The new "standard" now huh? 3 reissued weapons as a major DLC loot refresh.
Laughable. To everyone saying "Oh but Duty Bound and Silicon Neuroma were year 1 weapons so they are technically new". YOU are the problem.
Bungie gets away with this bold lazyness because of people like you. In what world is this worthy of putting pictures into the TWAB for a major annual DLC as the loot refresh of pillar activities.
In year 1, which apparently everyone hated, we got like 10 new weapons for Trials of the nine, iron banner, crucible, strikes, factions (3 of them), DLC weapons. For each of those activities. With a 4 month DLC. Now what do we get? Maps, strikes, gambit maps, planets, campaigns, weapons removed drom the game via the DCV and a handful of reissues + 5 new seasonal weapons. Yea Activision was the problem LOL.
In addition to the summoner, i bet their "other trials weapon" will be astral horizon. THOSE TWO AND THE SCHOLAR + TOMORROWS ANSWER SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED IN THE FIRST PLACE. And now they even "rotate out" IB, trials and nightfall weapons. So stop acting like this is a loot refresh. Source: [url]https://twitter.com/A_dmg04/status/1486847579170095105[/url]
Stop being okay with this. It's really sad what they are delivering now. I could have not written this TWAB without going to my boss like 12 times asking "Is this really okay???".
The new throne world weapons have twice as many items, then you have the raid weapons, any new weapons introduced in an expansion activity (like escalation protocol or alters of sorrow) IF they do one in this expansion, and on top of all that you have the weapons available as part of the seasonal activity dropping the same day as witch queen.
So that's 2 points to reissued weapons, I say two because I'm only giving half a point to each duty and silicon because they are getting random rolls which imo does count for something, and 15-20 points for new weapons, 6 throne world, 6 raid weapons (based on the number of new weapons dsc and gos had) and 4 to 6 season weapons based on the past few seasons.
So calm down sunshine, the ratio of new to old is well within acceptable levels, imo anyway. Unless you're one of those who isn't purchasing witch queen in which case the lack of new stuff is on you.
