Ascendant Shards and Enhancement Prisms NEED a higher limit

Title. Also make something you can buy with it for those of us that already have masterworked armour and guns. Exotics for shards is nice but maybe some for prisms too or something good for them like missing exotic armour? 10 Ascendant Shards limit is absolutely rediculous. Especially wasting them just so you can reset things! Losing a very valueable material shouldn't be a thing! Edit: click spoiler for edit to your responses. [spoiler]For those saying "if you are at the limit, you don't use/need them". I am A) Saving up for Witch Queen when there will be new gear taking all my mastwork materials cause B) there is nothing to do right now and no content so grinding for Acendent Shards and Enhancement Prisms during the quiet periods would be nice. C) I do have days where I switch up armour on multiple characters for whatever reason (recently cause I found I had a mod I love and it only went on solar armour but I didn't have my armour as solar, so I had to spend alot to switch my armour types or when I get new exotics finally and want to upgrade them for using with mods). D) I have times where I grind Nightfalls for days on end, then go weeks without doing one. So it would be nice to actually keep the rewards rather than lose them to masterworking garbage to store em with a low return on dismantle. E) Season Pass and Vendor A.S.s and E.P.s don't go to postmaster. You have to waste yours that you worked hard for, on the spot, to even reset, or lose them in the season pass. In this case the limit of 10 is only 10. Not 40, you can't use the postmaster. Yes this is a very long edit but it is in response to me reading your over 150 comments. You guys took your precious time and invested it in writing a comment, the least I can do is care enough to read the comments on posts I create.[/spoiler] [spoiler] Guess what? My mod components, dark fragments, etc, are [u]uncapped[/u]. Acendent Shards can be increased. Me having more A.S.s does not negatively impact you, so don't comment as if it does.[/spoiler]

  • Increase prisms to 100 and shards to 20. My postmaster is usually full with prisms from vendor rank up. This will also free up other consumables because you can buy more prisms and shards. Without worry of them being deleted in postmaster.

    • Shouldn't be capped. Period. Hard stop. Imagine going to work, getting a paycheck and the bank just shreds your cheque and says "spend your money if you want to store more"

        Careful what you ask for. What people ask and what Bungo hears are most often wildly different. So much so that I don't think the below strays too far into hyperbole... Bungie now - "We're listening". Bungie next season - "We've heard that people are having issues with too many Ascendant Shards and Enhancement Prisms in their inventories. Going forward players will be only be able to acquire one Ascendant Shard and one Enhancement Prism, per season, per account. (Now stop asking for improvements and buy more dresses.)"

          You have a point. Too bad most agreeing responses are drowned out by mindless trolls saying things that make no sense. Not using them for most of us just means nothing of value dropped recently. After enough play next season, there will be plenty to masterwork again. The limit is totally arbitrary. We see many other items stack way higher and don't like our hard work ejected from the postmaster by all the blue/umbral garbage. There's no actual reason anyone has for the limit of 10. We won't be at a level to just grind GM early in the season so we stock up now (or I do anyway). If these nay sayers want to impose stupid rules on themselves, let them delete all but 10 of their shards. For everyone else though, increase the limit to at least 99! I earned mine and so there's no reason to delete them. Same for enhancement prisms. This game is grindy enough as is. There's no reason to delete our stuff. The end. -delete meaning after I earn another when I have 10 and 10 in postmaster, it's poof gone...like I didn't run the gm at all. Hah and now I read your edit as I was closing the app. Yup. I could have saved time writing lol

            Starting to run out of Exotics to MW myself. Too many shit rolls that are for the bin rather than MW’ing. I really think they should rework the system where we farm for the stat number and solely the stat number and allow us to re-roll the Exotic to the desired outcome. If it drops with the stat distribution you like, more power to you. For example, you get a 65 roll Eye of Another World, it will always re-roll to 65. Uh oh, you complete a GM and you got another, but this time with a 70 roll? Well… you might need to delete the previous one you MW’ed. I do not want 10+ Mobility on Titan or Warlock Exotics thanks. Theoretically a 65 roll with 10+ Mobility to me is a sub 55 roll. Exotics should be rare, but their rarity should be subsidised by their ability to slot into any loadout or setup seemlessly. Nothing worse than getting a 67 roll Falling Star with 28 Mobility and 26 Strength. I haven’t gotten another one since Season of the Chosen! Which was my first one! Actually had to use the Collection one instead as it was better and that has 40 something stats!!!

