Why in gods name wont they make y1 armor drop with the new mods? I dont mind grinding for all the armor i need to wear again but i like the way some of the y1 stuff looks. Removing it from the game is asinine.

It would be extremely stupid for them to have a big event where you earn fancy armor then invalidate it a few weeks later. So yeah, that's probably what they're doing.

Welp, see ya forever Y1 armor.

What constitutes as Y1 armor? That everything that’s been dropping that’s purple and below?

I think bungo are being disingenuous with the way they've released the info on y1 armor. Either that or I'm misinterpreting, I refuse to believe that bungie are willing to write off the models for all the armors they've already produced. That full errant knight set you have masterworked and put your best y1 mods on will not be able to use superior y2 mods that I accept, but that we won't see the models for all y1 armors either introduced a while after forsaken is released as new items that can take y2 mods? No way, this is the company that reuses a single assault rifle model 3 times with a different skin/stats; and reuses storyline missions as heroic strikes.

No way we don't end up seeing errant knight 2.0 or kerak type 3 armors within 6 months of forsaken dropping. If they're not already part of the expansion.

Irritating to lose all those masterworks though.

The only head scratcher with that line of reasoning is why can't solstice armor take y2 mods, with their production being so close to forsakens release.

Knowing Bungie, they'll divy the year 2 versions of the Year 1 armor across the three Black Armory DLCs.

All the new armor will probably just be the old armor with added/removed greebly bits and slightly different ways of taking shader colors anyway.

Ok, as someone that Sun God Avatar has lured back into the game for Forsaken (I just bought Warmind yesterday) should I just delete the weapon/armor mods I have now to make room? Can someone please link to a good primer on how mods are going to work going forward?

From the TWAB on 8/2

quote:

Some items will still be available in Season 4, such as destination weapons and armor sets. Other Year 1 items will be retired from vendors when Destiny 2: Forsaken releases on September 4, 2018:

Vanguard
Year 1 weapons
Year 1 armor
Seasonal rewards
Crucible
Year 1 weapons
Year 1 armor
Seasonal rewards
Gunsmith
Year 1 weapons
Year 1 mods, which will no longer be obtainable
Year 1 emblems
Ikora (Vanguard Research Packages from Meditations)
Year 1 armor
Year 1 emblems
Trials of the Nine
Year 1 weapons
Year 1 armor
Year 1 shaders
Year 1 ships, Sparrows, and Ghost Shells
Iron Banner
Year 1 weapons
Year 1 armor
Year 1 shaders
Year 1 ships, Sparrows, and Ghost Shells
Cayde’s Stashes
Year 1 emblems

While these Year 1 items will be retired from these vendors, their stock will be refreshed with new gear featuring random rolls, ready for all players to earn in Year 2. Some items may return in Year 2, but not exactly as you remember them

so you can turn in tokens and get fresh planetary gear (guns and armor)
you can use all your saved up tokens and get fresh vanguard, crucible, or gunsmith stuff
you can even get fresh copies with new slots of the Y2 IB armor when that rolls around.

I know it’s a lot to take in and there’s some pretty dumb things happening with the armor, but we survived dumb for the past year.

This happened in the previous game just like Taken King and well, we are doing our Taken King2: The Kingening on September 4th and that improved the game by a landslide. So much so, it basically put the game on the map for quality when it happened.

I got faith this will all work out. Praise the sun.

I see it more as having a vague light level advantage when Forsaken launches.

What even is the base light level for Forsaken anyways?

EDIT: Also, you know what never goes out of date? That sweet instant summon Solstice Sparrow. Vroom! Vroom!

like most of the objectives i found the hephaestus adventure on mars to be the easiest

just get to the end when you defend the terminal and you have a literally endless supply of thrall to kill in a relatively small space

equip sunbreakers and the dawnblade tree that lets you get energy back for airborne kills and you're good to go

While true, you have to truly deserve the spawn. As a noted good person, I get this constantly. Bootstraps...

No you’re right though, it’s not guaranteed.

If you can find an empty mars instance, start and EP, herd all the thralls together and blast them with a nade.
