Its official, when even reddit gives your TWAB a fat 0 upvotes its time to reconsider and go back to the drawing board with your "solution". Remember the Anthem reddit creating a boycott because Bioware wouldn't listen?
I am smelling the same thing happening to Bungie. Don't just say you are listening to your community. Make a valid change to the problem that doesn't insult our intelligence. Passing the buck for bounty sources doesn't solve the issue. At the very least look at the dawning event and realize how people support the idea that if everything we do in the game is a source of enhancement cores than we can both have a way to have meaningful choices without being forced to never masterwork an item we want to masterwork or have a loadout that doesn't gimp us in all other content like you want it to while gearing up 'again'.

4 RepliesEdited by Slevi: 3/23/2019 8:27:53 AMI dont see any reason for most of you players should be infusing enhancement cores into your armors until youre ready for endgame content. If youre just infusing for the sake of a high level in crucible or public event content, then youre seriously doing it wrong. At the moment, the highest endgame content is Reckoning. But even then, I HIGHLY doubt most of you are willing to farm that game mode for the new guns anyway. So why the rush for high level if you never do the content?

20 RepliesWe have an Investment Team that is not interested in a respectful relationship with this community. They are basically trying to condition us to addictively grind at a "loot game" that doesn' t really have any loot. To accept being rarely and unpredictably rewarded by a game that is unrewarding. To accept a game where our primary feelings when interacting with it are frustration and anger. They telegraphed their intentions. They plan on continuing to undersupply the game with cores. All they are planning on doing is trying to dial DOWN the anger and frustration to the point where they can condition us to accept this as the "new normal". So unless you want to be manipulated in such a fashion.....teach Bungie that this is acceptable....and have them use this as the template to design any future game around. Its time to start talking to them with your play time. Clearly the only thing that Bungie is going to respect at this point are declining player numbers.
-
What they must do is remove Fabled/Legend from every crucible weapon so that all players can play with what they want, how they want.

Just keeping this active. Would like to see two posts concerning the cores issue with over a thousand upvotes.

12 RepliesI was already pretty fatigued with the game, and the annual pass has been a bust for me, seeing Bungie's stance on enhancement core economy has solidified for me that this isn't the game for me any more. It's not about making the game fun anymore, or improving upon what's there, it's about keeping people playing regardless of the fun factor. The players time isn't respected, everything else in the game is already asking you to invest an unnecessary amount of time. Rotating weapons on vendors/rotating nightfalls can make players wait indefinitely for something they're looking for, it can block progress to triumphs/seals. There are so many things that make me not want to play that I just don't anymore. I realized that Destiny hasn't been fun for a while, but that I've just been playing it out of habit. Annual pass was a bust and waste of money. Anthem and The Division 2 are filling the gap for me now.

2 RepliesBungie already gave you their answer. They’re not gunna go back on anything until season 8. If you don’t like the answer, move on. Explain with your wallet.

It's very disappointing how stubborn they are being about this. I'm the very definition of a casual gamer and it's becoming increasingly frustrating. I'm married with 2 kids and a full time job and I'm lucky if I can play more than twice a week with all that's going on. Not to mention that the 2 good friends that I play with, we're all in different time zones so it's not easy to coordinate playing together. All three of us are in the same boat and we are lucky if we can get close to the max power level by the time a season comes to a close, as a result we barely get to play the new high level content before a new season launches. Adding additional chores is only going to slow the process even more. It's frustrating having to hoard my cores to infuse the three weapons that I love playing with (not masterworking them, BTW) and then just running around with whatever armor I've got that's the highest level, perks be damned. Armor perks become meaningless in the enhancement core economy. I'd love to have a great looking set of armor with perks that benefit the way I play that could level up with me without being a pain in the backside. Enjoying my time with friends shooting aliens in the head is what should be "meaningful" about this game. Instead, we are contemplating which game we should switch to.

