What's Popular Gets Nerfed Or Eliminated
It's a head scratcher.
Bungie sees what we like to use/do the most and then nerfs or sunsets it.
The polar opposite of customer satisfaction.

The issue is, if something is popular in the game, it's because it's the best option in it's category. When was the last time that you saw a crappy weapon or perk be popular?

7 RepliesYep and now my example of what’s to come. Sunsetting legendary weapons/armor is so they can make really powerful new gear and not have it rule the game forever in endgame. Now exotics. If exotics are never going to be sunset that means they can only be nerfed if they are too good, bungie won’t want that bad feedback so they will make underwhelming exotics so that they can manage them throughout the games lifespan. Mods/perks/legendary weapons/armor/exotics all need to get sunset at some point if there is to be a flow of power through the coming seasons. Using the sunset system for one group of items in the game and not for other items that fall into the same brackets (weapons and armor) will greatly show flaws into both practices.

so when you find something good SHUT UP.

6 RepliesThat’s why I use fun weapons. Rat King/ Point of the Stag/ Crimson all day baby

14 RepliesYeah, because they’re trying to promote build diversity. Without it there’s no point in the game having its own identity
-
Yeah, because everybody using the same shit isn't healthy in a loot based game. Plus, it makes PvP stale as hell.

9 RepliesWhat’s popular is usually what’s overpowered. That’s why they do it.

Basically. Everyone could suddenly be using something like....Armamentarium. All it does is give an extra grenade.....but once everyone and their mother starts using it....suddenly it becomes a problem. Not because it's good or game breaking, but because from how frequently you start running into it. Which is a very very common issue in Destiny. They could buff other weapons, gear, and perks to counter this issue....but they opt for the easier route of nerfing. Which leads us into the current situation of everything got nerfed so badly...former trash items are good.

Agree. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's overpowered and needs to be nerfed. It's like every fun "spike" in the game is a nail Bungie feels obliged to hammer down. I recall last year sometime they said they were going to try to avoid doing this (can't recall the interview specifically, or who said it). Why not just buff other options to make them more viable and maybe give the player more choice? Who wants to play a game full of memories of how good things USED to be...

Destiny 2 is also popular, so...

But we can play the way we want to... especially when they force us to use other weapons

Facts.....

Balance is something important in a game like Destiny. Things over powered trends to be more popular and over powered items trends to be nerfed, which is normal, over powered items makes all other items useless, they sunset them. If some nerf can be interesting, like with the shotgun rework, many nerf does not make sense. Whisper of the worm was great with infinite ammo, the Last Word was great before, snipers were far to be OP... At this point balancing is no longer an issue, killing the fun is. Some specific weapons eclipse the others? Lets sunset 3 years of weapons, totally makes sense...

6 Replies[quote]It's a head scratcher.[/quote] Not really. They do it so other items can become popular.

They nerf/sunset weapons like Mountaintop and Recluse because they break the sandbox. Any weapons that have been released since those two weapons have been available have been useless because nothing has been as strong as them. Sunsetting weapons like Recluse allows for new weapons to be introduced to the game to change the meta.

You didn't know?

Thing is exotics are never being sunset so they will never be crazy op because they would get nerfed and not sunset. I don’t see how any not noticed this but exotics now have a reason to be bland. Hell we only get 3 weapons and 3 armor each season and the armor doesn’t work and weapons are given to us and are never meta anyway lol. What we need is a catalyst for every exotic mainly due to the fact that we’re losing so many viable legendaries that the orb making and utility of having a exotic masterworked is important to fill holes in the loot pool viability.

The reason is in this community the most broken things are usually the most used.
