At first, I was all for the chaos, the pure insanity driven by watching bosses get melted, entire rooms dying to an auto rifle firing rockets and shotgun shells. It was fun an exciting to watch....till I realized my pc was too good even with the all videos I watched and the settings changed to make the glitch work.
As an outside observer, not able to join in the fun, unlike laser tag weekend, I saw the reason why people have stated their hatred of it. It felt like an exclusive club that the many will enjoy and abuse, while others watch till the update takes it all away.
If this was something else, like a guaranteed way to craft abominations, where everyone can enjoy it by simply having craftable weapons unlocked, than I would fall back onto "Let chaos reign" . But seeing as how i have yet to perform it, and have seen efforts of survival feel wasted when another player simply lets loose hell. My point of view is in the middle ground, i see its good, and now i see its bad.
Will it change the game?, no, just like laser tag weekend, it will be a fun romp through high damage death. Then it will be patched away to never be seen again until the telesto becomes craftable..than some new hell will rise where that will shot sniper round stick bombs at people
Thats all, i hope alot of people join me on the fence to watch the world burn around us

Edited by Kuhl MC: 9/17/2023 12:13:08 PMMy opinion is, that stuff like that shouldn't exist. Exploits like that lead to perma bans in any other multiplayer game, rightfully so imo. It not only completely destroys PvP (which I don't care about, not touching that cesspool at all since D1), but also devalues any PvE achievement, that certain people worked hard for in the past (GMs, Master Raids, solo dungeons, etc.). An absolute disgrace from Bungie's side, probably because they simply have no emergency teams on D2 anymore over the week-ends to cut costs... No rollback means, that the damage is inevitably done, while every in comparison minor thing in the past (like shards from event class items or infinte supers) were addressed immediately, leading to disabled abilities, loadouts, etc. Why not simply disable crafting across the board, as soon as those first abominations popped up and insta ban those, who abused them as any other game dev would have done? Maybe, because they than had to ban half of their so called "community voices" a.k.a. streamers and Youtubers thus loosing parts of their hype train and free marketing agenda? And isn't it funny, that no one talks about legendary shards and increased focusing costs anymore? Just pathetic imo and a clear indicator, that they don't care for their aging cash cow anymore. Can't imagine, that they had handled this the way they did now back in year one or two, absolutely no way. Lost any interest in playing due to this, especially, because my normal crafted weapons will also be disabled until they fixed this due to those just "having fun"... Thanks for nothing!
