Luke On Sunsetting (Destiny)

Which is EXACTLY WHY I made that distinction of "IN THE GAME". Organization works best as you get it. I should not have to use third party stuff to play the game. That is a failure of core maniacs for, as I say it again, the game with a core mechanic of "loot". I know in the moment why I put something away, and shouldn't have to jump around different screens to do what I need to do. It should not feel like work. The best way to do that is in game.

I am honestly curious about what this means to you. What is it that you want to do IN GAME that you can't? (I'm not looking for "organize my stuff" - I'm looking for what you think would help the average Destiny player not simply vault gear they don't have time to test, if your thoughts could be turned into actual programming.) How are you envisioning using an Xbox controller to organize (i.e. compare and winnow) your gear?

Again: I'm not looking for vague "I want to do this" - you clearly think that this is a thing you should be able to do, in-game. I'm not asking you to program it - I'm asking you what it would look like. I, personally, cannot envision ANY system that I could manage with a controller that would make me happy. You clearly have other ideas, and I would love to hear them.

If you disagree with that, than please bring better ideas. This may help, here is a question I've not seen asked (and even alluded to in my post); do exotic weapons suffer from the same issue? Why or why not?

I told you my 'better idea' - it's to use a mouse and keyboard, and an interface built for them, to do the organizing. It works really well for me. It isn't in-game, and in fact (the way I want it to work) cannot be - and I'm okay with that.

I have absolutely no idea what you're asking with regard to exotics. Can you rephrase your question?

(Also, your flippant "solution" to the Mountaintop-type problem makes me roll my eyes harder than anything Luke Smith has EVER said. But maybe that's just me.)

Sorry you found what would work to be flippant and worthy of rolling your eyes. What do you see that challenges the effectiveness? Is it not why at minimum Bungie goes and disables things when there is an issue? It WORKS! There would be less issue then sunsettings continual muck. Yes, some folks would be peeved on all the effort made towards the weapon would suddenly be for not, as we've seen with sunsetting ad nauseam, hence the "bright dust" or something to that effect.

You think taking something that many, many people love and simply deleting it 'works'?

That doesn't work. That's the lazy, zero-effort way out of this problem, and it introduces a whole host of new problems that are arguably worse than leaving it completely alone. "Some folks would be peeved" - heh.
