Oh, don't worry... (Destiny)

The way they handled swords for this season is a perfect example of how it can work well- they just need to give multiple avenues for a couple weapon types to shine. When that meta goes away, people don't get all cranky because they knew it was temporary going in.

I'm gonna be cranky when Passive Guard goes away. Trust me. I don't CARE that I knew it was happening. Chopping a Primeval down in 10 seconds makes the Drifter's "I forgot that you'd killed a god" line feel RIGHT. I'm gonna be sad when I can't do it any more.

(Yeah, yeah, I know, it's the right thing. And yeah, I'm okay, long-term, with the idea of known temporary buffs like this, and I can tell the difference between this and what's happening with the vast majority of Destiny 2's weapons come September. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna be cranky in a couple of weeks.)
