Light level and damage clarifications. (?) (Destiny)

by CyberKN , Oh no, Destiny 2 is bad, Thursday, August 20, 2015, 14:17 (3481 days ago) @ Cody Miller

...we now have three things that are part of the calculation for damage dealt: level (are you below enemy level), weapon attack power, and the light level. As such, you really could do more damage by putting on better armor.

Are we sure that the bolded part is not being changed in TTK? From all the language they've used surrounding your light score, I got the impression that levels affecting your defense/attack is being phased out.

So you're saying that the only thing level will do in TTK, is prevent you from equipping gear if you aren't high enough? You think a level 20 can waltz into Crota Hard with their 365 weapons and Raid armor and rock his shit?

Equipping gear, and restricting you from activities that are more than three levels above you (as the game currently does), maybe? I think the implication is that if your light score is high enough, your level shouldn't be an issue.
