So Bungie just told us..

That the day The Taken King releases. All that gear your grinded for for hours on end and worked hard to get is becoming useless. All that ascending for nothing. Thanks Bungie. I'm cancelling my pre-order. This is just pathetic. [b]We're getting remodelled weapons with different names and colours. Devil You Know and Revelator have same base stats. Red Hand IX and Lone.Rebel have same base stats. Deadshot Luna SR1 and B-Line Trauma have same stats. I'm so happy to dismantle my favourites for identical overall base stats DUPLICATES. Everything will continue to be the same. Yes "move on" to "better weapons". All that changes are the name, colour and a slight adjustment to the models.. The attack value goes up. Yet THE BASE STATS WILL DUPLICATE.[/b] Edit: Yes this is my first MMO. Yes I love the weapons I am currently using. Yes I love playing Destiny, gameplay is incredible. Yes I will complain when things piss me off. Edit 2: This is an MMO. This isn't an MMO. I really couldn't care less about the genre. Edit 3: If you're happy spending money for your weapons, that you worked hard for, to become obsolete then good for you. I chase the weapons. You may chase armor, grimoire, experience or enjoy doing the same thing week in week out. Insults don't affect me, in fact it shows how low your intellect is. "They said wait" they shouldn't have to. They shouldn't let people jump to conclusions. They shouldn't let misinformation be released. Edit 4: unlike the majority. I rarely use my fatebringer. Final Edit: After reading many constructive replies and having checked in on Destiny today. I've decided I'm going to have to line up all my weapons and start cutting them out. Keeping all exotics and useful crucible weapons and those I consider to be useful.

  • (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง Shut the -blam!- up saying this isn't an mmo. As if that means it can't share similar progression. This isn't your average -blam!-ing cod console shooter either. The reason you grind is to loot better shit with friends. It's called progression, a feature commonly used in mmos, it also works really well. Sure old video game are cool, but progression must take place, new ones must be made without the compatibility of the old. This process isn't new and it is normal. Just not to you, someone who has been spoonfed from birth the lies of entitlement and brainwashed to remain stuck where you are instead of dreaming for the next best thing. I feel sorry for you OP I really do. (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง

  • I'm with you on this. How much effort could it take to allow upgrades for the older stuff? Bungie needs to start answering some of these questions. I don't think I have read a single response from anyone from Bungie.

    I can see where you're coming from, you've put countless hours into this game, chasing that one weapon that you wanted/needed, that last piece of vault armour, that BlackHammer, (Would mention a PoE weapon here but I didn't chase any of them) Or even spending hours trying to go flawless, just to get that one adept weapon you needed. These are the weapons you built your character with, you've used them for a good portion of Year 1. But that's exactly what they are, Year 1 weapons. House of Wolves introduced ascension, but if you ask me, it wasn't put in for the benefit of the game, it was introduced because people wanted it. Back in vanilla Destiny you had strikes and the Vault, the grind was brutal but that made it all the more better when you finally got that last armour piece, or that weapon you wanted all that time, whether it was a Found Verdict, a Shadow Price, A SUROS or the Vex Mythoclast. The Dark Below removed most of the grind, but it was still there. But whereas the Vault could take weeks to get one piece of armour/weapon, with Crota, most people had what they needed in two weeks. But certain weapons were still there to grind for, whether they were Vanilla or new, exotic or legendary. House of Wolves introduced ascension, which for me at least, removed the entire excitement out of Destiny after a few days. PoE was good on paper, but quickly became nothing more than a way for Etheric light, not the armour pieces or the weapons, just Etheric light. Trials was a shitfest, nothing but two maybe three weapons at a push, whoever got the lucky shot off first would gain the lead, most of my Trials matches have been poking my head out of cover for two or three seconds, dodging Thorn all the way. Or listening intently into my headset listening to see if I can't hear where they are only to hear two rounds be fired off into a wall. The few matches that have been utter chaos were my favourite and I distinctly remember going 8-0 and finding a team that used nothing but No Land Beyond, that match was utterly terrifying because they were actually winning down to the final match where we managed to take it back. Where were these terrifying or exiting moments in PoE aside from day 1 or your first Skolas run? Ascension, was a double edged sword. It let us bring back all our favourites to their highest value again, plus it was nice seeing a few Vanilla weapons at 365. But it took the excitement out of Destiny, why bother searching for new weapons or armour pieces, when everything you're going to get is worse then everything you already have. Personally I think Destiny needs a hard stop, keep the exotics, ditch the rest, move on with the game. Because why keep the same Year 1/2 etc. weapons throughout the whole of a ten year plan? It makes no sense to me. I also realise that this is Bungies fault for some part, the weapons they introduced were below average for what you had to go through to get them, but if we could just maybe hold our tongues, wait and see what will actually happen in The Taken King, because while you've had to abandon everything you've had, maybe this time, the things we can find will actually be worth it.

      • Look at the new video from planet destiny they just released.. It gives a little bit more on the information about how the weapons we have now can still be used in the future.. I personally feel like trying to obtain different weapons after having all the weapons year one has to offer.. Don't get stuck in old ways.. At least they don't reset your entire character stats...

        • I agree, I'm still waiting/ may not buy the new dlc on the sole reason of how they're handling their new release. I understand they messed up and made the first weapons "too good" and now they want to make them not upgradable so their new weapons can look good... But isn't that just saying we're going to give you the same kind of weapons but just newer looking ones in a way? Doesn't seem like they're making better weapons just keeping them the same but making sure we don't use the ones that were already "too good".... And to answer some folks questions... Yes, I would like using the fatebringer for 10 years, if that's what I want to do. I know mmos change and they move on. But there is a difference in upgrading up with new content vs just rendering everything useless. It's a complete slap in the face for the amount of time put in, imo. I'm not bitching just stating my opinion. I love destiny, spend way to much free time on it, trying to get the best roll for my allfate, trying to play with friends just to win trials, but if there isn't a slight change in their thought process to this release I will probably say bye bye to this game.

            • I'm not buying TTK. It's a waste of time. You did well by cancelling your pre order. It's other great games to choose from this year.

              • Given that Destiny is a game thats largely given its longevity by the desire to acquire new loot wouldn't allowing you to just use your current gear considerably reduce that? Effectively meaning you get considerably less value for money.

                  • Do you have an Iphone or a Samsung? do you still have the very first one that came out, refusing to buy an upgraded better version because you spent your hard earned money on the first one. No of course you don't. Grow up, grow a pair, accept change and build yourself a bridge to get over it.

                    • People really need to stop comparing this game to MMOs like WoW. This is a fps. It's no more a "MMO" than CoD and halo.

                              • A lpt of people answering you are extremely rude, thats what i dont like in this forums. That out of the way im torn on deciding ttk looksactually really good but so far the new weapons we have gotten have been worse than the ones before. I mean of icompare HoC with tracking and cluster bombs to a freaking void rocket launcher with shank burn it's obvious which one is better. I wouldnt have a problem woth them making previous weapons basically useless as lomg as they r actually equal or better.
