Your Argument is INVALID... (Making Year 1 Legendary Weapons and Armor Obsolete)

They made the entire first year of this game completely pointless and a giant waste of time. You spent how many hours playing to get Legendary/Raid Weapons and Armor? You spent how many hours getting Etheric Light to ascend gear? You spent how many hours farming resource nodes in patrols? GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND GRIND!!! Destiny was nothing but a Grind. This is how they justified their lack of content. This is the excuse people who defended the game would use when people said the game was boring and lacked content. They needed a way to keep YOU and ME engaged with the game past the fail story missions, so what did they do? They made it a "Loot Driven Game" with RNG designed so that players WANT to spend hours and hours going back and redoing the SAME ACTIVITIES over and over and over and over again for the SOLE PURPOSE of acquiring enough Vanguard/Crucible Marks to get those Legendary Weapons and Armor from the vendors. For the SOLE PURPOSE of going through and beating the Vault of Glass and Crota's End to get that Raid Only stuff. And why? Why did people do this? Because the vast majority believed what they were told. Believed that it wasn't a waste of time. The Dark Below was a precursor to this, and many quit the game as a result when they tried doing it then as well. It should be no surprise that people would be pissed off, because they already attempted this and everyone had the exact same reaction to it before. That's why they introduced Etheric Light in House of Wolves, and that is the main primary reason for many who decided to come back to Destiny. But its just a huge slap to the face, though. Regardless. Because even after they give us Etheric Light, which became the center focus of HoW for the Prison of Elders? They now suddenly decide that they're going to take that away and no longer continue doing it going forward. Really? And they don't expect people to be pissed off or rather they are confused that there is such strong negativity towards all of it? Basically, TTK is entirely a different game from what we got. The video above details this perfectly. Year 1 just never happened. Bungie is just sweeping that shit under the rug. Which is fine, that's whatever. I agree, the first year of Destiny was a piece of garbage and should be burned and pissed on. But what about all of us morons who spent $100+ on it? What do WE get out of all that? They -blam!-ed up, they made all these mistakes and had all these problems with the game. So why do WE have to suffer for it? Why do WE get screwed over because of it? TTK would not have even been if not for us who paid into the franchise already, and yet nothing is really being done for us. We're being disrespected in the most assholish way possible by Bungie/Activision. That Year 1 Triumphs thing isn't worth shit. An Emblem? Don't care. A black Shader and Sparrow? What good are those? Those are cosmetic items that generally ALWAYS get replaced by something else. Prime example, I have the God of War shader which I love, why would I replace that? For some vain attempt to try and garner respect from total strangers new to the game? No, that's silly. I want continued ascension. This shouldn't even be up for debate. You put Etheric Light in and people were still grinding and getting the new weapons and armor for both Dark Below and House of Wolves DESPITE having the ability to further upgrade their old shit. [b]SO QUITE CLEARLY PEOPLE WILL STILL USE NEW WEAPONS AND ARMOR EVEN WITH BEING ABLE TO CONTINUE ASCENDING THEIR OLD SHIT.[/b] We ALSO see [b]PROOF[/b] that you can in fact add to the replay value of activities by using Gear Ascension as a mechanic for such. People WILL spend hours taking on very difficult challenges to be able to do so. There is nothing at all wrong with this and it obviously gives people more shit to do in the game. How is that a [i]BAD[/i] thing? You can be excited for TTK all you want. The problem here is Bungie's decisions regarding Year 1 content and how they are basically eliminating any sense of true progression by not respecting the amount of time and effort invested in the game. Fact is, YES, this DOES actually matter and YES, this IS a big deal to MANY players who WILL be quitting the game because of this and only further destroy the game's reputation along with that of Bungie who clearly don't give two shits about player feedback like they claim that they do. You all remember this interview? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3DLTPQwB10 Fast forward to 4:27 where DeeJ talks about increasing Vault space because they acknowledge players want to be collectors and hold onto their stuff. That you can bring the Guardian you've created with you into Destiny 2 and going forward. Hate to tell you this, Bungie, BUT THAT INCLUDES OUR GEAR AS WELL! God -blam!-ing DAMMIT MAN! WHY DO YOU MAKE IT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY THIS GAME!? SERIOUSLY! YOU ARE YOUR GREATEST OBSTACLE FOR DESTINY! You take one step forward and then two steps back. And it wasn't even YOU who announced this, instead we gotta find out from Game Informer? What the -blam!- is that all about? You ask us for our feedback, we give it to you and then what happens? We get Weekly Updates where YOU tell US how WE feel about things. You guys are putting out a shit ton of weapons. Good for you, here's a cookie. People are going to obviously go out and get that shit REGARDLESS of still being able to continue ascending all their old shit. The [b]POINT[/b] is that it [b]NEEDS TO BE A CHOICE THAT PLAYERS MAKE ON THEIR OWN NOT SOMETHING THAT IS DECIDED FOR THEM![/b] Period. [b]EDIT: As anyone can see looking through these comments, its a very divided subject. However, as I have pointed out to others? Continued Gear Ascension does not, in any way, shape or form hinder TTK or prevent players from getting and using the new stuff. Players will do so either way regardless. And when I ask people "would it really bother you if Year 1 weapons and armor could still ascend?" most generally don't respond to that or actually answer with "no, it wouldn't bother them" and of course it wouldn't. It wouldn't bother ANYONE because we ALREADY WENT THROUGH IT WITH HOUSE OF WOLVES. Etheric Light was done, its real, it happened. It didn't bother anyone, it didn't hurt the game in the least and a vast majority of players reacted quite positively to it. It won't hurt TTK. The only way it WILL hurt TTK is if you don't include it. Because people WILL leave. People WILL stop playing. You think that is silly? Screw you, that is YOUR opinion and obviously not how everyone else thinks. And THAT is the problem here, other people being arrogant and self-centered enough to think that they have a right to dictate how others should feel or think about something. That is WRONG, no matter how you look at it. YOU MUST RESPECT HOW OTHERS FEEL. There are many who have legitimate reasons for wanting to keep ascending their old stuff. It is THEIR RIGHT to feel that way. Deal with it. EDIT #2: For those asking, yes I have seen the IGN Interview with DeeJ. No, my opinion has not changed. It is insulting that Bungie's response to us about this is that "those weapons will always have a place for use in VOG" which is total bullshit. No one is going to keep and use the Fatebringer in Vault of Glass when there are other weapons that will have a higher damage value. More damage will always automatically mean making less stronger weapons obsolete by comparison. Old Legendary Weapons and Armor need to be able to continue ascending. That is how many of us feel, and that is not going to change. End of story.[/b]

