Never thought I’d make this post

Today I watched a Bungie stream that openly spit in the face of their paying customers (by far not the first) Months before beyond light we were told sunsetting was a necessity for the health of the game, I watched as weapons I spent 100’s of hours grinding for became irrelevant, and now they are the excitement of the future as your boot licking streamers make videos in excitement about their return. For example, I’m no pvp god by any means so much so that me and my Service Revolver (probably the only time I’ve actually ran a positive kd) went head to head with meta Lunas Howl for months grinding wins that barely gave me rank only to lose two to three times as much with a loss. Only to finally get it after it had been nerfed and changed to a 140. But, I was proud because my arthritis riding hands finally did it. Last week I decided to play trials for a new Summoner (which I rarely play because I know my place in this game) Only to find out it’s locked behind (must be unlocked in collection despite having two previous versions I’ve grinded for each time in my vault). But the killer for me is Midnight Coup, by far my favorite from og D2, 40,292 kills I have on it and now I’m expected to grind for it again when you’ve removed the content that’s the reason it even exists. Shadow of its former self. FU straight up. Your business practices are truly unbelievable even after all the apologies, layoffs and threats of being taken over by Sony, and the we must do better post. After 7 years I’ve officially uninstalled D2 and yes this is my airport and I’m announcing my departure. Why because Bungie deserves everything that’s happening to them. Despite everything they continue to do the same with promises of change but actually don’t. Your motto seems to be throw this nostalgic stuff at them to make them happy, I’m only now realizing what 90% of my friends list that used to play this game before sunset realized then and stopped playing simply because of your charades and bad business practices. I’m not going to engage your reply’s against my thoughts. This is how I feel, keep being a sheep and throwing money at the screen. FTP (the downfall of D2) makes any argument irrelevant to me at this point because some of us worked our -blam!- off irl to be able to play this game and Bungie didn’t give af. Edit: By changing Rampage on Breakneck to Subsistence and also making all the year one weapons that had different burns all match the same as what is in collections, they've proven it's possible to bring the originals back with updates.

  • I understand where you are coming from and no offense or anything but let me ask you a question. If midnight coup was not sunset would you still be using it today? In PvP perhaps it may be viable but probably not because it's stats and set perks are far inferior compared to the hand cannons available today such as eyasluna. What about Pve? Sure outlaw rampage was great back in the day but try running it in a GM or even legend story missions or the coil and it probably won't be too good. Sure it may have been fun to break out for nostalgas sake every now and then but certainly it would not have been a main part of your arsenal. Then when it was re-released most likely you would have gotten the new one with updated stats and rolls and you could have used it in just about all content. So the old one would essentially have collected dust in your vault. If you like midnight coup, you should be happy that you can get a new one with updated perks and stats and can put even more kills on it. As for the grind, it is a looter shooter after all and the grind has never been easier. We all lost stuff in sensetting but ultimately I do believe it did more good for the game then bad as it essentially allowed us to start over. Hope you come back and get a God roll on the new midnight coup friend. Ggs.
