Power Creep – Fix needed in D2 ?
[spoiler]Power creep is a process that sometimes occurs in games where new content [b]slowly[/b] usurps the power of previous alternatives. This leads to players abandoning previous options in favor of the latest and more powerful alternatives, resulting in an inevitable increase in power throughout the game.[/spoiler]
I think the Power creep in Destiny 1 was abysmal. One of, if not the worst system I have ever had the experience of playing with. Now, I understand that power creep itself is sometimes necessary for a game to continue a healthy life and that I am not advocating against it.
What I’m saying is, the Power creep methods used by Bungie have been detrimental to the players much more than they needed to be. You see, apparently, nobody ever told Bungie that Power creep is supposed to happen slowly.
In a game, that claims to be about loot. Never, ever, ever, should a snap of the developer’s fingers cause all our hard-fought loot to become useless.
Please, someone explain to me why I need to farm the same exotic weapon that I have had sitting in my vault for the last two years again?
It feels like Destiny pretty much got smaller with every so called "expansion". This is something I hope they do a better job with in Destiny 2. What do you guys think?

Edited by KitsuneSonow: 6/6/2017 6:55:53 PMMost games either do one of two things when an expansion/level cap increase is release: -Make you re-farm weapons that you already have at higher levels -Make you farm new equipment that is much more powerful than your old equipment In Year 1 Destiny you could literately use all your old weapons until year 2 and after Year 2 basically anything you obtained you could keep/use forever, so Destiny is a lot more lenient with these. Also, to be honest, when power creep usually happens you see a significant change in how much damage is being dealt to targets, and that just doesn't really happen in Destiny because they cap how much damage you deal. Even with my 400 light gear, I still do only ~200 damage with Vision of confluence against a level 2 Dreg. Finally, some gear has actually been worse than what has come previously so.....there is that too.... For the sake of the argument I will say it needs to be changed, but in a way that makes us feel more powerful with each batch of new weapons that are released and removing damage caps on enemies.
