Are you happy with the material upgrade system?
I wonder if Bungie will respond to straightforward polling, so I will be posting a number of simple polls. Add your comments about how you think things should be fixed and why, or why not.
We currently have a lot of materials for upgrading - ascendent materials, radiant materials, Eris specific materials, location materials, exotic shards... Is this too much? Should it be simplified? Why or why not? Let Bungie know!
Edit: Some people really like these polls and would like to see them trending. Perhaps Bungie will see them then and respond to them in some way? Maybe wishful thinking.. Anyways, I have added links to the other polls so that you can vote on all of them!

This is a large list of polls. If I come up with more, I probably won't be able to add them here, so be on the lookout for more polls. Also, if you have any other polls that are specifically directed as feedback to Bungie, please post them in the comments!

When I read "materials" all I could think about was how I can no longer trade materials in for crucible marks... Sigh

Edited by KARMA: 12/18/2014 3:35:17 PMIt seems fractured. I understand the theory behind it, but then it keeps changing. When HoW comes out, are we going to get a third type (technically 4th) of upgrade material? Something that only drops in the raid, only useable on Raid armor? What happens when commendations become too common place? Are we also going to have to obtain a forth requirement towards purchasing vendor gear? (remember, you need the rep level). We have 4 destination resources, 3 class exclusive resources, the 1 weapon resource, the 1 glimmer boost turned currency resource, 5 shard resources, 2 marks resources, 2 types of commendation resources, technically 6 reputation resources (plus 2 more for events seen to date), plus glimmer, plus motes, plus strange coins, plus a handful of one off resources (looking at the likes of embalming orbs) - [B]around 30 different "currencies", or purchase requirements[/B]. THAT is a convoluted economy.

2 RepliesOverall I like the material system. I am pretty outraged on the scarcity of ascendent mats for TDB exotics and raid stuff. Ascendant mats were pretty easy to obtain but the new radiant mats are way to rare. Need to find a happy medium.

Edited by Canthros: 12/16/2014 11:18:55 PMDestiny's material system strikes me as misguided, in general. Maybe it's symptomatic of trying to stretch out the limited content, or maybe it's just a questionable design choice. I feel like radiant mats are a mistake, and I'm not really thrilled about exotic shards, either. Both serve to clutter up the the existing inventory system, and neither really offers anything but a different gate on progress. All of it feels clunky. It seems like an afterthought. ETA: and, I don't raid. So, I really only have experience with the exotics.

1 ReplyRadiant materials exist because so many people complained about level 30s that cleared the vault twice. Radiant materials make a player have to play more then twice even if they received all raid gear. The people brought this upon themselves.
-
1 ReplyI can see why this poll is a bit closer than the other polls. The changes to mats don't really become a problem until you raid and there are groups that never touch this part of the game.
-
The new mat system is a joke. It's too hard to farm the raid mats, so versatility is out the window. Resetting progress would be fine if we got the materials spent back or something.

1 ReplyAscendant materials for everything

5 RepliesShould have stuck with ascendant materials for everything IMO.
