???? You can keep your old gun and it'll do just fine or you can get a new one that's craftable, but will require more time and effort. I don't see the problem.

The problem is Bungie disrespectfully wasting the time it took players to acquire Dead Messenger originally through the mission or purchasing it using end game resources, earning it's catalyst, and then spending time completing said catalyst by replacing it with a crafting method that worked better for time gated exotics that had a variety of traits and not just one additional trait. The problem is that if this system stays in place, if/when Outbreak Perfected and Whisper of the Worm return, new players won't be able to earn the catalysts through their unique acquisition methods that were available originally and miss out on a unique puzzle solving experience. The problem is that when future non-random rolled exotics get placed into the playlist, like Wicked Implement, there's a chance that the precedent being set means in a years time we'll be having to reacquire and regrind an already earned exotic for 1 additional trait. I think dev time and our money spent on the game should've gone towards something else, like maybe a new weapon that could've provided a more unique experience instead of just reissuing an entire already earned weapon into the crafting system with a tedious full acquisition process over 1 extra trait. If you're just going to say "just don't get it again" like other people in the thread, you can save it for someone else because that's just a lame reply and I've already given very detailed responses to others on why I think reissuing Exotics is problematic and a waste of time.

All your points are from what YOU think. Many people like myself are quite excited for this. The new players you're oh so worried about don't even care. They'll be happy to just even be able to aquire the gun or experience the mission. Crafting will make the exotics better and give em that personalized roll. Player's will have to wait? So what!? It's better than not getting it all all. This way they only need to do it once to get the gun and craft it to their liking. The Catalyst will be out of somes reach no matter what anyway.

[quote]All your points are from what YOU think. Many people like myself are quite excited for this.[/quote] This is [b]my [/b]feedback, so of course it would be what [b]I [/b]think. Just like everything [b]you've [/b]just said is what [b]you[/b] think. [quote]Crafting will make the exotics better and give em that personalized roll.[/quote] This makes sense for Hawkmoon and Dead Man's Tale as it'll fully realize the original vision Bungie had with these guns as they're meant to be customizable. Dead Messenger was not random and 1 new trait shouldn't mean an entirely new acquisition process and regrind for 1 trait. [quote]The new players you're oh so worried about don't even care.

It's better than not getting it all all.[/quote] I don't post often or almost at all on the forums, but judging from most of the responses to my feedback, I don't understand how people can be so ardent defenders of Bungie's decisions when the game is in the state that it's in. Maybe players will be really happy about the addition of the exotic playlist, but why can't we ask for better from Bungie and kick the notion of time gating activites to the curb? Maybe it's because... [quote]This way they only need to do it [i][b][u]once [/u][/b][/i]to get the gun and craft it to their liking.[/quote] This isn't even remotely what was communicated to us! Instead, players will have to complete the mission multiple times to even get access to the full gun, similar to how Revision Zero and Vexcalibur's full versions were time gated from us. This is from the 08/10/2023 TWID: [quote][u]First completion[/u] of the mission on Normal or Legendary difficulty [u]will award the Exotic Deepsight weapon associated with the mission.[/u] Extracting or dismantling this Deepsight weapon will grant the pattern. [u]Each completion[/u] of the Normal or Legendary version of the Exotic mission [u]will award an intrinsic upgrade that can be used when crafting the Exotic weapon.[/u] [u]Each completion of the Legendary version[/u] of the Exotic mission [u]will award a Catalyst upgrade[/u] for the crafted Exotic weapon.[/quote] This will be on a 3 week lockout for players old and new! Forget my criticism on how I think it's dumb that they're making Dead Messenger craftable. How can you not agree that time gating sucks and we should be asking for better.
