I'm on bungie's side. Learn to be smarter with your weapon parts usage and you won't run into this issue
English
-
So that weapon we just got and want to try out.... we should just put aside just in case we get something better later? Yea that sounds really fun.
-
So being smarter means not unlocking all the weapon nodes on a variety of guns? Ironically, fully upgrading my weapons DOES allow me to play smarter because of the useful perks! I totally and completely respect your opinion though, but you're f[b]u[/b]cking retarded.
-
Honestly asking here, what do you consider to be "smarter" usage of weapon parts? Also what would you consider to be poor usage? I am honestly asking because of the vast difference of weapon part need across the playerbase. How do you use yours? How do you upgrade, infuse, and/or replace your weapons?
-
Generally just don't go around upgrading things u probably won't use same with infusion.
-
Meaning "don't upgrade weapons you may end up feeding to infusion" or "Infuse less, get higher drops"?
-

For example I got a 305 ghost shell in the raid but did not upgrade cuz I might get a 310 one later. Also I got a 302 handcannon which I kept but did not upgrade cuz it could be infused into something like a hung jury
-
Ok, I get your point. But here are my observations regarding it: 1. I have only fed a weapon that was perk upgraded, and in one case infused, to infusion 2 or 3 times. And I did so for better perks and/or stats of a new weapon. I know from the armory which weapons I like the stats of, and I know what perks I like, so it is rare that I end up replacing a weapon I have chosen to keep. 2. Also, It costs something like 30? weapon parts to fully perk upgrade a weapon right? And then 10? per infusion. All I know is that I have spent easily 80%+ of my weapon parts on infusion, not on perk upgrades.
-
Fair enough I guess everyone uses different amounts and from the amountb of people running out of parts I think the nerf was a bad idea
-
Infusions and upgrades are costly. It has nothing to do with using them intelligently.
-
5/node and 10/infusion is not that much, especially in comparison to some Y1 weapons with 5 damage upgrades, along with perks and talents. You can also maximize the per weapon drop rate for parts by putting XP into guns (and not purchasing the nodes) you plan to dismantle. Even putting in half the total required XP will give you a chance at a couple more parts.

While I agree, I am starting to think that something else is going on. I am noticing that the folks that think we are nuts for asking for more do seem genuinely confused as to why we need them. Or think we are doing something wrong. What if there is an imbalance in light level drops. Follow me here, but I assume you and I are experiencing a similar situation: at some point we receive a legendary weapon we like, but at 290 or lower light level. We perk upgrade it just fine, then begin the slow process of creeping it up in light level. I tend to infuse for no less than a 4 or 5 light level difference, unless it is my highest for that slot. As we approach and start to surpass 290 overall light, we start to see less and less infusible drops for our highest level gear for each slot. Then we work on the backup weapons like the sniper for every damage type, ect. When a high level drops it gets fed to the current highest to boost overall light, but all the rest is so that when switching gear you don't drop 20 overall light. The point I am making here, is that the "keepers" are all sublight levels and the ones we infuse are rares that we wouldn't have kept anyways. But what if others are seeing the reverse, their "keepers" are dropping at high light levels, thereby negating a huge portion of the infusion costs. A friend of mine actually played that way in that he didn't infuse until he was 295. He used blues up until he got a purple that dropped over his blue gears light level. I got a few early purple drops, in the 250-270 range that I loved the perks and stats of so I spent the parts infusing those up. Now he can't understand how I burned through all my parts while he still has plenty to donate to factions.
