Softening the Sunsetting Blow:

This post will probably get me some heat, but I feel like I wanted to share. Personally I did think the issues that sunsetting set out to address were valid ones, and that sunsetting was a good idea in concept. However, I think it's fairly apparent that the way Bungie implemented it with season 12 was basically an unmitigated failure. The general consensus on the forums seems to be that people want sunsetting removed entirely. I'm more or less of this viewpoint as well currently, but I feel like it's not going to happen. Bungie have probably put too much time and money into developing this to truly consider scrapping it outright. So, if we are stuck with this system, I have some ideas for how to make things a little less brutal than they are currently. [b][u]Bring Back the Old Core Playlist Weapons:[/u][/b] Yes, all of them. I'm talking about stuff like Main Ingredient, Nightshade, Anonymous Autumn, Fate Cries Foul, Bygones, and Dreaded Venture. Currently, we only have three core playlist weapons, and you can't even get them as drops from reward packages. The reissued core playlist weapons we do have are now all world drops, removing the incentive to go play the core activities to get them. Adding these weapons back and changing the existing reissued ones to only drop from their respective activities would give people an incentive to go run the core modes outside of just the pinnacle weekly drops you get. [b][u]Less Brutal RNG (AKA More Deterministic Loot):[/u][/b] This is basically bringing back a couple of things from Destiny 1, but if it ain't broke don't fix it, right? First off, we should be able to pick whether we want armour or weapons when claiming reward packages from vendors (for Banshee, an equivalent would be letting us pick whether we want a Kinetic, Energy, or Power weapon.) Second, (at least) the core vendors should sell all the core playlist weapons and armour, with rolls that rotate every week. Since Vanguard and Crucible tokens are being depreciated, maybe the two weekly bounties for each could be changed so one gives you a "Weapon Commendation" and the other gives you an "Armour Commendation." [b][u]Reissued Gear Should Have Their Old Versions Brought Up To Cap:[/u][/b] This seemed like such an obvious call, I don't even get why I have to explain this one. People are obviously going to be annoyed if after they delete/vault their previous favourite guns, Bungie just decide to reissue them and force people to grind them out again just because one has a higher arbitrary number on it. [b][u]Bring Back All the Moon and Dreaming City Weapons:[/u][/b] I don't get why only a handful of them are being brought back, especially when you still have a chance at getting the old capped weapons that aren't being reissued after the update drops. Just bring em all back. There are some weapons in there that never even got a chance to shine, really (looking at you, Loud Lullaby.) Alright, that's all I got. Remember to be respectful to fellow forum users if you get into discussions. Peace.
