It seems like every release and every seasonal cycle we’re getting some from of recycled content, whether it be from D1 or the early years of D2. It blows my mind how much this happens and even more so how much people eat it up. IMO - it’s lazy, plain and simple. Becoming more invested in this game, spending more time playing and familiarity myself with the “culture” around it has really put a sour taste in my mouth for Bungie. I can’t think of another consumer experience where customers (bc that’s what we are) are constantly sold the same recycled shit over and over and are expected to be excited about it. If you really take the time to look at the list of weapons and content it’s staggering. Why is Bungie able to keep doing this? Why don’t we demand more from a company that we keep in business? Why is no one else talking about this? Some examples from the list that goes on forever: Beyond light: Hawk moon Cosmodrome Vault of glass No time to explain Etc, etc Current weapons: Eye of sol -> revoker reskin -> blue sniper reskin Recluse -> death adder reskin -> blue smg reskin (and now they skinned the reskin to sell this same pos smg to us again this season) Widows byte, distant tumulus, apostate, some random blue sniper (same as above, sold to us again this season) Lunas howl -> some blue HC reskin Summoner -> some blue auto reskin Every IB armor set is reused from early D2 or D1 Trials gear - reused Yay new dungeon, new loot right? Nope- shotgun, hand cannon, sniper, smg, armor - every single thing here is either repurposed or reskinned from previous content. AND to be clear all of these weapons should have been updated immediately once the new perks/mod scheme came out whenever that was, forsaken I think. Dire promise - re-release from early D2 Old fashioned - same as above Felwinters lie - D1 reissue. Last hope / last dance - early D2. Thorn, last word, bad juju, outbreak, whisper, hard light, Monte Carlo, queen breaker, telescope, sleeper, ace of spades, thunderlord, jade rabbit, truth, chaperone, 4th horseman The list goes on and on and on. I understand that some legendary variations are built off of blue / green weapons but still this is a lot. Exclude those from the list if you want, the point still stands. I understand the appeal of nostalgia and wanting weapons from the past but if they’re going to sell us a new game then they really should give us new things and with that I would expect 90% or more to be an acceptable ratio of new vs reissue, but that doesn’t feel like that case. Then the reissue would actually mean something, not like now where it’s “what D1 weapon or armor are they going to sell back to us this time?” We, as consumers should demand more and we deserve more. Personally, I’ve sank nearly $300 in D2 since it’s release with season passes, DLCs, and an occasional silver bundle - all of which were done with little knowledge of D1 having played it here and there but nothing like D2. I won’t be spending another dime until we’re given a plan of what the future looks like. This is just bad, lazy, and passionless product development. Edit - spelling, sorry on mobile
