The idea of having double anti champ mods is good, I would hope they'd make the two options different so they don't end up repeating that season where the only overload options were scout and pulse or something, i.e 'land multiple hits on this rear end in a top hat who keeps teleporting and resetting the shot count.'

Match game was cool and good bc it made me use sub-optimal guns and I enjoy managing my vault to ensure I have appropriate options for each gun type and color. I wish shields were stronger against off color weapons.

Champions are cool and good, I wish they iterated on them though

I like that champ mods rotate so we are forced to use some different guns occasionally. I don't love having like 2 primary ammo mods to deal with 2 diff champ types but than it forces you to use an exotic or something or play your class to get the champ modifier like ignitions or radient so its ok bc there's a gameplay answer.

Bastion is basically hit scan, does a bunch of damage and is GOAT'd. It carried me through the hell that was master totems at the time although deciding LMAO everyone run rockets and we'll have 2 nerds spaced out in the rotation on aeons may have also had something to do with it since you can finish for heavy bricks and trivialize the encounter.

Match game would be fine if they kept it to team activities where you have 3 subclasses and 9 guns. In solos where you have 1 and 3 it didn't work nearly as well

I strongly feel that barrier and overload champs should not be able to mingle together if one of them can make the other invulnerable (I'm looking at you servitor/chieftain champs!).

The issue with exotics is you can only have one at a time equipped, so if there's a massive barrier shaped hole in the seasonal mods, you're going to need arbalest or wishender. It doesn't encourage you to use an exotic, it encourages you to use one of the same 2 or 3 exotics constantly to get around the problem.

Yeah you can just use radiant or other subclass verbs, but not every class has an easy way of getting it on demand like hunters do.

It might be notable that they're saying these weapons' perks will be 'enhanceable' but they didn't say 'craftable', so it sounds like it'll be some kind of system where you can raise perks on non-crafted weapons to be enhanced as well? But still only certain weapons, if they're specifically listing these ones in particular?

This ability probably has to be built into the item from the beginning and won’t be added to anything retroactively. Basically kind of soft sunsetting older Legendaries.

So we had sunsetting, then origin traits were like Sunset 2.0 and now this is Sunset 3.0 lol

I'm okay with it tho, I've got like 150 guns total, and a chunk of those are exotics, so I'll probably just refarm them anyway if it'll be any purple after XYZ date.

sunset 2 this and sunset 3 that. it's all bullshit, this is not sunsetting. sunsetting made things unusable, the evolution of gear is not sunsetting because the evolution of gear does not render the previous generation useless

Okay, soft sunsetting then.

Or alternatively we could petition Bungie to do a proper sunset. It *does* feel like we're due.

sunset the players i think

Waroduce
Aug 5, 2008
there is no sunsetting nerds. this is like saying adept weapons sunset other weapons.

there is like literally 1 enhanced perk that actually matters and its enhanced recon so you don't have to worry about going too fast on your izzy rocket rotation. if you are not literally doing that incredibly specific thing, none of the enhanced perks actually matter OP they are just varying degree's of nice to have. i think the last time I even izzy swapped out side of a lowman was....contest RoN????? for planets?

other considerations

Enhanced surrounded which...no one uses or does anything with outside of lowman strats or ocassionally accidently proc-ing on crota. you might have it on your crafted sword but are you actually maneuvering crota around to proc it? big doubt bc its hella annoying to do and as the tractor titan in lowman i am responsible for positioning, i am very familiar with how annoying it is to proc that or synco's. It sucks and you usually have to use the tower guys which opens a whole different set of problems, espc when if you're trying to do the strand, shotgun, punch situation.

Enhanced overflow - last relevant on thoughtless F. maybe some edge use cases in older fusions but Envious Assassin is so hot rn

4TTC - doesn't exist on rockets so lol, but even if linears or MGs were in anyway relevant it just extends your window which is like nice....but you don't need.

field prep - more ammo good but like ususally heavy ammo is not a big issue anymore? we all have cenotaph friends or know to run finder/scout with exotic primary.

idk do any of the other enhanced perks matter or do anything

i had a break up with enhanced incandescent during crota day one bc i would rather stuff be simply dead than scorched and left bridge to swap my ammit to ONE FOR ALL and never looked back but this is true i have heard if you build into it the stack thing is very fun and make big boom. I am also a titan so like maybe more relevant for other classes.

This is a game where to accomplish META DPS and all that poo poo you need like 12 guns in the vault tops, so enhanced perks are about as useful as having anything else in your vault.

The reason people keep saying sunsetting is because the devs seem to be nudging people to farm new weapons to replace old. No old guns are not verboten but it's spirit not letter of the law obviously. Also you *can* still use those sunset weapons, especially in power neglected activities like PvP so iunno, I guess they only got half sunset :v:

No one is forcing you to drop old weapons, it isn't TRVE SVNSET but also the intention is there, and that's good enough for most people to reference sunsetting, that's it. There's no conspiracy.

After dabbling with Voltshot and Incandescent and still loving it on some guns I',m returning to Firefly/Dragonfly as my boomboom perk of choice because it does more bigger number.
