NEW GEAR NEW GEAR NEW GEAR
Why does SO MUCH rely on having NEW GEAR?!
Equip new gear, you get damage buffs.
Equip new gear, you get damage resistance.
Equip new gear, you get better rewards.
You can’t do this activity without wearing new gear.
0/12 of my builds work in the new endgame thanks to this disgraceful excuse for a “System”. Not because they’re ineffective, no. But because they ALL require NEW GEAR to be equipped. And no, exotics are not an exception for some reason (Bungie, who thought it was a good idea to give warlocks TWO OPTIONS for exotic helmets?!)
This needs to be removed/reverted ASAP. All the loot we grinded long and hard for over 7 years has become completely useless. Not by powercreep, not by sunsetting, but by the FORCED ineffectiveness of our gear.
Never did I think I’d say this, but yes. It can get worse than sunsetting, and it’s this, right here.
The absolute state that is the ‘Social Aspect’ of Destiny 2 is another matter others have already complained about extensively, but I’ll bring it up again. Bungie, listen to your players, or your game will die. I have a sinking feeling you’re trying to kill your game to make Marathon more popular. It will not work.

1 ReplyIf you think only 2 helmets on Warlock is bad, the ONLY helmet titans can use is precious scars which I NEVER see anyone use. Not a titan main, I play all 3 somewhat consistently fyi.

Use new gear. Not hard.

This is something that they should have added at the end of the year and not at the start. Who has a fully completed build with both new armor and weapons ? You have far to little time to learn the stats and even if you do, you can't use it because it is now time to farm for the next tier.

The only thing that requires new gear are seasonal conquests which you can launch once, an if you choose avant guarde - or the PvP event… Most activities you can still use old gear just fine….

Avant Garde needs to go away as a mod. At least disable it until they can rework it to include all exotic weapons and armor. I would love to do expert conquest but I can’t because my toon uses a class item, which is NOT on the “new” list. They need to stop gatekeeping everything just to add artificial playtime. Let us play how and what we want. Power means nothing! Let all activities drop new/powerful gear so we can do something besides ops playlists.
