It now costs the [u]equivalent[/u] of 340 enhancement cores to masterwork an exotic. [spoiler]my main complaint is not the cost, we need rpg style grind...buuUuuUut....masterworked armor is not 340 cores better than regular armor. It should be. It should be very noticeable, instead of, on many classes it is negligible with instant recharges etc..[/spoiler] I dont care, and haven't cared about master working at all, even before the 2.0 hit. It isn't relevant for most activities. It doesnt alter your play enough to be worth so much, so to me, and alot of others, it isn't worth it; even more so now that 2.0 is live. Bungie has created a system where the peak armor requires RPG level grind to obtain, but offers only FPS (basic/irrelevant/unnoticeable) level perks. One way or the other there needs to be balance on what we put in, and get out of our armor, right now, its tipping the scales upside down in favor of input. To correct this, armor 2.0 needs to be revised. 1. Elemental Affinity can stay, but it should offer PVE resistance automatically. 2. Mods need to be strengthened across the board, make them worth those cores. 3. Energy levels should offer spendable stat points, to allocate in whichever stat you choose, each time you level up. This would offer a base incentive for people to masterwork every armor peice they like. The core economy and play time, as well as perceived gains, all increase. 4. Exotic mods (limit to 1 equipped across all armor) costing nearly the whole energy bar, which should range from granting invisibility, to increasing melee damage etc. This would give players a reason to max out their armors, and the feeling of real build variation, as well as pinnacle accomplishment. 5. Make an armorsmith vendor. Sell 3 mods, rotating to a different 3 every week. This, I strongly believe, will make armor 2.0 actually work, and be fun. Bungie also benefits from the incentivized grind of armor 2.0, so incentivize it...bungie.
