Bungie, What ever happened to Artifacts???
I don't think I've seen anyone mention this. Why are these not a thing in D2? It kinda seems pointless to have them introduced in The Taken King, modified in Rise of Iron, scrapped from D2, and not even reintroduced in Forsaken. What gives?
This obvisouly isn't the biggest issue in the world, but artifacts provided another layer of customization to our characters. Even if they come back in their Taken King version, I wouldn't mind. Our characters feel so bland and boring at the moment. Armor has basically been the same for two years.
Thoughts?

They didn’t really offer much. They were more gimmicks then anything IMO

1 ReplyThey got left behind in D1. Like all the other enjoyable aspects of the game.
-
Content was too hard to make so they settled on mantling instead.

1 ReplyYea agree... It's a shame about all the great things that were left behind in D1 ... Artifacts Glass needles Vendors with weekly loot Factions Armsday Trials MY FAVORITE WEAPONS (The First Curse, Monte Carlo, Saladins vigil) Age of Triumph(need it yearly) I'm sure there's more things...

Mark Noseworthy didn't understand them.

Edited by zose: 5/12/2019 10:27:57 PMThe real point of artifacts in destiny 1 was to carry the bulk of your stat points so that you could feel free to wear armor you liked the look of without needing to worry as heavily on stats since the artifact was what carried the majority of your stats. While I personally liked this idea others did not so when rise of iron released they added in new artifacts to please those who were upset. However the artifacts acted more like a second piece of exotic armor and made other exotics somewhat useless. To this end artifacts are kind of pointless because if they were readded it as they were in rise of iron they would just become a second exotic armor slot and at the point why not just allow us to equip 2 exotics at the same time? (Which I personally think they shouldn't do)
-
The fact that every new weapon or armor piece that comes out is a reskin smh 🙄

Reading these comments makes me even sadder over what D1 had and D2 never will . All these excuses typed time after time .sorry but if you look at every year since destiny started bungie is all about bungie What's the least amount of work needed for the most amount of money up front.they seriously never care who continued to play thier games. All of the real moneys made from bending the truth and hype videos . No need to make a full game. You already got their cash. And there is always another group of people to take advantage of. Look around you seriously have people that believe D2 is better than D1. Um no way is that ever a truth

1 ReplyThey couldn't figure out how sell them through Everse...

1 ReplyThe true question is, what ever happened to Bungie?!
-
I would only want them back if they were only modifications to our character's abilities and not used as leveling material.
-
Artifacts got kind of cool and rise of iron and we're definitely one of the cooler features. at the same time I thought it just got to be a little bit too much and I'm really more glad to see them go. they were problematic and various mostly minor annoying ways but very annoying
-
The one that refilled supers was great until bungie did what they always do and nerfed it. The were only a couple that i used.
-
A decent sum of them made some exotics and weapon perks completely useless
-
I believe the answer lies somewhere within the opinion stated below. See if you can spot it. Opinion: Bungie omitted perked artifacts because it was just one more thing to struggle with. It was amazing how quick they nerfed some of the perks due to, wait for it........Comp(Trials) PvP. The unintended consequence of players hard camping at the back of the map with the Memory of Skorri was quite comical. I myself loved the Iron Lord Artifacts and wish that they were returned to the game.
-
Artifacts should stay forgotten. They were annoying in Rise. I hope they never come back.
-
They died in Destiny 1 and need to stay in Destiny 1. An before it's said no I'm not going to forget about the iron banner artifacts because they are the ones that caused the most problems.
-
Yes, please. Let's have artifacts and rings and bracelets and socks and underwear so we can spend even more time grinding to increase our light level every 3 months.
-
Contents hard unless it's with Tess
-
2 RepliesTaken king artifacts were stupid. I could see RoI style artifacts coming back, though.
-
7 RepliesDestiny customization is hobbled by trying to provide PvP balance. PvP should split off into modes where everyone had access to the same gear and builds. Then allowing more unbalanced (a.ka. Fun) PvE only builds and truly worthwhile OP weapons, armor and abilities to grind for would be possible.
-
Artifacts were awesome. So were ornaments, weekly rotating vendor weapons, weapon bounties, choosing between a weapon or an armor piece if you level up, arms day, factions, et cetera. Reasons enough for Bungie to remove them from the game.
-
1 ReplyAt launch they wanted us to have less options to customize not more. The subclass changes are a perfect example of that. I've love to have more options too, but that clearly wasn't what B wanted at launch. It seemed like they were trying to "dumb down' the character build options for whatever reason.
-
They served no purpose and essentially acted as a sixth armor piece. The only ones that did anything special were the rise of iron ones. 90% of the artifacts in the game did absolutely nothing, so I’m not surprised they decided to remove them
-
TBH I don’t miss them, never really used them aside for an increase in intellect, discipline or strength.
