What I don't get about people who are angry with no ascension.
So if you are at all active on this forum, by now you must have heard the hate from people because there will be no ascending of year one weapons after ttk comes out. My question is why are people mad at this change? You get to use all new weapons. Wouldn't that make the game more exciting? People complain the game is stale, yet they want to use the exact same weapons they have been since release!
For my second point I will address that these weapons will not be rendered useless. Remember that weapons in standard crucible are not affected by attack level, and will still hold relevance. Also, you can still use old weapons in pve. They may not be as effective, but they will still do damage.
And now for my last point. Does anyone remember the when the dark below was announced with weapons that would be better than vanilla gear? There was no ascendance, and there was no one who complained. In fact, the game worked just fine even with the increased values on attack of new weapons.
To sum his all up, people should not be getting mad about not being able to ascend weapons in ttk. Think of it as a new opportunity to make the game fresh. The only reason people are complaining is because they now know they have the option to ascend, and honestly, they should just quit complaining and play the game.
EDIT: Thank you all so much for your opinions. It has helped me understand where people are coming from and why they are mad about these new upcoming changes.
EDIT 2: Wow over 100 replies. Didn't expect this many people to give their input. Thanks everyone!
EDIT 3: 250 replies in just a few hours. To me, that is impressive. I'm glad to see so many people leaving their opinions on this post.

3 RepliesNice post, I completely agree with you. I'm excited for the Taken King. I'm ready for new weapons that I'll actually want and use. I'll still use my Fatebringer, VoC, and other raid weapons. I don't care that they'll probably do about 10% less damage than the new max attack level. I'm assuming the new attack level will be 400, but it could be higher since we know the new level cap will be at least 40. The Fatebringer will still be great for arc burn which boosts damage by 300%. It will still do roughly 2.75x more damage than a new non arc weapon with 400 attack in that situation. People had no trouble using weapons with 300 attack when The Dark Below was released. Allowing us to ascend our weapons with etheric light was a double edged sword. They knew they didn't have worthy replacements for our weapons in the HoW so etheric light was kind of a band-aid solution. The problem is now people will expect to be able to do this again. I'm pretty sure etheric light wasn't part of their original plan. It feels like they just threw that together to appease us until The Taken King is released. My takeaway from year one and what people need to realize is the last year has just been a trial run. Destiny is supposed to last for 10 years. There will be some growing pains, but I think 2.0 will be great. Bungie has always been great at capturing and analyzing gameplay data. They now have nearly 11 months of data to work with. The weapon rebalancing in 2.0 was developed using this data. Year two is their chance to learn from what worked and what didn't. Let's all forget about year one and move forward. I'm very optimistic about year two. We need to stop holding onto the past. A change could do us all some good.
