XP Level is STILL just a gear lock, Light Level is STILL the only thing that matters?!

So it's become blatantly obvious after one week of patch 2.0 that the hype about restructuring the light level and xp level system was pure bullshit. XP is only there to get you to the level to access gear that boosts your light level to the highest possible rating. Sound familiar? That's because that's exactly what we were doing last year. This time, at least, you can grind XP to get to max level this time. But that's the ONLY change that was actually made. Light level is still 100% the ONLY THING THAT MATTERS in terms of your guardian's power. They tried to say that this wouldn't be the case, but it is. Guy's.... NOTHING fundamental has changed despite all the self-promotion and hype. What you paid for was nothing but 1) paywall for nightfall, weekly heroic, daily heroic, trials of osiris, iron banner above all else. In the guts of the thing it was simply a UI overhaul, music swap, gear swap, and weapon balancing. Yet bungievision feels so confident in these tiny nothing changes that they decide to lockout any and all players from anything new as well as EVERY ADVANCED LEVEL OF PLAY ALREADY PAID FOR IN VANILLA AND DLC... the huge throbbing paywall. TL;DR: Light level is still the grind heavy stat it always was. Nothing has really changed from vanilla or DLC destiny into TTK. You do the exact same things almost the exact same way. There was NO INNOVATION with this patch. TTK is a cheap and unethical way to lockout all players from anything related to end-game no matter how much was paid into the game beforehand.

  • Into the RNG rabbit hole everyone goes. You need legendaries to get to max light, you need max light to participate in end game activities, you need either amazing RNG and/or legendary marks to get to max light level. Changed my A$$. Dont get me wrong, i love the new subclasses, i love the new cinematics, i love alot of the new stuff and changes. I do not however love the fact that i have to grind epic amounts of stuff to get back to where i want to be. Vanguard class items give vanguard increase in rep, Crucible class items give crucible increase in rep, why do the FACTION ones give increase to crucible and not FACTIONS. Thats CRAP. Legendary marks - you need to get to a high light level to start earning them, dont buy it, try doing high level anything by yourself, start slow. Go to Mars and hit a VIP high value target, you will find a Minotaur or Harpy, level 40 with shields (recommended 198) try it with as close to 196 as you can get only 2 measly points below the target. It will 2 shot you. It took me my Super, my grenade, my Heavy and all my primary to beat ONE yellow bar that was 2 tiny light levels above me. Yeah good luck.
