5200 silver is kind of insane considering that the entire season they came from, including all the cosmetics and a lot of gear and activities, cost less than 20% of that


Yeah. It's a white-hot topic across the internet right now, with two very loud voices

Camp A: that's too much money, the season was only $10. I wanted to buy these but I won't at this price

Camp B: $10 gave you the opportunity to earn it all, so it's not a fair comparison. Every item is now priced in line with other ornaments, armor sets, etc

Overall sentiment is leaning toward the 'very negative' though. I wouldn't be surprised if Bungie comes out and uh ... "clarifies" ... winky-winky.. that you'll be able to buy it for bright dust in week 6

Worth noting also that the Dead Man's Revenge skin for DMT is also currently available under the 30th anniversary ornaments, which has much clearer iron sights.

Oh yeah, I don't care about the fashion aspect of Destiny either. I think a lot of people are just sensitive to price hikes in 2023, for various reasons. Plus it's an easy bit of A/B testing to see how much the cosmetics costs when they were sold by Bungie ($10) and how much they are now under Sony ($90)

I managed to get an instance with 9 people all working on the public event and got the Almighty title. It sort of cheapens all future titles because I never take that one off.

If you had a party of 6, you could roll the dice on area matchmaking until you had two different fireteams coordinated through a PSN party standing next to each other

That season title should have been “Worthy” though

I'm proud of my Fatebreaker pin, but yeah, that's ridiculous. The idea that you demonstrated mastery of a raid without completely it flawlessly is a farce.

Flawless Crota is very, very achievable at least so if they were going to bring it back this raid should have been it.

I feel like most any raid flawless is achievable, they're just varying flavors of tedious.

"Oops we made a mistake, time to start the whole raid over" just isn't the kind of challenge I like.

They should change all the flawless triumphs (raid and dungeon) to per-encounter, like the elemental ones. Losing a 1.5 hour run becasri you did two flawless encounters and then someone fell off a platform is neither fun nor challenging

It is infact very funny, so funny I'm going to post it from two perspectives!

incase it isn't obvious Bark is being architect'd by teleporting into an asset on the level, killing him instantly, and ending our run

Flawless is an endurance test in and of itself, requiring you to deal with increase in stakes as the encounters keep on going. Riven for instance, requires you to either flawless an extremely difficult encounter, or be able to cheese it perfectly on the first go (not always a given).

VOG flawless seems like it 100% comes down to someone not paying attention at the Gorgons and how resistant to trying to just speed through it everyone gets on rounds two through eight after that
