So how big are thes changes going to be? Well they will affect how the game is played in a major way, including progression system, missions and weapons.

For one, Destiny‘s level cap has been raised to 40; with each expansion pack we’ve gotten has raised by 2 levels at least. May’s House of Wolves expansion brought it to 34 from The Dark Below‘s 32.
Bungie is also doing us a solid by tweaking the game’s loot algorithm to take your existing gear into account, so your less likely to get duplicates in you collection.

But now you can say goodbye to Destiny‘s Ghost, well at least the voice actor who plays Ghost; replacing the Peter Dinklage with well known voice actor Nolan North. I mean, they totally chopped him out, re-recorded Dinklage’s whole shit. I guess Bungie’s been reading those game forums then.

Plus those go to weapons you love may be eclipsed soon enough with the introduction of The Taken King, as creative director of The Taken King Luke Smith explains:

There are definitely some weapons that you are going to find better versions of — there’s going to be something that replaces that sniper rifle that you love.

So those ‘Year One’ weapons you maxed out may end up being better off as starter pistols come The Taken King and the new arsenal on its way.

Change is usually good, but it seems Destiny’s expansion almost always involve some retraction. Of course you remeber the whole old gen console / weapon vault patch issue
