In regards to the TWAB today, Hippy (the new CM who wrote it), Dmg, and Kevin Yanes (sandbox lead) have all alluded on twitter that there is a whole entire weapon system that will make the orb change less impactful.

However this is just a blatant failure to communicate. You’re intentionally giving us negative news with the caveat that “don’t worry guys it’s gonna get better”.
This doesn’t build hype. It just fosters an attitude of “this better be worth it”.
You can’t say communication is important when you’re intentionally hold out info like this.
The majority of players do not like the information presented. You all know this community well enough. You should have expected this.
Why not just give us all the information up front? It’s not like there isn’t plenty of other reveals to give us to build hype in later TWABs.
This is just an intentional failure to communicate.
Edit: The amount of people missing the point is hilarious. Bungie is taking away our current ability to make orbs, making it into a mod that competes in a already crowded helmet section, and is just saying “no guys trust us, it’s gonna real cool when you see the other half”. It would be much easier to sell this if they gave us the good with the bad.
Also if you’re saying “it’s just another mod”, then clearly the hardest content you play is a Legend Nightfall.
