I guess the meltdown today is to call for the return of grimoire cards lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/7j9lcg/return_the_grimoire_points_to_destiny_2/

quote:

Getting grimoire points was one of the reasons to continue to play in the first part. It was a unique parameter that helped to determine not only the level, but also the player's awareness of many game moments.

The way the grimoire is realized now is awful. Half of the players do not even notice that some things have a button to "see the story"

Even adding a separate section to be updated in the menu would be much more convenient. By getting new things you would see progress, and this system would be one of the reasons to keep playing. Bunge, return the grimoire points, give us another reason to return to the game

I had friends that aren't yet 300 and couldn't make it to that before they put the raid up another 30 levels, especially with the game barely being out on the pc and a sale on Black Friday. I think their complaints are justified but whatever I guess.

Up ta somethin'


Would be nice to be able to trade up blue shaders like with mods and transmat effects. Even if it wasn't 3:1 converting an 18 stack of a blue into a six stack of a random purple would be wonderful and get rid of the "I have to get rid of them one at a time" complaint.

Trading up seems neat, but I'd even be happy if there was just a shader storage that had unlimited stack size and enough slots for each shader. I'm an hoarder when it comes to games, let me hang onto stuff, I might need it later. :(

The raid was 270 for normal mode, and if they're that gung-ho about doing prestige content, I seriously don't get why they're not just buying the expansion. (Fake edit: Like, I finished the raid for the first time my second week of playing, having gotten the game during the Black Friday sale myself.)

Like, who are these people that are chomping at the bit for hard mode-style content but don't want new content?

So wait just as a point of clarification, the Prestige Leviathan raid is going down to 300 and the rewards are matching.

The Normal Leviathan raid is staying at 300 and the rewards are going to still be essentially a Luminous/Powerful engram for beating each encounter, right?

A shader "cauldron"/colorforge by either the Ramen Shack or above Tess would be neat to have, sorta like Banshee's Mod Shop.

Approach the Cauldron/Colorforge, and either sacrifice a shader to set it as a Pattern, which you can 'fill up' for copies by dismantling any shader, (common shaders fill less shader-power, while legendaries fill more), or you could just spend a small amount of glimmer/sacrifice any shader to randomize the Pattern you're filling up.

This also inserts an opportunity for EXOTIC SHADERS OBTAINABLE ONLY BY CRAFTING, which would include like I dunno, Day-Glo green, checkered flags, houndstooth.

My spies say that part of the outrage make sense.

From their point of view, it work like this:
"You paid 60$ for Destine 2 then Bungie comes and ask you another 20 dolares after a month playing to continue playing. "

With this pov, the game is asking 80$ for a game that don't seems finished. I think is not a finished game.

I mean, maybe some PC gamers are asking themselves "I am been conned into paying for space citizen? Mercury skybox is only a JPG, are we paying 20$ for a JPG here?"

Edit:
These of us that played Destiny 1 know that is worth it. Usually, with some downs along the path. I think.

Or they should just fund new content with micro like they said they would / like most other good developers do? Hell, imagine they put out most of CoO for free and charged 10$ for the story missions and maybe some cosmetics. They'd probably make just as much money while earning a poo poo ton of good will and avoiding all this poo poo about gating content.

If you finish the merucry story content, you'll be prompted to do some adventures, do those and the vendor on mercury will offer this prophecy item that requires consumables to "fill." Once filled, you turn it into a unique gun, there's like 10 of them.

The prophecy consumables come from a specific sources (ie: one is from public quests, one is from strikes, one is from cruicible, IIRC.) and in two rarities. 10 of the uncommon ones and a bunch of legendary shards can be converted into the rare one.

Other games like Overwatch are getting away with it. There's obviously still people who take umbrage with micro / blind box, but if you tell your audience it's funding future free game updates, and actually deliver on it, a lot more people are suddenly okay or willing to defend it.

Anything would be better then triple dipping full retail, micro blind box AND season pass.
