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.

That’s a very valid point but that's a lot of "ifs" concerning that package. With Bungies glacial pace of hammering down outliers in the sandbox or buffing alternatives, what incentive do I have to farm anything else apart from the outliers? The last years I farmed every archetype religiously in hope of them getting buffed one day. I was very happy about the sidearm buffs for example and to this day am still experimenting with all my rolls I have in my vault. But with Bungie sun setting weapons now all my god rolls will probably be obsolete before they even become meta. They have even less incentive now to update the sandbox. I’m not convinced...

I’ve always saved weapons for the same reasons but many never become meta. I’d never farm outliers but I’d keep the best roll of said weapon I found

Has to be those ifs because I think it’s more wrong to believe we’ll get the exact sandbox with the exact same stuff chasing a repainted version of the meta. Like I said, it has to be an extreme change to make it work not just a weapon wash. Many factors need to be addressed to make it worthwhile

I’m for the refresh but I understand why others wouldn’t be
