I’ve seen numerous posts, “Down with Eververse,” who hasn’t? The forum pages are filled with them, but what I haven’t seen are any reasonable ways to combat the problem. I play Destiny because I love the game, it’s a fun place to talk with friends, make new friends, it’s something for me to do in my spare time, and I enjoy the *experience*. Yes, I did pay for my exotic Dawning ship (I’m a collector), with the help of dismantling a large number of shaders to get up to that insanely amount of RNG’d bright dust, and after I bought it I put in on and continued on my way to doing the weekly milestones. Did anyone ask where I got the ship? No. Did I fill like I earned it? Nope. Was it an experience buying it? Not really. Guess what though? I can tell I got the Gjallarhorn as a Nightfall reward, and I ran upstairs to tell my husband yelling and screaming. The Nanophoenix, well I got that on September 1st, just days before the D2 release, and yes I do think it was way to low of a drop rate, because I was doing Aksis cp’s 3x a week. However when it did drop I was greeted with congratulations from the friends who had been playing with me throughout the majority of the cp’s. D1 was filled with experiences. Not saying that D2 doesn’t have any, but locking your loot, that Cayde promised us behind a paywall, is not an experience. Where are the raid ships, sparrows, and ghosts? Why am I still missing a cloak from the faction rally, when I turned in the maximum allowable packages both times? Why does D2 feel like a sequel to Vanilla Destiny and not where we left off? Kiosks, vault space, raid gear with raid perks, secret alternate ending story missions, strike specific loot, even adding a modifiers would be a plus. Take a look back at D1 and bring some of those elements back into this game. Fix the levels on the raid, bring back a normal and hard mode, then have the Prestige version level with expansions. Now, onto Eververse, while I do like the idea of leveling up to earn her seasonal engrams, the limited event limit on engrams is in no way fair and removing the chance at getting all the items from a gift schematic, well that’s more insulting. Going out and grinding out resources and enemies for another duplicate ghostshell or ship, well I’ll do it, but it would have been better to actually have a chance of getting that exotic emote. Dismantling unwanted dawning items should have rewarded bright dust. I’ll applaud you on one thing, thanks for letting us know that all items would be purchasable at least once during the event so I know I can complete my armor set. Here’s my suggestion, put some of the loot back into the game so that we can have those experiences and the possibility to earn them. Make bright dust actually purchasable with silver, so those that those that want to buy a specific item actually can. Don’t put such a small number cap or a cap at all on limited event engrams, after all it’s already limited by the time we have to earn them. If you’re going to give out a gift, include the entire loot-pool. Nothing is more angering than getting a level 10 engram from a schematic only to have it decrypt into a light level 10 helmet that I already have. It would have been nice if it would have decrypted into dawning gear or at least gave me some bright dust upon dismantling it, so I could try my luck at something else. Bungie I really hope you’re listening, because I want this game to do well. I’ve invested a lot of time into it and I want some more experiences out of it. One last thing please, why is vault space still an issue and why does it always take you so long to give a straight answer about it? It would be so refreshing to see the fist line of a TWAB, “Vault Space has increased!” or to hear it at the beginning of a stream, don’t make us wait for something that’s been an issue since... well always.

  • My idea for Eververse, which obviously isn't as popular as outright deleting it, would be to take the ships, sparrows, ghosts, etc. and add them into in-game content loot pools in various ways. To compromise, add new slots on your character, similar to the auras, for hairstyles and facial markings. Also create a collections tab for unlocked hairstyles and facial markings (as well as for shaders). Make the hairstyles and facial markings dyeable via shaders. Create more hairstyles and facial markings that can be bought either with bright dust or real money and release them with the more major updates. That along with Eververse specific shaders and emotes would stay true to the whole 'Eververse is about looking good' thing, add our drops back into the loot pool, and still give them some options for purely cosmetic real money transactions.

  • Make armour from end game have perks that have a use instead of cosmetic nonsense. Then nobody will be too bothered about eververse ,then again IMO I think that having only cosmetic armour was the end game to entice the player to buy silver to gain eververse armour.

  • I am so for armor perks. I loved searching and grinding for my helmets that had health regen on an orb pick up. It added replay ability to the raid searching for that best armor piece. The raid specific armor sets gave me a reason to put on that specific raid gear. Just think if you saw a group of six guardians running around in the tower in D1 all wearing VoG gear is was very easy to assume that they were going to start playing it very soon or had just finished playing it. If you were to see my Titan in the D2 tower you’d think that I must have been digging through our old tower scrap metal for my last activity. (Sorry I’m a hunter at heart), but wearing a full Leviathan prestige set does absolutely nothing for me in the actual raid.

  • Eververse problem ---> remove the store ---> put these items in PvP and PvE ----> fixed problem. It honestly is that easy, yet, they can't do this since it'll kill their profits even a little

  • Bump like a mother for the vault space. Absolutely no reason this should be an issue!

  • ^ This. So much this. I did every weekly/daily quest on 3 characters and received 0 of the Eververse armor pieces for the event and then such a low fraction of the rewards (speeders/ghosts/ships) I did get could be turned into dust. It's almost like they wanted buying them with real money to be the only option to get the unique event items.

  • how about just remove lootboxes and provide items via game activity completions. there should be no compromise with Everese or any other micrtransactions. remove it and let people just be rewarded to simple gameplay.

  • Read the comments. That’s were all the suggestions lie. The post is just one statement

  • Players have said that if eververse was removed to add the existing content to endgame activities in certain loot pools. It's been stated in "almost" every Eververse topic. I didn't find that idea unreasonable. People are purposely ignoring any feed back now to act like there's no alternatives in those topics.
