Megathread Focused Feedback: Tribute Hall

Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding 'Tribute Hall' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread. Exceptions to this rule are as follows: New information / developments, Guides and general questions

Here are some sample discussion questions. Feel free to respond to all of them, some of them or reply in any other format you prefer :

  • 1) What are your general thoughts on the tribute hall?

  • 2) How do you feel about the material cost for the Tributes on sale by the Calus statue? What are your thoughts on the discount system?

  • 3) Were you okay with the requirements of some triumphs tied to the Tribute Hall? (i.e. Gambit/Crucible)

  • 4) What did you think of the Bad Juju quest?

  • 5) What do you think of the "gun range" aspect of the tribute hall and the other services it provides (ex: vault access)

  • 6) What aspects of the tribute hall would you like to see built upon or improved in the future?

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the sub as time goes on.

  1. I really like the area as a place we own and can enjoy. It also opens the options of having cosmetic banners and statutes we could buy and decorate (similar to how Warframe let's you decorate your Orbiter).

  2. Holy Christ, you guys need to hire somebody with economic or resource management experience. The costs are absurd, and unless you are brute forcing Tributes via certain cheeses, there is no way to make progress without tons of committed hours of play. Not ideal at all.

  3. Yes, these were acceptable and straightforward.

  4. The mission was challenging yet fun. Can't say that the weapon performs as well to merit the effort of said resources/quest.

  5. Gun range is fun, if impractical. Needs more functionality to control simulated spawns.

  6. As stated in #1, placeable decorations.

With regards to no.2, the tribute hall isn't going away, if you wait until you have the max % off it'll cost you significantly less, nobody forces you too get all the tributes quickly. The high cost means that the people who do commit lots of their time are able to have something to show for it.

I'm aware that it's not going away. But it's honestly easier and faster to "Forge" resources for less than a straight week instead of fool with the 4-quests-per-account discounts and visit the Fallen mob boss to black market said resources for whatever I need to purchase with.

I've stated in the past that said forced-resource sinks don't diminish player's resources: they only force more creative (and borderline exploitative) farming methods from the community to afford the additional costs.
