 Holy poo poo, yes. There really is nothing like that feeling of suspense you get when you see that it has Disorienting Grenades and you have to go inspect to see if it has Auto-Loading.

I'm so goddamn lazy with this game, and don't play nearly as much as I thought. I don't think I've done multiple vendor resets in many seasons, but worse is I'm clearing out backlogs of quests and realising things I've left for so long. I have now finished: Parasite quest Shadowkeep campaign Some exotic catalyst quests Outstanding seasonal final missions I apparently never did for some reason??? Planning to just finish the last couple steps of like a dozen other things too. Apparently it's season of stop leaving things 75% done for me lol

have they ever changed the slot of a weapon except for between D1 and D2? tbh with how frequently stasis and strand weapons appear now I kinda don't really see the value in separating them anymore but I'm with you on it probably being an untenable operation from the db perspective, unless they could hotwire infusion and slot filtering easily.

Shotguns should be in the power slot, but only when in crucible.

Year 1 weapons were the weirdest loving thing in hindsight. That was before I was hardcore enough to care about dps calculations, so I don't know how the actual numbers worked out, but having one slot to choose between a shotgun or a rocket launcher seemed like an incredibly dumb choice, one to which I said "rocket launcher" to every time.

It was even weirder because rolls were all fixed, so at any given moment there was an objective best weapon of each archetype (maybe even an objective best weapon in the game) and it wouldn’t change until the next content drop

The thing I always remember about Y1 was in the betas and demos. Bungie said they retooled it all for the esports sweaties, to make it truly an esport like Counterstrike, or like Halo was ruined into by 343. To their credit, the sweatlords told them, repeatedly, "this sucks, we want D1" and were rebuffed. For once, MLG Mountainmen weren't the ones to gently caress the game up and actually tried to get Bungie to course correct lmao

I think one of the weirdest phenomenons of sunset weapons has got to be when they're reissued, with identical stats and similar perk pools and the response is "wow this sucks now". Sometimes it's because they take out the real godroll perk combo people loved, but often it's just because it's powercrept to hell now, which makes me wonder of a bunch of sunset weapons how many would still be regularly used considering the better options available. Obviously there'd be some favourites, but I feel like a lot would've been naturally phased out by now even if they weren't sunset. Which makes me wonder if we ever needed sunsetting to get people to use different things, but also makes me wonder how big of an impact sunsetting really had in the long run (besides reputation lol). I think we're at the point where a lot of sunset weapons are back in some form anyway, right? It's basically Dawn and Forge weapons left? I'd say also older playlist weapons but they seem to just be reissuing those anyway.

Dawn, Forge, and the old pinnacle pursuit weapons, some of which were insanely overpowered and getting rid of them was one of their goals

Ah yeah the Pinnacle weapons. Which I feel like now they'd just spot nerf them, like they do Immortal and its ilk. Also with the Prophecy update we now only have two dungeons (Grasp and Pit) and two raids (Vault and Garden) that haven't had the loot itself refreshed with origin traits, which is kind of neat. It's actually good to know they're at least going back over older endgame content. Altho still loling that Shattered Throne is just stuff you can get via Blind Well pretty easily.

Guns that remain to be brought back: Levianthan weapons Mercury Forge/Osiris/Lost Prophecy weapons Mars/Braytech weapons (osprey and technically werewolf are in but...) Tangled Shore/Eliksni weapons (some of these sneak in, like lethal abundance is a reskin of these autos) Black Armoury Season of the Undying Vex-construction weapons Season of Dawn Saint-14 inspired weapons Trophy Hunter and Pyroclastic flow Crown of Sorrows Plus they've been bringing back a bunch of the other foundries so I think there are still a few random green and blue weapons they could turn legendary.

I’m on Xbox and running into a weird problem. Whenever I get a fireteam invite from the destiny looking for group phone app, I see it appear and I go to hit accept but nothing happens. I tried restarting the game and my Xbox but nothing has solved it. Has anyone else ran into this and know how to fix it?

DPS in year one was an absolutely bizarre experience. You got like two full rear end minutes to damage Calus but 75% of that was plinking away at him with an auto rifle. And without Well of Radiance, damage phases were actually somewhat dangerous. I kind of got what they were going for with sunsetting. The idea was they could put really strong stuff in the game but it wouldn't be too oppressive because it would get cycled out eventually. This didn't just apply to weapons like Mountaintop, Not Forgotten and Recluse, but to mods like Warmind Cells. Now all of that stuff just seems kind of quaint compared to subclass 3.0 and the artifact mods we have now. Oh your Warmind Cell build can blow up an entire room? Have you met my good friend Sunshot? Even Recluse would probably be kind of poo poo now because all legendary primaries feel like garbage.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I agree, but my bad take that I secretly think is good is that they should go in the opposite direction, back to primary / secondary / heavy. That's never happening with the way the artifact works so I assume this is your fiendish plan to get champions removed from the game.

syntaxfunction posted:Which makes me wonder if we ever needed sunsetting to get people to use different things, but also makes me wonder how big of an impact sunsetting really had in the long run (besides reputation lol). mountaintop, recluse, and wendigo were 99% of the reason that sunsetting happened. it was a complete, versatile loadout with Exotic level power in every slot that could be pulled from collections. the other 1% was that bungie was either too afraid or too inexperienced to make good perks. outlaw/rampage ruled every gun it was available for because there just wasn't anything else worth chasing. even if they weren't suited to your playstyle, the power bumps that those gave were so far beyond any other perk that there was no point in chasing anything else anyway it turned out that pinnacles were too strong for sunsetting and eventually had to be solved by targeted nerfs anyway, the thing that everyone told them to do from day 1 outlaw/rampage being king poo poo of turd mountain was solved by weapon design maturing further and guns getting better perks and balance, the other thing that everyone told them to do from day 1 the moral of the story is that bungie is good at tuning videogames but not good at balancing them and thinking ahead (or just listening to their community) is not their strong point

I think the moral of the story is that Luke Smith was bad at that stuff. Joegoroth turned out to be okay at that stuff and bad at entirely different stuff.

luke smith was responsible for an entirely different set of problems unrelated to sunsetting. luke smith sucked rear end but he is not the boogeyman behind everything.
