A game shouldn’t tell you which days you are allowed to progress. First, they are weekly challenges, meaning that once you finish them, you have to wait until next week to continue leveling. It sounds easy enough, but the problem with these challenges is two fold. So, how do you get past these new level caps? The only way is to complete special weekly challenges that are guaranteed to give you better gear than what you are wearing. This is especially frustrating because the minimum recommended light requirement for the new raid is 270. Now there are soft level caps at every 5 light levels starting with 265. And Destiny 2 has maintained this tradition, but in a slightly different way.
This issue was even big enough to cause a wave of popular memes.Įventually, expansions to the game changed the leveling system, which ended the “forever 29” club, but there would still be a soft level cap that required gear from the newest raid to surpass. Most were luckier than I was, but many got stuck needing just one raid item that they could never get, which stranded them at level 29. Never before or since have I been so disappointed in a game. It was at this point that I abandoned all hope. After 6 successful raids, I was never awarded a single armor piece. Not to be discouraged, I tried week after week to defeat the raid, hoping for gear to boost me over level 28. That is, until I received my reward: Chatter White, an all white shader for my gear, was all the compensation that I received for an entire Saturday spent in combat. When I finally defeated Aetheon, I was overjoyed. It had puzzles, mazes, bosses, and required precise teamwork. I have to admit, The Vault of Glass is to this day one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had in any game. I would have to find a group of 5 other friends and attempt Destiny’s first raid, The Vault of Glass. I knew there was only one way to get past it. I had reached level 28, which was the soft level cap at the time.
