New Player with some thoughts!

Let me start by saying I think Destiny 2 is such a great game! I started playing in Oct 2019 so I’m very new to the scene. I come from Halo and World of Warcraft and this game to me is like the worlds are blended! I love the game types and I love the insane variety of it all. Sure there are meta weapons and whatnot but I do fine using whatever I like 🙂 My reason for this post is to bring some fresh eye observations. Not so much complaints, just observations/suggestions. Master working gear is very expensive as we all know. Being that is the case, once I master worked my set, I felt as if all other gear sets are doomed to rot in my vault. I love the appearances but I can’t justify using gear that is so much weaker than my master worked gear. I was wishing Destiny had a transmog system like WoW. Now that is coming, I’m stoked! Thank you for this upcoming feature! On the topic of appearances, I love the weapon and armor ornaments this game has. Very creative and cool ways to individualize your guardian. I do not like how they’re acquired however. Some are bright dust, some silver, some are supposedly dropping from engrams (I’m level 246 and have yet to get flex enhance replicate 😭). I am suggesting an alternative system. Exotics weapon catalysts are tied to certain achievements and then require work to fully unlock. So here’s my idea. Have exotic gear ornaments on eververse for silver but have a bright dust to silver conversion option. But ALSO, for the same Armor ornaments, tie them into the game as if they were a catalyst. For example: In order to unlock flex enhance replicate, you must get 300 melee kills against opponents while wearing Synthoceps. That sort of thing. You want money, I get that. You want us to grind, I get that. You want to limit availability to increase rarity, I get that. But I feel it is unfair to limit an item to pure RNG AND limit the time you have to try and acquire it. I’m sitting at the end of this season, lots of effort and time put in, and I may not get what I was after in the end. Again, I am not trying to complain. I am just trying to offer a solution I feel is fair if you are hearing feedback. A solution all players could utilize. Real money, in game currency, or game time and effort! I feel that encompasses everyone after in game appearances. I’m certain I’m not the first with these ideas, but here we are lol Thank you for your hard work and thank you for your time.

  • You might like it but you should play D1 and just see how much has changed. A lot of us older players just aren't happy with their sense of direction. Shadowkeep was their chance to see what they can do as a self publisher. I can say for myself that I'm not impressed and quite irritated by their lack of communication that they promised. They have made too many unexplained and or unjustified nerfs and obviously force meta shifts by purposely making some weapon types fall short. The seasonal artifact with its champion mods proves this on its own. They talk about how strong we can become and how we can build the way we want but restrict players to a certain meta for 3 months. Anything that emerges to be very effective gets nerfed without warning. Bungie also makes hidden nerfs / changes and get called out on and hardly ever comment on. The subclasses are also getting changed slowly over time as well. Dawnblade was gutted hard. Bottom tree was butchered to make the top tree effective and they haven't commented on if it's getting looked. Nightstalker tether has gotten leeched as well. Quiver has improved in strength but the other has been reduced solely because of popularity. Titans haven't been altered too much and it makes me worry that Bungie has something up their sleeves. Super regen exotics have been gutted for the most part. Diminishing returns and max super return cap? Might as well remove them because I hardly see people run them now. Skull of Dire Ahamkara has hit pretty hard because of Gambit Prime and its Reaper set. Orpheus Rig was nerfed several times because it's been the number 1 Nightstalker exotic since launch. The last one really hammered the final nail in the coffin. Phoenix Protocol was given reduced effectiveness and a super cap as well but still well off from the rest. Pretty much every reload bypass trick has been nerfed or removed by now and its a real gut puncher that they are now nerfing reload perks on guns because of, you guessed it, popularity. They didn't even bother to review the reload mods on armor before deciding to nerf them. Looking at the mod capacity power between all of the Primaries alone shows that they are priced based on popularity too. The Enhanced mods are just too expensive and the Normal versions don't seem powerful enough to even use. I could keep going but I'm just getting more and more irritated as I keep digging.
