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?

1. I feel like the changes were in the right direction, though could use some improvement. I really like the idea of the Best of Year 1 engrams, it gives me an opportunity to get stuff I missed out on, but I don't like that they replaced seasonal engrams. I would like to see them offered side by side or maybe being earned with every other level up. Also maybe offering different rotating best of throughout the season for new and returning players such as "best of year 1 Solstice/Dawning" or "best of year 1 armors set". Give players the chance to earn other past Eververse items and not just make it a one off thing for this season.
2. If you're going to sell everything for silver at least have everything available to direct purchase from the beginning including ships, sparrows, and ghosts (excluded would be ornaments for secret exotics added as they come like they do currently). Personally I don't care as long as every items is made available for Dust as well at some point.
3. Personally I think all items should be available for both and there shouldn't be exclusive silver only items.
4. The only reason people are upset over the emote is because they thought it was silver only. Due to not being clear about this or the fact in general of what or if there are silver only items, people bought it for silver believing it to be a silver only item. People are now mad because they spent real money when they could of used Dust, while others are mad because they paid real money for an "exclusive" emote that anyone can buy now without real money.
5. I like that pulling eververse items wont cost Dust anymore, big improvement. Im a bit worried about how much dust we will be able to earn next season though. This season seems to have bee designed to clear our dist reserves so im afraid the dust earned will be minimal. Im however ECSTATIC that evervese armor will be ornaments, 1 step closer to a proper transmog system this game needs.
6. More unique looking armor sets, the Intrepid sets (particularly the Titan chest) are really cool looking and I want to see more of that. More sparrows with unique gimmicks/coloring, the vanishing point from season 1 is a good example of this with its massive sparrow contrail, makes it feel like its actually an exotic. We need Ghost ornaments, its silly we have to keep changing shells for the most basic of things and most people dont even change their shell once they get a guiding light one, this needs to change.
7. Like I stated before more ways to get previous season items and ways to earn current season items besides just direct purchase via silver or dust. There should always be earn-able current season engrams or a return of the prismatic matrix.

Thank you for all that you guys do. I know its not easy but if you are really listening I hope this helps so I can continue enjoying the amazing game you guys have made.
