This feels as good a time as any to put my Last Wish horror story in this thread: On a whim joined an LFG for a Petra's Run, figuring if I got it done I might go knock out the rest of the Rivensbane seal. After a few bad attempts we make it to Queenswalk and it's smooth sailing, me and another guy make it down to the elevator. We get to the part where Kalli tells you "I'm glad you did not heed her words.", you know it's bad because specific details are stuck in my mind. It could not have been a cleaner queenswalk; ballholder was counting down and all I would've had to do is hold W and take the rock to the hole. He hits 0 and gets pulled in...And brings the heart in with him. We're softlocked. We wipe. It's 3AM.

GoGoGadgetChris posted:The upcoming overhaul to 'Power Level' will eliminate the concept of 'Sunset' gear. Season 1-10 gear will be usable in all content without an inherent penalty to damage in & damage out. I mean, given they seem to want to phase out power, it seems plausible for the sake of making the system simple and saving them the trouble of carving out caveats for sunset gear. But it also just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. To get rid of power level, all they need to do to get rid of power level is lock everyone and all gear at 1810, and hide the numbers. Behind the scenes, sunset gear is still 1600, and the grey triangle is the way you know the gun will be a handicap. So few people have hung onto season 1-10 gear, and they've gone through the trouble of basically phasing out any sunset gear dropping that it feels like it's not really going to be some exciting news to suddenly be allowed to use that old stuff, and it's not like it's even going to be very exciting given how much of it has been power-crept anyways. If they unsunet my Blast Furnace, I'll still be waiting for them to re-issue it. Basically, unsunsetting poo poo now would probably add nothing and just piss some people off.

There is nothing confirmed how "A World Without Power" will work, but it's very confirmed that they are moving that direction from various leaks and interviews with bungie leads. Power is extremely load bearing in bungie's RPG design. They can't just rip it out or their entire growth and reward system breaks down. World Without Power _was_ scheduled for Lightfall, but we didn't get it... instead we got the increased difficulty portion and them putting power into a weird zombie state that we have now.

GGGC I like you but you gotta stop doing this thing where you tell everyone about some hot new leak but never ever post where you found it or how you know. neutral milf hotel posted:We're folks farming this check point? Lol Something about Lightfall's release removed the boundary for Gahlran's AI to not be willing to jump off the back edge of the arena to chase whoever has his aggro, so you could start the encounter and finish it in literal seconds with a Strand grapple or an Eager Edge sword. https://twitter.com/DestinyBulletn/status/1635792412441481217 Two things: 1) They just removed the checkpoint, you can still just complete the dungeon up to the boss and do it anyways, which makes this farm take five minutes per run instead of less than one, which is still great really. 2) Only Caiatl guarantees high-start Artifice armor, so the AMAZING ARTIFICE FARM everyone said this was was pretty exaggerated, he'd usually give you something in the high fifties-low sixties. It is nice if you're the kind of insane person who's willing to slam your head against a brick wall for a god-rolled Lingering Dread though (like me)

I guarantee you if they go through with overhauling the power system, that old sunset weapons will stay unusable somehow. They'll make a specific exception, maybe make the weapons unusable entirely.

idk if they would. Are any of the sunset weapons actually Op rn in base level activities? They've nerfed recluse, mountaintop and revoker while Redrix's and Wendigo were both power crept out.

