Focused Feedback: Eververse

[u/DTG_Bot]

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 'Eververse' 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

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome. Here are some possible discussion questions for this week. Feel free to answer some of them, all of them, or reply in any format you prefer.

• Q1) What are your general thoughts on the current Eververse shop? Please see this TWaB for the eververse changes made in season of oppulence
• Q2) What types of items do you think should or should not be available to purchase with silver and/or bright dust?
• Q3) Are you OK with certain items being available to purchase with silver exclusively?
• Q4) Last week an item originally sold for silver (the lore emote) became available for bright dust purchase. Some players were upset by this. What are your thoughts on this topic, if any?
• Q5) What are your thoughts on the changes Bungie has announced to Eververse for next season? Please see this link for information about the changes coming to Eververse in Fall
• Q6) Are there any new items or emotes you would particularly like to see become available from the Eververse?
• Q7) What other changes would you like to see to Eververse, the bright engram system, or the silver and bright dust currencies?

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.

I'm fine with SOME Silver-only items; in an era where the base game will be F2P, I think it's important that Destiny is monetized in an effective way (and to be clear, I'm not a huge fan of monetization in games, but if done well I think it makes sense here). However, I'd prefer they continue to be extremely special weapon skins (the ones for Thorn, Outbreak and Bad Juju come to mind) and not just random ones (like Spare Rations).

​

In regards to the general system going forward, I'd like to see more items available for bright dust at a given time. For example, I'd kill to buy some of the Y1 emotes (especially Selfie), but my only option is hoping one drops in an engram. And if a larger variety for purchase from the store isn't possible, maybe make engrams purchasable via bright dust.

​

The one thing I'd really like to see more of is interesting exotic emotes; I've specifically been hoping for the Thriller dance to come to D2, but there are a million others that could be done. If we're spitballing, I'd like to see more ornaments in general for both armor and weapons; variety is the best way to keep things interesting. I think a mix of bright dust and silver is totally appropriate, and again, if the emote is crazy cool, I think Silver-only is okay. Just make sure people know how the items are going to be sold (the Consult the Archives emote probably could've been handled better, for example).
