I maintain lack of an endgame is everything wrong with Eververse. I'm seeing now there's deeper issues with microtransaction implementation in cases, for sure, but a Destiny 2 that played like Destiny 1 wouldn't be getting this heat. Few would care. Not to say it would be good for the game, I just don't see how this exact iteration of Eververse would be a problem in any way if D2 played the way everyone wanted on release.
Putting everything in Eververse into the loot pool would help. Like the Vex armor, which can drop as armor with current light, but have it in the shop as 10 light too. Have options to directly buy stuff for silver AND dust. Also have a substantial endgame.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

You are Destiny.

I could be wrong, but I think it was Taken King onward that got us new screens/title music.

Item types put into the loot pool, yes. Which Faction Rally will be addressing in the next go with Ghosts and Sparrows, I believe. Merely a start, but it is one. Great ideas here, and infinitely more productive than anything close to getting rid of the store.

poo poo, is Trials going now? I don't even know.

It's still going, Trials runs from Friday until the reset. Purpose drops from a Trials engram you get from the lady at the Spire. Cards with 3 & 5 wins get you an engram that can drop Trials weapons or Armor. A Card with 7 wins gets you a choice of 3 Trials weapons, but Purpose isn't in that choice this weekend. Getting a Flawless card gets you a choice of 2 armor pieces. You also get 4 tokens for each Trials win along with additional tokens for each Challenge you complete, so by the time we are finished with a single Trials run I usually have enough tokens for 2 additional Engrams.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone.

Wtf is this???

There is a sanctity to human life, you psycho, an abstract Harry Potter magical loving quality that makes us above the reproach of having to live in accordance with the entirety of the observable universe, from dealing with the categorical fact that humans are weak meat and we shouldn't be allowed to gently caress ourselves to extinction from ten thousand sources just because me wanna cum.

How the gently caress dare you. You're sick.

I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.

But also yeah I'd love a bunch of weapons that were explicitly designed to be fun in a videogame that remembers that fun is the ultimate goal of videogames, but instead we got the D2 spreadsheet meta

The Gears of War and Ratchet & Clank games were really good at this, creating unusual weapons that you wouldn't see in other games. It's disappointing that Destiny, with all of its potential, just relies on a lot of standard weaponry that you'd see in a COD game.

I wish Bungie would spice the game up and make it so that current exotics are legendary and then introduce some exotic gear that actually significantly impacts playstyle. The current exotics aren't very exotic, their perks are really weak and should be the kind of thing you find on legendary gear instead.
