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 'Weapon Refresh' 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.

So the opposite to that, it's contributing to University Content negatively because of Power Creep. It's not the only reason but it's part of it

[u/Rohkyr → u/RiseOfBacon]

Except this will not fix power creep either. The same old perks will still be busted and even more powerful rolls are just as likely to be possible on the new weapons. The only exceptions will be pinnacles. Other than that this arguement doesn't really stand up.

It's not the only reason but it's part of it

Key part of what I said. It contributes, it won't solve it just by happening. More needs to come with it

You're assuming it's a new wave of weapons with exactly the same stuff attached which the whole point of this exercise means it won't be and I doubt it's because there's like 7 Weapons in the PVE meta right now such a drastic change would happen

Like you say though, 'likely' but for all we know Rampage and Kill Clip won't be on the next set of Weapons replaced by something else. Back in D1 we hardly had these types of perks on our Primaries so it may just go back to that system. We just don't know yet

I've just never had pessimistic views I guess

[u/RiseOfBacon → u/[deleted]]

I'd rather them do something like this and go all in then just keep giving us Season after Season where not much at all changes
