Bungie, I have been on and off this beautiful rollercoaster of a game since Destiny's first Beta and I've enjoyed even the worst pieces of content that you have put out for us. When some of my friends and even family members that play this game with me, commented on your stat changes and how drastic it would be, I sided along with you guys and told them how ridiculous they were reacting. Boy was I wrong. I'm not one of the biggest influences in this community, but to those of you that do read this, I hope you take what I'm saying into consideration.
My father asked me to help him run Vesper's Host so we can finish the Rogue Network quest for him, and I jumped onto his Xbox to help him. I swapped around his stats and made it to his Super and Grenade were above 100 each, while his Weapon stat was at 60. I would then run the activity solo and clear the entrance and first encounter flawlessly. However, upon hitting the 2nd encounter, that's where things always take a rough turn, especially now since the Stats have been changed.
First damage phase, I run in with a Hullabaloo with Vorpal (didn't have the Envious+ One For All on me), and it didn't do too much damage. That was when I opted for the [b]Gathering Storm, Star Eater, and Thunderlord combo[/b]. Second damage phase came and I was still on [b]60 Weapons for this phase, with 2 Arc Surges, and was only topping at 40 crit and 27 body per sho[/b]t. That, for me at least, was to be expected. So I corrected my mistake and then decided to swap out my Super stat for Weapons. 100 Weapon Stat and still had DOUBLE ARC SURGES on. Third damage phase came, and I was stunned to see that my damage with Thunderlord with 100 Weapon Stat and [b]DOUBLE ARC SURGES[/b], did the exact same numbers as 60 weapons with double surges 40 crit and 27 body.
This is only the first example of your terrible new stat system not working. Here is another from Crucible! On my account, which anyone can look at to confirm, my Warlock has a Weapon stat of 198. With your additive bonuses and me using Third Iteration, I should have (in Crucible) almost a 30% dmg increase. However, everyone I went against had lower Weapon stats than I did, and I was being outgunned by Outbreak, Phoneutria Fera, and even LEGACY WEAPONS. Now you might ask, "Well what was their stat compared to yours?" Great question, on average, they ranged from 20-125.
Bungie, I can't play a broken mess of a game that doesn't even cater to streamers anymore. What you're doing with a game I absolutely love and adore is sickening, and it's all for the sake of numbers. I hope you enjoyed reading my numbers.
TL;DR: Bungie's new stat system doesn't work right, and I don't know if they even care enough to fix it anymore. Thanks for reading if you read it all, if not I hope you can find a better game to play at this time, cause this one is not it anymore and that's sad.
