It costs too much Opulent Umbral Energy to Focus Weapon
-
2 RepliesConsidering how great the crafted versions of these weapons are, I would say it's justified. It should cost more I think, personally.
-
Definitely agree, the drop rate of red boxes is atrocious for the amount of op umbral energy your using. The focused umbral engram route is way more efficient, which really shouldn't be a thing tbh. Trouble is once you've made 1 or 2 of the weapons getting duplicates is Hella frustrating. I think 15 or even 20 would be fair imo, also have Bungie run some sort of crazy number algorithm to determine the amount you need for your next focus, I mean 27 and 7 what's that about lol.
-
Well it's a two-fold problem. The cost of focusing is too high AND the availability of focusing currency is too low. As usual, it's good content negatively affected by Bungie's stifling economy.
-
Well duh it costs too much. Question is will the big b do anything about it (spoiler alert probably not).
-
It was to force good players to carry bad players in public events.
-
I don’t exactly have a problem with the umbral energy costs. It’s the damn legendary shards. I’ve never been so economically poor than I am currently. Granted I didn’t play for a real long time, but my shard count was under 10 the other day 😂
-
A reduction of Opulent Umbral Energy for Focusing the Weapons or an increment of Opulent Umbral Energy as Reward from the Nightmare Containment would be appreciated.
-
8 RepliesI want to know why they chose 27 for the energy cost. What an awful number. What not 20/25/30?
-
5 RepliesRight. And they need to stop giving me risen umbral energy from playlist activities. Give me this seasons energy or nothing at all.
-
Concur . I made similar post. They need to give us like three timea more umbral energy or cut the cost to 2/ per random weapon (from 7) and 5 per exact weapon from 25
-
I don't think the cost needs to go down, i think the amount of energy you get from boss chests needs to go up, if it was 14 umbral energy it wouldn't be so bad because it makes the amount of chests you need to farm go down by 1 for weapons and armor.
-
3 runs of containment and 50 legendary shards for one opulent weapon.
-
Or just how to obtain them. They should be rewarded for all activity completions. As it stands I’m at a point where I focus my one red weapon and open my one red weapon chest and that’s it for the week.
-
I said all of last season that deepsight drop rates were the main issue with crafting, not the big scary currencies. But everyone lost their minds when they saw some currency caps, so those got addressed first.
-
2 RepliesLast season was fine, now it's obnoxiously high.
-
2 RepliesPerhaps they could have made it 27 for first weapon guaranteed red and then 10/15 for the rest. But we know bungie is catering for streamers like arrogant Datto
-
You have to be entertained for an entire season, we can't speed it up for you! It is a hamster wheel!
-
It’s like 3 or 4 containment runs for 1 focus and the chance of red box is way too low.
-
Yea I agree. I know Bungie does this to increase grind time but honestly it’s done the reverse. I know so many people who were so excited to craft opulent weapons and almost all of them got tired of the monotonous grind that comes with needing so much energy so they just stopped playing
-
1 ReplyAgreed. Id play the seasonal activity occasionally regardless, but if i want to focus for a [i]chance[/i] at deepsight weapons, the amount of activities id have to do is way more than i have time for. I think 10-15 energy instead of 27 is reasonable.
-
Just don't focus a specific weapon the engram worked for 3 out of 4 opulent weapons crafted 1 is 27 the other costs 7 I would only go for a specific if your on you last 1
-
3 RepliesIt takes 10 Opulent for a weapon focus, last I checked. With the upgrade, I get 3 per containment run. So, 4 runs for a weapon focus. The only reason it feels like it takes much longer is because this season, Bungie didn't want players abandoning the world-based "Escalation Protocol" so they didn't put an upgrade to get Opulent Energy in other game modes - so players have to play Containment and there is more chance it always has people to run it (at least they let you get full credit even if you fail every containment tier and doesn't reset).
-
The weapons are definitely worth the grind too!
-
5 RepliesDon't focus the weapon you get more red frames from the random engram thats much cheaper. Honestly I've got all the weapons now crafted as I took 10 engrams at a time and would end up with at least 3 red frames.
-
The high focus is there to motivate you into crafting your godroll. Chances are you, you will pick up patterns anyway to lessen the craft cost down the line. I can understand if you badly want to craft an austringer now, but many of us are taking this season very relaxed. Ill just log in Tuesday reset for the free pattern. We have 3+ months of this.
