The game is now with a loot problem, we are near the powercreep line, but while we are close, new loot will never feel "fresh" or interesting for veterans. Sunsetting was created to make the game feel fresh yearly, but was implemented poorly, loosing god rolls you farm hours to have an expiration day is a terrible feeling, so no, sunsetting is not the way. And its a worse solution than staying near the line of powercreep. Right now Bungie is trying to create interesting perks adapted to the playstyle of diffrent users, so the game is going more for a situational and support combat that vary from player to player. Still there is a design problem, how to keep making loot interesting? And thats the [b]Major Problem[/b]. Right now we have seen the creation of glaives, rocket sidearms, but archtypes are not enough, the same goes for intrinsic traits. When Witch queen launched everyone got a Craftable Taipan for free in their hands, and that weapon is the only heavy dmg dealing weapon you need in all activities, for the last 2 years, i think they made a mistake making it craftable, it competes even with a adept Reeds Regret. Potential solutions to this, i think of, is first making craftable and non craftable be in the same surface, enhancing any fixed roll of any weapon, that will give incentive for people that has a favorite non craftable weapon be in that surface lvl of power, and also if you get the godroll in a raid, you dont need to craft it, so people will not only do a checklist style of, "i just want the red border". And will make them pursue of creating the perfect 5/5 god roll, not the unexciting i got the third red border. [i]Implementing this, is a system problem that needs a lot of time to create it seems[/i] Like Warframe, make the game a Collectible looter shooter, for many 600 in vault is a problem, and choosing between things i dont use vs i want to use vs i think will be meta, is annoying. Would be nice if we can have unlimited weapons, but like warframe, getting more space need resources like platinum, so people wont hoard unlimited junk, but will think twice before expanding or deleting. This game has those moments when a non meta weapon from 4 years ago is now meta situation, and its fun and special, would be cool to have more opportunities like this. Having the Collectors mindset will make poeple want to farm for unecessary godrolls just because they want it, instead of, why farm it, i dont have space, i have something similar. [i]I dont know if the amount of information of every user is expensive or hard to mantain with the current engine and servers[/i] Something more personal is adding seconday perks to craftable weapons so i use 1 for pvp and pve instead of having 2 ikelos smg. Like lvl this weapon to 40 and 50 to unlock another line. until you get everysingle one, in lvl... i dont know lvl150 (that seems unecessary but who knows). So people will have something special to do with his favorite weapon. and experiment combinations right away. [i]This also seems to be a technical problem for the engine (And why double perks adept rolls from VOG and KF are not enhanced still)[/i] Would be enough? no, but at least is a interesting incentive for players go to farming. A ton of people like to Collect, and want to be perfectionists with what they got. Adepts also needs to feel more special from the base version, right now is like a 1% advantage, why not adding unique perks that the base cant roll maybe? After we have everything at peak and still farming for new weapons, activities will determine what is meta in certain scenarios. So purpouse is also a good excuse to generate incentive to pursue loot. Like using surrounded linear in GM devils Layer to do dmg downsters to the boss while enemies procc surrounded for you upstairs. So more variety in what we do too is a potential solution.
