15,000 BRIGHT DUST JUST FOR THE GLOWS?

AND THE ONES FROM LAST YEAR DON’T WORK, OR EVEN AT LEAST GIVE A DISCOUNT? AFTER HOW MUCH BRIGHT DUST THE TRIBUTE HALL COST? Season of Opulence indeed. Edit to elaborate: Why was Bright Dust ever involved in Tribute Hall? A currency reserved for Eververse suddenly being of any kind of importance to Calus? Yet people are still sitting around with full stacks of Baryon Bough that are good for LITERALLY. NOTHING. Then there’s the matter of how much cheaper the glows were last year, while also being available for free unlock through leveling up. Now it’s way more expensive with no alternative. It’s just as backwards as when Year 1 drop rate for Exotics was super high and Three of Coins were unnecessary. Then Year 2 comes, Exotic drop rate gets severely nerfed and Three of Coins are removed. It’s such backwards logic that gets us nowhere. And the fact that those who were here in Year 1 and claimed full sets of Majestic armor, as well as all the glows, had that armor invalidated in WEEKS. The glows became USELESS. Now logic would state that those who worked for them should be able to use the same glows on the updated gear, yet we have updated Ornaments. Which would be fine and all, if there we any kind of lessened cost as a result, but there’s absolutely nothing. It’s just one thing after another. And if this is the trend going into Shadowkeep? Yeah. Edit again for those saying “just don’t buy them”: what then, would you say is the draw of solstice of heroes? What’s one of the biggest things Bungie has advertised about SoH since the Opulence Roadmap came out? Did Bungie ever act as though the Majestic Armor was the real endgame of SoH, or did they constantly show the armor with the Ornaments? You know, the Ornaments similar to the Revelry flair we temporarily got, but for free? The glow packages we got FROM ENGRAMS LAST YEAR? That if you just played enough, you received at NO COST? The Ornaments have always been one of the biggest motivators of SoH because they’re the closest we’ve got to Chroma in D2, aside from Prime armor that only really glows in Gambit. Yet it’s locked behind such a ridiculous wall of BD. The idea of unlocking this kind of endgame cosmetic through actual gameplay seems to be OUT OF THIS WORLD in the modern gaming industry. Why not make it so masterworking your Solstice Gear grants the glows? It seems to be such a foreign concept that used to be natural to Bungie. Looking at YOU Nanophoenix. “BuT iTs STiLl pUrChAseAble ThRoUgh GaMepLaY” Bounties give 150 Bright Dust for ridiculous objectives. Five Gambit matches to get 150 Bright Dust, when I could dismantle an RNG drop Exotic Ship from a Best of Year One and get FIVE HUNDRED. And once again, here we go again with Shadowkeep. And just so everyone is aware, I’ve now purchased all three glows. And now have 160 Bright Dust. But here comes SHADOWKEEP WITH NO ENGRAMS, HANG ON TO YOUR SEATS BOYS AND GIRLS One more edit: I find it hilarious that the new Ornaments STILL SUFFER from the SAME BUG AS LAST YEAR, where the ornament for the Hunter cloak doesn’t glow properly in social spaces. Same exact bug, so it’s clearly THE SAME CODING with a little flair. Yet players who already HAD the glows cant use them. Smh. Last edit: done responding to people.

    The moment they announced going semi free to play I knew the store prices would skyrocket. With their player numbers getting a bump with old players returning and falling futher after lost interest of new dlc they need a way to cash out on new people and the only way to do that and raise prices is go free to play. A clear slap in the face to everyone who paid hundreds of dollars and stuck with them through this train wreck. At this point if you're still loyal to Bungie you're either completely addicted or swimming I'm silver and resources. This is just disgusting. Still fun to watch tho lol

              • They should have added them as a possible drop in the packages. Opening packages = dismantle galore fest of blues. Nothing in them at all that ties to the event it self.

                  I like the argument, "it's only cosmetics" True, but aren't event's supposed to be fun collecting new items especially knowing it's a timed event leading a path as Barrett said around when Downing was going on? https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46567 [quote]Eververse We recognize that the scales are tipped too far towards Tess at the moment, and Eververse was never intended to be a substitute for end game content and rewards. So, we’ll be making three changes for upcoming Seasons: We’re shifting the balance of new content in favor of activity rewards over Bright Engrams. This includes adding Ghosts, Sparrows, and ships (to date found only in Bright Engrams) to achievement reward pools. [b]We'll provide a gameplay path to earn Bright Engrams and all contained rewards (including Event Engrams).[/b] We’ll give players more direct purchase options and make adjustments to Bright Engrams to allow players to get the items they want more often.[/quote] Edit: The issue isn't Tess selling items and never has been, the issue is the path Bungie has set up for this event is selfish. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) No engram to earn items from this event, the cost using bright dust to purchase items are really high. Whoops, I forgot, even the resources have been reduced and the grind for the gear and other items is extended a lot longer and when you think you are finished upgrading the gear you're actually not because you have a choice to trade it in for something new when Shadow Keep drops?

                            • It’s at the point I would much rather spend $24 for the glows than 15k bright dust. As bright dust is literally more difficult to get than actual money

                              • I'm glad they are letting people use this armor next season as that is a step in the right direction. As is the bungie way with one hand they give and the other they take away. People asked for more direct ways to buy/earn things from eververse. So bungie did just that. They also did away with the engram system which was fun and always gave you a small amount of hope you might get something super cool you wanted from eververse even when your bright dust was low. Now bright dust is going to only come from bounties next season. Also where is any info about changes to crucible they have been saying was going to be addressed this summer? I'm pretty burned out with destiny at the moment since tribute hall dropped. So I'm gonna pretty much wait and see how good shadowkeep is.

                              • The glows are garbage, I wouldn't hand over 100 bright dust for a set.

                              • To be fair, every legendary armor piece of the eververse grants 100 bright dust. I got the arc glow with ease as I started with 34 bright dust. I won't buy the other glows since they don't have a color fade to the tips like the arc one. Besides that, arc is my most played subclass on titan and I will only play for the titan set. After that, I go back to world of warcraft.
