World's first lvl30 in Destiny

Destiny has its first level 30 character.

American Mark Edward Neace Jr, aka N3AC3Y, scored the world first yesterday with a male Exo Hunter on Xbox. One exotic and eight legendary items are equipped. Here are the character stats, lifted from the player profile on Bungie.net:

Defense: 1463
Light: 120
Agility: 7
Discipline: 48
Intellect: 308
Strength: 115

According to Destinydb, the player has spent 107 hours, 15 minutes and 22 seconds playing the game. A quarter of that time was spent in the competitive multiplayer mode, The Crucible. Over 13 hours was spent in the Vault of Glass raid. Destiny, which launched on 9th September, has been out for two weeks.

Destiny has a soft level cap of 20, but you can go higher by equipping armour that has a light statistic. The higher your collective light stat, the higher level your character. The only problem is, high level gear with high light is hard to come by.

Good for him.

More than 4 full days in 2 weeks. Crazy.

Mozz-eyes · Sep 23, 2014

Dude must be doing some epic procrastination.

Putosaure · Sep 23, 2014

Okaaaaay...

Does he deserve a reward or something for that achievement ?

I saw some GAFfers stats with even more hours played.

Dahbomb · Sep 23, 2014

This is like nothing compared to something like getting 1000 paragon points on Diablo 3.

It's a world first in the biggest selling new IP of all time. It's just recognition for his achievement and other Destiny players may find it interesting.

It's only 4 days....

Robin64 · Sep 23, 2014

For such a high level character, he looks pretty boring and not all that different from how you look at the lower levels. I guess I just expected a bit more... awesomeness.

Navid · Sep 23, 2014

Agility: 7

Where did this info come from, not seen any agility stats for my characters in the game..?

That's not a lot. I mean, yeah, it's a lot, but it's like 7 hours a day, for two weeks. I've done worse.

I doubt that's how his in game character looks. The web view doesn't show any of the interesting aspects, for example my glowing gauntlets don't show.

MMaRsu · Sep 23, 2014

Lol and now he can stop playing that mediocre game.

Ploid 3.0 · Sep 23, 2014

No low level has that white shader though. The cloak too.

Nah, new events launched today, and everything is refreshed so he may level new classes or stock up on materials and keep upgrading/searching for loot. You are a Diablo player, you know how it is. Efficiency, and there's also a great pvp mode.

I welcome our untextured overlord.

Hunters seriously got the short end of the stick with armor sets.

bloodyroarxx · Sep 23, 2014

Is this the current possible max?

Lucent · Sep 23, 2014

Kinda hard for me to reach 30 when Bungie screwed up the FWC faction gear by requiring a material that doesn't exist in the game. =[

I disagree. It is far from mediocre.

Eh, not complaining cause of the capes. Wait, awesome capes.

BigTnaples · Sep 23, 2014

So what happens when Bungie raises the XP level cap?

Will the light just be added on to whatever your base xp level is?

Alcoholikaust · Sep 23, 2014

at least he can show off all that gear....

...who am I kidding?

i-Lo · Sep 23, 2014

So according to bungie, this becomes a different game after lvl 20. So what game is destiny after lvl 30?

Hasney · Sep 23, 2014

That many hours? Christ, glad I got out when I did.

Have a feeling they will continue raising caps with light. If they do increase base level I'm sure light will still add the extra, though it'll be weird when people get the new level 21+ gear and have to drop in levels while they're upgrading the new gear.

+1

Mediocre is far too high an assessment for this title. A rating much lower down the scale is needed.

I know what you meant

nubbe · Sep 23, 2014

The only thing levels dose is to block gear twinking...

But since that shit is "normalized" and you can hit 27 instantly when you are 20 with an alt...

Levels are useless

Family Fry · Sep 23, 2014

I'm sure Bungie will reward him with some Recon.

toastyToast · Sep 23, 2014

107 hours is nothing. 16 hours a day and I'd be impressed.

Awful helmets though

Gipsy Danger · Sep 23, 2014

So is there a hard cap with gear? I'm only level 12 so I'm not quite sure how that stuff works but I assume there must be some sort of eventual hard cap. If not then that's pretty cool.

GeordieMark · Sep 23, 2014

A small victory if ever there was one

You can level up to 20 through exp. After that, you gotta gain levels by gaining armor with light on it. You need 21 light to reach level 21, then 11 more light for every other level. 30 is the highest you can go right now.

drotahorror · Sep 23, 2014

One of my long time online buddies tells me about Destiny almost every day. It sounds more grindy than korean mmo's. I like grinding but I don't like having to spend half a day (or possibly not even completing) doing dailies.

flkraven · Sep 23, 2014

I heard Destiny is an entirely different game once you hit 107 hours

BeforeU · Sep 23, 2014

lol wow

angelic · Sep 23, 2014

I've seen the future and its bland.

I still want my flaming Recon helmet

Gattsu25 · Sep 23, 2014

Wait...this is the highest level guy in the game, he spent over 10 hours in the raid, and he only has one exotic?

you can only equip 1 armor piece

AHA-Lambda · Sep 23, 2014

So is it a different game after 100 hours?

HighResTomato · Sep 23, 2014

Hunters are not normally associated with the "Intellect" stat in MMO's right? The gear doesn't really make sense.

sirap · Sep 23, 2014

I wonder about how much time he spent near the cave.

You can only wear one exotic weapon and one exotic armor piece in the game.
