They've already sunset a couple of times. Taken king and D2. The game is still here.

Sunsetting has never been about "shaking up the meta" or preventing power creep. Its primary function is to artificially increase playtime by forcing players to regrind for weapons they already own. This should be obvious based on the number of reissues and reskins where the only meaningful difference between the "new" item and the old one is the power cap. The system as implemented is completely indefensible because its entire existence is predicated on lies.

There only doing because 1. Armor sunset= more people are gonna buy transmog when it comes out (it will probably overpriced for one piece of gear) 2. They don’t have the support they used to have. Activision no longer backs them so it’s difficult for them to produce forsaken sized content (or there just bums which I see)

[quote]I'm still relatively new to the game series, started playing consistently since the game came onto Steam. The recent addition of sunsetting is brining a lot of negative aspects to the game and I honestly feel like you could have done a lot better. Firstly; I understand the need to shake up the meta and put the brakes on some builds and pinnacle weapons. The sunsetting of Dreaming City and Moon gear is outright bad, especially when people still need to pay for that content. In the recent TWAB, you mention bringing back a handpicked selection of 4 guns from both locations, and some going to the dungeons. This is not good. Especially for moon gear that only had ONE YEAR of life before getting sunsetted. Instead of just brining back four (4) guns and the armor, just raise the light level of the gear. Or exclude them from sunsetting like you did with Drang and the MIDA Mini-Tool . If a player has to pay for Forsaken and Shadowkeep, only to realize that they're at a disadvantage because the gear is only maxed out to 1060, then that's going to be a massive negative for that player. I understand putting gear down to shake the meta up. Please consider -Sunsetting pinnacle weapons temporarily (either a year or two year sunset) -Leaving Destination gear (Armor, guns) excluded from sunsetting, especially for paid DLC -Consider not sunsetting gear that is no longer obtained (E.g: Black Armory guns, Leviathan gear, etc) Sunsetting can be done well, it can be really beneficial for some people. But currently sunsetting is not bringing anything good to the table, especially when most of guns are not even pinnacles. Please please take the time to listen to the community. Email everyone a survey, talk to streamers. This is not a good execution and right now it's doing and bringing more negativity than anything positive. At first it wasn't that bad to me, but when it hits on how much gear can't really be used, it's not fun. Please consider the time and investment players have made into their guardians, the gear, etc. And please listen to the community. We are willing to ride out whatever you toss at us, but this is not going to be good for the longevity of Destiny 2.[/quote] I spend a fair amount on weapon cosmetic then comes sunsetting lol Bye bye weapons Bye bye putting more money onto the game

This doesn't surprise me at all. Bungie pulled the same crap between House of Wolves and The Taken King in the first destiny. Only there was enough replacement gear to pad the blow. The old exotics the were ''sunset" like Vex mythoclast Dreegs Promise and queens breakers bow were eventually brought back. Except pocket infinity. I miss that gun......

This week twab why are you bringing back all this old content but not weapons. If you think I’m grinding for same weapons after you took them of me screw your game

Yeah they don't care though. They refuse to rework core activities, and continue to add irrelevant shit to chase in hopes that people will forget about how -blam!-ing boring their game is now.

Meh, I’ve moved on , it’s done ...it’s not changing ....life goes on .

Bungo: we hear you, stay tuned, working as intended. Also Bungo: We are reissuing the Moon and Dreaming City Gear along with 4 weapons from such destinations. P. S: you old gear does not get a cap increase sorry, not sorry Blah!

In 2014, Blizzard, the makers of the famous World of Warcraft and Diablo franchises came to Bunyon to give some advice. They went because Blizzard was under the umbrella of Activision. The same publisher back then. Blizzard basically came in and said, "Look, here’s our story of developing Diablo III" and then they were saying, like, "Hey, random numbers are not fun—dice rolls are not fun. You can give the illusion of randomness, but you want to weight it towards the player… The only point you have to deliver on is that when people leave your game—because they will—when they leave your game, they need to be happy." Did you catch that last phrase folks? After 6 years, SIX EFFING YEARS! Bunyon didn't learn. It doesn't matter what you are designing the game for. Whether it be for RNG, guns, loot, gun perks, armor perks, armor stats, sunsetting, no sunsetting, etc. The end result should be what Blizzard had proposed. That last phrase. In the end, "they need to be happy!" After half a BILLION dollars, Bunyon didn't learn. Turned half a BILLION into 💩! Up to now, still 💩! 😂

Bungie is pathetic

They should call it "-blam!- you" instead of "sunsetting".
