Pretty soon the class item will start dropping for all players... rumor is....
[spoiler]It was originally slated for September and the 10 yr event, but I heard it got pushed up. I actually think it was supposed to be live this week. Wave 4 Overthrow chest... rng with an escalating chance for each character's first drop. Any Pale Heart chest thereafter.
[/spoiler]
I think this was always the plan. My advice to @Bungie would be to share and surface the 'right' information to the player. And context and timing can be a factor.
I'm actually seeing a good number of new players. However, morale is low... sometimes you need to ruin the surprise for the sake of solidarity and good will.
So, tell us about the alternative source for the class item.
Tell us about the exotic mission in Act 3 (It can be full teaser; it need not spoil anything).
Tell us about the Dungeon coming in Episode 2. Do a 3-man race?
Tell us about the 10-yr anniversary festivities.
In addition, STOP telling us other stuff. Until the Patch Notes. I'm talking adjustments in favor of balance, aka, "nerfs".
We don't NEED most of that info weeks, months in advance. They're never that bad, why create that stew of animus to bubble and fester... black on the stove by the time the changes go live.
The one exception would be brand NEW exotics, or super META high investment exotics and kits... Like you wouldn't just drop the Well adjustment on day 1. Still, it needs to be a rare preemptive communication, imo....
Just try it. You can always revert, feeding the sensationalized acrimony that poisons community morale...
I don't know why you would.
@Bungie, for your consideration, please and thank you 😇 👍💠.

1 ReplyHold on!!! 😯 You're asking for a consideration from Bungie, yet you have the nerve to negatively critise or shoot down a lot of other players' considerations......
