When I buy the shiny new expansion that promises to fix everything wrong with D2 the last thing I want to do is delete 10000 shaders by hand. Not the first thing.

The thing that really confuses me about the shaders is that a consumable system makes sense from a business perspective if you get only a couple of them and then can buy more for real money, but somehow they never really put in the second part. Like Tess will sell 4 shaders a week, but it's just 4 randomly picked ones, it's not like you can really buy the one you wanted to get. I wonder if they planned to put more of an emphasis on buying different shaders but then had to step it back.

I really don't understand having to visit a vendor to delete just five shaders at a time. Like, there are other buttons on the loving controller - can't you just make one delete a shader and another delete a lot of shaders? How hosed is the backend on this game?

They could do it all simple-like but Bungie, as a design philosophy, love convoluted and bad solutions. Their tools are convoluted and bad as well, yes, but this is something they debated in a meeting room for a combined 1500 hours and purposely went with.

Something that kind of got glossed over in that Q&A was the changes to infusions. If I understood him right, weapon infusions are per slot rather than weapon type by default. They made it sound like there's a scaling cost from slot, to weapon type, to duplicate being cheapest. By design this makes Y1 infusions costlier, but probably makes it easier to level up weapons as a whole.

Remember like a decade back when the certification process was a headache for small quick patches and the Call of Duty devs claimed to have a workaround that'd let them tinker with poo poo without necessitating an actual patch? I'm pretty sure that was always some BS that never panned out but lol 2018.

That wasn’t BS. They do that for minor updates like gun balancing.

 My antenna is up on this. Pure speculation but I think it’s very possible. It seems like such a set up question because if I recall, there was no follow-up at all to this and they answered it pretty nonchalantly.

Yeah don't rewrite history here - they intentionally broke Prom Lens into total gutter trash after about one week And they buffed it back to a serviceable state about 3.5 months later

Pull a Strike out of rotation? no problem. Disable a gun so nobody can use it? Easy. Change a gun's damage so it does 10 less? 50mb client patch, gotta go through QA. See ya in a week for a one number change.

Some of them are JSON some of them are XML. Sometimes a gun is hardcoded sometimes it's a float for no reason. Bungie is good at making live operated games.

Wile from the euro clan has put together a spreadsheet with the datamined requirements for the solstice armor upgrades, this might be useful to people so I'll share it here with his permission https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sRzchRMMhMf9QRBFzLf5fbx9xkk9HmOconygXC5TAc0/edit#gid=0 Some of those are really grindy bullshit imo.

PvP  Are arc/solar/void orbs normal orbs generated by supers/guns of that type, or is it something new? I'm not sure if they've ever used the term "arc orb" before. This actually looks pretty easy unless the orb stuff is going to be tedious collecting, which is very possible. Having a month to do it is better than trying to bust stuff out in a week, and a lot of the requirements are just stuff that I do normally.

Then you complete challenges and it ranks them up from blue all the way to masterwork? Is there a good place to read up about how this event will work?
