I do love Destiny, but after watching the stream yesterday I was frustrated about a few things.
1. "New" faction gear looks exactly the same as the current gear. I get that they weren't going to completely redesign it but this doesn't even look like a reskin it just looks like the same exact gear.
2. Is there a way to turn chroma off? Tbh I didn't think the chroma effect looked good on any of the gear they showed off, so personally I wouldn't want to use it at all, but I didn't see an option on a piece of gear that said "turn chroma off". If I end up having to use chroma I'll be pretty mad about it.
3. So I have to wear ugly PoE reskinned gear to have the taken look? What was so hard about just making it a shader? Couldn't they have made it an unlockable shader like the two KF shaders? This really doesn't make sense to me.
4. "Year 1 weapon are coming back!" Yea, and you picked the oldest and most useless ones to bring back too. Oooooh, Shadow Price, that was such a good gun!......... back in vanilla destiny. Now in the current meta it's trash. LDR and Longbow are the only relevant ones, maybe Two to the Morgue as well, but the rest are just meh. You also didn't bring back a SINGLE YEAR 1 PULSE RIFLE, WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK BUNGIE?!! Two of each type of primary but no pulse rifles?? What a colossal disappointment.
5. Sterling treasure in Eververse.....*sigh*. I know it's not pay-to-win, but it's pretty clear that bungie is moving further and further down the road to pay-to-win with each passing update. First it was just emotes, then it was exclusive masks that are now unobtainable, then it was sparrows and exclusive SRL gear. Now it's gear with actual relevant perks as well as ships, faction boosters, and chroma. I shiver thinking about what it'll be next.
There were so many things they could've done right with this update, and so few things that they actually did get right. 1:1 infusion and more vault space are both A+ moves, and it's great how we'll have more places to earn max-light gear, but I still can't help but feel bittersweet about the whole thing, especially knowing that we'll still have to grind our lives away to get the specific gear we want.
(Side note: RIP pulse rifles when the crucible update comes out. I'm calling it now.)

We know, we know. "Im ready to whine about anything bungie says cause im a child" Time to grow up one day kiddo

1 RespuestaPersonally I won't be bothering with this stuff. I play a lot of crucible these days and poncing about like an overlit Christmas tree doesn't do much for camouflage. I used to go for a red look until my girlfriend pointed out I was getting shot a lot - I get shot a little less now I wear black! Neither do I fancy looking like a twitchy Taken smoke monkey - those things must be the least visually satisfying of all the aliens - turning into some monochrome 60s TV washing powder advert when shot.

1 RespuestaWhat do you mean by "rest in peace pulse rifles?" Pulse rifles Lina sick right now lol

You don't have to select a chroma. If you are curious and do select a chroma, you can always spend 100 glimmer to reroll it. It removes the chroma. POE regular gear will be making a return. It has the Fallen chroma if you choose to select it.
-
I wish there was more diversity in the gear as well. I don't really understand what drives the duplication. It seems like it would be an easy area to achieve an easy development ROI, and make the grind to collect more satisfying. I'm hoping the class items start shading again.

1 RespuestaStop hating on him for being disappointed. His whole point here is people have been complaining about this game for awhile now. This update is the first real move they made to please their fans. But instead of fixing the problems people have, bungie is just giving you more items. People are mad they have to waste their life to get anywhere on this game. Grinding is really in any game. But the rng here makes it so you could play months straight and still not have everything you want. No game is worth your life when you're not getting paid for it.

3 RespuestasThe April update is Free. Regardless of what Bungie did or did not do the bottom line is that you paid money for a game. The game is getting an update that doesn't cost you anything and will contain some different things. That's it that's all. 90% of what you posted is just drivel.

It's just another opportunity for them to get you gambling cash for digital shit.

1 RespuestaEditado por Peaches: 4/4/2016 1:39:41 AMPersonally I wasn't expecting much from the update because it's just that, an update. In fact we're getting more than I thought we would.
-
I like the. New non faction armor they show in the pics. I think it looks solid The faction stuff is the same old with different colors
-
Some people can't be pleased with anything. It's an UPDATE. And it's giving a bit of life back to PVE. Something long overdue. The next DLC will give us totally new content. This has some new and much that has been refreshed. I'm fine with that.
-
For an UPDATE, it's alright.
-
2 RespuestasI think this "update" is just fine. It is an "update" not a whole new expansion so when you guys say this stuff is reskinned it's just updated. If bungie sold this as a DLC then y'all can be mad about it but it's just an update and btw don't judge this company on the things they can't do when they really do try to give us things. When you are on the team that handles this stuff and see how hard it is to produce things for this hypocritical community u won't be mad anymore

Do you think they're going to take every y1 and y2 pieces of armor in the game for a shader thats probably a pain in the ass to make? Although I don't like the PoE stuff either.
-
4 RespuestasHow about try out the update, then complain. The pre-emptive whining is pathetic.
-
It's disappointing because there's no taken shader
-
It's a live team update so it's somewhat expected. There are limits to what they are allowed to do.

100% agree. The inky new thing is the spektar armor and the new Malok strike.
