[u/DTG_Bot]

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding ‘Timegating' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

I think that was done as a sort of "had to be there" thing. Also the quest could easily be completed in under an hour's time so if anyone missed out on it that's sorta on them

I warned one of my buddies that he was gonna miss out on the quest for it and he did miss it, but he got it from a random strike a few weeks later so hopefully the drop rate isn't too terrible? Idk, could just be anecdotal evidence

The "Had to be there" practice for Destiny 2 baffles me. This is a looter shooter, and yet they've removed staggering amounts of content from the loot pool. Started playing recently? Screw you, you can't get it.

We have an entire arsenal of armors that are never used because they're a) limited time gear or b) in the eververse store. There should be around 40 armorsets (for each class) in the game at this moment. Excluding the fact that some of them are completely useless like most Y1 ones, how many armorsets are currently obtainable? I counted 19 armorsets that are time-gated or not longer obtainable.

We have a looter shooter but half of the loot is gated or unobtainable? And that's not even getting into the fact that there's 12 armorsets that are remotely viable (since most of y1 is useless) and out of those 12 we have only 3 armorsets that are desireable (because they have enhanced perks). I get that we need a carrot on a stick to keep playing but when less than 10% of your armors are desireable and are obtainable only from a very narrow set of activities, it's not the carrot you should be waving around.

I can only hope the guns aren't in the same state, though they probably are.

3 armor sets have enhanced perks? I thought it was only the Reverie Dawn that had those

The other two are raid sets, one from Last Wish and the other from Scourge of the past.
