create and "Epic" or "Legendary" mode for year 1 raids.
VoG difficulty level 290-300 light, gear drops at 280 and is infusable
Crota difficulty level 300-310 light, gear drops at 280 and is infusable
on top of that remove burns on primary weapons, and make armor stats RNG similar to TTK raid gear (ie: boots are either Machine Gun or Rockets, not just "Heavy": chest drops sniper, shotty, fusion, or sidearm, not just "Special" weapons)
this would make the old raid gear relevant yet not over-shadowing the year 2 content. would also bypass that light level grind of strikes playlist that was such a pain to get a character ready for TTK normal raid, and give new Year 2 players the amazing feeling of getting those sweet Vog or Crota drops that we craved and lusted for in Year 1.
would also allow year 2 content (Raid/Trials/IB) to remain relevant and useful for infusion fuel.
there's no need to change the raid. no need to add Taken sections or revamp anything. no need to add any challenge modes to Y1 raids. just copy/paste the gear into a new loot table, adjust the light level, add infusion, and the little TKK logo at the top corner.
if the Devs buckled down for a couple weeks it would be a snap. and would provide the community with triple the content, quadruple if you were to add a Prison of Elders "Legendary" mode.
personally i adore this game. i agree the PvP section needs to be addressed but those are more about fixing mechanics and latency issues than adding more content. as a primarily PvE player, a boost in content like this would hold me and many others over for a while.
now im not naive enough to think an idea like this hasnt been brought up at Bungie nor on these forums. but i do think we as a community should voice our thoughts and ideas to open a bridge of communication between us and the amazing staff at Bungie.
[i]Edit: Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, ill try to keep up with replys unless this thing blows up ;)[/i]

1 RespuestaThey already came up with a solution for making [b]ALL[/b] content relevant. Then they removed it at the outset of TTK. I'm referring, of course, to Etheric Light.

Add etheric light and y2 exotics to the vog/ce loot tables Make etheric light an incremental upgrade for all legendary/exotics instead of instant max light Say +10 legendary and +5 exotic??? If you had a 170 legendary item it would take 15 to get it to 320 That 314 item that dropped in kf can be 320 for 2 lights All the outstanding perks for y1 weapons have been nerfed so they will never be as good as they were and shields are less of an issue in y2 so elements on primaries are not as big of a deal either.
-
2 RespuestasA challenge mode with updated light levels could be a way to make old raids become relevant again. Maybe something like: VoG - Templar - Defeat Templar with no teleports Atheon - Defeat Atheon without times vengeance (3 guardians in the portal when atheon dies) Crotas End - Deathsinger - Defeat Deathsinger before she starts her song Crota - Defeat Crota with only 2 swords I just came up with them quick so those are really easy but it would be fun to at least have an update with challenges like that
-
Also make sure all the Weapons and armour are re-shaded, VoG being moss covered would be cool, CE having a darkmatter type camo but with Crota skin effect and PoE being idk get creative.
-
My idea on making y1 relevant again: Don't.
-
2 RespuestasLike that idea but doubt it will happen well actually any idea put on this forum seems to be ignored anyway.
-
3 RespuestasGood idea but I doubt they do it. It will take time to do all that. It's not just a copy/paste. I don't think they want to spend that much time and money on this.
-
2 RespuestasAll I saw was "year 1" and "relevant" and I already agreed with you before i read anything. I miss my fatebringer. #RIP

1 RespuestaBump! I was actually talking about this with a friend last night! I said "why not bring all Y1 gear? And just take off elemental burns off primaries!" Would triple our content and make everything more fun! Also bringing all Y1 vendor gear back into rotation? Would definitely add more weapon variety
-
1 RespuestaHow about this ... Why not just put all legendary weapons from all the expansions back in rotation (minus the burns for the raid weapons ) and bring them up to year 2 levels . In fact bring all legendary armour back while your at it . That way you'll have new weapons and armour from strikes crucible raids etc . And I'll have a chance to get my three little words back that I stupidly dismantled . Doing this would create real diversity and in my opinion would make pve and pvp a lot more rewarding .
-
1 RespuestaI was thinking about a challenge mode type of thing. Where you do the challenge and you have a CHANCE to get an item (kinda like the crux). There would be a vendor in the tower that would sell you a y2 version of the raid weapons/armor. The cost would be said item, the old piece of gear, and some glimmer or whatever. But the key would be old item plus challenge item to get a y2 version of old gear (minus burns)
-
1 RespuestaKnow what bothers me most about y1 gear? They somewhat fixed the issue where you can infuse the vog gear and what not to make it the current level at the time 34. Then they do an about face and leave that out defeating the point in allowing us to do it in the first place, that is the logic that goes on in bungie.

1 RespuestaYou are a genius

2 RespuestasBumped, it just seems like good sense. I've been saying this since TTK, and now more than ever it would help. I'm no programmer but surely up scaling enemies and a loot table cannot be too much of a strain compared to...say inventing a whole new event (SRL) I LOVE DESTINY but this weekend I played Battlefront. I feel like I cheated on my wife.
-
2 RespuestasVery positive idea and feedback indeed. Good job!
-
4 RespuestasWhile I love the idea of using my VoC again I don't think it's necessary. I do think that they should've used it in a progression system to hit 40.

3 RespuestasEditado por Vortex: 1/25/2016 4:23:10 PMAre you making ideas to rip off Halo with those game modes?

Bump. We all want our old raids back.

Games just aint what they used to be,look at all the broken games that came out last year

4 RespuestasYr1 is done. Get over it. Out with the old in with the new.

3 Respuestaslol. You think you're going to get your money's worth? Your money back? Your time? Your dedication and loyalty in exchange for respect and a treat? .... lol.
