That's debatable.
English
-
I hate the loot boxes but the best cosmetic items in the game are in there, which is the problem.
-
I don't care about cosmetic items at all so I'm not concerned about which ones are in the Eververse boxes. I'm certainly not going to spend any real money on trying to get them, either.
-
Plus the non cosmetic only items detailed before
-
The bonuses provided by the exotic ghost are quality of life improvements at best. They don't increase your power, they don't make it easier to clear the raid or top the scoreboard in the Crucible. Extra XP just means you're getting that next Bright Engram slightly faster than before, which of course just provides more unimportant cosmetic loot. And improved PE rewards? So we're getting three tokens and a blue now? Hardly game changing.
-
But the point is that it does change the game in some way. Even if minuscule it goes against their promise
-
hahahaha you expect bungie to keep its promises, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
-
Are we really that concerned about quality of life stuff? I thought it was pay to win that people were afraid of?
-
This leads to a pay to win system.
-
That's certainly possible. And when that day arrives I'll no longer play Destiny. But until then, I don't care enough to get all crusader about it. There are plenty of other good games to play.
-
I never said anything about pay to win. What I worry about is how all of this is locked behind Bright Engrams, I think instead, you should be able to directly earn the items you want. I want the public event ghost shell, they should like let you complete 1000 public events and then you get it. The problem, to me, is that 99% of all cosmetic rewards are in Eververse. You can’t get ships and shaders from crucible or strikes anymore
-
I know you didn't say pay to win, I was just saying that P2W is the only one I thought people would actually be upset about. I guess if ships and shaders is your thing, I can see why you'd want them as end of activity rewards. I never cared about them in D1 and don't care about them here either. I slap on whatever ship was the latest to drop and delete shaders as they roll in. I'm not going to waste time and glimmer applying shaders to individual items just to change the colour of something I can't see 90% of the time.
-
I just liked grinding for the raid ships and such. I have over 55 completions of WOTM but never got the ship (rip)
-
And you like that mechanic? 55 completions and no ship? I would think that was frustrating and demoralizing.
-
Better than $55 dollars spent on loot boxes and not getting the ship. Thats what you are pushing for, defending, are ok with. You are part of the problem too.
-
I have never spent a dime on loot boxes in any game nor will I ever. Destiny gives me the chance to grind them out through bright engrams and that's fine with me. A loading screen cosmetic isn't important enough to care either way.
-
Nah. It gave me incentive to grind and continue playing the raid. The ship wasn’t going to affect my power, so I didn’t feel demoralized. I didn’t need it, but I wanted it.
-
You are a far more patient man than me. I would have given up long before 55.
