That is the worst idea ever. With that, I'll just keep the Affinity that drops with the armor, or just infuse it. Why waste all those materials? Why not just require some glimmer and cores? I don't understand this logic at all. I really wish we could see what happens at your meetings when you decide whats best for the game. It seems like everyone writes an idea and puts it in a hat and Luke Smith draws one out. Then he's like, "Sounds good to me."

Still waiting for the TWAB where they announce the deletion of mountaintop. Rocket launcher/shotgun using special ammo. Most BS weapon ever.

I was happy about the element swapping until I realized the cost. The cost should be nominal like glimmer and maybe an upgrade module. That's all. It's shouldn't be so punishing to adjust your favorite armor for a certain activity or loadout. Unfortunately, nothing about this is going to get me playing more.

What a crock of shit again....Destiny 2 you are in a bad place at the moment....MW keeping me entertained...along with a shit ton of other games...check you next week...crimson days is lame...

No no no no no! We don’t want to be able to change element affinity, we don’t want the bloody affinities AT ALL. Jesus h Christ. This is what you guys took out of all the negative feedback on the hated armour 2.0 system? Unbelievable. Good lord I’m glad that I have not wasted the effort to masterwork a single piece of armour.

I’m not understanding why people are complaining about the affinity change. If you need Arc, and you have solar and void pieces, there are a finite number of scenarios that may ensue. 1) you wait for a good arc piece, and then pay to upgrade. 2) you change the affinity of existing piece, pay to upgrade, and then pay... oh my! It’s actually worse than folks are complaining about. Changing affinity may actually cost double! One for the changed piece and one for its replacement. The only way it equates to the materials cost of getting the piece you want from rng, is if you have two of the same, [b]existing[/b] affinities already fully upgraded. wow.

Affinity changes seem to be a step in the right direction, but I'm getting tired of steps. So many good things were scrapped for newer "better" features, and they're still not as good as we once had, just... Different. I wish you lot would come up with a genuinely good, fully baked, and competent system, instead of continually tweaking the horrendously flawed bases you keep creating. So many times you'll come out with a new system with such glaring flaws that it's clear that either you have no real gameplan for how these systems will work, or you are actively trying to suck fun out of the game, and only give us things we ask for out of spite. Neither option is good and both are extremely worrying. Same can be said of the seasonal mod system changes. I see a lot of confusion on the boards on how this will really work. Will it be limited to the handful of seasons you mentioned? Will there be an arbitrary limit placed on armor, so at max any piece can only handle one prior, the present, and one in the future, before they are relegated to the vault? What about raid and nightmare mods? What about the older mods? I feel, as I often do when I read these TWABs, that topics as important as these should be discussed in much more depth, with more clarity. Perhaps in a more open format like a stream with community interaction where you can demonstrate the changes in again and take questions, instead of the few sentences you chuck our way on Thursdays and then either ignore for a while, or chase your own tails spread across numerous Twitter posts and Reddit threads. Yet again, we need a place where ALL information, clarifications, announcements, and interactions can be accessed. It's exhausting chasing you lot across the web, just trying to learn about this game, particularly when we have a place here in the forums, on the app you pitched to us all those years ago as being the thing that would bring the game together. I know this place is like YouTube comments, and the trolls outnumber the genuine comments, but still... Use this place. Treat it kindly, and I'm sure you could turn it around. I understand there are limitations when it comes to development, and you've got an entire studio's worth of cooks in the kitchen, so it may be difficult to have a singular and cohesive direction. But I do not understand how you can be so painfully oblivious to the REAL feedback we've been giving, and continually come up with all these half measures, blatant begrudged adjustments, and retread ground we've been over time and time again, every time! We want to have fun, we're telling you these systems aren't fun. Stop creating edits to the flawed base, when the base is the problem. For instance, last week you told us about sword changes. Along with setting the homes of the speedrun community on fire, I've seen very little in the way of positivity about these changes. The changes ignore all the feedback we've been giving for years about swords in D2 and will not fix the base problems, instead they will add more complication and systems to a flawed base. This will not make us enjoy swords any more than we currently do and instead will just add another thing to complain about in the already flawed base when it inevitably does nothing but change things just for the sake of change instead of actual benefit. Original flaws like atrocious lunge range, hilariously bad targeting, poor damage, limited ammo, unjustifiable "heavy" placement, stomp attacks on every enemy larger than a dreg, etc, will not be addressed. But hey, let's limit heavy attacks, and make combat more interesting/engaging by letting people spam light attacks infinitely! Yay, thanks much Daddy Bungo! I don't want to hear that you and others think affinity is important because mUh pEeVeEpEe BaLaNcE, when you think it's quite alright to give us things like Crimson Doubles, Arc Battery, One eyed, Tonics, Exotic perks on legendary fusions, etc. I don't want to hear that you and others think we should have a hard limit on loot, and have to have our toys broken so we'll be interested in the new ones, when all those years ago you sold us on the dream of a journey, of becoming legend. Make it cool. Make it fun. Make it shiny. Make it sexy. We'll be here, we'll want it, we'll play, and most importantly, we'll buy.

I left the game and this forum but I just had to come back and laugh at you for this. The entire cost of upgrading the armour +1 upgrade module. You are a joke.

Well, The ability to switch is finally here, 6 months too late with a cost that’s too high so no one will use it... again. If you’re so afraid of people using too potent of OP builds, then why make mods in the first place? “Make a monster killing machine, but nothing too lethal”. I much preferred Forsaken armor stats with ornaments.