            • I'll be posting a video in the near future, I will be deleting all of my shit. My 5 gjallarhorns, my 7 vex, my necro, all of it. When I finish deleting everything, I will be taking my copy of Destiny outside, setting it on fire and pissing on the ashes. Working this weekend so I'll be doing the deed next weekend for sure. I'll be starting a Twitter account so I can share it with Bungie all over social media. F.uck these clowns.

                • So are you leaving or not? If you think Bungie is stupid and Destiny is a sh*t game, than just stop playing it. Unlike you, i actually see Bungies side. Bungie wants to bring back old and new players. The noobs arent going to experience the game the same way we have, they arent going to do things that we have done. We have these memories and moments that the noobs will never get. I also see your side to, i can understand being attached to certain weapons and gear. Trust me, i dont want my The Devil You Know to be left behind, it was my first legendary handcannon and has been my baby since i got it. Bungie shouldn't be forcing us to move on, we should have a choice. Im excited to get my hands on the new weapons. They look awsome and might be better than what we have now. I can also think of alot other arguements for Bungies side. If you want them than just ask.

                      • When was HoW released? since then beaten skolas 25 times to get his primaries he drops...so much time spent on a thing not even released that long time before, 1 or 2 months? just to get them and see them getting useless now, W T F !!! as i already decided NOT to buy TTWK, i somehow couldn't care less, as if i still do play this game at its release won't be affected...but when it's stupid nerfs (and i mean truly the STUPID ones!) and crap like this now, an overprized dlc that seems to offer nothing but overprized crap, it's somehow sad...as this game could be great, its devs are definitely not...as to call them *'§&=?%! would be even more than justified....

