Dares of eternity double xp weeks.

I genuinely feel destiny could benifit from having double xp weeks in rotation with the other weekly benifits. Double Strike loot, valor, and infamy (if we keep gambit) are good ideas, that i hope get extended to dares. I attempted too look up how many completions of dares i had, but could only find the amount of chests I've opened, being 75. I wanna say I've been apart of 3 or 4 lightning rounds, so doing the math on subracting those extra chests, that's 9-12 less. Meaning I've completed 63-66 dares of eternity. My current rank with xur is 13. The catalyst for the magnum that provides the main desire to even play dares, is at rank 16. Their is literally no way to currently gain extra xp in dares of eternity aside from i believe legend dares. I've yet to get a fireteam for that, so do correct me if legend dares doesn't provide extra progress. If bungie wanted us to have a way, the borderline pointless bounties xur provides, or starhoure's bounties, would provide reputation. Sadly that doesn't appear to be the case. What would be the harm of such a thing? You could say bungie should just make the bounties provide xp for xur, and that would be a valid request. Me personally, I'd rather have extra xp weeks, since i feel they'd be better for grinding xp in bulk. It's not a good idea to grind that much, for more than a week tops anyways, and i don't expect to get extra xp weeks, and bounties awarding reputation at the same time. Don't let me asking for extra xp weeks stop you if you'd rather have xur xp from bounties, and do ask bungie. Both bounties providing extra xp, and double dares xp weeks can easily benifit destiny. I got no problem with either. This catalyst for the magnum shouldn't take this long to get, like any catalyst. It was bad enough when eriana's vow came out. Most players took an entire season with the xp boost from the season pass, to even hope to get the catalyst. If you ever expect bungie to learn from a mistake, expect them to take multiple attempts learn. I mean no I'll will on bungie when i say that. I love you guys, just as much as i hate quite a few of your decisions on destiny. If you ask me, nobody truly cares about destiny, unless you have a love hate relationship with destiny, bungie, or both. Bungie brought us all together, and we have countless different ideas and desires for destiny (sometimes too many different/conflicting ideas). Bungie can only do so much while welcoming all of it. I hope that studio expansion is going smooth. I started asking for that back in Shadowkeep, and correct me if im wrong, it was announced in season of arrivals. Loosing Activision had it's downsides sadly, so im glad y'all are taking initiative to solve that issue. Above all bungie, remember to FINISH polishing your diamond before working on a new one. That's always appeared to be the biggest issue I've seen with bungie. To the community, don't have high expectations of bungie after you feel burned by them a few times. Bungie can deliver high level content, but the more we desperatly expect it, the more we will be dissapointed. We can't always expect the best, cause nobody is perfect. Perfection is a myth because their's always something that could be better, and people never stop improving. This does include bungie. To all, stay safe, have fun, and most importantly, Eyes up guardians. Become legend.

    • Going after this catalyst is [i]almost [/i]as bed as the doing the en masse public events trying to stop the Almighty crashing into the Tower. What. A. Chore. The fun ended when I got Forerunner. It's not my thing to play Bungie's way for something I won't use much, let alone enjoy. I'm having a ball though, partying up with my Wingman and clan buddies, trying new loadouts and combos.

    • Got the catalyst then had the luckiest play of my Destiny career. Ya need to break 250k as part of the catalyst quest & when I seen that it was a genuine "oh go & frak yourself" moment lol but, I thought " well, let's go & do 3 a day & eventually I'll get the lightning round" So I roll my eyes, pour another Merlot & hit the q all ready for another tedious grind.. First game, I get the lightning round and break the 250k 🤣 Finished the catalyst & reset rank.. haven't been back since 😎

      • TL:DR Legend does give you a slight bump in XP, but it's streaks. I mine for 8 hours straight to get to level 16, bathroom breaks in between, microwave and hot pockets to my side, ibuprofen for the expected migraines of grinding, and using Ishtar to transfer worthwhile stuff from postmaster to vault. Suffice it to say, my rear and back hurt for a while - but salonpas for the save

      • I haven't played DoE since reaching rank 16.. and honestly the catalyst isn't even worth that grind. Time is better spent farming spoils for hours rather than doing DoE 100+ times for a catalyst that's not worth it.

      • Level 14. I hate this with a passion. Can't even play anything else because I don't want to lose my streak my streak bonus. I'm doing this *once* and then I'm not touching it with a 10' pole...

      • They've also recently reduced the amount of xp you get with it now capping at 125, it was 185 before. People say you don't have to grind things out immediately, but when they do things like this constantly then obviously people are going to try and get things done as soon as possible.

      • Would it anger you to know that I have reset 2x? and I'm like rank 8 on my 3rd. Oh and I work full time and spend time with my family. One of the other comments on your post made a good point, you could've run 3 dares by the time you finished the post.

      • The problem with your thinking is multiplying any xp by zero is still zero. Nobody plays this game maybe take the hit.

        • If they are not going to add extra XP via bounties, I think a request for double XP during periodic weeks is certainly reasonable. It’s very tedious. I take breaks and play other activities, but this negates the streak.

        • I'd be down for a double xp DoE if they do it next season. I really don't care about getting more xp before WQ.

          Instead of writing this you could’ve had another three or four runs completed. If you have time to write a book on the forums but not grind out what your complaining about then it’s probably a time management problem.

          • They just nerfed the rep so why ask for a double XP, they are more likely to give you a half reputation week instead.

          • The activity is mind-numbingly boring and I literally laugh out loud every time I hear that grown man making horse noises. It's so dumb. At this point, I won't get the catalyst and I don't care.

          • I would assume the reason we don’t get XP boosted weeks or weekends for Dares is because unlike Strikes, Crucible, and Gambit, Xur probably won’t get reset after this season. I don’t know what it looks like after you max out your rank with Xur, but if it is like the other activities I do think by default you should get at least a 2x if not 3x XP bonus applied to match completion XP. Just as a little encouragement to keep playing the activity and get materials faster. Now if Xur is getting reset after this season, then we should get at least one week of bonus XP between now and WQ.

          • Legend dares is a waste of time, they do not give extra xp. Just do a few normal in a row and you will get a small bonus at the end. It took me somewhere between 80-100 runs I believe to get to max rank, got tired of counting and just trucked thru it until done, and now, no more dares for me.

            • No thanks, unless the rewards get updated. It just pushes the other double xp/ reward weeks further away

            • TO EVERYONE: Legend Dares Of Eternity gives SIGNIFICANTLY MORE XP. So please go do that. It will also be in the game prabably until winter, atleast through WQ. Also doing multiple in a row, without switching activities grants 5x xp.

                • They have never released high level content during D2’s entire life cycle. D1 was as close as it ever came.

                • If you’re looking for a fireteam for Legend dares, there’s always plenty of LFGs open on the app. Most don’t require mic either. So if you’re worried about having to interact with other people, like me, then you don’t have to worry about that.

                  It was poorly implemented (painfully slow and tedious) from the start Two types of bounty, neither granted Dares XP progress Not even double XP & pinnacle for 1-4 player Legend (locked loadout) version They missed a trick with fresh NEW XUR style Weaponry, bosses & targeted loot (Season 8 Sundial had pinnacles and targeted loot bounties) And then there’s the [i]Lightning Round[/i] Damn the person that thought of introducing that without any rhyme nor reason as to why it proccs

                • I’ll be shocked if bungie doesn’t give us a double xp week for DoE, the xp requirement is absurd. Im still chipping away at it but I still have 5.5 more ranks, I guess I’ll finish during the last 2-3 days of the season if we don’t get double xp.
