[quote]and now they tell us that sunset ( or limited power gears IYW) are not something good, which was what we told to bungie in the first place[/quote] Well, no, they aren’t changing their minds because they suddenly decided Sunsetting was the wrong decision. What they actually said in the TWID is that keeping the reduced Light Levels of Sunset Gear doesn’t make sense anymore with the [b]Fireteam Power[/b] feature (which is designed to allow players to engage with higher end content alongside their friends even if they haven’t necessarily spent the past month grinding out their Light) coming with TFS. This should be readily apparent because automatically raising the Power Level of everyone in a fireteam to five below the leader (provided they aren’t already higher) [i]while[/i] keeping Sunset gears at their reduced LLs would mean that: 1) Solo Players would not be able to use Sunset Gear in this fashion without incurring the originally intended penalty, and 2) Fireteam Leaders in higher LL activities would essentially be railroaded into using non-Sunset gear while everyone else could load in with a Sunset weapon in every slot and still be able to function adequately. Penalizing Solo players and Fireteam Leaders alone does not make for a healthy gameplay environment. - That being said, many players are understandably upset because they deleted gear that they may have spent several tens of hours grinding the same content over and over to attain, under the belief that these items would not be viable at any point in the future; this is an entirely valid viewpoint to hold. Far less valid is the argument that by reversing Sunsetting the devs have essentially “lied” to players as to the necessity of the decision in the first place. To those I would say: 1) Power Creep will [i]always[/i] be a concern for a dev that wants to create interesting content that meets a minimum level of challenge for the playerbase, and 2) With the introduction of Stasis and Strand, the devs completely changed the baseline of what constituted Power Creep within the game as they decided to rework the Light Subclasses and a variety of weapon Perks with 3.0 verbs (making Recluse’s former add clearing capabilities look quaint by comparison). In response to the second point the devs made several decisions to reintroduce difficulty by adding new and more abundant modifiers to various activities, rebalancing various Perks and Mods and modifying the benefits of the Resilience stat. The game is much more centered on capable buildcrafting than ever before, rather than grinding away for a specific “easy victory” weapon. (΄◉◞౪◟◉｀)
