Fun things Bungie removed that weren't broken
Phogoth strike
Nexus strike
Elemental primaries
Max light level guaranteed on endgame drops
100 rep bounties
Weekly heroic strikes for coins and rep
Class items being cosmetic (no light)
Sniper reserve ammo (PvE)
Nightfall flaming head
Original PvP matchmaking
[Edit] for community additions!
Solar wind on teammates
Shooting your foot in water for "splash" damage
Nightfall buff
Daily public event reward
Sepiks Prime strike
Field scout mag bonus
Hand cannon accuracy
8 orb supers
Sparrow surfing
And even though it was overpowered as hell, I definitely miss the Gjallarhorn...
[Edit 2]
I see a lot of people arguing that elemental primaries promoted less loadout variety. I disagree. I had a lot more variety in my arsenal in Year 1 than I do now, where the solution to everything is the Hung Jury.
Elemental damage was never overpowered. It was only good for burns and enemy shields of the same type. Not game breaking, but it gave certain weapons a purpose. Like my old void Jewel of Osiris I never would have used otherwise with its average perks. They should never have removed that extra variable that people like to have on certain loadouts.
Lets put it this way, if Bungie added a solar hand cannon, arc pulse rifle, and void scout rifle to the Challenge of Elders, do you think people wouldn't want to add them to their arsenal?

How about Nightfall fun factor? Nightfalls used to be fun. Now though...I think laggy Crucible matches are more enjoyable.

4 RepliesThe Black Hammer's "exotic" perk... We have the exotic now, where's the original perk?

Exactly on elemental primaries. All I use is hung jury. No reason to use anything else. TTK took way more from us than it added, it's a shame.

Not sure why everyone complained about elemental weapons. I primarily used them for PVE over PVP. People wanting variety and dropping elemental was a joke. When one item gets nerfed another will rise. Every time Bungie has done weapon balance updates there's always a new trending gun. If you don't follow suit you get crushed. Basically the main reason i prefer to not play PVP. "*Note I'm horrible at PVP but do enjoy playing it every now and then. Occasionally I do have badass games but most games I'm garbage." I think they need to find a better way to balance weapon behavior between PVE & PVP. As far as the strikes I couldn't agree more. Every strike should be ran through every strike playlist. I think what we need is another weapon on the same caliber as the Gjallarhorn. Literally the G-horn was the last Exotic item from Vanilla that I received before The Dark Below. I used to do every event with all three characters to try and receive this beauty. The thrills it gave people who gained it and the hate from those that fell short again. There's not really any item that makes these emotions happen in the community. I'm still hopefull for the future just the current state is really dark.

7 RepliesI have been summoned [spoiler]btw elemental primaries weren't broken, you just always saw the same few loadouts for everything fatebriger/vision Hammer Ballerhorn please Please feel free to add more but this is mostly what I saw, and I can say I was guilty of this[/spoiler]
-
Yes. All of it
-
I just want my reputation booster from doing nightfalls
-
anyone who says primary elementals were overpowered, clearly never played Borderlands. Please tell me how it makes sense for Year 1 primaries to be able to use them but not Year 2 lol. Makes no damn sense.

2 RepliesI want all of them back. If you disagree with elemental primaries, let's chat.

1 ReplyPretty sure this is how elemental primaries felt when Bungie removed them.
-
1 ReplyI miss being able to do 'hard' versions of story missions or strikes. I remember the hard version of Sepiks prime strike being tough as hell. Trying to shoot sepiks while dealing with an army of adds was challenging.
-
For all that say that elemental primaries were broken, think about this idea look how you get chromas and can attach them, now imagine you could do this with say the an elemental material; gained from some kind of endgame activitie. this opens the possibility for your favorite primaries, not just raid guns to become pve first choice. Also elements have no effect on pvp unless someone is using a swords shield ability.

2 RepliesDancing on the sparrow while driving it. I mean... come on!

I'm with you I miss those old strikes and all of what you just said lol

5 RepliesI definitely had more variety when we had elemental primaries. Sure, I used Fatebringer a lot due to it being an inherently good and strong gun, but the burn was just an extra topping that made it more sweet. Nightfalls were a lot more fun, too, and the old burns/frequency of them made you want to use different sets accordingly. Playing a hive mission? Use Vision of Confluence or Abyss Defiant. Fallen? Fatebringer or Fang of Ir Yut. Playing a vex mission and you absolutely hate minotaurs? Atheon's Epilogue (pre nerf of course) and Will of Crota. This was definitely a bigger variety than today, which is find one gun and then infuse everything into it.

I love solar wind on teammates, When they went AFK I would smack them off a cliff

5 RepliesElemental primary's were fine. The problem was that they just made all the VoG guns god their so people just wanted them.

Edited by sm1240: 4/27/2016 1:59:15 PMI agree with you on of this, especially the elemental primaries. And before anyone bring up the old "Elemental Primaries were broken crap" Really think back in year one there were TWO non-boss enemies that had arc shields Fallen Captains and Hive Knights and the knights only had them during the Nightfall. The Arc damage almost never came into play unless it was against either of these two enemies or an Arc Burn Nightfall. Fatebringer was not mostly used due to it's arc damage but due to its GODLY perk roll. Outlaw, firefly, and field scout was perfect, there was nothing better than that for hand cannons then. Sure you can try and farm for the Imago Loop, but getting that same perk roll is nearly impossible. Not to mention that the only bosses you can get this gun from are really tedious to farm. That's why people aren't running around with Loops not because it doesn't have arc it's because the grind for isn't worth the time.

1 ReplyI feel like elementary primaries weren't broken it's just the VOC was REALLY Good like the actual best weapon type at the time. I think they should bring them back but mix it up not make them blatantly OP then say Oh people use these guns too much NERF NERF NERF. Actually isn't how they solve all their problems? Just NERF it and be done with it?
-
2 RepliesMost of the things you've listed were broken and I'm glad they've gone. The strikes never should've gone, I can agree with you on that, but most of the rest of them were broken in one way or another. The fact that you now only use hunt jury does not mean weapon variety isn't now greater than it was. Bungie look at the telemetry and they know that in pve there is a much greater variety of primary weapons used now than there was when we had elemental primary weapons.
-
All goes back to previous gen restricting us. They want more vault space, well you have to eliminate certain things to free up memory. I wish everything went back to day one of destiny. All the weapons and all the strikes. Screw this game. Super boring. Didn't even attempt to play the new update because I know you eventually hit a plateau and have nothing to do for months.
-
yep, look out for the hung jury nerf coming soon, since it's primarily used.
