Would you grind for weapon ornaments if there was a specific way to get them? Up vote if so.

Could be good info for bungie to consider.

  • Considering this came before the Director's cut was released... This is [b][i]priceless[/i][/b]. Please read: "[b]Season of Opulence, Part II: The Evolving Eververse[/b]" from the "cut" to better understand the following in it. [quote]"The storefront, which we launched alongside Season of Opulence is the first part of the strategic shift we're making with MTX. The decision to run old content in Bright Engrams instead of making new Bright Engrams is another part of the shift. We want to believe that our players would rather just buy things they like from the store."[/quote] [quote]"We're giving it some Class specific content, so if you're on your Titan looking for Titan Universal Ornaments with smaller shoulders, you'll see Titan armor on one of the store's subpages."[/quote] I'm not even going to speculate on the above... I'll give them (Bungie) time to further explain. Love the new pet name for "micro" transactions. Common sense aside, there's nothing to fault them for the next quote. This is a solid. [quote]"We're also going to make it so that the pieces you've already acquired from a given set reduce the Silver price of the set. For instance, if you are 3/5 Optimacy set on your Titan, the cost to finish the set in Silver will be reduced by 60%."[/quote] Now for the biggie! [quote]" We have made deliberate choices related to cosmetic items and not having them come from gameplay. Gameplay rewards are where you get items, power, mods, perk combinations, stats, triumphs, and titles. The aesthetics for armor blurs the line some – we want players to get cool armor from activities and the world that feel thematic to where they were acquired. Cosmetic items like universal ornaments, weapon ornaments, shaders, ships, sparrows, emotes, and finishers typically come from the store (There are exceptions, but generally speaking, that's how we think about this).  We are continuing to try and separate capability/gameplay from vanity. Armor 2.0 and Universal Ornaments are big parts of this separation. This is also why Finisher perks are mods that can be socketed into equipment, so that their aesthetic can stand alone. "[/quote] So suck it up butter cup and pony up the silver, the acrius ornament, the raid emote, omelette sparrow etc. were a fluke.
