CAUTION TO ALL CONTINUING PLAYERS!

[quote]You may infuse this gear by imbuing it with another gear's power, dismantling the other gear in the process. The dismantled gear must be unlocked, not currently equipped, and of the same Year and gear slot, a similar quality, and higher level then the current gear.[/quote] The above text is the word-for-word description for infusion. If you noticed what I noticed then we both see an issue, if you did not then notice how it says "of the same Year and gear slot". This leads me to believe that year 3 will be continuing the trend of leaving behind the previous gear and guns. Before anybody decides to quote Deej, Cosmo, or any other source, let me finish my train of thought. Infusion was introduced in year 2 with much enthusiasm, however ranking up said gear through the system was a pain due to the system not being 1-1. With the April update (I believe) the system was changed from its previous state to a 1-1 ratio, and this was much welcomed. Before hand I said not to quote any bungie representatives because I to have seen the Rise of Iron (RoI) trailer and twitch streams. During the reveals and streams the hosts said (but I won't quote) that destiny will keep it infusion system. This statement does not specify (or debunk) that current gear will be left behind, however the description in-game says not cross-year infusion. With the new information at hand (that's not new but in a different light) the question is presented "should we start horsing gear and guns?" Personally I couldn't care less either way, but knowing this community (and I'm still new I've been playing for less then a month) there will be outrage. If you would "bump" this and up-vote it to bring attention to the situation that would be wonderful! Edit- I just got a notification saying cozmo (Cosmo?) just liked the post. It was a comment so I can't be sure if it is true or not. Either way I would like to update anybody who reads this on how I'm doing. It's been a little over a month since I started and I'm loving this game and it's community, however it seems that on the forums the player base is very different then in game. Thanks for reading my post and all of the speculation along with it.

    [quote]This leads me to believe that year 3 will be continuing the trend of leaving behind the previous gear and guns.[/quote] Bungie apparently understands your concerns (they are getting better at this) and have said the infusion system we have now will continue with Rise of Iron. [quote]There'll be no changes to infusion. We introduced that with Taken King and I think it's something players have really loved. So anything from Taken King will be able to be infused up to the new Light level, and it'll work the same way.[/quote] [url=http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-22-bungie-were-trying-to-build-destiny-content-quicker]http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-22-bungie-were-trying-to-build-destiny-content-quicker[/url] Bungie is also being more careful setting player expectations. [quote]We're not really using the moniker 'Year Three,' and I think that's kind of intentional, because Year Two — the reason we went there was to sort of very clearly signal to players that we were going to make overhauls, right? Like, the Light system got overhauled. The way we told story in The Taken King got overhauled. The way we served quests and let people hunt for gear saw huge improvements, based on the player feedback from Year One.[/quote] [url=http://www.polygon.com/features/2016/7/5/12079326/destiny-rise-of-iron-preview-interview]http://www.polygon.com/features/2016/7/5/12079326/destiny-rise-of-iron-preview-interview[/url]
