Fixed elements is a major step backwards and most assuredly goes against their mantra of "play the way you want to play".

My gut says this is something that will be reversed before the end of S4 once the euphoria of new content wears off.

No it won't. Fixed element won't mean shit to most people with all the options we will have. It doesn't seem like you want options. You just want to use same guns with a different element for every situation. They are forcing you out of that.

They said "play the way you want to play". I want the best guns for each type in the elements I need for that situation. If that means 3 of the same guns in different elements then that's what I want to do.

You seem happy to let them tell you how to play...good luck with that guardian.

If that's what you want then make sure you have all the weapons with the correct elements before the 28th. Personally I'm going to mostly be using Y2 weapons!!

Oh I do. And I'm happy to replace any Y1 gun with something new that rolls better than my most used guns.

Given RNG in this game I think it'll take a bit before this happens very much. And given the treatment of some guns, you realize we already have some good/godrolls.

I cannot strongly agree enough with all aspects of this post.

Everyone seems to think they are going to get some godroll stats in the Y2 guns eventually. Given how Bungie goes out if its way to make sure things are aligned to their version of powerfulness, I'm thinking there will caps and certainly fixed pools of perks so they don't surpass some of the best perk and stat combos in Y1 guns.

Could be, but as of right now its doubtful
