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

1500+ up votes 3000+ replies [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: AJIc3CoLd said: "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". JoshLags said: "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". DE4THINC4RN4TE said: "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 used to agree with those who would say "It's an MMO. When an XPAC releases in WoW they don't update raid weapons to bring them to the same level as new raid weapons.". However after playing Destiny for some time now I am starting realize this game is not a traditional MMO like WoW and I agree with Bungie's description of it being a "Shared World Shooter". That places this game in slightly different category than WoW. Also the fact that DLC is released in a 3 to 4 month cycle and gear drops are painfully at the will of RNGesus, no one will want to grind out a Raid for a particular weapon to only have it become marginally useful a month later. I think the best thing to do would be to update weapon stats on raid drop weapons only for each DLC on each Destiny release. If it's a legendary raid weapon, it should be update to be close to one tier below the current Attack value for newer DLC legendaries. All Exotics should be updated to match the current Attack value cap for newer DLC. Example: Destiny 1 - The Dark Below > VoG weapons updated to max attack 323 > ALL Exotic weapons max attack 331 - House of Wolves > VoG weapons updated to max attack 331 > CE weapons updated to max attack 343 > ALL Exotic weapons max attack 351 - Comet > VoG weapons updated to max attack 331 > CE weapons updated to max attack 351 > HoW weapons updated to max attack 351 > ALL Exotic weapons max attack 371
