[quote]What is really happening is Bungie is taking your weapon and putting it in another part of the game, changing he skin and making you regrind it.[/quote]
That has been happening for 4 years.....and it is the problem that Bungie is trying to fix.
THIS is the price that the game has paid for allowing you to keep your gear, drag it around wherever you go....and endlessly level it up.
The game's loot table has become bloated...and Bungie has been painted into the corner of giving the same weapons over and over again. Just with different skins.
While retiring weapons is not an automatic fix to the problem, it is a NECESSARY one if you're going ot create room in the game for Bungie to make more powerful, more creative guns.
Because right now, EVERYTHING they put into the game stays forever....and when they design new content they have to consider what impact THREE years worth of weapons will have ont eh game, and what impact ALL the possible builds will have on it.

[quote]While retiring weapons is not an automatic fix to the problem, it is a NECESSARY one if you're going ot create room in the game for Bungie to make more powerful, more creative guns.[/quote] I don't think more powerful weapons are coming. If more powerful weapons were coming they wouldn't have to retire anything because people would naturally gravitate to the more powerful weapons. Basically, this is just a way to nerf everything that was released within a certain time window without actually nerfing anything. I think for weapon retirement to even have a chance of working out they will need to continually come up with new, exciting perks to replace the ones on the retiring weapons. Its going fail spectacularly if its just a continual grind for a "new" weapon that has the exact same perks as the retired weapon it's replacing, which is simply recycling old content disguised as new loot.

Can this be pinned to the top of the forums? The community is back on its "this is the worst thing ever it will kill destiny bungie what are you doing" if you've seen one forum fire i suppose you've seen them all. 2 weeks of the sky falling and then we'll be back to normal with little complaints once they relize that recluse and mountain top are the main targets of this weapon change

Pretty much this. Agreed this needs to be pinned. Everyone is making it seem like their world is going to end when this change happens. These are the same players that will complain if bungie does nothing and the game gets worse and loot becomes even more bloated.

This kind of thinking gave us 2 primaries on d2y1, very easy to balance, almost no power creep and bland and boring as f...

Editado por Azubu: 3/4/2020 7:39:22 PMThanks for your forum logic as per the usual. Destiny year 2 and 3 were the slow removal of special weapons from pvp. After the forums complaining about invective and icebreaker that got around the change. Had they been, say able to retire these weapons would, i imagine, would have fixed people being able to cheese special ammo. But i guess 1,200 hours in destiny one taught me nothing [spoiler] a brain is wonderful tool, but as my parents said growing up "use it or lose it" i suppose that fits here KEKW [/spoiler]

....and bland.

Thank you kelly for coherent thoughts.

Finally, someone who can look at it from both sides. My only hope is that Bungie uses this opportunity to introduce not only new weapons, but new weapon archetypes - e.g., instead of 110/140/150/180 HCs, they add 130/160/190, with appropriate stat scaling. It'd be nice for them to simplify the loot pool a bit and play to the different archetypes' strengths (something they already appear to be doing with shotguns).
