considering weapons had light in the e3 build.

That could do it. It just won't jump so high that quick. They are Devs, it could be any number they wanted it to be in play testing. It's hard to say for sure. You could be right. We won't know for a while yet regardless. I think the final end cap will be 500 but it could be 5000. The game changes so much so often it's really anyone's guess at this point. I figured they were just amping their levels to get through mobs quick just to show off the areas. I could totally be wrong entirely. They very well could have changed it yet again.
