Hi there!

The power cap was raised by 200 points at the launch of Witch Queen. So, you will need to raise your power level to meet some of the new activity recommended levels.

In regards to your weapons, at the launch of the Witch Queen, there was also a massive weapon rework. However, you’ll need to be more specific as to which weapon in particular you are referring to.

thanks il get back to you about those weapons

Pinnacle cap for season 15 was 1330 at the time.
Power floor for season 16 is 1350.

If your equipment was below 1350, it was automatically raised to 1350 since the start of season 16.

What Theblaze said, all weapons you may have in your storage or on your characters were automatically upgraded to the base 1350 rating when With Queen went live. So "Any" weapon you had was say 1150 would have gone up 200 in power.

As for the char and armour all worn armour was put at 1350 basic, you had to do the intro mission of the new Expansion to unlock Seasonal Mods.
