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.

  • Hopping someone can confirm something for me. Is it true that bright dust will not be obtainable after Shadowkeep drops, so anything that gives you dust today will only give you shards/glimmer post-Shadowkeep? If so, isn’t the advice to everyone to dismantle any and all items that drop bright dust (and that aren’t being actively used) today? Just trying to get a handle on what I should be deleting today so I can at least maximize bright dust bank.

    • Imagine wasting all your bright dust on the tribute hall while knowing solstice is coming up in a few weeks and then complaining on the forums about it.

          • Well you know you didn’t have to spend bright dust on the tribute hall. You could have waited till you got all the discounts. You brought this in yourself

            • Did we say anything about it being overpriced Last Year? I did some looking and found the random dust package to be 1000 So really the price hasn't changed. I don't remember the reaction, or if the engram made it moot because of no dups

              • Well most people will probably disagree with me but I don't think it's that bad. Probably because I'm only gonna do this on one class. I use a ghost that gives extra xp so I level up faster and I end up getting a lot of those engrams and to top it off, 1/4 if not more of the times I decrypt it, it's an exotic. Keep in mind that this is a month long quest so that's plenty of time

                • Guess I won't be getting any glows then, sigh!! Could somebody help me out. I've watched YT vids on armor requirements for Shadowkeep but that hasn't helped me understand if we'll be able to keep armor we have now or will it be null and void once Shadowkeep drops. If Shadowkeep armor, or 2.0 armor, as its called, will have an extra perk than armor we have now then the answer is self-explanatory, I just want to know. Also, I heard the legendary Solstice armor will be setup like the armor in Shadowkeep will be, meaning it would be worth the grind to get it. Is this true??? I'm assuming it'll be "ok" armor for the start of Shadowkeep but will quickly be replaced by better stuff. Thoughts?

                  • Yes, all the rich people will be walking around glowing and all the poor people will be downtrodden and bitter (with no glow). Kinda like real life...LOL. I too choked on the prices so the question for me is, are they worth it? I can see myself very easily living without them and still enjoy playing the game.

                      Players having a huge stockpile of Bright Dust affects the chance of them buying Silver (Micro transactions) to obtain those "coveted" Barbie doll accessories from Eververse. Hence why everything costs more bright dust, more things need bright dust and we are getting less. Bungie is treating Destiny 2 like a mobile game. Bungie clearly watched [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNjI03CGkb4]this[/url] video.

                      • He's got a point every time they re-release something that we have already accomplished in the game they make us have to relearn it repay for it and the cost is usually increased on whatever it is that we have to do so all the stuff we've already accomplished or collected is completely useless this is the rinse and repeat cycle that Destiny has been falling into since Year one and I can definitely see how frustrating it is for some people who don't have eight to 10 hours a day like u 1% who have no f****** life and can sit and play this game from dawn to dusk but for people who have lives and families the time that it takes us to earn this stuff and finish these achievements and accomplished list of it's a pain in the ass to have to go back through and do it all over again and now it cost more more time more materials more dust I get where you're coming from there is no reward for being a longtime player in this game

                        • I agree in that it should cost the same as it did last year, or at least give us a chance to obtain the glows in-game. With the exception of the raid exotics, the drop rates on exotics are fine imo

                            • If they wanted to sell cosmetics for $20 per event/season ( to buy EVERYTHING) it would still be gross but I could probably forgive it. Season of Opulence would cost something like $300-400 if you bought everything for silver. (Seriously.) And THEN another event within the season (Solstice) would cost another $100+. This is for ONLY 1/4 of the year. Yeah yeah, cosmetic only, don't have to buy, buy only what you want. But people like to collect everything. Mostly though, it's the sheer MAGNITUDE of the CEILING on this. That some idiot might pay more in 2 months than the actual content for the entire FRANCHISE. (And you probably could have bought collector's editions for that kind of money.) Just makes me want to stop playing. Feel like a sucker even just playing the content and watching this game go to shit.

                            • I can't get, why they sell every subclass separatly?! I mean, someone plays only one subclass for a year? No! It's like add DLC with new subclass during year 1. Stupid. If full pack for three subclass cost 5k dust, I think it would be fine.
