It’s funny how far this slid down the forums so fast but other smaller threads praising bungle stays up with less activity 😂

I already saw this coming when they did the reveal. I was like... "This is going to be even MORE tedious than what we've already had." And I'm right. I honestly am not sure there is a point for me to change into any of this new armor. It will be months... Before I get close to the setup that I already have and really the only thing I could improve on is the stats Mob, Res, Rec, Int, Dis, and Str. I'm sure late game armors can have better stats. But other than that there isn't a benefit to using the new armor. Except to look different. lol.

So many casuals upvoting this lol.

hell no

EOutsider316 is a -blam!-ing idiot. [spoiler]I know you’ll see this buddy because for some unknown reason you patrol this post religiously defending this god awful system.[/spoiler]

Personally I like the concept of the armor 2.0 system as it is meant to make the system more in depth and it also separates the casuals from the committed loyal fans and D1 players who really got screwed when D2 first came out. That being said I do feel that for a system whose soul purpose was to improve the overall ability to customize and allow for more diversified builds does not do so due to the fact that mods are locked behind the elemental affinity system. With weapons I feel this design concept would have worked as 2 of 3 weapon types already have a elemental affinity system. Thus I feel one of 3 things needs to happen here. 1) The first option, and my least recommended option is that every mod have a compatible version for each element. However as I said this is my least recommended option as it would create a rather ridiculous grind. 2) My second and middle child of the first and third options is that there be a option to change an items elemental affinity, through either use of glimmer, legendary shards, or if it needs to be harder then the use of upgrade modules. Now this is my middle child as while it does make things less frustrating it does still create restriction contrary to a system designed to create diversified customization. 3) My third and final option and my personally preference is that energy be non element based and be just energy for mods which would be non element specific. We would still have elemental resistances that reduce damage for specific elements but no mods would be specifically locked from use because it doesn't match the items elemental affinity. This option would allow for the diversity that armor 2.0, and prevent the irritation of getting the armor you want but not having the elemental affinity. But it would not be less grindy as the grind to find the desired mods would still be the same. Thus making good on their concept of customization without being to overly problematic.

I know! I've actually had to consider what perks I want to use, what weapons I want to pair with my subclass, what stat is most valuable to my playstyle, find out what mods are tied to affinity, find armor that rolls with my desired stats and affinity, then incrementally mod / upgrade my desired armor set knowing that I may find a better stat roll in the future, ensuring I have a lot of build weaknesses I could round out with a bit of time. Wait a minute, why is this a bad thing?

Armor 2.0 is there for people who like to min max and for people who play the game , not for lazy bums that want instant gratification . You putting less time into builds now only means that you're a casual and casuals don't need to min max , so basicly working as intended .

Idk I'm having fun with it. The DLC hasn't been out for long enough for me to feel like I'm being held back by this system. Like yeah you can't instantly have your favourite loadout with scavanger perks and whatnot but why would you be expecting to in the endgame of min/maxing this early into the DLCs lifespan? All I want is a collections tab for mods so I can see what I have and don't have, so I know which armor pieces are more valuable to me.
