A conversation between me and my friend about Masterwork Cores. We both love this game and it's our passion for this game that makes us worry. Please Bungie take your time but fix this. Thanks :) Me: People are mad about the masterwork cores wonder if they will remove it if they do i shall be happy man not sure if they will will see My Friend: nah I doubt they will since they already said they were gonna add masterwork cores to spider bounties no reason to do that if they're just gonna take out the masterwork core requirement Me: but it just won't be enough like i infused my arms for 3 cores only ended up getting a higher level arm 10 mins later My Friend: we don't know how many cores we get from the bounties Me: How many ever it's limited yes ? My Friend: well in the sense that spider only has so many weekly bounties yes Me: that's the big prob When all infusion resources can be earned as long as we are willing to grind why not for cores ? See the big draw with a looter shooter is to look good while playing not simply never infuse until i reach max light My Friend: they're just training us to be wiser with our infusion probably because they're trying to intentionally slow the progression so people take longer to get to max light. and dont complain for new content as quickly thats what we have now though :O super slow progression XD Me: I mean i don't have a prob with slow progression it is fine, as it gives me more reason to play but why can't i wear the armor i want while progressing slowly like i can get repeat gear low gear but if i atleast get to use my fav armor i will have an incentive to play it Now what we have is slow progression and gear i have to wear that I don't like My Friend: i don't get it why cant you wear the armor you want because you have to infuse it? Me: i wanna wear my reverie dawn set every infusion requires 2 cores and 25 baryon boughs so 10 crores for one full set of infsuion but even worse i spend 10 and infuse i get a prime at 5 light levels higher. My Friend: I mean its like I said, they changed the infusion intention with forsaken they expect you to wear whatever gear you get, no matter how it looks, until you get to like 590-600 so that is what we were supposed to save our cores for Me: but the whole point of a looter shooter is gone now. it is to look good while playing it when i reach max light by the end of the season I have less reasons to play and I won't care how my guardian looks then. While i look bad the whole season and not infuse at all ? My Friend: that might just be a difference in perspective lol like sure I want to look good but I don't expect it they wanted to make your choice more meaningful basically they wanted you to only infuse into the sets you like so then its working as intended :P Me: but even that i have spend nearly 100 cores to keep infusing and bring my one favorite armor set up only that i realize i would have been better off had i just not infused at all but i lost 100 cores in the process My Friend: you were supposed to wear whatever high light stuff you got over the course of your leveling and not infuse anything until you got to 590-600 Me: but i spend the bulk of my time playing it underlevelled don't i want to wear the stuff i like My Friend: using up all those cores to carry your gear along was the mistake we all made right everybody does but that is not the way it works any more we were used to infusing everything all the time because it cost nothing, relatively speaking so when they forced us to make choices we don't like it I get what they were going for but don't think they executed it properly Me: yeah all i am saying is i want to play the game the way i like wear the armor i like, punishing me for it ain't fair so people who just didn't care how their guardians looked actually had a better time and saved more. My Friend: yeah not sure what to say lol it is unfair but I just think we may have been playing the game a different way than intended Me: The intended way would be the way we like to play it you can't force people to play one specific way some may not bother while others might not like it My Friend: yeah that is why I said I get what they were going for but they just didnt execute properly Me: Now the bigger problem is the fact that i don't know how they are gonna fix this My Friend its good to make choices more meaningful but not so meaningful that you cant play a certain way that youre used to Me: Exactly My Friend: feel like there should be some balance Me: wonder what that balance would be My Friend: either less expensive armor infusion, in terms of resources, or a reliable but uncapped way to get cores I mean sure I liked the way it was but in a way I think it was too easy Me: Yup I am not against the current infusion system infarct it gave planetary materials a reason to exist but say i want simulation seeds i can go to mercury now and earn as much as i want i can grind for my guy to look good can't say the same for MW. Hope it changes :( My Friend: Cheer up man, I am sure if the community is loud enough they always take note.let's hope for the best :)
