Commented on this a few weeks ago. Copy pasting for posterity: [quote]A bit of reason to this madness: When we do exact numbers, there’s extra work if we have to update them. Lets say you have to get 300 grenade kills, and we decide to lower it to 100. Every localized version of Destiny 2 has to make, test, and verify the change works. Sure, changing a 3 to a 1 doesn’t seem to hard, but when you’re doing dialogue tor the entire game, typos can slip through, and lead to confusion. With percentages, the change can be made on the backend, communicated via TWAB/tweet, and done. No risk to game text that could have a minor bug introduced, then require a future hotfix to address. We put exact numbers where we can as often as we can, but sometimes opt for percentages to give room for updates if needed, without having to test in every language.[/quote]
