Level cap increase? | Forums

I'm just watching AREKKZ YouTube video about the new gear sets in 1.3 . It's says rank 40 required for some gear sets .. Are we getting an increase with this update?

It looks like it and am sure i seen something at E3 where the players gear score was 265

That would be tasty.

It would relativise the announced weapon balances and give players who joined later a chance to catch up.

Yes.

Would make sense. Increase in this PVE based update to the base level and DZ rank upgrade in the Survival update which seems to be focused around PVP aka the DZ.

Iam also pretty sure those new ranks wil be exclusive to DLC buyers. Similar to Destiny and their raise in light level/base level based on Taken King expansion.

So only the dlc holders will get a rank increase ? I guess that will work in pve (never played destiny) .

The more I hear about this update , the better it is sounding .

I'm pretty sure that is the new Underground rank, which they include with the update (along with another special vendor). There will be no increase in the basic pve rank.

Or it might simply be placeholder numbers used in a test build! Those number are tied to the 265 gear sets, so it pretty much seems to be tied to the DLC (if the numbers are correct)

Like you CAN get the sets outside of the underground, BUT you need the DLC to wear them. These tactics are used by developers to further push people to buy DLCs. Very basic and cheesy marketing strategies. *sigh*

Exactly what I mean as seen above this quote.

Or they really increase the level. Its a simple method to separate the dlc users, add new talents / skills and gear. Addons work this way and nobody is usually pissed off - they either stay vanilla and play with vanilla gear, against vanilla players, in vanilla regions or the upgrade.

My guess is, that survival will also be story and pve based, because it is the only way to progress the story. Imvho, survival will be about gathering basic resources like food and medical supplies. All those soup cans will be empty soon.

It might have a pvp component but its focus will most likely be on the story.

Just a heads up the Underground DLC is a separate download from the 1.3 patch That download is for X one and PC players.

The 1.3 patch that includes gear/weapons and other such stuff is available/downloaded for all platforms on the 28 th same day as the separate DLc for X one and Pc.
