What's even the point in grinding at all now that all our gear earned over the last 3 years will be completely invalid and next to useless in a few weeks? Even when EoF launches anything you grind over the next 6 months will also become invalid and next to useless when renegades launches, and so on for every season from now on. They're introducing a 15% damage bonus for new weapons and 15% damage reduction for new armor only for new weapons/armor per season - meaning once a new season drops all your previous gear, even from just the previous season, will be almost completely unusable in harder content.
So why tf would anyone bother grinding for gear you can't use for more than a few months!? With this new super grindy tier system, it could take months to eventually get the weapon/armor rolls you want (unless of course you play this game all day/every day like a JOB), you'll only have 2-3 months to enjoy it before it becomes useless next season. Then you get to do it all over again!! What's even the point!?
On top of that there's an even bigger power level grind coming, a feature nobody likes or wants, that now goes up to 200, then up to 450 - requiring more materials than before as well! Which of course, resets back to 200 each new season. Again, WHAT'S THE POINT!? Bungie is doubling down on features nobody likes or wants and frequently complains about because they're either completely tone deaf or just don't give a f***, and also tripling down on the already unrewarding grind.
Oh, and also no more crafting because why? "F**k you, that's why" -bungie
F**K THAT.
F**k you too, Bungie.

supposedly the 15% is reduced to 10% and also that 10% is only achieveable with T5 gear which will be something most people are earning way into a season and so anything below that will be a much lower buff and is pretty negligble. Some HC doing 4% more damage won't matter if its perk combo is bad compared to your current HC.

All the time wasted farming for God rolls after they removed crafting on seasonal weapons only for them to be -blam!- next month. If you think about it MMOs do resets each expansion but there's a difference. Getting what you want in them isnt a slot machine grindfest like this game and they respect your time investment to get items you want as long as you do the content for it.

작성자: Bore 6/21/2025 3:26:47 PM[quote]Making non seasonal weapons 15% worse at base[/quote] That’s not part of the weapon rework. That’s a seasonal artifact change. But yeah, that is stupid and probably won’t last long. Devs already said they were lowering it to 10% and I wouldn’t be surprised if it drops more before launch nor would I be surprised if it only lasts one season. If they want to grant bonuses for using new gear, it should be glimmer or XP bonuses for using current seasonal stuff.
