Unbridled Power Creep (Destiny)

You're not wrong. The era of Elemental Wells was ridiculous for ability uptime, and I'm not sure the game ever really recovered from that.

It has to be difficult to deal with for them. I don't know what the answer is to fix it, because as frustrating as it is for primary guns to feel sort of useless, I'd also be annoyed if they brought the ability side of the game down too much, because, let's face it, it's really freaking fun. I'm still just rocking a basic ass Solar Titan throwing hammer sunspot build with Wormgod Caress, and it's just so fun. Throw in the shotgun from Season of the Haunted with Incandescent, and I just make sunspots for days and it's a blast.

Korny and I ran the Dual Destiny mission so I could get the exotic class item, and it really just reminded me how freaking good Destiny is when it's on it's A game. It's such a good mission with good ad density for fun fights and fun puzzle mechanics to figure out and manage without being overbearing or annoying. Granted that's just an on level mission, so guns feel totally fine there, but it was like perfect Destiny.

We've been there for a while, but I think we're really at the point where Destiny 3 needs to happen to move forward. I know most won't like it, but we need a real reset without the expectation of carrying all the old baggage forward.