                      • I understand they can't let us keep the old stuff forever. However, it's only been a year, and really, why can't we keep at least a few pieces? Let us ascend a few Year 1 pieces and scrap the rest. TTK really does seem like they are basically just redoing the whole game. Which isn't 100% terrible as TTK sounds like it has a lot of great ideas (combining marks, combining armor materials, more quests, etc), but it really does make it feel like Year 1 was just one giant beta.

                      • Sorry but i totally disagree with you. Destiny from the start should have had the format exactly as they had it when you get to level 20. It should have never changed after that. They realized the error and are now correcting it going forward. Its a smart move for the future of the franchise. I played Destiny since the very first day of launch. I grinded my tail off. I have all 3 character types at level 34. Even with all that I welcome the change. I decided to grind I wasn't forced to. Now they will make it a much better process going forward, so how is this a issue? What all that grinding did was make me a better player. I become a better player in PVE and PVP, so if you look at things in a different perspective you will see there still was a positive from grinding. Also polls don't mean nothing in this forum. The amount of members in here are no where near the total of overall destiny players. Bungie I like the direction you're going with the franchise. Good Job!

                        • I still have weapons prior to DLC1, most of my 331 damage I kept and dismantled the new ones. I did got a Crota weapon fr raid last night that does 300 damage ascended to 331 WTF. I pre - ordered this game and played beta, no Gali. I do fine without it, but would like to not see so many drop items that get sharded or dismantled fr weeklies. I don't play to grind anymore. I do weeklies and raids for elemental primary weapons that's it.

                        • Personally not really my number 1 concern, it was bound to happen, I do understand how people feel about this and can simply say it has happened before, there was an uproar and then change, maybe it will happen again, who knows. I DO 100% agree with your last paragraph, they NEED to LISTEN. on another note if you had the choice to Ascend only 1 weapon which would it be?

                          • Well written and I agree with you. Bungie doesn't give a crap about the community. They always tell us how important we are, how important our feedback is etc but it's just alot of bs. They keep mind -blam!-ing the destiny players and don't give a shit. I got really pist about some parts of the up coming weapon nerf but this takes the price. If they go through with their plans about making all year 1 weapons and armor useless I'm out. And so is basically everyone I'm playing with atm. So bungie. This is your chance to show us that you listen to the community! Look at the polls. In some polls shows that more than 40% will stop playing destiny. Only 20% likes it. The rest just hates it. We WANT to be able to use our stuff we have got during year one. The weapons and armor we spent 1000 of gaming hours to get. Exactly HOW hard can it be to listen to us?

                            • Devil's advocate: Ascension was a bad idea to begin with. No one really wants any of the HoW gear because you could upgrade the gear you already had, and it was much harder to get HoW gear with the stats and perks you wanted. Not only that, but the guns were garbage. Besides, your gear becoming obsolete with a new expansion is nothing new. As a long-time WoW player, this is par for the course. I remember almost immeadiately sheding my T10 raiding epics for quest reward greens when Cataclysm was released, and I don't expect Destiny to be any different. Also, why would you want to keep your old gear? A new expansion means bigger, badder monsters to kill for loot that will be better than anything in Year One. I could see you keeping gear for cosmetic purposes, but beyond that... The point of a game like Destiny is to kill monsters for loot, that you can use to kill bigger monsters for better loot. I'd gladly trade my legendary gear for a chance at something better.

                              • Liked and bumped, though I will note I seem to have read today from some of the various Gamesrader articles there will be a way to sacrifice armour and weapons to empower armour and weapons if you like it. No idea where I'd find the quote TBH but I'm sxure you can with a little digging. Point is if true it MIGHT not be time to get out the torches and pitchforks. Or at least, use slightly smaller ones for the who0le Beta test thing.
