TLDR: Enough challenges should be doable In the last week or few days to get the pile, missing a certain week or 2 shouldnt use your outs to trash challenges and hard challenges are fine but shouldn't require hours like getting the gambit ornament. Also give more dust.
IMO seasonal challenges should not require more than a few hours of effort to complete. Having to get all 3 seasonal ornaments for the pursuit weapon is not fun atleast when it comes to gambit. Also missing a week or 2 shouldn't prevent you from getting the pile without doing unsavory challenges especially when the rewards arent worth and the season has a bunch of dead time. 66/69 (nice) challenges gets you the pile but more than 3 challenges were missable this season if you missed a week.
Opinionated inprovements: 1)There should be a larger allowance for challenges you don't need for the pile if the required activities rotate weekly like arenas and crucible modes 2) The release order of challenges should make more sense (ie. Don't make me do 6 games of gambit 4 separate times by making a new challenge for it every other week.) 3) Require only 1 ornament for the season weapon as a challenge instead of all 3 or give the ornament at the first 16 if the weapon was gotten by another core vendor already.
4)If a challenge will be missable, notify people of that when they load up their guardian(s) for the week.
5)Reward more than 4000 bright dust
I don't want easier challenges per say but I think there should be more leniency to not have to do tedious ones for the pile, like those involving +40 plus core activity completions which isn't challenging but just a massive time sink that isn't worth.

2 RepliesIt's a pile of bright dust. Are ghost projections and ships that important to you?

3 RepliesThe seasonal challenges I hate the most are the ones that pop up asking you to do stuff you’ve done probably a 100 times over, but none of it counted until the week the challenge is revealed. Dumb.

2 RepliesAwful lot to read. Please summarise in 1 word.

4 RepliesThe most tedious and bothersome challenges to me are the “squire the [insert seasonal weapon] ornament” challenges. If I reset my crucible rank twice and unlocked the seasonal weapon and the crucible seasonal weapon ornament, I shouldn’t have to then go and “unlock” the seasonal weapon from the damn gambit and vanguard reward track only to have to reset their respective rep ranks damn near twice to then get their ornaments. Absolute horseshit.

You’d be better off running a couple Ubers and just buying Silver than wasting the amount of time needed to complete some of these.

1 ReplyHaving read most of this it is clear that you could have said the exact same thing in one third of the words.

4 RepliesThey are challenges. Not bounties. They dont need changing. They do need to change the ornaments to the first row of the vendors though. Especially gambit.
-
3 RepliesWhy wait for the last week or so to do challenges & then complain about it? We have what like 3 months a season? If you can’t find time within the 3 months then maybe destiny isn’t for you bud.

4 RepliesTLDR: challenges shouldn't be challenges and gimme gimme.

7 RepliesMost of them are Especially the ones that have a player reset a core ranking then start again for a bland ornament for a trash weapon The same bloomin weapon at all three core vendors

They need less of them but worth more xp, not trying to do all that dumb -blam!-

1 ReplyI always used to feel like I had to complete all of them. This season, just didn't bother. Haven't missed out all. A bit of bright dust/XP but that's all.
-
6 RepliesI got all of them but "don't have any team die on Psiops Battlegrounds legendary." The fireteam leader just rage quit..... it's possible, but some players are trash.
-
3 RepliesThey are called “Challenges” for a reason. It almost sounds like you want simple tasks and those are called bounties. Stop complaining because Destiny veterans know that Bungie’s way of fixing things people complain about is to remove them completely and many of us like the large amount of xp given for completing these challenges.

21 RepliesYeah, not reading that wall of text, but I feel like “sounds like a you problem” is an appropriate response.

Previous seasonal weapon ornaments are now for sale in the monument at the tower. The price is a little steep but if you really hate gambit I guess it's a solution next season.

17 RepliesYou don't need to do every challenge. This season you can skip 3 and still get the big bright dust one done. And even then...you really don't need that done. If you don't want to do the challenges...then don't.

5 RepliesPlease tell me how Psiops was selectable last season when it was introduced this season? It rotates daily and you've had PLENTY of time. Risen title will still be earnable as the challenges that grant insight will not be going away until Lightfall.
