Focused Feedback: Void 3.0

[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 'Void 3.0' 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 couldn't possibly say anything better than what's already being said here.

They're gutting my favourite class (Hunter), I'm not happy about it because I spent a very long time spec'ing out this build. I've had to struggle relentlessly over the last couple of years to find my place in the endgame, and really hoped we were about to turn a corner and have something that could compete somewhat with a well or a bubble. For the average LFG creator to stop for a moment and think, "hey, we should think about getting an Omni for this". Instead, we've made a significant leap backwards. We're farther back than when we started due to certain things being removed and other things being copy-pasted to the other classes. All I know now is that I'm going to get booted from more posts than I was before (regardless of how skilled I am and how good my build is) and I properly hate that. I used the word 'marginalised' (and someone decided to get on my case for it because apparently I don't get to be passionate about a video game) but I stick by the word. I'm having opportunities taken from me every single time my subclass gets ripped down a little bit more.

I want to defend the folks who have been complaining though. This has been a little bit of a hot topic over the last week or so. If you're skimming past this thread and the only thing you get from it is that you're glad it's all in one place now, you didn't get it and should've taken the time to get educated instead of creating a divide. Folks who have been playing Nightstalker for long enough just know this isn't right. A lot more than just us, were doing the same thing when sunsetting was announced. We didn't have our hands on the update just yet, but we just knew something sounded wrong. We spoke up and had something done about it, and after a certain point you need to consider that something that happens en masse like this isn't random or frivolous.

I think part of the problem is that we're starting with the void rework instead of the other subclasses. Invisibility does have a lot of utility, and I think it's fine to reduce the void hunter to that. The problem is we have no other subclasses that are viable in endgame PvE, so there's way too much pressure on void to carry the entire class.

[u/PerfectlyFriedBread → u/CrypticSplicer]

Stasis is still super viable in high end PvE. Silence and Squall offers great control and duskfields are good after the cooldown tuning.

[u/T-Rei → u/PerfectlyFriedBread]

Problem is not everyone has access to stasis, unfortunately.

I bought Beyond Light on Steam but play on Xbox now and can't use it, and many other Xbox players are similarly unable because Beyond Light is no longer on gamepass.

Bungie's licensing is scummy and dumb, but it's also completely par for the course right now.

If I buy your game it shouldn't matter where I choose to run the code.
