In my opinion, getting lucky with the very few chances we had or buying with real money does not equate to “earned”.
I’m glad they’re bringing the ship back for people who got the RNG shaft or who don’t want to feed the Microtrans slot machine.

Sorry dude but we earned that ship by grinding our faces off on 3 characters during the year one moments of triumph. There was no RNG involved. Guessing you weren’t around for Y1 Moments of Triumph because if you were you would of known that we earned that ship.

I remember busting my butt on that armor, only to see it get squashed the first day forsaken was dropped. If you didnt feel upset when that happened then you shouldn't be upset with the ship dropping.

The extra power level was just a brief diversion while we waited for Forsaken. Everyone knew the light cap was getting raised. The ship was for people who wanted to show their dedication, and was far more time consuming than getting one set of 400 gear. Now its reskinned into a Christmas ship, without any forewarning. That’s definitely something to gripe about.

Nobody cared about the extra power level. It didnt make anything in the game that much easier. But to not put the armor on because it's no longer relevant is much more of a reason to gripe then bungie skinning a ship that does nothing for a player in pve or pvp.

Edited by NYC_InfamousNick: 12/7/2018 2:53:36 PMThat’s like saying “because it’s cosmetic I doesn’t matter, only rewards that affect power should matter.” If you took away the emblem I got for soloing shattered throne, I would be real friggin angry. Same goes for the Solstice ship. People grinded hard for it and to have it be reskinned is a slap in the face. Also, you can still bring the armor up to year 2 values, you just can’t get armor perks on it. To say that it is irrelevant is incorrect because it’s the only armor that you can masterwork without using your own Masterwork cores. Also it looks kinda cool.

Edited by g_DAta2015: 12/7/2018 2:55:52 PMThey didnt take away your emblem. The ship is cosmetic, which is what they essentially did to the Solstice armor set. They made it cosmetic. It was useless less than a month after you get it. Edit... Also it did matter when they made the Solstice armor useless, but no one was complaining back then.

I wanted that ship so badly, I created a warlock. I LOATHE warlocks.

It wasn't RNG though. You got the ship for earning your legendary Solstice gear for all 3 classes.

Edited by SpamTheDamage: 12/6/2018 10:28:50 PMOh my mistake, I misread “triumph” as “dawning”! I agree with you, the Solstice ship should have absolutely stayed as a reward of its own event and requirements. It does come with a little star on it this time around though :p
