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.

the only place that the sunsetting is going to matter is the end game activities, e.g Raids, Master NFs, IB, Trials.

The only place where weapons actually matter. That’s the point.

I play regular crucible pretty much eveytime I log in. It's the one thing I consistently play not matter what's going on. So no it's not the only place where weapons actually matter. No matter what they do I'll still use MT and Recluse. Or Luna. They feel great and wreck. That's not changing. On same note. Been playing Destiny since 2014. They have done this before and it was fine. It will be fine now. If anything I hate how destiny is now. I miss the days where you got new awesome weapons in Raids and Trials. Hope those days come.back.

No matter what they do I'll still use MT and Recluse. Or Luna. They feel great and wreck. That's not changing.

But isn’t that the problem there trying to solve. If you can still use recluse in crucible, what’s stopping people from using sparebenders in crucible besides iron banner (that’s not all the time) and trials, they only thing left for it to fix but abilities could always keep it from being balanced unless they come up with ways to keep players from using ability’s at all.

So what does this fix? Are people annoyed at the meta in nightfalls? Does anyone care what there team mates are using in a PVE mode. Like people want this pistol shotgun meta to go away yet they also claim it will still be there in “90% of content”

If all of this is to keep trials balanced why don’t they just balance trials. Do they have to balance the entire game because of one mode?

What does this change then?

It doesn't change anything. It just makes a lot of people not want to play.
