Edge of Fate: Will all armor and weapons basically be seasonal?
Ok. I've got a different thread going trying to figure out if my current vault is going to be trash. From that and other threads I think I've got this figured out.
Bungie is changing Destiny to a model where all armor and all weapons are basically seasonal. When EoF releases, you can choose to run old loot and not gain DR or damage bonuses, or you can get new loot and gain DR and damage bonuses.
The when Renegades releases, all the stuff you just acquired may still be tier 5, but you'll lose the DR and damage bonuses. So you need to re-grind to replace all of that T5 stuff you just spent 6 months earning.
If that's going to be the game model, why don't they just come out and say it? This model probably doesn't impact the hardcore players and streamers much. But what about the other 90% of the community? My gut says why play a looter-shooter where your loot is temporary?

I posted the link to give you a laugh as one of the rabid Bungie glazers goes off on a mega rant. 😝. I found it entertaining anyway. More so than the game at the moment. Here’s my direct quote from that post. [quote]Those of us who are capable of pattern recognition in Bungie’s deliverance of content for D2 over the years, see the writing on the wall. This game is FUBAR’d under Bungie’s control, as is Bungie itself. They’ve doubled down on the eternal hamster wheel grind and slowly but surely making our old gear irrelevant. I predict they will do exactly the same thing to all the “new” gear from EoF when Renegades drops. All the new gear in Renegades will get the “new” Renegades artifact buff and everything you’ve grinded for in EoF will follow the same way as our current gear now. Coupled with the stupid new currency that depreciates along with the resetting of power back to 200 every 6 months and the “new gear eternal grind” using artifact power means your new hamster wheel is ready. [/quote] I think that is exactly what they are doing. I strongly urge anyone who feels the same way about these changes to wait and see on purchasing this DLC. Wait for those you trust to review it. Or if this is what you’re looking for then go ahead enjoy your gilded eternal hamster wheel. Kudos.
