Just so you know, exotic class items are being automatically updated to the new system. They’re being given stats that mesh with their perks. (Verity will likely have high grenade, Star Eater = Super, etc) And if you log on before the expansion drops, you’ll get 20 vouchers to focus exotic armor with whichever stats you want - through the new system they’re giving Ada-1 in the tower.

That's actually just as terrible as the rest of this new system. They should allow us to put whatever stats we want on those, basically like it was already. Using my warlock as an example, under the current system I focus on resilience, recovery and grenade and I sure af don't want my class item having a high intelligence stat, even my rolls with star eater. Supers build back fast enough, especially with raid banners and how easy it is to generate orbs. I have no idea how I'm gonna be building my characters in edge of Fate, especially considering I cancelled my pre order and strongly doubt I'll decide to ever come back after it's released, but I know I won't be investing in super. If exotic class items are getting random stats assigned to them based on their perks, that's going to royally f*ck up pretty much every build I have that uses them, moreso for my titan/hunter. I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way. But I'm way more angry about the weapons part. This new system is 100% sunsetting just with a different name. I also detest what they're doing with the new power levelling system, especially with older weapons - essentially making them even more useless on top of the tier system. And that's before the absolutely insane amount of grinding they're adding. What they should've done is come out with a system that lets us enhance older guns up to tier 5 (minus the extra column 3-4 perks of course), similar to current enhancement but requiring more mats, even if it costs hundreds of enhancement cores/prisms/whatever's. That would've kept everyone happy and still made the newer weapons more appealing (not absolutely f*CKING required) but also not make the last few years of investment completely irrelevant. Bungie is now doubling down on everything that makes their players hate them, proving that they really don't listen to us at all, and didn't learn anything from their previous sunsetting mistakes, or just never gave a s#!t to begging with. They wouldn't have come up with all this if they listened to even an ounce of player (non-streamer) feedback in the last 5 years. They've moved way beyond toxic and I can no longer support a company like that. They only care and respond when sales are bad, which they've done many times in the past (gamergate, free bright dust, etc) so I'm now voting with my wallet and everyone else should too.

But at the same time, stats are changing. Resilience is becoming health - and is once again the worst stat. Mobility and Int are becoming Weapons and Super - 2 of the strongest. I wish they were introducing this, but I’m willing to bet it’ll be coming with Revenant -> [quote]What they should've done is come out with a system that lets us enhance older guns up to tier 5 (minus the extra column 3-4 perks of course), similar to current enhancement but requiring more mats, even if it costs hundreds of enhancement cores/prisms/whatever's. [/quote] Most of your weapons are not going to be completely useless for a long time - in a similar capacity to what happened in Witch Queen. We’re not going to get replacements for every single meta weapon for a good while, or at least not at any faster of a rate than it would normally. Also if it makes a difference, we’re getting 700 free bright dust per week until edge of fate like we got in into the light. It sounds like you need a break and are looking for an excuse to do so. Breaks are necessary. They’ve been extremely beneficial for my relationship with the game.
