I think weapon reforging should return but...

Why not have weapon reforging return but have it cost a new currency/material that's hard to get? Something that has a rare drop rate or is a long grind to get. That way people can't abuse reforging to get God rolls on every gun and have to really think about what's worth reforging. I think that would be a good halfway point between suffering from horrible rng luck and just getting whatever you wanted. Edit. Some other ideas: •reforge allowed only on armsday and will cost 100 legendary marks •have it cost the same amount of legendary marks as the equivalent weapon type engram from the cryptarch Edit: The idea is to give relief to those with bad luck while also making it so you can't have every weapon in the game with a god roll. I believe it will have little effect in crucible if any. It might even increase the variety of weapons used. Making it so reforging is expensive will force players to think about if they are willing to risk rerolling a gun that has 2 out of 4 perks they want for that perfect 4 out of 4 perks roll. I bet people will settle for 2 or 3 out of 4 perks while giving complete trash rolls at least some chance of being used.

    Instead of introducing yet another currency, why not just something that won't take much currency at all? How about, in order to reforge a weapon, you have to submit it to the Gunsmith. The very next Armsday, he has 2 or 3 different rolls that you can choose from. Kind of how they do it with the packages. That way, you can't just run through all of your inventory of materials in one sitting until you get the perfect roll, but there's still a drawback (you have to wait).

    • I think they made a nice system with the armsday orders where u can find some weapon archetypes that u like, place the order and wait for a roll that u like. Makes it so u can get a solid weapon with perks that u like with less of a gamble but u have to wait for it and you have to have the order ahead of time. Those armsday weapons can become some of the best in the game with the system in place. I wouldn't mind if they made the vendor weapons perks reroll every week so if u wanted that God roll that came up for a gun, ud have to rebuy it and infuse it up. If reforming were to come back, if agree that it would have to be far more expensive so that you'd want to stick with a semi decent roll if u got it and not just continue indefinitely for the god roll. It was way too abusable during house of wolves.

    • Allow players to reforge only on armsday for 100 legendary marks per roll.

      • IB items reforging need to be back? - YES, SURE. Like Y1 destiny Drop rate is low, and IB only 1 time per month ... And Bungie need to stop to change the balance, nerf weapons and so on ....Every time you change something, you're only making it worse Enough to listen to nagging players ))) "I killed Khvostov 37 times!! It's OP!!! Bungie nerf it now!!!" ))) Crazy

      • If and that's a big if, it should only be for Iron Banner weapons like it was. They did abuse the crap or if it in HOW.

      • Well, having gotten some stinker roles this is a nice idea - but overall the fact is that in HOW the re rolling of weapons was hugely abusive. The chance to easily get a god -roll on every weapon was just not good. I still feel like Iron bananner weapons should be re-forgable. like in Y1 - but overall I can see its just better to not have this anymore. Even if I have had some stinky RNG

      • I didn't like re-forging, it takes away the coolness of getting a good roll on stuff, everything just seemed generic.

      • No. Especially to yet another form of currency. I hate this forum and the vast majority of crap ideas folk come up with to supposedly improve the game.

      • well, I won't lie- it would certainly make snipers more diverse. Might actually start seeing some Eirienes out there. I agree with this post primarily because the perks for the sold weapons seem to be selected from a small pool. Getting a package from the gunsmith takes every possible perk into consideration, but buying from him shortens that list considerably- for example, I've never seen a Lyudmila with Outlaw for sale (my dream roll).

      • Personally and like most I thought weapon reforging was a great addition to the game, however we all soon learned that reforging weapons turned what we thought were already OP weapons into even more powerful versions. I think the community and Bungie underestimated just how strong the weapons could become with perfect rolls, significantly bolstering a weapons capabilities, anyone who says the likes of rangefinder/hammer forged and shot package on a shotgun were fine are thick in the skull, it was broken beyond words. The reason most of us didn't notice the full effect of the weapon reforging was due to the exotics being just as broken, alot of the primaries back in the Thorn/Last Word era were brutal, way more powerful than anything we have now but were overshadowed by the exotics. Weapon reforging taught us a good lesson, it basically caused the removal of shot package from the game and another nerf to shotguns, which to be honest they needed anyway. As much fun as rerolling was, it broke the pvp scene, turning everything into a powerhouse, it was a good thing to remove it, its just too good to be in the game.

          There's that, or make perks more viable. Also make them synergies more with other perks or something to that effect. I'm really no fan of the perks that ask you to be near death to even have anything. They don't feel like they help at all, and in fact they don't until you are almost dead as far as the description is concerned. I guess it wouldn't necessarily get rid of bad luck, people will still want something other than what they get. Just another problem in the game that could help with something else if dealt with.

          I reckon it should have some sort of crafting element. If you want a specific perk you have to grind for the mats and any possibly a task like killing certain enemies. Make it so a couple exotics can be unlocked through getting certain perks on certain weapon turn it into an exotic weapon. Also possibly have it so you have sacrifice some weapons for the real desirable perks. Loose example - Hidden hand on a sniper- 200 spin metal, 125 legendary marks, 100 weapon parts. Kill 100 random majors and 3 specific ultras. Requires infusion of 1 exotic sniper to complete. Or add more materials that only drop from certain types or super rare ones that only drop from a specific ultras.

          • No! No more currencies, no more items to make redundant next update, no more useless grinding, no more of the crappy RNG related redundant-before-release shit! Just make it the same as it was (costing glimmer/weapon parts/motes) but add a time restriction (maybe once per day per weapon)

                • Just have reforging cost legendary marks so you couldn't reforge endlessly without having to grind marks.
