Timeline-warping neigh of superiority old

I don't think this is a good idea. The only way to get newer perks should be through using the new weapons themselves. With sunsetting gone, reissues are now not needed and the focus can be on newer weapons to some degree. Be glad your recently acquired gear can now be used indefinitely. The only thing would result in your suggestion would be players holding onto their weapons indefinitely, grinding for new weapons just to essentially infuse their perks. This philosophy is anti-looter shooter to me. You should see newer perks and want to use the new guns because of what they offer that your old weapons do not offer.

    You dont infuse them in to new weapons to get the perks on your guns, you just unlock them as soon as they they drop with the new perks or dismantle the weapon itself to have a chance to unlock the perk. If anything this will reduce vault space because you only really need one copy of the gun in your vault unless you want to have one of each masterwork for whatever reason. You get a gun with an interesting masterwork you can swap out the perks with other ones from the loot pool you've already unlocked. Not to mention that you can test perk combinations that you would never give the time of day before. Bungie introduces a wider loot pool for the weapon you already have? Farm that weapon again until the new perks drop so you can add them to your gun with a kill tracker in the neighborhood of 50,000 kills. It also allows you to go on a journey with guns which is one of the original selling points destiny. It doesn't go against a looter shooter because you are still shooting and still looting.

    Even worse idea. Terrible even. It would destroy the loot economy. I'm sorry but I can't support this idea. No hard feelings.

    How would that destroy the loot economy? Could you elaborate? Maybe it's something I'm not seeing?

    It would turn all future loot drops into nothing more than free perks with no reason to ever actually use newer non exotic loot.

    That's pretty much how the system works now, if you get a god roll weapon now, every time that weapon drops again, its worthless to you because you already have the god roll besides the weapon parts and legendary marks. If multiple guns share the same perk, you dont automatically unlock the perk on one gun because you already unlocked it on another gun, you have to have that perk drop on the specific gun that you want to use. You would still have a reason to use newer non exotic loot because new legendary weapons come with new perks that old weapons dont have. And at least with the system I am proposing you dont have to be afraid to try weird combinations of perks.

    Umm no because you still have to farm for the weapon in the first place and then actually use the weapon if you want the newer perks, rather than use them as mere consumables. I don't like the system but I see you're very passionate about it. Might be great in a different game but I personally think it doesn't belong in Destiny. In it's own vacuum, your system is elaborate 👍🏼

  • IDK man, I just think this system would make destiny's looter shooter aspect 1000 times more enjoyable.
