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 problem is not the dust price of the eververse items. The current problem is the the dust you can earn from game items VS the cost of eververse items. Bungie needs to do something to lvl the gains VS costs. Not everyone have huge amounts of dust and since this event not gona have specific engrams , they should us get dust from EAZ runs.

    It's not worth complaining about because at the end of the day... 1. It's cosmetic 2. You can buy the cosmetic with in-game currency 3. YOu can buy it with real money if you want 4. You can clearly see what you're purcashing, no RNG loot box b.s I mean compared to industry standard it's not bad. Try playing F2P game such as Apex Legends, where you can end up spending 100 dollars just to get the skin you want because of RNG.

      • Oh it makes sense ... to Bungie. See they take all your bright dust now and then in September, when you can no longer break anything down into bright dust you will [i]have[/i] to spend more cash. They are attempting to relieve us of our bright dust. My advice is this if you play the game because you like the game than you don’t need ever-junk. If you play because you want your character to look good break out the credit cards .... oh, yeah, also dont play a warlock!

      • Hey, but we could be sure Activison was a mt forcer, right?=) Sorry, but with New Light Destiny will be f2p game with paid DLC content and full real money shop. Warframe sell cosmetic, but provide EVERYTHING else for free. I mean, look at last update demo from Tennocon. And then look at Shadowkeep. One cost 30$ and other cost...well...nothing! If Railjack update will drop at the same time with Shadowkeep, I know which game I will play. And this is not one about blue guardians. My plan was to buy Shadowkeep and leave after next season. But now with how Solstice happend and half of my good clanmates already uninstall D2, I'm just not sure...

        • Funny how they get us to use up our bright dust reserves at the tribute hall. Just in time for Solstice of heroes, so now that we have no bright dust, we're strong armed into paying $ if we want the glows. GG BUNGiE. Maybe Activision wasn't the only one being shady and greedy. 🤔

                • Just have to perk up and play an even more conservative play style. I had a feeling things would go downhill since season of opulence didn't have the usual engram we're accustomed too. As for now, only ornaments will be worth the time.

                • Bungie wants to have their @ss and eat it, but if you think i'm spending that kind of money on a cosmetic item, then i'm afraid they'll only end up eating rubbish from the bin. Come on now, for the amount of money it costs for glows, I could buy a full game. Hell, if i'm patient and wait for a sale, I could buy a triple A game and all of its dlc for that price. Is is expensive to keep this game running? Well, its expensive to play it, too. I've pumped hundreds of pounds into this franchise, and the fact that you want more for happy meal toys either tells me that you're high or stupid Or both. Take your pick.

                • Yeah, I think this will push me in the other direction and not want to buy Shadowkeep. This isn't a F2P game. I miss the olden days when developers would make their games and characters look great for the base price and not to milk their customers for more money. I'll pass on being treated this way.

                    I'm wondering when we will start seeing in-game adverts for silver sales. Seems those loading areas ( when we get stuck ) in strikes.... would be perfect Bungie. DMG04 what do you think ?... " Thanks for the feedback, we will pass it on to the dev team "

                    • Pretty spot on. And while I never really thought about it before, the bright dust being used for the tribute hall thing does seem pretty shady. That’s a currency closely linked to real world money whereas the rest are game world materials. All in all you explained it perfectly.

                    • Bungie looks at the people bragging about having 50k+ bright dust and thinks that those people represent the entirety of the community. No bungie, not everybody has 50k bright dust just lying around, stop acting like it.

                        • Listen, buddy, I'm going to let you in on a secret. And, man oh man are you lucky to be enlightened today. So, that 15k Bright Dust, yes it's expensive. Yourself and a lot of other players have had the correct reaction to the high cost of 15k Bright Dust. Now, that reaction is the result of a well researched marketing technique designed to make people consider the alternative Silver purchase. Only 800 Silver you say? Well, I AM running low on Bright Dust, and I may want that cool short Sparrow and Beach Ball Ghost Shell. Let me just head over to the Store and buy some Silver. I need 2400 Silver total, so that's $19.99 for 2000+ 300 bonus Silver...oh shoot, that leaves me 100 short, so another $4.99 for 500 more... Hmmm... OK cool! Then I'll have 400 left over and can buy 2 little shiny nick nacks too! Oh boy! Isnt spending real money fun? Let me do it again tomorrow! I spent more than I needed for what I wanted, but it's ok! I found something else that I could buy that will be sold for Bright Dust at some point in the future, but that's ok, I'll buy more Silver tomorrow! Next week! Next month! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Also, this might be sarcasm, it might not be. It might be a mix of both. I'll let everyone decide for themselves.
