[quote]The sun is darkened and the only Light to be found comes from you and your partner fighting as one. Stay in close proximity to your partner and your abilities recharge at a faster rate. Stray too far, and your enemies will be given a waypoint leading to your location.[/quote] Sounds interesting. I'm not a fan of PVP, and probably wont be playing this, but that's a neat idea. [quote]If you can’t find a partner, don’t worry. We’ll play matchmaker and find one for you.[/quote] Thank you. Some players have difficulty putting teams together. This was a wise choice on your part that I'm sure took very little effort in leveraging your existing matchmaking systems. [quote]The best way to earn rewards during Crimson Days is to compete in the Crimson Days Crucible playlist, [/quote] of course it is, it's a PVP event. [quote]and we’ve tuned the experience to focus on rewarding single-character play.[/quote] what does this mean? You expect players to pick one character and stick with it rather than swapping between classes as they choose? This needs clarification. *EDIT* I think what they mean here is that the knockout list is character-specific, so if you don't have all the rewards on your Titan yet and decide to switch to your Hunter, there is a good chance you'll get items you already have. It's tuned in such a way that they expect you to stay on one character until you have all the items. That's how I interpret it anyway, after thinking it over more. [quote]Most rewards are found within a new Crimson Engram, with all contents on a “knock-out” list, preventing you from receiving duplicate items until you’ve earned all of the new gear.[/quote] Knockout list? Finally. We're tired of duplicates, especially during temporary events. This needs to be a thing from now on. [quote]No matter which activity you play in Destiny 2 during Crimson Days, every player will receive both an Illuminated Engram and a Crimson Engram when they level up.[/quote] Smart. Many players dont enjoy PVP but still want a way to get the loot. If they're willing to grind endlessly to level up, let them. What harm is it? Hopefully though this does not come with a stealth nerf to XP gain. [quote]Crimson Engrams are only earnable through gameplay, are not capped or limited during the event. To qualify, you need only to reach the level cap for your Guardian (that’s 25 if you’ve acquired Expansion 1; 20 if you haven’t).[/quote] Good. Since Crimson engrams can't be bought, we can't accuse you of putting them behind the paywall and pushing the cash shop on us. You've also learned that capping our reward is a bad idea, and you learned that requiring the expansion only alienates your players that haven't bought it yet, regardless of their reason. You're improving, Bungie. :) [quote]• Complete the milestone “Welcome to Crimson Days” by finishing five Crimson Days matches and visiting Lord Shaxx in the Tower to earn the Fire of the Crimson Days Emblem and the Tirastrella Exotic Ghost Shell.[/quote] I suppose this is a fair trade, since some of the rewards below require PVE participation. And it's a guaranteed reward, so win or lose you'll get it after 5 matches. At least you dont required 5 [i]wins[/i]. Thanks. [quote]• Complete matches in the Crimson Days Crucible playlist for a chance to earn the Undeterred Exotic Sparrow.[/quote] No, bad Bungie. If I complete something during a limited time event, the reward should be guaranteed. Chance-based rewards should something I can go after at my leisure, when I want to, on my own time. In a time-limited event, all rewards should be guaranteed if you do the requisite activity. [quote]• Complete either the Leviathan Raid or the Raid Lair: Eater of Worlds to claim the Dieselpunk Exotic Ornament for Wardcliff Coil from the final chest.[/quote] Complete the raid, get the ornament. That's fair. And it's not a "high value" reward item, so those who dont get it wont feel like they missed something incredibly special or appealing. Ghosts and Sparrows are more appealing to most than an ornament. [quote]• Complete the Nightfall Strike during the Crimson Days event to earn the Flaunting Dance Emote.[/quote] Complete the Nightfall, get the emote: that's fair. Nightfalls aren't terribly hard for even a half-skilled team. [quote]Crimson Engrams will only be earnable through gameplay, but if you’re looking to directly purchase a specific item, Tess will also offer a selection of the Crimson Engram contents in exchange for the Bright Dust you are holding. Gear purchased with Bright Dust will also count towards the “knock-out” list mechanic described above, preventing duplicate items unless you have already earned all the rewards. [/quote] Again, we cant accuse you of pushing the cash shop since we can only get engrams via gameplay. And you're giving us the ability to buy the exact item we want in case we've not been able to farm engrams to get it. Smart. [quote]Every reward item obtained from a Crimson Engram can also be dismantled for Bright Dust, including event-specific shaders.[/quote] More ways to get dust, especially once we have all the rewards and start getting duplicates? Nice. Overall I have to say I'm rather pleased with how you're approaching this event, Bungie. If you'd make the sparrow a guaranteed reward I'd not have anything bad to say about it at all. You're really improving, and I think that's what makes that one misstep the more frustrating.

Everyone need to relax. I'm a PvE player. I do the raid every week. But I'm not complaining about crimson days. They are bringing back crimson days. It's better than D1 crimson days which everyone was so happy to play and got hyped to do. Now because bungo has made some mistakes in the past and your not forgiving them for it. They are fixing Destiny and all of you guys are only talking about the things they aren't doing. There's something for everyone. An emote for the nightfall players, an ornament for the raiders, and a sparrow, ghost, and emblem for THE ACTUAL EVENT, Crimson Days. Not to mention they are bringing back a new map that almost everyone liked, yet all of you still complain. This stuff you don't have to buy, it's free. You can get everything in the event with out paying a cent (not counting the price for the game). I think everyone just has to take a deep breath, and see that this isn't that bad. Anyways thank you Bungo, and keep it up. The game is going on the right direction.

This is boring. Nothing worth getting The sparrows are just worthless in this game because you barely use them other than a short distance for like 5secs since PVE is dull and they all look the same pretty much. The ghost have no perks. Just random new designs on the shell. New ornaments that don’t look exotic More stupid emotes Just nothing...nothing worth getting. There should be something amazing to get from this event, something that makes you work hard for. Maybe a weapon or armor piece that has a unique crimson day design and perk. Hire new people in your company that have fresh ideas because you guys just can’t pull a win and it’s getting depressing.

Can you please explain the logic in having a week long event with exclusive shaders that we will probably never be able to earn again? This means that we are going to have really think about whether or not we use them on a particular armor piece as once used they are gone! You really need to address the shaders going forwards tbh. We are chock full of the ones we never use and barely have enough of our favourites. I like the ability to use different shaders on different armors and weapons - but a use it and lose it strategy is just poor implementation in my opinion. When it could be so much better!

This event is garbage. No surprise there, but I kinda like one of the shaders, so I bought ten shader packs from Eververse and I got three of the one I didn't want. You have padded these packs with non-event shaders to reduce the chance of getting Crimson Days shaders. You never learn, do you? Unbelievable.

I would rather spend 2 hours playing your game just dismantling shaders.

Anyone think the rewards would have been better if it was another eververse event ?

God, those rewards are so numbingly lacklustre....

Maybe I’m wrong , but this doesn’t feel good at all . Where is the logic in increasing abilities and not just giving agility quicker super etc . As soon as my milestone is done I’m probably out . Playing agains 2 arc warlocks with pulse grenades and Perma rifts is just misery . Another swing and a miss . Edit; I will say that the eververse situation is a massive improvement along with the crimson engrams dropping after matches and with illuminated engrams .
