I imagine that reconstruction was nerfed to try to force people to buy the new content so they can get Icebreaker.

That’s not really in anyone’s interest. Old players get mad post video’s, social media post’s etc saying the games bad, new players see this and don’t pick up the game. It’s a lose lose. Really bad idea when those weapon perks aren’t even close to say they are OP.

It's just like Bungie making new subclasses mega over-powered when they are released. They basically (or sometimes literally) nerf existing subclasses so that players can't be competitive unless they get the new subclass, which requires paying.

Toxic practice, toxic community

But this isn’t anything new. That’s my point if we got all new sub class abilities and a new arsenal of weapons unique to this echo (not old reprised weapons)that would be fine. This isn’t the case however. We have been shafted because all because they wanted us to grind a awful potion system that isn’t even explained to players how to use it correctly. It makes the game less accessible to new players bores old players and wastes resources for devs. I’m not alone in this as it seems to be a major buzz kill to the whole echo start. I would rather have seen it be about curing the eliksni infected by the echo’s power with a cool animation like crushing the ghosts of lucent hive but be staking them with a cure (or however). My point is just making a boring endless grind without being truly inventive is just worse than trying something that’s new and fresh but may fail. Potions could be so much better. But no they make it tedious and boring.
