Synthstrand was a problem, but it wasn't THE problem we have with the Transmog system

Bungie I do not understand why you want to impose a limit on us to acquire transmogs for our armor. Or at least I do but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt. So in order, here are the problems with the current state of Transmog, and following that are the simple solutions to make it more accessible. Problems: 1. Still too many currencies/steps to acquire transmogs. 2. Bounties are lengthy/tedious. 3. Forced limitation on how many transmogs we can acquire per season by you. Not a technical limitation, just an annoying stopgap created and imposed upon us by you. Solutions: 1. Remove the Armor Synthesis materials. If you can remove Synthstrand, you can remove this too. Also the Synthweave Strap, Plate and Bolt should be replaced with a universal currency, i.e. just make it so Bounties reward Synthweave Templates. One currency for all classes. No need to separate everything and make us grind 3x as much. 2. Make Bounties more generic and open for players. I understand that you think transmoging our armor should be something that we have PRIDE AND ACCOMPLISHMENT about, but its not. Just let us have ease of access to change our look. 3. Remove the limit of 10 Bounty completions per season. Bungie I know you want our money. Do not lie. That is why you imposed a limit on us. Very few players I know like this limit. And by very few, I mean literally 2. And one of them is probably Luke Smith, as it means more cash in his pocket. But I digress, by imposing said limit on us, you are limiting us on our choices on which armor sets we complete as transmogs. Not fun. I want the freedom of owning every armor set in a cosmetic form. If you remove the limit, its an easy win. And guess what, there will still be people willing to shell out some cash to you in exchange for transmogs. Why? Because some people just do that. You won't be losing much, if at all. Hopefully dmg_04 or even Cozmo sees this. I just want one of my favorite games to improve.

  • They should also add in the armor ornaments as [i]ornaments[/i] for transmog as well. Like the New Monarchy ornaments. I [i][b]loved[/b][/i] the arm ornaments on my hunter.

  • Honestly, I abhor the idea that we pay for the option to use armor appearances we already own. The community sorta brought this monetization upon itself because they don't know how to vote with their wallets, so this is probably just how it's going to be.

  • Meh? A lot of the armor looks terrible. You people end up looking like clowns either way... I've seen peoples "creations". The cap is there to make money and .make sure you come back every season to get those transmog thingies.

    • With 30 days left on the season I finished all transmog bounties while passively playing activities I enjoyed. Next season I can just buy the bounties for 10k glimmer which will make it wayyy easier and faster. I don't see what the problem is. I unlocked every set of armor skin I ever wanted after 1 season. Jesus folks love to complain man.

      • No one "likes" the limit because this community is always looking for something to complain about. I don't think that a typical player is going to swap their armour's appearance so regularly, without using a single piece of already-unlocked armour, that the limit of 10 is an issue. That's two full sets per season, or two and a half if you always have an Exotic on. Given that class items don't have random stat rolls, you can safely use non-sunset ones with their original appearance as long as you have the item, which potentially reduces the number of Transmogs to three per set. There isn't anyone out there who likes every single piece of armour [i]and[/i] insists that they can't complete a particular look with any item other than the one in question.

            • I just ignore the whole system, I won't be bothered with a system that is so obviously designed to push Eververse sales.

            • The whole transmog system is designed to incentivize players to spend money at Eververse on the materials.

              • Always go for destination bounties. They’re the quickest. It’s very common to get a nightmare bounty, for those, just go to altars of sorrow. Done in no time.

                  • There is no goodwill here anymore. Everything that you do now is about paying. And you pay in 2 ways. First, you either spend the Money in the form of monetization. Throw money at screen mentality. Second, you spend Time in the form of grinding. And grinding is a way to pad time so they can show that there are still people playing a sinking game. Padding time is like life support for a sinking ship. None of it is for you. It's all for them. Greed rules here now. And when there is greed, laziness follows. Clear sign of what's going on here by the amount of recycled 7 year old content being thrown around everywhere.😆Ahahahahaha!!! Have fun guardians!

                    • [quote]1. Still too many currencies/steps to acquire transmogs.[/quote] So completing a bounty to get the item required for transmog is too many currencies/steps? The only thing that they could change is getting rid of the Synchcord step, but it literally takes 5 seconds, not something I would make a lengthy forum post to complain about. [quote]2. Bounties are lengthy/tedious.[/quote] No? I pick up the Raid/Dungeon and Strike bounties all the time and get them done without even trying. The whole point is to pick up bounties from activities you are going to play, which means there is no grinding involved. If you are not playing Strikes, Crucible, Gambit, Raids, or Dungeons, what exactly are you playing? [quote]3. Forced limitation on how many transmogs we can acquire per season by you. Not a technical limitation, just an annoying stopgap created and imposed upon us by you.[/quote] An unreasonable expectation is that 100% of your armor should be able to be Transmogged. Most players have 2-3 sets that they like wearing, which is easily obtainable this season alone. If you expect to transmog everything, my question is why? This system essentially gives you one cosmetic set per season on top of the 3-4 sets you can get this season. TL;DR ga ga ga ga ga ga gu

                      • I think the limit was the only issue I have with the transmorph. I have already maxed out on strands this season just by playing crucible. Most armor for warlocks are hideous so I still have a couple left, I wouldve used them by now but we have a cap so I rather wait until something good shows up

                      • Transmog is fine, the bounties are really easy. Like one of the raid/dungeon bounties, make 100 orbs in a raid/ dungeon. That is mind numbingly simple.

                      • honestly, there was only a hand full of items to transmog in the beginning. I would simply pick up the bounty not worry about it, boom it's done, get another one, I've never had to worry about synthstrand, have always had it. for the most part all this stuff (bounties/ quests yada yada) eventually get done, just by playing the game.

                        Hey, it should be a "fun" no-hassle thing to be able to customize your appearance, but... Bungie. They have to try to monetize everything. It's just the reality that we as players are going to be fighting against for the entire rest of the franchise. BUT... honestly, is there REALLY more than [b]31[/b] (Taking into account the 11 "free" intro quest transmogs, +10 for season of the Splicer bounties, +10 for next season) pieces of armor per character you REALLY want to transmog? I personally can be pretty happy with [b]31[/b]. So, the system sucks but Bungie is dumb because they are trying to cap transmog when most armors look like garbage and very few people [b]truly[/b] want to unlock 100's of items per character. Just be patient for a couple of seasons and don't let Bungie get in your head because you "can't" have things that you don't [i]actually[/i] want, even if their greed is aggravating.

                        • They aren’t going to do that. Unlimited transmog would destroy what little loot value for armor remains in the game.
