They don’t have to add a lot of gear. Just gear that is powerful enough and interesting enough to CHASE. And weapon retirement lets them do that without breaking the game.

[b]The Only Way Sunsetting Weapons Will Work[/b] Listen I’m not totally for or against sunsetting the legendary weapons I have used for months and even years at this point. But Bungie, you need to understand one thing. After sunsetting, if you continue to release similar guns with the same perks in the sandbox, this will be one of the biggest failures in Destiny history (You will be kissing your fan base goodbye). In this case players will just feel like they are grinding for the same guns they have already earned all over again. We should expect from you bungie, that after sunsetting, there will be a new and diverse meta in PvE and PvP. New perks, and I mean [i]a ton[/i] of new perks in all archetypes, so that weapons feel fresh and modern. In order to take our minds off our old gear and to ensure we aren’t banging our heads grinding for the same rolls we farmed for back in season of the drifter, we need new perks never seen before in destiny history. I’m thinking basically all vanilla D2 perks should be cut. Sorry, no outlaw, kill clip rampage etc. I’m ok if perks released in the past two seasons (vorpal, lead from gold, etc) are preserved because these perks have had shorter lifespan as. But only as long as there is a hefty pool of new perks. Boys if you don’t want power creep and you don’t want to regrind the same weapons, this is the solution. It will take a lot of work and creativity from bungie. That’s the point. We need fresh content, stuff that we can talk about and be excited for, stuff that we can test the viability and fit into our builds like the good old days when perks felt fresh. The rest of this post is open to your thoughts and perk suggestions you would like to see. Feel free to post ideas and if I like them I’ll add them. (I’m not feeling particularly creative right now 🤷‍♀️). [b]Perks!![/b] 1. Double Kills increase reload speed or partially reload mag. 2. Sprinting with gun in hand charges the gun, increases damage and/or adds AOE splash effect (set amount of sprint time required)(thinking like turning your primary into a hive boomer after sprinting a long time) 3. Using a class ability gives you a temporary period of infinite magazine size (restricted by reserves)(maybe cool on a shotgun or sniper) 4: Getting a precision kill temporarily slows nearby enemies (like firefly but adds slow effect instead of direct dmg) 5: Getting a melee kill temporarily buffs your weapons rate of fire to the next archetype (so a 750 smg would temporarily be buffed to 900 rpm) Not all perks have to be complex, they just have to be [i]different[/i] Edit I do not balance video games so And these perks will have to be balanced carefully around PvP that goes without saying.

I want sunsetting because this is only way something will change with this developer. After total disaster they more likely make some changes in their structure.

I find it funny how the same people who say destiny 1 is a great game are wanting to boycott sunsetting. A thing D1 did a lot 😂

[quote]There is no valid reason for this to be in the game unless they somehow manage to add in a lot of new gear.[/quote] They will most likely add a crapton of new weapons to make up for it. Unless they want to keep the end-content weapon pool easy to manage for buffs and nerfs. Still won't help the weapons we learned to like though.

It’s happening. You can kick, scream, cry, and complain all you want. It will still happen. Might as well stop complaining and either get ready for it or quit the game.

You know what's funny? In September, all gear from Seasons 1-8 will see the sunset. Now let's count how many swords have been released since Season 8. Right.... 1. And it's a year 1 reskin. Sounds legit. What about bows? Just 1. And it's a curated roll. Mhmm.

they been making items useless since every DLC , nothing new, if yall kept playing this long despite all the bad things (D2 downgrade , eververse, infusion cores , fortnite systems) , yall will swallow this up too and continue your hamster wheel journey

So how exactly do you boycott sun setting? By not playing? But you’re angry they gonna sun set your gear, shouldn’t you be put in patrol using your midnight coup and recluse if you love them so much?

[quote]There is no valid reason for this to be in the game unless they somehow manage to add in a lot of new gear. Want to know how many pulse riffles will be usable in season 12? Well, if we assume they add in another one in season 11, its 6 6 total How about gear sets? Well currently out of all gear sets in the game only 8% will be used in season 12 and thats not including duplicate gear. There is not enough gear in the game to allow something as stupid as this.[/quote] This is ridiculous. You guys boycott something every week. Chill out

Sunsetting means they want to make the guardians uniform - wear the same armor and use the same weapons - like a fascist rule. There will no longer be any diversity or individuality, only conformity and singularity. I refuse to partake in this oppression of our freedom to play as we want, with the armor we want and the weapons we want.

LOL I have heard this every-time something the community doesn’t like yet here we are

Just a video game! Maybe everyone should put their energy in real life / world issues 🤔

There will only be 1 machine gun if they do not add anymore...

#BoycottBoycotts

They made up their minds long ago and nothing we do will change it.
