[quote]And yet you just proved my point with your opening comment; Destiny 2 will apparently have an entirely new ecosystem, leaving this one behind, compounding my point: for new content to be relevant, the old content has to become somewhat irrelevant, at least.[/quote] Not that you don't have a point, but I hardly think I proved anything that you were arguing. Destiny 2 is a [i]new game[/i], so of course Bungie will, and [i]should[/i] move on. But [i]this[/i] is still the SAME GAME, regardless of how long it's been out. [quote]Everyone that I knew, and every video I saw of Skolas completion, was using Gjallarhorn to burn him in 30 seconds or less to avoid the difficulty of the mechanics in that match.[/quote] As far a Skolas (and many of the other PoE bosses) are concerned, I totally agree with you. Gjally was immensely overused, and definitely took away from the purity of a lot of the HoW endgame. However, [i]in general[/i], I still stand by my statement that gear diversity in HoW was at an all-time high, across [i]all[/i] gamemodes, in not in the PoE. [quote]When HoW dropped, people were getting to max level in a day. With TTK, there's hardly anyone max level even after a month. They've made it harder this time. That's a good thing.[/quote] Dude, despite what you might think, I [b]110%[/b] agree with you on this, holy crap. Despite my general love for most of what HoW brought to the table, the effort to get to 34 was abysmally minimal. If [i]anything[/i], I think the one thing I can fully get behind in TTK is the effort it takes to get to max level; it doesn't seem quite as brutal as Vanilla was, but it still makes max levels feel like an [i]achievement.[/i]

  • Definitely agree with you that weapon diversity was higher in HoW. And man, I miss my weapons too. Fatebringer was my go to primary for PVE and I was uber accustomed to it. But at the same time, I'm enjoying TTK a lot more than HoW. I like that I need to update all my gear; I can see the logic in this direction.

  • I just think that TTK would have perfected what HoW [i]wanted[/i] to be, if it had simply included Year 1 in the Infusion system. It would retain the positives from HoW (like gear diversity, and activity relevance), but would remove most of the negative aspects (by nerfing OP gear like Gjally, and making the level cap more respectable). Again, I'm not saying I don't want to use [i]new[/i] weapons, but HoW proved (in my opinion) that players [i]do not[/i] need to be forced to move on in order to experience new content. And, thanks to all the 2.0 patches/nerfs, I think that would be ever MORE true in the TTK Meta, since weapons like Gjally no longer break the system like they did before, if that makes sense. :P Even if Infusing Year 1 gear took 2-3x more effort than Year 2, I still think it'd be worth it, because even if you don't care about the [i]gear[/i], it seems like a massive shame to leave all those [i]activities[/i] behind.
