Why all the fuss about the pre order suros weapons?!

I don't get it. Everyone complaining that the pre order suros weapons are weak green weapons. Why? Did you pay more for them? Nope. Did Bungie promise they would be higher level? Nope. All you had to do was just order something early that you were going to buy anyway. And at no extra cost you got early access to some weapons, a shader and an emblem. Any dissapointment you feel is based on assumptions YOU made about a weapon STARTER pack. And you know what they say about assuming!

  • I was disappointed with the weapons as well, but no one paid extra for them, it was a free weapons pack/Suros pack for pre-ordering. Now, if I had paid for the weapons, then I'd be pissed about them being green.

    It's not assumptions. People read the pre-sale stuff and hoped that the weapons would be decent and of a level that was, at least, slightly above the highest year ones. After all, logically it made little sense for them to be of lower value as Bungie would have expected these little bonuses to be an added incentive to buy TTK and so people expected stuff that gave them a decent foothold in year two. (No idea why people thought they would be legendaries as nothing Bungie showed hinted at that) So people enter their redeem codes and either look blankly around for their weapon packs or trot along to the Vanguard to see weapons there that they have to pay for. And that confuses as well. Whilst Bungie didn't say they were free in game, they didn't say you had to pay for them either. And people aren't going to pay for weapons which they aren't entirely sure are the right weapons and which, if they are, have little to no value to the player. At best Bungie were misleading. If you had redeemed the code and then got a message saying something like "Your weapons are now available [b]for purchase[/b] from the ..." It would have been clear that yes those were the weapons and yes, you had to pay for them. Unfortunately I just think Bungie could have been clearer on exactly what this pre order "bonus" entailed.

    • Because everybody needs something to complain about, and since this dlc is actually good for once, that's the fallback.

      • Actually, yes. It did cost us money. Instead of sitting in our accounts making [i]us[/i] money through interest, it sat in BungIe's account making them money [b]and[/b] they got to show their board members all the pre-orders and get themselves bonus monies and raises. I was fine with that arrangement, but was under the impression that the content would be worthwhile.

      • Suros weapons and vanguard pack were all meant for new players. They weren't meant to be legenadary. The fact they were only 160 and not even 200 damage is kinda crappy though. From an 'upgrade' perspective,it was pretty pointless,as they weren't even higher then year one cap lol.

        • I thought they would atleast be usable. Should of been 200 blues, or maybe even legendaries.

            • I can at least see where the complainers are coming from. A pre-order bonus should at least be able to do endgame content. Those weapons weren't even good for starting off The Taken King.

              • Do you like it when politicians make promises and then renege on thise promises? Probably not but I could fling your meaningless diatribe right back at you. If you ordered a pizza that came with a free bottle of coke if ordered online and when you recieved the pizza there was no coke, would you just shrug and say oh well. What I cant understand is people that dont understand the value of a promise or a deal done and try and belittle others when they dont like feeling ripped off. Complacency is a disease and from the substance of your post sadly you have the terminal variety.

                  • They're angry because Bungie managed to fool them so easily. "Pre-order our game! You'll get stuff!"

                    • Because they are expensive, hot -blam!-ing garbage that absolutely no one could have gotten any use out of.

                    • Other games it's useful guns, skins you'll most likely want to use, pre-order only characters or skins. They heavily advertise it to get people to pre-order and many of those would not have done so with out it. This Suros pack is 3 weapons you will not want to use ever. Why? Because your current weapons are 170 and these weapons are 160 green junk you have spend glimmer on and you'll find better green weapons than that just in the first mission alone. Bungie knew it was junk from the beginning, and they idiotically advertised it like you were getting something special. It's a pre-order incentive they heavily advertised and made it look great, and it's green weapon junk you'll never want to use. Other games. Oh yeah. Awesome stuff just like how they advertised it. This one is a big joke. Never should have been advertised, seems more like a trick on Bungie's part

                      • They also cost glimmer. I preorderred on the 14th specifically to get these weapons instead of trying to grab a physical collectors edition yesterday. Sucks for me that I did it for some hopeless weapons that I wouldnt have even bothered soending my glimmer on.

                        • Because they were obsolete before they ever even came out. I don't think anyone expected them to be exotics, or anything like that, but we certainly expected them to be useful weapons.

                          • They should have been blues or at the very least a couple points higher than our current legendaries.
