[quote]Bounties gave you that extra to do when exploring planets, extra exp and had you use different weapons.[/quote]That's literally what orders do, & there's no limit to how many you can do in a day.

Edited by xbroggiex: 1/14/2026 10:14:36 PMOrder system is too generic and so specific destinations will lose purpose if their bounties are removed. I have a feeling the reason not all bounties have been completely removed is because certain triumphs and critical quests requires their completion at certain steps. But if there wasn't that hurdle I guarantee Bungie would've cut them all out. Currently EDZ and Nessus have zero reason to go to them since their bounties were removed. Cosmodrome is just the latest.

[quote]Currently EDZ and Nessus have zero reason to go to them since their bounties were removed.[/quote]The reason is still the exact same. You can complete orders on patrol.
-
Yes but since there is less destination specific stuff why go to the EDZ or Nessus over the Cosmodrome except for a change in scenery? Orders don't even have faction specific objectives so there is even less reason. You could only complete EDZ bounties in the EDZ which gave you a reason to engage with the destination if you wanted to complete those bounties. An extreme example of this would be like making all raid and dungeon loot drop from all activities. Sure you could still get that loot from the raid or dungeon but there is much less reason to specifically engage with it because you can get that stuff anywhere else in the game.

Edited by xbroggiex: 1/15/2026 6:42:48 PMYou are missing the point. Without specific rewards tied to doing specific things they lose purpose. Would most players that still currently play raids still play those raids if all their loot dropped from patrols or every other activity? I doubt it. Same problem the portal has where everything drops the same stuff so individual specific activities don't matter and less liked activities are completely ignored. Without incentive on engaging with specific stuff the game becomes very shallow where there is a lot of variety but zero reason to engage with any of it outside of "wanting to".

[quote]Without specific rewards tied to doing specific things they lose purpose.[/quote]What specific rewards do you think planetary bounties had?

Edited by xbroggiex: 1/16/2026 12:45:49 AMIf you wanted the XP from the EDZ bounties you had to play in the EDZ to complete them. Sure you could get XP anywhere but if you wanted the XP from those EDZ bounties you had to go complete them in the EDZ. Also I would honestly like to see the return of planetary materials as a prominent currency in the game to give more reasons to engage with different destinations and I don't mean like Kepler where they are just only used for that expansion I want the materials to matter to the core game overall. I think they should put those bounties back into the game and the order system should just be the replacement for repeatable bounties and not bounties as a whole. They even took out seasonal challenges which was another incentive to do things in different activities or on different destinations for huge chunks of XP. They think the exotic orders are a suitable replacement for them and they just aren't, seasonal challenges were guaranteed and helped incentive logging in each week to complete them and even if you missed a few weeks it didn't matter because you could catch up on ones you missed during the same season. Exotic orders on the other hand are RNG to get only after completing a legendary order which are already pretty uncommon to get and you need to acquire and complete a total of 30 exotic orders just to reach the 6000 seasonal bright dust limit for them. I also think the 30 BD after that 6000 is kind of a joke tbh considering their requirements.

[quote]If you wanted the XP from the EDZ bounties you had to play in the EDZ to complete them. Sure you could get XP anywhere but if you wanted the XP from those EDZ bounties you had to go complete them in the EDZ.[/quote] So exactly like now with orders.
-
Yeah I remember doing so many orders that only progressed by playing in the EDZ and no-where else.

