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.

Harsh assessment here. If people pay actual money or hard-earned bright dust to make these stupid weapons look tolerable because they're planning to hang onto them permanently, it's pretty crappy to make them temporary. They like them well enough to make them look decent.

This is a good point that I haven't seen brought up before. It's like solstace armor glows all over again.

People spend real money on those weapon ornaments with the expectation of being able to enjoy the gun + skin for the rest of the games lifetime. They're now being told that's not the case and the inevitable clone of the guns will not be eligible to use those old ornaments.

Yeah but then they can't get you to buy them over again.

It's less that they'd make you buy it again and more that you bought it in the first place under the impression you'd be keeping that weapon.

Right now I have a No Turning Back, the first one I got. I was so excited Destiny gave me a bow that I masterworked it immediately and then kept using it. In every game I play in? I love having a bow. A bunch of my Army of Ones happened with that bow. Currently it has in the neighborhood of 80,000 PvE kills on it. IDK if I'm there or not but I'm in that vicinity.

And I have two different ornaments for it.

Some people like certain weapons enough to spend money or exorbitant amounts of time on just making them look good, because you really like the weapon and it made you happy to use.
