So according to the latest news, you will not be able to upgrade [i][b]legendary[/b][/i] year one weapons/armor. All those dragon strikes for Hopscotch and guess what... there will be stronger ones out. Those fancy adept weapons from trials... pfft sit down, we got bigger and better ones coming. Oh wait, the mighty Fatebringer will be no more. Gotta love the direction this game is heading in. 10 years people this is the plan. Mean while, $1000 later, regrind again.
In case you people still want to call it a [u]MMO[/u] *cough From Bungie-
Destiny is a first-person shooter video game developed by Bungie and published by Activision. Released on September 9, 2014, Destiny marked Bungie's first new franchise since the Halo series. Set in a "mythic science fiction"
I love it! The flames are rising in the forums now. So many similar topics all over the place. I might change my name to Firestarter. Keep up the good work. This stuff is gold, especially when bored at work. I need more entertainment. Not sure how long this topic will stay alive before it's nuked like a previous topic I created. I also appreciate the defenders justifying their hard earned time. Keep telling yourself it wasn't all for nothing.
Picture your favorite car... Do you buy the next model each year or do you hold onto it because you love it? Too expensive, no problem. Do you buy new ice cream every week or do you stick with what you love? You have your comforts and so do I.
Have a nice day!

Why bother using legendaries? Might as well keep using the khostov for the entire 10 years

What's the point in getting out of bed every day. You're just going to die of old age (if you're lucky) at some point....

It's all speculation, but all our current weapons should still be relevant in standard crucible. That's why I'll be keeping my hopscotch for now. I may find something better in year 2, and I'll enjoy using that too. Let's put things in context. Pve players are worried about fatebringer becoming irrelevant. Why use fatebringer? It makes completing current activities easier. It's not the most versatile handcannon, but people love that firefly for getting to the rewards quicker. Nobody is stopping anyone from using it in vog in year 2. There will be loads of new weapons, for loads of new activities. We don't even know what the 'next fatebringer' is! There could be something that completely eclipses it! Are people really that afraid of the unknown? Don't be scared guardians, it's just a game! Everything will be alright, you wait and see. Moaning about it now just makes you look silly and closed minded! Save the tears for when you actually have tangible evidence that Bungie 'ruined' your experience.

You would think Bungie learned from the exotic weapon reset with TDB. Then they get it right with weapon ascension on all weapons. Then they screw it up again. They are the most schizophrenic game developers out there.
-
Let's be frank - constantly allowing the players to ascend old weapons will create no incentives whatsoever to obtain the new and fresh gear the development team creates. Eventually people would find the holy grail of weaponry and Bungie would be forced to either make a better weapon, over and over, therein creating endless power creep in the meta, or they'd be constantly creating inferior weapons that nobody will ever use unless they're too new to the game to get that "holy grail", which therein bars them from obtaining "top tier" gear. I like my Fatebringer as much as the next guy, but you must acknowledge that they don't want one weapon to reign supreme for the entirety of Destiny's lifetime. Why bother making Arc primaries if everyone actively ignores them? Tl;dr - Allowing upgrades results in power creep and unbalance among the PvP community, or the creation of sub-par weapons in comparison.

Keep crying, this is the 6th post like this I've seen today

Yea I'm so mad about this. I'm still mad at activision 'cause all the hours I wasted on COD4 getting to prestige 10 meant nothing when WAW came out and then they did it to me again the next year with MW2, and the year after that! And All the grinding I did in GT4 meant nothing because I had to start again when GT5 came out! I'm so mad! I can't trust any gaming company any more! All I want is 15 years of a companies' time, creativity and IP all at once and for like $50 and all these faceless greedy corporations keep wanting to sell me products for a profit! Seriously! Like I've already given them money once, I'm pretty much keeping them in business!

Correction. Not ALL year one weapons, only year one[b] LEGENDARY[/b] weapons.

Edited by ZeroEmerald: 8/4/2015 10:51:10 PMBasically, i've learnt my lesson, if Bungie plans to burn our fingers this way. I'll play the Taken King. I won't dismantle any of my old gear, even if it means having no space for new stuff. I will rinse through the content (such as doing the story and then doing the raid at least once) but no way am I going to put as many hours as i've done into Year 1. No -blam!-ing way. If this is how they're going to roll from now on, i'm definitely not putting the same effort in.

Really?

Edited by Afawafa: 8/4/2015 11:37:26 PMSo? Everything we ever do in any game is for nothing. The moment we stop playing, all those hours are wasted. All the gear you've grinded allowed you to be the greatest at some point of time. That point is now over, and there's a new goal to reach with your current gear being a stepping stone.

Idiot.

Get over it you crybaby

Edited by CP Vortex: 8/4/2015 11:28:46 PMWhat new news?
-
Id hold off on saying that everything weve done year one is all for nothing. But anyways, using guns for the next 9 years isnt something I want to be doing even thought I love my VoC
-
This.
-
I'm not saying I did it on purpose but that's why I always dumped my legendaries. Most suck anyways.
-
The game was fun. Using the bad ass weapons I worked hard for has been fun. It will be fun again to find things better than the almighty Fatebringer. You've grown too attached.
-
let's try to think of this as a new chapter. you worked to be the strongest guardian you could. if bungie isn't lying this time, this expansion will be huge. hopefully great weapons & armor & activities.
-
Oh well.. will still have my exotics!
-
Year 1 grind yeah ready for the year 2 grind bring it on!!
-
Why is that a bad thing? Sorry, but I like the thought of using new weapons. If they come out with weapons better than what's the gold standard now, why is that a bad thing?
-
The endless grind continues......
