Just wondering if there were others besides this game? Point being if majority of games do not allow you to level up year one weapons for future release, then it's not as if Destiny is doing anything different, and so it is the norm and is expected. That was what I was leading up to, just thought there may have been more than one title.
-
But just because something is the norm, it doesn't mean it's the "right" thing to do be it in general or specifically for Destiny.
-
True especially since Bungie wants Destiny to be its own niche.

Edited by Dude of Valor: 10/15/2015 5:34:07 PMTrue. Though you run a risk either way in this instance. You either allow year one weapons to exist and thus even make far more powerful guns or render your DLC irrelevant in this RNG based game. That or you do what they are doing right now. I prefer option two even though it means no Thorn to use in the forcible future.
-
I liked what you've been saying until you mentioned thorn ;) haha
-
Lol that's okay. Thorn is my favourite gun and my first weapon exotic. Was able to get it quite early so have been through its worst (3 DoT and 6 bullets in IB) to its best. Will always hold it dear to me a star it every now and again in its honour.
-
I may be one of the few people that used thorn in PVE... and yeah that's pretty dead, but for the preferred pvp use it's fine. I wonder how bad it'll be in trials and Iron Banner. I used blue gear in Iron Banner and it worked fine.I don't think it was much more than a ten percent drop .. Low light may not hold that well this time. I'll still try it.
-
I would not use it outside of regular crucible. Think the damage rate will be terrible! Might try it some point. When I hit rank 5 me thinks.
-
The damage isn't that bad if you can keep around 290 light. Damage is based on total light level, rather than the attack of a individual weapon.
-
I thought it was based on both, and that a 170 weapon would only deal 100% of it's 170 damage. I have read here people who have tested it against high level enemies in PvE and have talked about it being rubbish.
-
Tested in King's Fall on Trash with Mida and Tears upon Stars. Did about 2% less damage with the Mida. (Not counting explosive rounds damage.)