          • It's bad cuz I got stacks of both in the postmaster and know I should just masterwork random gear and vault them, but just can't bring myself to do it. Then imma be mad at myself when they get deleted, go farm for more, and do it again 🤦🏾‍♀️

          • The amount of backlash over suggesting a basic QOL change is exactly why we can't have nice things. There are many cases where you [i]can't[/i] use them, because the bottleneck on resources is enhancement cores, not shards or prisms. If you're fairly new to the game or need to set up a lot of gear sets, you go through boat loads of cores. And it's clear that this itemization is by design because cores are the only resource with bounties available with hard limits. They want you to have to grind for cores and spend them in large quantities. With that context, there is no practical reason for this cap on shards and prisms. It doesn't matter if you "aren't using them". That's not a reason for it to not be changed and presents no plausible argument against removing the cap. Let us exchange shards for cores or prisms for cores and then the cap might make sense. That would be a practical reason for a cap on them, because shards would suddenly become currency for more than a couple of specific things and would become actually useful.

            • Nah 40 shards and 200 prism more than enough. If you can do GM or master consistently you do not need more than that.

                    • [quote]Guess what? My mod components, dark fragments, etc, are uncapped.[/quote] Factually untrue for dark fragments, they are capped at 200. The problem you have is that many people probably agree with you on some level, but your edited responses to comments comes off as not understanding dissenting opinions that may have value. On top of that, you come off as selfish by saying things like "Me having more A.S.s does not negatively impact you, so don't comment as if it does." Either your opinion has merit or it doesn't, it shouldn't be about how things affect you. Now that's out of the way, let's talk about A.S.s (which is an interesting way to abbreviate it btw) and E.P.s stacks. I'm of the opinion that these materials should have a cap, but it should be increased while getting rid of the way to store them in the postmaster. I would propose to increase the stack to 50 Ascendant Shards and 250 Enhancement Prisms, but remove the ability to store these materials in the Postmaster. This does a couple of things: 1. Increases the total inventory size of materials by 25%, which is always a net positive. 2. Reduce/Remove the anxiety of spending these materials. Even though we can hold 40 Ascendant Shards, given that the way to manage this is to have materials in 4 different locations while ensuring your postmaster doesn't overflow, it feels like you almost need to hold onto these materials constantly in order to play the game efficiently. If instead you had a single stack of even 40, more players would use more materials more often. I am not a fan of making these materials uncapped for a couple reasons: 1. This will dilute the material to the point where it is completely meaningless, similar to the issue of what happened with Exotic Shards in Destiny 1 and Legendary Shards in Destiny 2. When you have a material that is overly abundant, it loses its value. 2. Even though farming Nightfalls can be a way to fill in the content gap in the short term, it is not a long term solution to anything as you will be in a similar situation months or years from now with 500 Ascendant Shards.

                      • I agree. The thing is I don't care having that capacity but it's annoying to always dismantle them to rank up in crucible.

                        • Its just another one of Bungie's ridiculous 'gatekeeper' methodologies that they have. Every material should be able to stack to 999 and then create a new stack. While we are at it, let us dismantle Shards and Prisms's for HALF of what they cost to make. Shard -> 5 Prisms Prim -> 5 Cores Atleast that way the hundreds of shards/prisms that just evaporate because i have 10/50 in my postmaster can be turned into something useful.

                          • “We need more material storage.” Use your Postermaster as extra storage and masterwork exotics that you then put in the Vault “We need more Vault space and a better Postmaster system.” Don’t use your Postmaster as a second Vault, and you don’t need those 100 masterworked Aeon gauntlets in your Vault Truly, an endless calamity we have here.
