Perhaps the Gunsmith should smith guns?
Dear Bungie,
I'm not in a coder. I am but a humble dude who dominates video games humbly. I'm not going to pretend to tell you guys what is and isn't possible. I just don't have that skill for details. However, this is the feedback thread, where we can talk to you, and put forth concerns, or ideas. Well, I have an idea.
The gunsmith, Banshee, is an awesome dude, who knows his guns inside and out. I think he should show us. I would like for the gunsmith to actually smith me some guns. Now, I don't mean from scratch, and then name it and all that, but I would like to be able to change some perks for my gun, and I want Banshee to do it for me.
For example, say I have an auto rifle that has decent stability, but it also has an increase stability perk. I would like to be able to go to the gunsmith, and change it for another perk, say over-penetration. This would allow players to customize their Guardian's weapons, customize their play style, and all around make the game more enjoyable because of that "glove fit" guardian. For example, every day, or every week, the gunsmith could sell different perks that we can switch out for perks we may not want, or may not need. This would be similar to how Xur does his thing, I guess. Also, this "upgrade", if you will, would allow for a chance to take pre-DLC ledgendaries, and upgrade the damage on them. Banshee is a gunsmith after all, he know's how to get us more bang for our bucks. (EDIT: For legendary weapons only.)
I think it would be cool of you guys to allow this to happen. Implementation would be a coding issue, I know. It's just a thought that I thought the rest of the community could get behind. You guys probably get all kinds of crap for stupid little things, so I appreciate your patience and time (Haha) if one of you at Bungie were to read this.
Thanks,
Dr. Chillyhands
P.S. Maybe a poll would help show the opinion of the community on this matter?

1 ReplyThey're doing it! The Gunsmith is rerolling gun perks for HoW. All it takes is asking nicely!

A little OP but if it was expensive enough then it would be okay
-
He could sell some weapon telemetries, like xur selling them for the sparrows
-
I would like to see Banshee-44 have more relevance. And I have hoped that Bungie will allow him to reroll perks like the Iron Banner representative.

Yes Please! With A Side Of Fu ck Yeah! ψ(｀∇´)ψ

1 ReplyI think Smith or ghost should be able to retrieve gun plans. Take broken down guns and reforge them. As long as you've looted that gun, with those perks, you can reforge any way you'd like. But only with perks you've found, or ever found, on that gun. IE say you break down hand cannon with firefly and outlaw. You find same gun with different perks. You break both down, But now you can craft the gun and choose from any of the perks It's already had. Sound good?

Technically they could (and probably should) do something like this, admittedly it should be a bounty or something harder to stop people from abusing it. For some silly reason Bungie has coded the weapons oddly, making the gunsmith have perks for sale is easy, though for some silly reason their weapon perk check is odd, probably due to the way they want it to apply the bonuses. Customisable perks would probably break their perk checks resulting in broken weapons and for the time would be a pain in the ass to recode. For those who want to try and refer me to iron banner, those are are already accepted variations of the weapon, I am saying you could put conflicting perks on and break weapons or just make op. Could you imagine where some one had re-perked a rocket launcher so that it had "kills with this weapon return ammo directly to magazine" with "rounds aggressively track targets" and "random round does way more damage". Yes, it can be done, yes they should do it, they just have to be really careful.

Everything's should have the ability to get re-rolled except exotics and raid weapons

2 RepliesCan't believe people are still bumping this. Pay attention, Bungie! :)

But how many guns would the gunsmith smith if the gunsmith could smith guns? [spoiler]It doesn't matter, because you still wouldn't know why you have to use them.[/spoiler]

3 RepliesI want this, but at the same time it would just lead to everyone having the exact same perks on every useful weapon. Never underestimate the power of the min/maxer drive.

Thanks all for the support. And those who don't support, thanks for bumping. :D

But, OP; that would make sense to have a Gunsmith actually smith guns. As we've all seen for 6+ months, Bungie doesn't do "sensible" anymore. They let go of that shit when they signed with Acti$hit. Now they're all about milking you for money while giving you the lowest quality product possible. Hence why the Gunsmith apparently has no idea how to make/modify a gun...
-
I agree. Allow perk changes. A gunsmith fixes and changes. As far as I can tell, this guy is a Walmart checkout guy selling terrible guns and ammo packs. Not sure how that makes him a smith....,

Edited by The Dude: 3/18/2015 7:54:44 PMWhy can't retrieve broken down guns from the smith? Reclaim them broken down weapons. The factions are the hardest to collect...and keep! (As for code generation, might be best to tag item when broken down with a Id#. Maybe give us a grimmy card for said item with unique Id#, to reproduce the real rng...perk rolls. Then you inspect the card, and all your Id#'s associated with that item are in cards subtext. Clicking an id, leads to option to send to Smith for reclamation.)

1 ReplyBump Also, at some point it would be cool if he could sell sights, skins, and other customization for your weapon.
-
And a woodchuck should chuck wood. But we're talking Bungie here.
-
Bump. Here's an idea.
-
Awesome please make a poll about this!
-
All they would have to do is exclude exotics and maybe raid weapons all others can be modified as long as the perk you want found on other weapons types i.e scout rifles have fire fly and pulse rifles have full auto ability and full auto of anything else wouldn't be practical
