[You guys came up with so many great ideas. I really wish Bungie had a look at the comments here.]
[b]Come on, Bungie, give us the freedom to choose whatever suits our style best and don't let those awesome weapons you've designed become obsolete. Actually, don't let the stunning Vault of Glass (best content in the game) be consumed by the darkness.
I believe that Raids and its weapons should always be the at level cap. More weapons to choose from, more content to play.
Weapons are mostly situational and mixing them is part of a successful strategy (it's fun too). Having more to choose from just add to the game.
Edit: I'm not suggesting to automatically turn them into 331 attack weapons. Just give us a way to upgrade them to the current attack cap. I bet you guys can implement it in a sensible way.
Why would we go against the idea of having more relevant weapons at our disposal? It's like saying "I'd rather have less weapons, less content". Let's not be passively attached to an old format. Destiny is something new with immense potential.[/b]
=====================
Some great comments Bungie should pay some attention to:

"But what they decide to do with VOG weapons speaks to the future of the current raid weapons as well. Right now, there is an expiration date on my Fatebringer and that sucks, supremely, but now that same feeling isn't too far for my Black Hammer either. I'd like to carry these weapons with me as long as I am playing Destiny. Yeah, future weapons maybe better and I end up scraping these guns one day but I'd like to be able to decide for myself versus having no choice in the matter. Just my take on the situation".

"The problem lies within the way they have designed the upgrading system. They are going to have to re work how you upgrade weapons and armor. Yeah they could just update the VOC gear up to 32 and 331 but what happens when the House of Wolves comes out? Then they are going to have to update both Dark Below and VOC all over again the prevent them from being obsolete. They need to just make it were the players can choose the path they want to take. You choose what armor and weapons you want to upgrade to the highest rank. I mean make it a difficult task. I wouldn't mind the challenge and it would inspire players to be more creative with their characters rather than every single person wearing the same gear".

"Upgrading older legendary weapons could finally give a use for the Gunsmith beyond buying ammo and weapons at a low level. Not to mention it would help provide a larger variety of "good" weapons so that we would have more things to work towards. After all the various DLC's are done, just imagine how varied the weapon and armor selection would be. (Speaking of which, vendors should be able to upgrade armor as well.)"

Honestly, they should have just bumped everything up, or make it all upgrade-able. They took ALL the old legenardies at the tower out anyways, so I dont see why they couldnt just update them to 32/331. Way to toss out the old gears. The only way to get them is from engrams now so why not at the same level as the current gear?

More bump

I honestly thought the way it would work is that the VOG would be capped at level 30, if your light level was any higher you couldn't enter it Anyone else think this was gonna happen as the dlc dropped ?

That's not how raid items work...You use a item till you get the next better tiered item..Then you stop using the lower item...

The thought of upgrading the gear and guns I want based on my current level is outstanding. While I agree, it shouldn't be so easy to go from 20 to the level cap with vendor gear. I don't see the harm in letting me go from the previous raid gear level to the current level cap through an upgrade path similar to the current Exotic weapons. Raid armor and weapons should always be relevant. If necessary, keep adding Heroic levels to the raids, similar to story missions, and drop appropriate level gear.

Edited by IAMZLATAN: 1/11/2015 6:21:49 PMHmm, yes and no. Sorry if anything has been mentioned, I haven't read all comments and edits. • [b]Yes[/b]: Because they're good weapons and people have attachments to them. [u]Solution 1[/u] No doubt there will be a future Raid where we encounter the Vex again (obviously no idea when) so at that point they could add in an upgrade path which allows the max Attack to be increased so they can be used for that. - However people's attachments will have diminished. [u]Solution 2[/u] When a higher level VOG drops (32 or 33), add in a item that drops (like the Crux of Crota and Necrochasm) that allows the weapons to be upgraded. - Can't see any negatives tbh [u]Solution 3[/u] [i]This can be used in conjunction with any other solution.[/i] Allow only one to be equipped at any given point similar to Exotics •[b] No[/b]: Because Bungie want people to grind for the new weapons to extend play-time. This is understandable from their POV even though it goes against what we want

Edited by Rcaluw: 1/10/2015 11:54:28 PMSome people seem to misunderstand the point OP is trying to make. The fact you have a 331 fate bringer won't make the word of crota obsolete, the fact you have a 331 corrective measure won't make song of ir yut obsolete. The point is that weapons don't have be better per say, but weapon variety is always a positive. I would like a lvl 331 praedyths revenge even tough I have a lvl 331 black hammer. In certain situations I want a sniper rifle that has low recoil, high ammo capacity and fast rof. Black hammer is NOT that weapon, praedyths revenge is though. While fate bringer would be better for groups, word of crota could be better for single targets. While fate bringer is better for fallen strikes and arc burn, word of crota would be better for vex strikes and void burn. It's all about variation, not about better or worse. As for how to implement these changes, it's not hard really, i'm sure someone has posted this before but, give us a token every time we complete the new raids, with which we can upgrade previous raid weapons. That way, by completing crota's end on hard, we get a token to upgrade one legendary weapon from the VOG tot lvl 331. Same goes for when house of wolves comes out. Completing the hard raid will allow us to upgrade one weapon that we got from crota's end. The same could go for armor. You get a token which resets all your progress but bumps it up to new levels and will require new update materials. To upgrade VOG gear you'd then need to use radiant materials and so forth...
