The way Sunsetting is being introduced is going to be a mistake in my opinion!

I understand something has to be done about old gear and sunsetting but honestly, after seeing this weeks TWAB and how it's currently going to be implemented I'm strongly against it. I would prefer a solution along the lines of season to season, Infusing old gear up to the power cap and the new seasonal gear to the pinnacle cap. Then, when the next season comes around all the new gear from the last season, gets lumped in with the rest of the old gear in the game and can only be infused to the power cap and the current new seasonal gear can be infused into the pinnacle cap so on and so forth.

    [b]The Only Way Sunsetting Works[/b] Listen I’m not totally for or against sunsetting the legendary weapons I have used for months and even years at this point. But Bungie, you need to understand one thing. After sunsetting, if you continue to release similar guns with the same perks in the sandbox, this will be one of the biggest failures in Destiny history (You will be kissing your fan base goodbye). In this case players will just feel like they are grinding for the same guns they have already earned all over again. We should expect from you bungie, that after sunsetting, there will be a new and diverse meta in PvE and PvP. New perks, and I mean [i]a ton[/i] of new perks in all archetypes, so that weapons feel fresh and modern. In order to take our minds off our old gear and to ensure we aren’t banging our heads grinding for the same rolls we farmed for back in season of the drifter, we need new perks never seen before in destiny history. I’m thinking basically all vanilla D2 perks should be cut. Sorry, no outlaw, kill clip rampage etc. I’m ok if perks released in the past two seasons (vorpal, lead from gold, etc) are preserved because these perks have had shorter lifespan as. But only as long as there is a hefty pool of new perks. Boys if you don’t want power creep and you don’t want to regrind the same weapons, this is the solution. It will take a lot of work and creativity from bungie. That’s the point. We need fresh content, stuff that we can talk about and be excited for, stuff that we can test the viability and fit into our builds like the good old days when perks felt fresh. The rest of this post is open to your thoughts and perk suggestions you would like to see. Feel free to post ideas and if I like them I’ll add them. (I’m not feeling particularly creative right now 🤷‍♀️). [b]Perks!![/b] 1. Double Kills increase reload speed of partially reload mag. 2. Sprinting with gun in hand charges the gun, increases damage and/or adds AOE splash effect (set amount of sprint time required)(thinking like turning your primary into a hive boomer after sprinting a long time). 3. Using a class ability gives you a temporary period where all shots fired come directly from reserves, meaning your mag size would stay full and as you shoot your reserves would deplete.(maybe cool on a shotgun or sniper). 4: Getting a precision kill temporarily slows nearby enemies (like firefly but adds slow effect instead of direct dmg). 5: Getting a melee kill temporarily buffs your weapons rate of fire to the next archetype (so a 750 smg would temporarily be buffed to 600 rpm). 6: Precision shots increase target acquisition/aim assist, stacks up to 5 (sniper perk). Not all perks have to be complex, they just have to be [i]different[/i] Edit I do not balance video games so And these perks will have to be balanced carefully around PvP that goes without saying.

This brings new flavor to the game

        • Oh how so many of you forget or weren't around for yr2 of D1. Same thing, or should I say very similar, happened. And more than once. The advantages are that now drops will matter a lot more to us. Well for a while. If they don't screw it up they can better balance things going forward. Which if they do people will be upset because right now all the known god rolls are out there. So if they're not obtainable or on a weapon with bad base stats people will be mad. If anything I have faith Bungie will screw this up royally. It's the one thing we can count on! Also all of you forget that this will unable them to bring back old content that is upgraded to current and act like it's a success that you can go after your fav xyz item again. Keep in mind that many times over they have made statements about manpower, time, and resources. So when this happens don't act shocked and make basic angry re-skin posts. I think it's rather clear the direction they're going.

            • Some said this already, but caping our weapons/gear is just this company doing what they did in the first game. Making everyone regrind for what they already have and knowing the WoW man's philosophy, that is not a grind that I will ever spend any time on. So looking forward to not really having new designs of gear and watching what I have drop for the next year knowing most of the designs are unappealing.

            • "Not directly, but gear can be re-issued in future Seasons. These re-issued versions will have a new Max Power Level based on the Season in which it is re-issued."

              • It's them creating a problem so they can fix it later. It's them making you rent weapons you've already paid for. It's ridiculous.
