  • We know it's not your fault DeeJ but let bungie know they're I the wrong on this new upgrade path

  • All our gear is obsolete. How do you think people who spent ages grinding away and wrestling with RNG to get weapons and armor with good perks are going to feel? Without any way of letting us level up that gear to the 'new' Legendary/Exotic status, you're asking us to redo all the old content and some of the fairly thin new offering as much as before to get gear that will let us do the DLC, and will probably be junked with the next expansion. Whee? With the news that there's only one new strike and one Raid and no new areas for $20, I was already disappointed I pre-purchased the add-ons. With the news that we're supposed to junk our inventories and start again, I'm done with the game. Your team may be listening to feedback, but you're not understanding it. Destiny is meant to be an experience to be savored and remembered fondly, not a hamster wheel.

  • Funny but I listen to guardian radio network every week. And yes the one that you were on Deej. How do you think they are going to like you making there legendary gear/weapons worthless? They have stood by you the whole time. Do you think they will like this?

    • Dies this mean we have to upgrade our exotics all the way up first before we can upgrade them to do more damage? Such as a tier 1 then tier 2? Will we have the perks of the original weapon will we unlock the new damage boost?

    • Deej, I can't tell you how many hours, days, I feel like have been wasted in a fail swoop with what you guys are trying to do here. You have listened to us in some aspects, but not others. I hope you listen to us on this one.

    • I also love the fact that you are paying Bungie $20 just so you can grind the same shit all over again. What a bargain!

    • Making us reset weapons is a terrible idea. There are plenty of other ways we could go about this beside having to re upgrade everything. Why not make it so that we have to upgrade our weapons with a special type of material to get to 32 or something? It takes way to long to upgrade those as it is. Also, why don't you guys freaking field test this stuff before you release it? Just have people from the company assume random aliases and post a what if in the forums. If people like it then do it, if they don't then save yourself the headache of developing it and find another way to do it.

    • The game changes and evolves (or devolves in some cases). We just need to adapt. I don't like losing progress, but upgrading them again isn't that big of a deal especially if it's faster.

      • Frankly DeeJ I love it. This community follows the same pattern over and over - bungie announce a change/modification, community whinge, change comes in, community go 'this is awesome'. Keep doing what your doing bungie. It feels like destiny is becoming legend.

          I think it would be nice to be able to turn the Khostov and the Stranger's Rifle (two of the most unique non-exotic weapons) into exotics somehow. (Maybe even remake the body of the Stranger's Rifle to where it reloads as it did with the glitch.)

            Here is my biggest gripe. I broke down legendaries already and used the shard you opened up this week. So now not only do i reset the weapon but I broke the legendaries down for nothing and lose the shard.. Why the heck did you release the shard thing early? Thats just crappy.

              One thing and I'll keep it short in hopes it will get read: If you do this, you literally make all the work from playing destiny before the expansion useless. This game rocks, but if this really goes through as planned; I might as well have started playing destiny last week and I would be on the same page as every level 30 out there on the 3rd. Please reconsider! - Huge fan, concerned customer

              • So our entire arsenals of weapons and armor, legendary and exotic, are going to be rendered obsolete and we will be forced to grind for the new weapons and upgrades...and all we're getting content wise is a mere handful of new missions and strikes and a whopping 3 mp maps which certainly wont be used for all modes? You people really have no clue, do you?

                • Why don't you make the raid weapons upgradable too? That way people will still try and run the VOG to get the Fatebringer, VoC, Vex Ect.

                  • DeeJ, Not gonna lie, I don't look forward to having to rank up my exotic that I [u]just[/u] got to nearly max all over again. I mean, I'm totally fine with needing to do something special to get the upgraded version. Maybe Xur could sell a new node or something (like what XiX GhOsTx XiX said)...but that's a lot of effort that I've put into my current exotics that will have been lost. In fact, this could be a good thing for the smith to do. We could take max items to him and he could use his esoteric expertise to open up just one more level of "efficiency".

                    • Dear Deej, Once again I am forced to comment. This group of people will never like what you are doing with the game. It reminds me of Jesus Christ and the Jews. They will praise you one minute and scream for you crucifixion the next..... I feel that having to reset exotics is fair. You are letting us hold on to the pieces we like. I myself just finally upgrade bad juju (which rocks now btw.. Good job!!) along with a few other exotics this week. The part I think people don't get is that the statement was made that these would be "quicker and easier to upgrade"..... It is the same group that bitched about the iron banner.(good job btw) The same group that bitched about the vault. Same group that complains about everything that you do so I purpose another option..... Quit asking how they feel about the changes. For the love of God!!!!! If I have to read one more "-blam!- you bungee I want everything upgraded for free" post I am going to blow my (virtual) head off. Ty

                      • DeeJ:Ask me your questions. Share with me your thoughts. As always, we're listening to your feedback. Hasn't replied to anyone, reads all the feedback (which is mostly negative) ignores all feedback and continues with what they have planned for weapon upgrade paths. Changes it at the next iron banner due to the PvP community outcry about having to redo their exotics again to have an advantage during the event.

                        • People are missing the point. See you are all thinking like consumers and need to think like the business. Then this will all make total sense. You have a game that was BS from the start, and is dying and loosing players, but you want to keep making profit. Easy, make everything useless, and force players to buy each new DLC in order to keep playing the game. I am personally done with this BS game. Nothing was delivered as promised, and now $60 isn't enough and I have to fork out more for each DLC to keep playing, f^*k that. I have games like GTA where DLC is free in an actual open world sandbox, and FPS like BF that are not dependant on DLC to keep playing. At some point the fan boys, and addicts to this game will realize that they are just being leeched off of.

                        • Whoever came up with this path idea should seriously stay away from videogame developing. I've personally spent hundreds of hours on this game, out of which at least half were spent upgrading weapons and farming endlessly for the materials needed for those upgrades, and now you want me to throw all those hours down the drain and start over? Sorry, not going to happen. I will wait for Friday and check out the new raid, only because I bought the season pass way too early, and right after that I'm dropping this game for good. It pisses me off because I love the game, but a team that focuses its fixes EXCLUSIVELY on changing icons and nerfing weapons is not something players should have to deal with, especially when you have TONS of VERY HIGH player impact issues in the game (mostly bugs in the raid).

                            • If you ask me, resetting an exotic that capped out at 300 damage, in order to bump it up to 320 or 330 just doesn't really seem worth it. That equals about 1 more bullet out of a hand cannon, or 3 more bullets out of an AR, to kill an enemy (assuming your shooting at high level enemies). It's not going to be a big difference, unless they say 350+ is the new max (which I doubt) I think I'd rather just keep them as they are and pull the trigger one more time. Instead I'll fully upgrade any new DLC exotics I get. What I have now can stay where their at.