5 RepliesSad part is it took them 5 or 6 months an this is their solution.
-
The refusal of the Dev team to COMPLETELY REMOVE ENHANCEMENT CORES from INFUSION is a straight up F-YOU to the playerbase. Guess what arseholes, we don’t even use Enhancement Cores for their true purpose of Masterworking items because we have to use them to upgrade weapons and armor so we can use what we want to PLAY A GAME THAT WE PAID FOR THE WAY WE WANT TO PLAY IT!!!!! Check my gaming history Bungie - I have been a dedicated player since D1 launch. If you want to continue to have my business, REMOVE THE GODDAMN CORES FROM INFUSION!!!
-
Holy s--t they've really screwed this haven't they? I think we're about to see a full on revolt. The Reddit page is amazing. People are absolutely pissed.
-
The timeframe alone is unacceptable. It took them 7 hours to implement a solution to the power level issue in Black Armory. It took 7 days to neuter the Prometheus Lens when it was released OP. They couldn't even fix this issue in 7 MONTHS!
-
Forbes did sum It up very well. [quote]I am astonished by this latest move from Bungie. I have never seen an issue so clearly defined by the community and Bungie saying “aha yes we hear you” followed by them doing something that isn’t remotely what anyone has suggested or wanted with no actual explanation for why they’re doing it. It is truly confounding. It’s not about selling Eververse items or Annual Pass content, it’s just digging their heels in for its own sake, which is exactly how it comes across to the community.[/quote]

I'm going play division 2 / anthem while I wait for FFXIV Shadowbringers , cause I am legit tired of giving Bungie second chances to get it right.

5 RepliesI'm in the camp that doesn't have an issue with an enhancement cores now, I've built up enough of a stock that it's not a major issue for me. But... this is one of the most unanimous the community has ever been on an issue and it's weird that bungie aren't even willing to meet the community halfway... or even a quarter of the way... or 5% of the way. There's so many simple solutions to make the economy around obtaining cores a little bit easier. I don't think they should remove them from infusion entirely at this point, but this solution is so weird. And the other thing about this is... I liked scrapper bounties, they were always a nice little surprise now and then. Why get rid of them?

6 RepliesThis enhancement core “issue” people are having has got to be one of the most overblown dramatized issues I’ve seen in the community. Thousands of games require resources to improve something or make it better. Why is this even an issue?

1 ReplyEdited by Apollyon: 3/22/2019 11:43:35 PMWhether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Bungie on Earth. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. The dev team. From what I can gather, they want to completely suck the fun out of the game using masterwork cores. They’re well protected, but with the right support, we can punch through the dev team, take these fun-haters out, and break their grip on Infusion.

3 RepliesEdited by bronze189: 3/22/2019 8:59:59 PMi copied this because it took a bit to type but nonetheless its something i believe people should look at and believe that people need a live service looter shooter game that launches complete i'm gonna say this and im surprised im saying this because i never thought i would see the day. the division 2 launched and is actually good and it seems im not alone. it launched actually finished this time unlike all of these looter shooter games and its campaign despite objective flaws and i would say is no where near the quality of story games like god of war has, the campaign is the best campaign in the looter shooter genre. and i can not emphasize this enough.... IT LAUNCHED COMPLETE! its not a complete mess like the division 1 launch or BOTH destiny launches or the anthem launch. i would recommend for any person who likes strategy looter shooter games to check it out it's beautiful. like honestly it's so beautiful that i have finally in my lifetime seen a live service looter shooter launch that was not abysmally terrible. the only qualm i majorly have with its launch is that its exclusive to epic launcher on PC and the devs even had achievements ready to put on the steam because the devs had no idea the higher ups where going to go exclusive to epic on PC and assumed it was going to be on steam. like seriously it's messed up and i feel sorry for the devs. i recommend to check it out, and we finally have a good competitor to destiny forsaken.

Simple solution add cores to all the bounties in the game and increase the number from 1 to 3 simple. They can do it they just don't want to.
