I guess it depends on execution. Yesterday, we saw a lot of folks saying "Really, another?"

If the timing was a bit different, farther away from Guardian Games (which was a pretty big community event in itself), maybe we would have seen less of this reaction.

Something I want to touch on here: Success isn't whether or not you complete the quest - it's how quickly you complete it.

The point of this step wasn't to challenge the community to complete something, and if they didn't, they wouldn't get something. It was to rally everyone to a single event to kick off "The Lie".

The feedback I'm seeing is as follows:

• Community events are cool, but they feel a bit too frequent at this point in time
• The current community event splits the population between three destinations. Would be nice to focus players more to a single activity or area.
• Players would like to see more rewards that are exclusive to the event, which could drive participation. Whether they be tied to steps or general engagement with the activity, "Exclusive" rewards for stuff like this is key to player excitement.
• The current goals were far too high, which resulted in a lack of visible progress. As such, folks fe...

Yea, it was one of the switches we had so we flipped it. The progress one should be the one that is more impactful.

Thanks for the info, ill send it over to be investigated.

Huh, you sold me. Guess I’ll go for this now.

I love you all

That feature is early in development so we don't have a lot of details to share. Hit me up with what you would prefer and I'll give that feedback.

Here's what I'm seeing in terms of feedback. Can't promise any specific changes for the "needs improvement" section, but I can pass along thoughts to the team.

Winners

• Cosmetic Rewards (Class Items, Ghosts, Shader, Emblems)
• Exotic Reward - Powerful, fun to use, unique in functionality
• Theming - people enjoy the class rivalry, drove hype

Needs improvement

• Scoring metrics - Players want to see different ways to contribute to standings, and would like objectives that don't need to be balanced based on population. Calls scoring metrics into question, feels like event is rigged even if it isn't.
• Event participation - too many bounties, medals too similar to bounties
• Scoring representation (This was our first in-game representation of standings, but it could use some work to better communicate where the teams are)
• Lore - too much on Eververse items (We're already in the process of addressing t...

It's a sustainability thing. We want to pump out weapons and rewards, but we don't want to overburden the team. I've said before, "it's a tricky balancing act" - not only in balancing unique pursuit weapons on top of the slew of weapons for a season or release, but balancing the time of the team. We went from too much to too little, and we hope this solution is a good middle ground. If it's not, we have time to iterate. We have a live game, and can continue to improve season over season.

As a player, I'm excited for this. I might not be earning a specific pursuit gun from each core activity, but that's OK to me. I look back at many of the pinnacle/pursuit weapons that I've earned each season and realize that I don't really use more than one of the three. This way, I get the one pew-pew that I care for, then slap a cosmetic on it if I want to spend the time in strikes earning it.

We just wanted you to know what to expect. We promised both words and graphics and delivered on both.

There isn't any anger here. Just facts.

Fenchurch sends his regards.

Saw some confusion over this quote:

Beginning in Season 12, we will no longer be selling ships, ghost shells, sparrows, or armor ornaments in Eververse that are visually based on themes from Aspirational Activities.

This is in response to feedback on the Red Keep themed cosmetics. There will still be cosmetics in the shop, just not themed to Aspirational Activities.

And still look good doing it.

Trust me, there isn't a single person on the team that would ever think players wanted "less lore"

The delivery method of said lore is what this feedback is about.

Checking back - looks like the team is moving to avoid doing this in the future. May not apply immediately (Season 11), but seasons after that is when you should stop seeing lore on Eververse items. Thanks to all who'd given this feedback previously, and to those who had brought it up again.

In general, I'll reply when I can to let you know feedback is being passed along. Today's a nice day where I can snag some info quickly to pass back to you. I understand "we're listening" is something a few of you love to dunk on, but I hope things like this help you understand that it's not just a placebo.

Tomorrow's TWAB will have info on Eververse and some other reward stories.

See you then.

Thanks for the feedback, all. Folks have eyes on this internally. Will give an update when we can!

Most feedback is not an entirely new thing and probably something we have seen in one form or another before, but I still read it and will share it wider.

Sorry you felt the last two TWABs were PR sh*t talk. We're trying to give a better look ahead into what changes we are making. We'll have more info for you this week.

Sorry I wasn't trying to frame it as a statement about resources, just referring to OP stating they wanted an epic mission where they planted a bomb in the almighty.

I'll share this feedback, thanks!

I'll also share this idea on making only pinnacle drops be frictioned each week as well.
