PETITION: VoG weapons at 331. Raids shouldn't be rendered irrelevant.

[You guys came up with so many great ideas. I really wish Bungie had a look at the comments here.]
[b]Come on, Bungie, give us the freedom to choose whatever suits our style best and don't let those awesome weapons you've designed become obsolete. Actually, don't let the stunning Vault of Glass (best content in the game) be consumed by the darkness.
I believe that Raids and its weapons should always be the at level cap. More weapons to choose from, more content to play.
Weapons are mostly situational and mixing them is part of a successful strategy (it's fun too). Having more to choose from just add to the game.
Edit: I'm not suggesting to automatically turn them into 331 attack weapons. Just give us a way to upgrade them to the current attack cap. I bet you guys can implement it in a sensible way.
Why would we go against the idea of having more relevant weapons at our disposal? It's like saying "I'd rather have less weapons, less content". Let's not be passively attached to an old format. Destiny is something new with immense potential.[/b]
=====================
Some great comments Bungie should pay some attention to:

"But what they decide to do with VOG weapons speaks to the future of the current raid weapons as well. Right now, there is an expiration date on my Fatebringer and that sucks, supremely, but now that same feeling isn't too far for my Black Hammer either. I'd like to carry these weapons with me as long as I am playing Destiny. Yeah, future weapons maybe better and I end up scraping these guns one day but I'd like to be able to decide for myself versus having no choice in the matter. Just my take on the situation".

"The problem lies within the way they have designed the upgrading system. They are going to have to re work how you upgrade weapons and armor. Yeah they could just update the VOC gear up to 32 and 331 but what happens when the House of Wolves comes out? Then they are going to have to update both Dark Below and VOC all over again the prevent them from being obsolete. They need to just make it were the players can choose the path they want to take. You choose what armor and weapons you want to upgrade to the highest rank. I mean make it a difficult task. I wouldn't mind the challenge and it would inspire players to be more creative with their characters rather than every single person wearing the same gear".

"Upgrading older legendary weapons could finally give a use for the Gunsmith beyond buying ammo and weapons at a low level. Not to mention it would help provide a larger variety of "good" weapons so that we would have more things to work towards. After all the various DLC's are done, just imagine how varied the weapon and armor selection would be. (Speaking of which, vendors should be able to upgrade armor as well.)"

I think it's a good case but not all the way to crota gear vanguard gear should be 30 vog raid gear should be 31. Same with weapons 332 for raid 323 for vog raid weapons And vanguard a happy medium. a vanity slot would also solve the armor issues.

Edited by OohKillEm85: 1/7/2015 10:14:17 PMWorld of Warcraft has one of the best systems. Raids are not useless, but are not equal to current endgame. Instead they act as stepping stones towards being equipped for the next tier of content. Vanguard upgraded gear made it useless. I dont raid much so i took advantage, but im just putting 2 cents in.

2 RepliesMy solution would be to have Xur or the gunsmith sell some sort of item based on its item type (example:hand canon barrel, auto rifle heat sink, helmet reinforcements) they could alternate the availability of these items with a vendor. But the main idea is that it will bring one legendary item up to the level cap. They could make you level it up again or not, either way I would be satisfied. Perhaps they could even make pricier upgrade items that would upgrade an item without you having to level up your item again

Yessss pleeeeaaaasseeee.

I wish our threads were a little more in line and merged into one massive trending topic. I think the issue is larger than just upgrading the weapons!

Bump.. All great ideas.. Hate that my VoG weapons are stuck on ghetto till the end of time (not that they're ghetto now, but implying they are the lowest level).

It's not redundant, I wear my full VoG raid gear to be pimping anniversary style.

We neeeed this update

1 ReplyThey will have the upgrades for them next reset :)))

1 ReplyWhether it's 300 or 331, my fatebringer will still make shit explode so I don't really care.
-
331 weapons please
-
Let us complete challenges within a given raid involving the weapon of our choice in order to upgrade it. For example, kill 500 goblins with the fatebringer inside the vault of glass to upgrade it to the next level. I know that is a very mundane task, but the point is, instead of just giving us a freebie, make us go back and earn the upgrades through a variety of challenges.

1 ReplyFatebringer needs same love. Would trade in exotic to upgrade it or 25000 glimmer

Bump, I habe not lost hope yet. Bungie says they listen. The next weeks will show wether they hold true to that
