Just found this is in #feedback. It needs a read.

[quote]You are crack on. The individual gun nerfs were PvP related, but the wholesale rendering of all year one weapons and gear to worthless? No one wanted that, there was no hew and cry. That was Bungie course correcting and a complete reversal of DeeJ's own words. Not that we are not used to that... Seriously, point to any post that complained about field scout, firefly, or the variety of gun perks we had. Final round? Sure. Shot package and range finder? Sure. Where did anyone post, "I sure wish Nightfall rewards would be removed, the XP bonus and great weapon drops!"? Where did anyone post, "You know, people do these old raids too much. If only there was some way to make the year one content completely irrelevant..."? Where did anyone post, "I'm tired of playing the old stuff. I wish they would paywall or close off entirely large pieces of the game..."? Place the blame where it belongs - squarely in the lap of a group of "developers" who are quickly gaining a reputation for unerringly making decisions which make their "MMO" more confined, restricted, and less fun with each "addition".[/quote] I agree- this man has literally summed up the devs and this game as a whole.

  • I can't really agree with this... I mean, yea the NF thing is somewhat ridiculous. They shouldn't have taken the buff off and the rewards should be great. Don't forget that the rewards in year 1 would sometimes give you 13 Ascendant shards, though. Everything else is sort of the way it should have been. You shouldn't be able to rely on year 1 weapons to do year 2 things. That would have everyone still be using Fate bringer and VOC and all of those other "Everyones Favorite" weapons. This time around, there is a lot more variety. You can't let everyone still use year 1 weapons and armor because it would make no sense to make new weapons and armor. You have to be able to progress through the game with new stuff with every expansion because that's how most games do it. If you want a fate bringer, grind for the Imago loop with Firefly. It seriously works just as good, if not better, than the fate bringer but it doesn't have Arc burn. You want a VoC? Grind for Treads upon Stars or go buy "Not like the others" from the crucible/vanguard guy *I forget which one it was* There weren't many guns used in variety in year 1. Arc burn NF had Fatebringer and Found Verdict. Solar burn used Voc and whatever shotgun or sniper that had solar. Void you used Word of Crota and Swordbreaker or P.R. There was literally 5 raid guns out of both the raids that were viable weapons that people used all of the time. 1 Fatbringer, 2 VoC, 3 Black Hammer, 4 Found Verdict and 5 Word of Crota. No other weapon from the raids were ever used anyone unless the NF had a specific burn. There were maybe 5 more guns that were from vendors that were worth getting and people used. If everyone would just get over the fact that these year 1 guns aren't ever going to come back then you would see that there are year 2 guns with the exact same stats and sometimes the exact same perks as those guns you loved the most! There is literally a year 2 gun for every favorite year 1 gun. What I think they should do with the old raids and POE is maybe make a Weekly Nightfall Raid. It would run along side the Weekly Nightfall and would be a random raid or POE 35, excluding Kings Fall. The LL would be 300+. The raids mechanics would be the same but maybe they can add a few small things. There would be more yellow bar majors and the HP for each boss fight would be higher. Each chest can drop you moldering shards, Three of Coins, Ant. Ruins, Stolen Ruins, Materials, Weapon Part Stacks, Glimmer Stacks, Random keys for the dread naught, strange coins stacks, mote stacks, random legendary engrams and so on. Each boss battle could drop you a mixture of the last sentence plus a random Nightfall Tier/300+ LL Gear (Guns, Armor, Exotics, whatever). There shouldn't be year 2 varients of the Fate Bringer and all of those raid guns. They should let you be able to replay those raids for different drops though. I personally think that would be the best idea to ever come to light for destiny. That way Year 1 players can have a reason to play those raids again for nostalgia and grinding and year 2 newbs can play them to see the glory of year 1.
