First it doesn't matter whether or not the level cap has been confirmed. We know that the weapons in TTK will be numerically superior than the ones we currently have.
Secondly yes if the damage cap is raise that means that they will be do more damage which makes them better. Yes you could try and say that *Insert gun here* would be better if you could raise it to the cap, but that point is moot until we know whether or not that is even a thing.
If I take a Fatebringer and use it yeah it feels great and yeah the perks are nice, but that won't mean jack squat if I can take a handcannon from TTK and pump out bigger and better numbers than what Fatebringer can.
This is not an argument about perks, looks or the feel of the weapon. This is a discussion about the factual improvement in damage that we will be seeing from TTK.
I could care less what gun I am using, what it does, or where I got it from. The point is killing the things in front of me. Since the guns in TTK are gonna be doing more damage due to the higher cap pardon me if I don't use an inferior weapon because of nostalgia and feels.

Once again, a higher damage cap doesnt really mean sh1t unless the weapon stats support higher damage output. Using handcanons as an example, what if all of the new ones have a higher cap, but half the impact. That definitely will affect damage output. And Bungie has a history, so far, of reducing stats. Weapons have become relatively weaker with each expansion. All im saying is there is a reason people are still using vanilla and VoG weapons, because the newer ones have not been worthy replacements despite the higher level caps. Ascending or not, i would still be using my VoC because to me, there hasnt been a better scout introduced yet. But, if they make a better one, not just one with a higher level cap, i will gladly abandon it. Again, compelling new weapons is the key. Not change just for the sake of change.

Oh my god let me put my point more simply for you. [b][u]*Insert un-ascended weapon here*[/u] [/b] - Better feel - Better perks - Smaller numbers in the same amount of time [b][u]TTK Weapon[/u][/b] - Not so great perks - Not so great feel - Bigger numbers in the same amount of time. In a game where your job is to kill things. The gun that has the higher DPS is the one that is superior. That is a factual statement. You don't get to use something just because "Muh Feelz" and "Muh Nostalgia" and get to completely ignore whether or not its statistically better than other things available. If you do, then you are going to be called a fool as you should be.

Edited by coppertop1124: 7/26/2015 7:48:37 AMLearn about the game mechanics. Its not just about the damage number. That is why even though all the weapons can have the same damage cap, but different actual dps. Do some research. But you obviously have no idea so im not even going to continue with this any longer.
