[2019] The bright dust economy is straight up trash and not only is there a new season, THERES AN EVENT! And I can’t barely obtain anything!

Original Post — Direct link

6 bounties on each character a week is still not enough for me to even get everything i want from this new event. By the time I even have any type of bright dust to try and get more then one item THE EVENT WILL BE OVER. We need to go back to what the bright dust economy was before with being able to dismantle items for dust, this bounty thing JUST DOESNT WORK! Especially for events. That’s just more items I get to miss out on because the bright dust economy is trash now, this is so aggravating BUNGIE, go back to letting us dismantle items for dust. I was able to get everything a few seasons ago before the bright dust update. And I played at a casual leisure pace, now I can barely get my hands on anything and it’s starting to aggravate the hell outta me. I know I can’t be the only one out here man come on guardians.

Note: I swear I coulda seen a “mega thread” (whatever that means) on this but I couldn’t find it so ima just post it here. Hope that’s not an issue.

We added new Bright Dust acquisition sources to the Dawning to let players be able to earn more of the currency and be able to pick up some of their favorite items from the Eververse store.

I will definitely continue to pass on feedback on the Bright Dust economy and that you would like more sources of Bright Dust or to revert back to the old way of accruing Bright Dust by dismantling items.

You know this isn't enough.

Here is what would actually make a difference to players.

Put Silver in the Season Pass ranks as rewards, all of your competitors are doing this. Fortnite, Rocket League, Apex...they all have premium currency in their Battle Pass. Why is Destiny the exception?

We don't need Bright Dust, we need Silver. This would be a huge win for you guys and it would be like throwing a massive bone to the community.

As always thanks for the work you guys do, but please pass this feedback along and consider it. This little thing would go a long way with your players.

I'm not trying to tell you anyone it's enough. Just giving info on what has been done so far and that we will continue to give feedback to the team that players want the Bright Dust economy to be changed. There are a lot of suggestions on how to do that from increasing the yield to lowering the requirements. We'll continue to keep an eye out for suggestions and pass them along.

Adding more guaranteed Bright Dust amounts to every X amount of levels in the season pass would go a long way. Not as level rewards, but say like every 10 levels you get 500 BD and every 100 levels you get 2000 or so.

I'll give this feedback. Thanks.

Feedback: Personally I don't think we should go back to the randomness that the store and bright dust was before, but they definitely need to give us more bright dust for the bounties and maybe more sources. It also doesn't help that as the seasons have gone on things have started to cost more and more dust. They did this very deliberately because they want to push more people into spending more money on the game than the $60-$80 a year that we already spend. They could and should make the bright dust economy way better I shouldn't have to spend more money maybe if I was a free player, but I have spent $60+ every year I shouldn't have to deal with this shit.

I appreciate the feedback. What items are you experiencing consistent Bright Dust cost increases season over season? I'll bring this up with the team. Thanks!

I may have been wrong and the price hasn't been going up, but I do know that I get less of the eververse items. I think what I misconstrued as the price going up is the fact that I don't get most of the items randomly, and with the bright dust I accumulated from breaking down the stuff I didn't like bought the rest. The problem now is I can't accumulate enough bright dust to be able to just outright buy everything. Personally I don't want to go back to the randomly aquire stuff system, but with the current system I am not able to earn enough to out right buy all the stuff. Eververse is just an extremely frustrating experience overall.

Thanks, I wanted to make sure you weren't seeing a significant change in Bright Dust prices season over season.

I'm passing the feedback along on players wanting to earn more Bright Dust easier.

But we are seeing a significant change in BD prices over the seasons. Dont pass on feedback that isnt true.

Can you point out which items you have seen have their Bright Dust costs significantly increase and which seasons you see the increase so I can look into it?

Revision Zero is such a sick weapon

Not the most esthetically pleasing but the sound design of this gun is on another level man! Easily the best sounding gun ever, including the other FPS games I've played.
