After the Live Stream promoting their next 3 expansions I was hyped and immediately pre-ordered like an idiot.
Trials changes were after a major TWAB that was supposed to heavily fix things, it is worse lol.
Sunsetting Weapons - I gave Bungie the benefit of the doubt but when I saw my Gnawing Hunger as an exact reissue I lost it!
Sunsetting Gear - No reason for this at all
Solstice Armor promised to be 2.0 ready was immediately useless.
Mods and elemental affinity - Trying to find which mod goes on which piece of armor, let alone the proper affinity, is beyond frustrating.
Not a peep from Bungie on Sunsetting or Trials and every time they touch something, it gets worse. I have lost what little trust I had in Bungie and until I see major changes, not hear about them, I will not be preordering anything.
I don’t understand why people can’t comprehend the term “Power Creep” that’s what sunsetting is for. I love Aztecross but his video on Sunsetting was stupid. The reason they want to retire old weapons is power creep. Pinnacle Weapons were great! Legendary Exotics...except they are like 2 years old now and still BiS. Why? Because in order for us, the players, to retire them, Bungie would have to create something better ergo feeding into Power Creep. Why do you think we always roll for the same perks on weapons? Why all “God Rolls” are essentially the same? Because damage and reload for essentially free makes all other perks needless. Is that healthy? No. You can see evidence of this in all Season of Arrival loot which has strongly shifted from the Outlaw/Rapid Hit/Feeding Frenzy and Rampage/Swashbuckler era. So how can Bungie fix this problem? First, sunset, then release new and revamped perks. Can they deliver? Now that I am skeptical for.
