Nah, getting an extra 3-4 copies of a good shader from a raid is at least potentially useful, whereas a duplicate Chatterwhite in D1 is useless. Monetization was a part of the conversation (no matter what Luke claims) but there is at least one other side effect.

Tbh the monetisation seems like rebellion against activision who no doubt demanded it be in the game in some sort. Who the gently caress in their right mind would pay for cosmetic engrams when the game shits them out every half hour

I got an exotic sparrow with "increased speed while airborne" which seems pretty useless. Really hoping for that instant summon speed one at some point, I'd never use anything else. But I did shade it so that it looks like a giant, glaringly bright oil spill, until I can find an even more garish color.

I like how they rigged the bright engrams to force you to visit the eververse store regularly. It's the gas station strategy, get you in for something you need and try to convince you that you also need a coke and a candy bar!

Who the gently caress in their right mind would pay for cosmetic engrams when the game shits them out every half hour Is easy to me to think about things that would push people to pay: Gold shader for metallic parts, gray for everything else. Superblack shader. (not really fully black, but very dark ) Sparkles of the traveler shader (spawn floating sparkles around the player) Fire sparkles demonic shader (spawn evil sparks around the player) They just have to make very good appealing shaders that are only available here or are very rare drops. I don't care about the shadersgate. Is a bad thing, and a sliding slope, but I can only care soo much about things like this.

Javes posted:It really is an overblown controversy. Granted, it's a change that offered no benefit to the player and was only made to further their monetization strategy. Actually it's a really good pro-community change that has plenty of player benefits. Think back to RoI. They loosened the loot drops for the final D1 raid which was good because it was easy to gear up with the actual equipment. The problem is, once everyone got their stuff it really depressed the active raid playerbase. What I think they are going for here, and has since been confirmed by the devs, is one use shaders are a purely cosmetic drop resource that will encourage the die hard people to continue raiding and participating in activities but not mess with functional equipment drop rates. On top of that it's extremely pro to be able to individually slot shaders, and this is part of ensuring their scarcity. Finally they can monetize some unique ones to capture a new fairly benign revenue stream. Overall it's an extremely good system and people who complain about it are mongoloids.

Your post-20 levels for bright engrams are still on an exp curve that is steadily increasing, but you can just make more characters  Nightfall this time was tremendously easy and I encourage everybody go and do rat king crew now.

My favorite part about the monetization meltdown is that it was over shaders and not the XP item that makes the game puke exotics at you. Also, Bungie help is calling this scheduled maintenance, like they "scheduled" it just before 2am local time to take place 5 hours later. Also also, this hotfix might be related to The following: Bungo posted:Hello all,

the idea that a raid community would continue to be active solely because they want to get shaders is loving laughable, do you people even think before you spit this poo poo out? the way to keep raids relevant in any appreciable capacity is to make them continue dropping relevant loot, not give you a consumable shader that turns a piece of armor loving white.

There is a temporary buff that grants 3X experience for the first 3 levels/bright engrams each week. There's also the XP boost items that someone in your fireteam may have used without telling you (I don't know if it still pops the "WeekGoku420 gave xXxN00bSt0mperxXx a reputation boost" messages). haveblue fucked around with this message at 17:03 on Sep 12, 2017 |

It wasn't like this in D1, and I don't notice new engrams taking any longer to earn than the last, either. If there is a curve its extremely slight. Same thing with faction rep, except in D1 it actually did get harder and harder to level while in D2 it will take the same number of rep hand-ins every single time.

I don't think you understand PvE players Anyway, how do you make them keep dropping relevant loot but also make them feel rewarding and not like they are keeping poo poo from you? I'll wait. (The answer is high drop rates for functional poo poo, drip drops of cosmetics or fine-tuning stuff. They tried this in wotm with rerolling stats via siva cache keys but it was too easy to get them and that's not an option anymore)

Every shader I even remotely like are in bright engrams, and even I'm not having much of an issue with them. Granted, I'm only using shaders on sparrows and ships right now, since most of my other gear is still disposable until the raid, but I do have enough that if I was happy with my current setup I could shade myself out if I wanted to. It sucks that you can't swap shaders around willy-nilly anymore, but I'd much rather have the option to mix and match anyway.
