What do they mean class items are useful now? Does that mean that I am forced to use year 2 cloaks over my year 1s now?

Forced? Never. In fact the perks are very small. I know I'm still going to be choosing everything based on looks, not on effects. It's just something like 5% more glimmer gain from killing fallen or faster exp gain from capturing zones in control. Nothing that really turns the tide of battle or anything.

Well the warlock one was like, increase fire rate for machine guns so....
-
Eh, even so it's not worth getting rid of cosmetics anyways IMO. I'll be keeping the original iron banner bond.
-
Oh same here lol, I'll keep some year one stuff, but I'll get some year two stuff as well
-
Same here. I'm never going to get rid of my Honor of Cormorant that I bought from the speaker the moment I hit level 20 a year ago.

Edited by IceSki117: 8/20/2015 4:55:28 AMIf they are smart about this they will go and add perks to the old gear. Which if the emblem Deej is using is an old gen emblem it would appear they have.

Yes but it's defense values are low. For example the Collectors edition Ghost has defense 3....spots that Spinmetal and gives More hive glimmer though! Yeah it makes you grind for year 2 stuff. Everything else will be obsolete

Then explain away the fact that they want us to express ourselves through our gear. The whole reason why they redid the faction system was so that players could wear the class items that they want instead of an ugly faction item. They said we have to leave behind our old armor and weapons. Last I checked the class items and ghosts counted as cosmetics. Should they be left behind though no one is forcing you to grind new class items and ghosts. If they have such a minimal affect on our levels then it shouldn't matter which ones we wear. I'm personally going to keep my Honor of Cormorant and wear it either way.

They have a defense level. Now the 9 equipment slots dictate your overall light level through attack and defense values being mixed. It's all in the stream. I'd advise watching it again. Old gear is for new players so they aren't overpowered throughout the old content.
-
Yeah thats the old weapons and armor. Comsmetic items are not armor so they shouldn't be affect by the issue of year 1 armors not being allowed to increase its armor rating.
-
The shades are the only thing without a defense value that is cosmetic on your guardian. Watch the stream again
-
Your completley missing my point here. What Ive been saying is year 1 class items and ghosts are cosmetic items and in year 2 we have seen that they will be getting light levels added to them. Bungie has never said anything about the year one cosmetics being forced to stay at a low level because they keep saying that armor and weapons will not be allowed to increase the strength.

Your not forces to equip anything
