Even if they don't decrypt into new stuff, if you have your vaults packed to the brim with engrams that should count for a few cryptarch rank up packages at the very least.

Also unleveled legendaries dismantle for three marks so even if they pop as old gear you could potentially refill your marks for buying new vendor gear day one.

They probably won't decrypt into new stuff but the light level should be higher. Old emigrants decrypted into new items after the April update but that's probably the exception to the rule.

It's done it for longer than that. I don't know what will happen with this expansion obviously but it's happened more than once now.

In the old expansions they did but at some point, maybe Taken King? They started decrypting into new gear.

Light level won't be great obviously but it's a chance to get new gear on day 1 which is something.

I have 100 and i plan to use them to power level via infusion once i finish the story content.

The base level isn't going up just light level so keeping engrams is a good idea imo.

Same with faction packages.

I forgot that you could leave a faction package, so then you could edge the rep and have another one right away. It doesn't save more than one package though (per faction), right?

It will only boost you to level 25, so do not use it. It does not give exp or anything like that either.

I'll have to dig through all of the settings to see if there's something with more visibility.

Destiny is my first console shooter in something like 3 or 4 years. It's quite jarring to have almost no UI customization options and extremely poor audio options. I know I personally like having to turn down my TV whenever I start CoE because Fallen McFuckface has to scream everything.

Right, in fact if you rank twice before claiming it the older one is lost.

Old faction packages have never turned into new expansion gear, probably not worth saving them up alongside edging.

No one talks about this.
Don't run trials until they update the gear and probably overhaul the mode in September. It's all sweaty fuckbois boosting their elo and paid carries right now. All the mid range players got their cat emblems and gave up trials months ago. It is completely awful right now until they do something to attract The more common players again.
