Weapon & armor reforging
One of the things I miss most about the gunsmith is reforge. Year 2 players may be unaware as to what I'm referring to, so allow me to hell you not be a guardian confused by a bubble Titan in crucible (yes they exist, Titans do more than throw hammers.)
The gunsmith, during the last expansion of year 1, had an option that allowed us to reforge out weapons at a small fee. Reforging, in case you don't know, basically allows you to reroll your weapon or armor to find new perks. This was a godsend in destiny and took out a lot of grind time. Instead of constantly farming a certain weapon in hopes of the perfect roll, you could simply reset the weapon to try and find that perfect set up.
The downside was that it made it easier for everyone to get those annoying one shot sniper perks or increase their shotguns range... But nonetheless it was a great option that I was pissed to see go away in year 2.
With all the new shit being added, why take away things that made sense?
So I ask of you, the community, should they bring back reforging? And if they do, should it extend to armor as well? Should they help remove some of the grind, or should we get stuck spending countless hours looking for that perfect imago loop?
Edit: I'd like to add that I agree and disagree that it should just fade into the past and not come back. It was a great tool that saved us the trouble of finding all these weapons over and over again, but I do agree that it caused some major issues in pvp. Those issues though we're mostly due to over powered perks that were not balanced. Shot package and final round, to name the bigger issues, have been rebalanced. With that in mind I am all for a reforge 2.0 and hope if they bring it back they find a way to fix op perks or take them out of the equation. Entirely so as to not ruin pvp for everyone.

Shotties are still OP, so no. As much as i want everyone to have a conspiracy theory with rangefinde- OH WAIT, EVERYONE DOES. I hate shotguns enough, and as someone who snipes, they are the bane of my existence

7 RepliesI would like to see weapon reforging return and twist fate available to more than just exotic armor, what you said is very true the main problem is not the fact that reforging ruined the value of weapons and pvp but that they were added when weapons and perks still needed fine tuning to bring balance to the game. The way that I see it perks on gear should not be anything that gives you an advantage over someone (unless it's an exotic) but more along the lines give you a small boost to your gameplay. Let me provide an example, I would like Bungie to make shotguns a one shot kill when you are a melee range and at least one of the shells make a headshot, that way certain perks seem more appealing to give you a little extra like having full auto if you miss the headshot or close/ or personal so you could finish them off with a quick melee.

1 Replylook if they got rid of certain perk combinations or just the perks themselves (i.e pulse rifles with reactive reload and outlaw, shotguns with ridiculous range) but its better if its gone because it made all the weapons in layman's terms the same just reskinned but thats just my opinion really
