I got the impression . . . (Destiny)

I got the impression that you would just immediately be whatever level your Guardian is currently at. If you're wearing level 32 gear and launch TTK, you'll then be 32. I would imagine that then equipping gear that would get you to Light Level 33 or 34 wouldn't change your level anymore. It would get you that extra Light, which is apparently still important, but you would have to level up the regular way.

No one knows for sure though, obviously. :P

In the interviews I've been watching and reading lately, they're being really tight-lipped about what "The starting level" for the taken king actually is. The fact that they don't just say "level 32" or "level 34" when being asked questions about what player's levels will be when the transition happens makes me suspect they're intentionally holding back some details for a twitch stream or what have you.