[quote]Yeah I remember doing so many orders that only progressed by playing in the EDZ and no-where else.[/quote] Huh?
-
Edited by xbroggiex: 1/16/2026 5:03:48 PMThe point being you could only complete EDZ bounties in the EDZ. Other than simply wanting to do orders in the EDZ there is little incentive to go to the destination.
-
[quote]If you wanted the XP from the EDZ bounties you had to play in the EDZ to complete them.[/quote]So if they only rewarded XP, & "without specific rewards tied to doing specific things they lose purpose," does that mean the EDZ bounties had no purpose?
-
Edited by xbroggiex: 1/16/2026 12:58:36 AMNo they did have a purpose, to award XP. If you wanted the XP from those bounties you had to do them in the EDZ they gained no progress anywhere else. They actually used to grant planetary materials as well but because of Bungie we aren't allowed currency depth that isn't something egregiously annoying like unstable cores or something that doesn't reset or have a ridiculously low limit.
-
"because of Bungie"? Do you think Destiny exists on some superluminal plane and Bungie just pokes its finger into the quantum flux and prods the game here and there?
-
[quote]No they did have a purpose, to award XP.[/quote]Are you trolling?

Edited by xbroggiex: 1/16/2026 5:09:52 PMI'll conceed that I mispoke. That I meant that you get a "specific reward" in the sense you get that XP bounty reward for doing the EDZ bounty in the EDZ. It gave the EDZ purpose to be played in other than just wanting to. You could only complete those bounties in the EDZ and no-where else which meant you HAD to play in the EDZ to complete those bounties unlike orders which can be done anywhere. Sure orders give XP just like bounties and can be done anywhere but its the way its framed and implemented that engaging with a specific destination or activity isn't part of it at all that certain locations or activities lose incentive. Why would I go to the EDZ to do orders when they can be done everywhere other than wanting to? The bounties could still exist alongside the order system and they didn't even need to be removed it was ultimately a pointless removal that was an albeit small but still negative to the game.

[quote]Why would I go to the EDZ to do orders when they can be done everywhere other than wanting to?[/quote]Why would you go to the EDZ to do bounties when you could do bounties anywhere else or do pathfinders & seasonal challenges other than wanting to?
-
[quote]Why would you go to the EDZ to do bounties when you could do bounties anywhere else or do pathfinders & seasonal challenges other than wanting to?[/quote] Way to miss the point yet again. Orders give no reason to play in the EDZ at all. At least the bounties had to be completed in the EDZ so if you wanted to complete them you had to play in the EDZ. Sure you could go do bounties and seasonal challenges elsewhere but you know what? They also had to be completed in specific activities or destinations.
-
[quote]so if you wanted to complete them you had to play in the EDZ.[/quote]But [b][i][u]WHY[/u][/i][/b] would someone want to complete them?
-
You are trying to push me into saying "because they want to" when that is still disregarding the point I am making. I am done with this conversation if you are only engaging in bad faith.
-
Lmao directly addressing the point isn't bad faith, but I can understand why you'd wanna run away from your position. Have a good one!
-
There endless meaning there is no finish point. They jus renew. There's not even a "turn in" bit. It's jus automatic. It's like an answering machine. You jus bumble around doing other things & they complete with little urgency. Going to a specific NPC to collect bountys has been part of the game since D1. As I said to someone else, jus cos you don't value that part of the game, it doesn't others feel the same. Some folks like doing a lil loop of the planets, popping some bountys & jus taking it ez while they have a podcast on. I love that after work. Have a beer, put on a new techno mix and when I've run the planets, I switch off & go catch some TV or work on some music. Not everyone wants to play the same way.
-
All they really had to do is just allow you to pick bounties from orbit. So people can go around to all the NPC's if they want to while those that find it boring can just grab them from orbit. They made this possible on the mobile app of all things yet couldn't or more likely wouldn't implement it into the actual game.
-
Lol so you'd be fine with orders if you had to go pick them up from a vendor before completing them?
-
Yes. That's my point. I enjoy going to the NPC vendors. Stacking up the bountys on different planets & using new weapons to complete them. Playing with off meta gear for fun. I really don't get why other folks have such a problem with how I spend my time in the game. Seems narrow minded. I have no interest in grinding invasions for a different colour for the Star Wars knock off, but I certainly wouldn't sneer at folks who do. If that's what you enjoy doing, power to you. I didn't enjoy Renegades but I certainly wouldn't begrudge anyone who did.