I presume you have a source you can't out or something, but again, uncle at nintendo. I'm not dancing, I immediately said 'no proof from Bungie is available'. Uncle Nintendo isn't trying to trick you into... leaving your gear alone. As for 'unsetting would piss people off', you're totally right. I think it's something that would make a lot of people kinda pissed if they feel like they deleted something just because of sunsetting. Even though almost every single sunset gun has been power crept, directly nerfed, reissued or replaced by an outright better gun, people would bitch and moan that they felt Lied to. If I were Bungie and I knew the post-power system was going to UnSet gear, I'd spend a few seasons reissuing everyone's favorite sunset guns (especially if they had Eververse Ornaments for sale in year 2 and 3) to make sure nobody cares about their old stuff. Your idea for hidden numbers is good, but Destiny being Destiny, I feel like people will always want to watch a number go up (and Guardian Ranks ain't it...) I could just as easily see a system with features like - Overall player 'Level' instead of looking at the level of your gear slots. No more frustrating pinnacle drops in the wrong slot! - Instead of clunky confusing numbers like 1750 and 1810, it could be a nice clean range of 1 to 100 - It could be account-wide instead of character-based. No pressure to play only one or more than one character! - You could gain levels from XP (slow progress) or from Weekly/Seasonal challenges (fast, time-gated progress) which would level the playing field for the most part but allow people to really poopsock for a tiny advantage if they wanted to - They've been doing a lot of testing with 'temporarily raising your level for this mission' so they could even make it so everyone's power level matches the highest in the fireteam or something. That would make it way easier to attract new players if they can instantly tag along with their seasoned veteran friend - It would let them do stuff like 'Grandmaster Content is level 100 but does not grant any benefits to player levels past 75' etc which is an easy 1:1 to current systems. - It would reset every season of course

Imagine if they removed power but made sunset weapons just lower. That would probably do it, don't cha know. They already have a tag for sunset, so it's not like they couldn't make sunset = 10 behind the scenes while everything else is 1000. Honestly people need to just accept those guns are gone. I know it's controversial (for some reason) but Bungo should just take them out of the game already, stop letting people hang on to something that will never happen.

Bungie probably wants people to be Happy gamers though, so instead of Deleting gear (which makes gamers sad) they could just give new, better gear (to make gamers happy) Some would still bitch & moan but you can't make everyone happy all the time.

It's pretty clear whenever I read fanfiction about where people want the game to go (mine included) whether people see this as an MMO or RPG first and foremost, or a shooter first. There's no judgement I just think it's neat. My hot ideas for light level were seemingly minute. The slot has the number, not the items, and all the things in that slot are just whatever level the slot is. I'm boring apparently.

That leak is old and looks fake as hell anyway. Blast Furnace and Kindled Orchid hasn't been power crept. And I grinded my rear end off for them for no reason in the end so they better not just bring them back up years after the damage is done. Just delete the sunset guns from the game and fully rip the band-aid off.

But yeah, with a hidden power system I kind of just figured artifact power would be achieving almost all the bullet points you just outlined. Speaking of future rewards: What has my curiosity is they mentioned that the exotic mission rotator coming in 22 or whatever would have good rewards or something that seemed to imply something more/new, and obviously, something that isn't just a pinnacle engram. Perhaps it's just going to be integrating those old exotics into something akin to Rev0 and Vexcalibur.

haveblue posted:Why is it your decision whether I read leaks? What are you talking about? It's not. Are you asking why I post Some Leaks and not All Leaks? Because some leaks are either Not True, can't be confirmed, or would be dickish to spoil (plot, content etc) so it would be sucky to post them. I haven't posted links to Original Sources because 'Trace Rifle 4% Buff' is one tweet away from 'Witness has three balls and we have to find the 4th in his butt'. Everything is totally available to anyone who wants to read it, I just don't recommend it. D2Leaks - crazy lady named Liz had some leaks in 2021 and has been chasing that dragon ever since. 20% of the content is true, 80% is bologna trying to get clicks. The 20% is stolen from the sources below D2News Network - 50% true, 25% unknown, 25% bologna Bungie Leaks - 75% true, 20% unknown, 5% bologna Discord user Freezing Dart - 75% true, 25% unknown Discord user Dinosaur - 100% true Discord user XenoMarvel - 50% true, 25% unknown, 25% bologna

You know I've taken guesses at what they were doing in the game and I've been like 50/50 on what I get right too? Does that mean I am a credible leak source? You have listed one outlier and also a bunch of people who pretty much are as good as the average person at guessing stuff lol The only time I've seen leaks be properly accurate is right before release, but to be honest as far as light level and keeping sunset weapons go it's not even important. Bungie ain't gonna suddenly bring back all the poo poo they sunset, power crept or not. Why bother when the process of reissuing with new perk pools and an origin trait has been such a success? Even if "everything is the same light level from now on" is true (and it probably will be at some point is my *guess*) it doesn't mean what everyone seems to hope it means.
