its not bug its literal bad design from devs and the reason i quit playing

It’s not a bug it’s intentional lol

Yeah this is BS. Last slot should be universal.

Working as intended. Glad I didn’t buy it.

This was expected. It's not a good thing, but I knew this would be an issue. It was pretty easy to work out that this was the road they were heading down since the mod slots themselves were specifically called a season of undying mod slot instead of being given a more general name. We also had precedent. We werent able to use menagerie mods on seasonal armor, we couldn't use previous raid mods on new armor despite updating them to the new system. This is why I refused to grind for stats on anything except armor I would explicitly use for pvp, since seasonal mods have little to no effect in pvp (so far). If I find what I want in the course of normal play, great. Otherwise I won't waste my time grinding for something that, by it's very nature, becomes obsolete as soon as, or even before I get it. Bungie created a problem by making a system that simultaneously wants you to spend time creating a perfect build, AND wants you to replace that build with new content before you've even finished it.

Welp, looks like I'll be going back to the good old one armor set fits all model. Cause -blam!- that.

Bungle doesn't know how to continuously build a character. From here on out, each content drop will revert you to noob status, you'll build that character up, then repeat a few months later. From now on, expect everything to be a soft reboot- they won't expand on foundational sytems but instead they'll rework them, they won't build an epic story but instead there will be mostly unrelated short stories, and your character will start over every time. People, if it's not clear that they're going to mostly disregard your concerns (loot, gear, progression, grind, storytelling, etc...) and instead go with this "vision" that allows them to employ the least amount of effort to keep you interested in their reskinnned, rearranged content and tiny reward offerings...I don't know what to say. Leave. It's not going to get better and it's not going to be the game you want it to be.

Oh my god bungie you idiots .... armour 2.0 needs a serious fix or the alternative is go back to the old system with the armour before the rest of the player base starts laughing themselves to death every time you screw up🤣

And this is why I didn't bother masterworking gear let alone dumping any resources into bumping my energy capacity on armor. I knew we'd have to get a new set with the new season. We already have to grind out more than one set of armor due to elemental affinity. On one hand I see why this is a thing. They want people to chase that perfect armor set as the end game. But once you have that perfect armor all other gear based chases are relatively shallow. So having a mod slot specifically for that season forces you to redo that grind for your perfect setup. (even more so this season since the season mods can be used anywhere with any content.) I don't play this game enough to justify that level of grind. I'm not inherently against it. But I understand why it stings for people without being in their position. I also however understand Bungie's situation. They essentially had to decide if regrinding for season specific mods would have been enough. And they didn't seem to believe so. I imagine they could have found ANOTHER kind of material exchange/activity type that lets you change the mod slot itself/add the mod slot/make the slot universal. But that would probably require a lot more resources than it's worth to actually produce. And it ultimately wouldn't extend the armor grind too much. Bungie is toying with how to make armor more impactful and meaningful and I like the direction overall. It just needs polish. Older armor needs to still be respected and useful. But there needs to be incentive to potentially leave that gear behind for new gear. Bungie has the right idea to try and get us to chase new armor. Just the wrong way of going about it. Because essentially i'm just regrinding to access mods. For a mechanic that is undoubtably going to disappear for the next season. This "works" for the goal but isn't sustainable. So I don't imagine this staying the case for much longer especially if people are vocal about it. I think Bungie needs to look at armor affinity. It shouldn't lock specific mods. It should give an incentive for matching the armor though. Like making the mods themselves more effective or cheaper. Maybe go as far as even introducing set bonuses for affinity. They could potentially try to flesh out set bonuses for armors in general as a way to incentivise grabbing other armor. Gambit armor was a neat concept that could have worked out in a general sense if they bothered to polish it. I personally would go after themed sets that made me a beast at activities I enjoy. Another route they could take is simply having new armor pieces from the next season drop with higher base stats than the previous seasons and/or have a higher cap on how much of one stat you can have on it. As stats themselves while impactful are not hugely so in a moment to moment gameplay. But getting the perfect roll is a chase Bungie acknowledges and actively uses. Hell, Bungie could simply make armor ornaments for new seasons forward that you earn via collecting a set. The armor itself wouldn't potentially be used for gameplay reasons. But it still would be a chase for armor. idk. I feel like there's something here. And Bungie will stumble into something good with these systems/ideas at some point. I am just spitballing.
