--------------------------------------------- [b]Edit Aug 16 2:12pm **Added notation***:[/b] (As per [b]Jasonbt49[/b]'s topic point) It is a [i]completely understandable[/i] viewpoint that due to TTK coming out that Year One gear to an unknown degree will be not "as valid" (or completely invalid for all we know, Bungie has only suggested "not deleting year one gear" but hasn't specified anything more). Please keep in mind the "Year one gear example" and references to "year one gear" in the video are in fact there because if the "Legacy Etchings" existed during year one, the "Gear telling a story", and Smiths mentioned problem the Devs were/are facing MAY have been solved [i]then[/i] (during year one), and if implemented MAY be solved by what we are voting in as a community [b][i][u]here[/u][/i][/b] for the future of "Year Two". This is why you as community and what is discussed here is valid. Year ones lack of what is suggested here going forward can change the future of this game... with just your input.

[b]-----------Community contributed ideas[/b] (This section is your contributions) •[b]OdysseusXIII[/b]: Etching/s adding a perk column or perk achievable via achievements (example: A boss defeated gives an etching that when applied adds a 3-5% damage boost against that bosses nemesis). •[b]BlackFactionGaming[/b]: (via YouTube comment) Add ability to "put back" an etching from your weapons history if removed (for reasons like removal by accident and/or you prefer it over the new etching. [i]Not applied to Perk Etchings if perk etchings were added[/i]). #DestinyIdeaShop
