Armor changes are a joke! If they want to do something like they’re doing, it should be in a Destiny 3 with fresh reset. Now all 80+ of my Builds in DIM will be worthless and all the artifact armor I’ve spent years grinding will be worthless. What is the point of grinding just to have that time spent invalidated, that’s why they stopped sunsetting, but this is a way to sunset without calling it that.
They could have just given armor origin traits or made them different elemental affinities and given them perks based on that or something but completely reworking stat distribution and how they work all in the name of making the game more accessible to new players is a slap in the face to anyone who’s invested time in the game.
Going back to three stats, what is this, Destiny 1? Bungie does this where they implement things that we had in D1 and they pretend like it’s something new and revolutionary…how about they actually innovate. Also, calling it super, grenade, melee is asinine, it sounds ridiculous, if new players are literally struggling just to understand what stats effect what abilities just based on their names, then they are really, really going to struggle with the rest of the game and honestly shouldn’t be playing. Are we going to rename Hand-cannons to Big Pistols to help also? Are we going to rename Glimmer to Money? And you know what, if we are then I’d like every seasonal item to be called MacGuffin. Bungie are a bunch of criminals and trolls at this point.
And Streamers are out of touch with these changes. They have the luxury of being able to dedicate as much time as they’d like to overcome changes like this. They can brute force overcome this relatively easily compared to people with actual jobs and lives. Anyone who has spent years grinding all their armor and builds are literally slapped in the face.
you know you can still use the 100 stat armor since they are not changing that right? every good update this playerbase never fail to show how -blam!- they are
