The thought crossed my mind while farming for the trials shotgun.

just wait until the dlc drops and some big, but negative change is revealed that bungie conveniently isn't telling us about.

I'm hanging on to everything cos it looks like Marathon will flop so I'm hoping more resources will be ploughed into Destiny later on down the line 🤞🤞

What ticks me off about this revamp is threefold: 1.) The first is that it fixes nothing, assuming there's even a problem in the first place. Bungie claims that every new armor set is "pointless" because of the stat system, but instead of making new armor that gives you a reason to want it beyond simple stats (or even beyond transmog), their answer is to... cosmetically change the stat system and release new armor that works exactly like the old armor, except with different names for the stats and an "overflow" stat boost that will become impossible to balance. This will result in reaching the same point we are today -- people will have the armor they need for their builds and new armor will become pointless because once you have the right stats, anything that doesn't fit those stats can't be utilized anymore. It will just take a few months, but it kicks the can down the road; something Bungie loves to pretend is that handing the problem to someone else "fixes" it. 2.) The second is that this is just "soft sunsetting." They were already doing this somewhat with reprised versions of weapons and FOMO-driven event weapon drops that would often powercreep the old version in some capacity. You can tell Bungie never really wanted to get rid of the concept of sunsetting and they've successfully been able to rebrand it as "reprisal" for awhile now. Armor isn't getting that same "courtesy." Every piece of your armor becomes obsolete once the update hits and they fully expect you to delete all/most of it that isn't being used to grind the new stuff. Once again, this is Bungie trying to sunset something while calling it something else, which leads me to... 3.) This is a huge slap in the face of the veteran players, but that's par for the course when it comes to Bungie. What they're [i]actually [/i]mad about isn't that armor is "pointless to grind for," it's that veteran players don't have to grind for anything outside of transmog because they've been playing long enough to get enough armor to make any build they want to mess around with effectively. This is a way to [i]force [/i]veteran players back onto the hamster wheel that they were able to successfully remove themselves from, and to me, that's the biggest kick in the teeth of all. To Bungie, you're never supposed to be able to get off that wheel, and in at least one aspect of the game, old players were able to. Not anymore. Get on that wheel, Guardian, at least for another year before this exact same scenario we have today returns and we do this dance all over again, anyway.

I’m just not doing it myself. This is another restart just like Lightfall where they are going to start off in a really bad spot and try to make adjustments after the fact. Remember legendary Avalon being nerfed a massive 33% and it still sucked. No thanks I won’t buy another Destiny experiment until I know they’ve started hiring competent people

Listen if people want a Destiny 3....This is it. Throw everything in the trash and start over. That's what everyone's been asking for. Or.... Look at the patterns over the last 2 years.... [b]Weapons getting updated into the new system,[/b] (By far the most important part of the game...the weapons above all else) They've shown us time & time again that they can update existing weapons in our vaults & inventory over the new systems....(weapons becoming enhanceable) Examples: Into the light weapons....Igneous hammer, Cataphract, Riptide, Heliocentric.....All weapons that started out as just regular.....updated to become enhanceable when Final Shape & other events launched. (Worse case scenario: Beyond light only sunset weapons to a point. (so season 10 & 11 were still usable)) ____________________ Focus on the weapons. Get the Rite of the Nine weapons 100%. There is a good chance they could carry over to the new system because they are the newest. [b]Better to have weapons in your vault than not have them at all.[/b] Vault management 101. _________________________ As for armor. The new system will be better. As long as they make 100 resil mobilty & recovery the default (as it always has been for years) Removing these [b]Necessity[/b] dump stats can be such a huge W. And gaining ability damage, Weapon damage, super damage....Health on orb pickup...just on stats alone is a very solid improvement.... EVERY stat point mattering! On top of Set Bonuses being permanent artifact perks on our armor....That can open the doors for a lot of things. Bungie just has to deliver on the QoL. But the room for expansion is there. They just have to make good use of it. But what am i saying they can't possibly over-deliver amirite!???

Weapons are still worth grinding. Bungie has stated that the weapons we’re getting now are around a tier 3. Your weapons aren’t going to be useless overnight. The real difference between tier is minor boosts to stats (like the stat bump Adepts get when fully masterworked). Just don’t grind armor. The new event has 0 new armor for that reason. Collect the designs for dresstiny, and that’s about it.

Who isn’t going to play GTA6? /s

The new weapons aren’t gonna make the old weapons obsolete. I guarantee you 99% of players will never notice the difference between enhanced origin and mag perks and non enhanced. Most enhanced perks don’t do anything anyways. You’re being dramatic.

Everything you have now will become useless. They want you to start from scratch but will make you think it was your decision and charge you for it, and most will thank them for it

Agreed. I am enjoying playing older games again because of this. Forgot how fun Outriders was as far as gunplay and abilities!

The problem is Destiny 2 got way too many issues that ruins it especially weapons That's why I stop Raiding and doing dungeons because there's literally no point grinding this game too hard because we are literally on our Third to forth reissue of some weapons that even I'm getting sick of seeing not to mention you can get ok to even better weapons from the season pass and vendors then the dungeons and raids all do to having a unique origin trait WOW We lost the meaning of what made players do Raids it was broken weapons and crossing the lvl cap
