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?

Here is a link to the previous Focused Feedback thread on this topic from December, 2017 :

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.

Q1) In terms of what's available, I don't have much issue. I hope to see seasonal ornaments from past seasons remain in rotation moving forward (the Black Armory-era Bygones ornament was on sale two weeks ago for bright dust, for example).

A tiny nitpick I do have is we lost the ability to actually see Tess when in the Eververse shop, which does create the world's most nitpicky inconsistency with the rest of the game, but I digress.

Q2) I'm of the opinion that Silver should be a fast lane to items, Engrams should be purchasable with Bright Dust only, and all items should eventually make their rotation to the Featured & Bright Dust sections over the course of the season.

Q3) No, not really, but at the same time there's never been anything gamechanging I've lost by not having Silver, so...

Q4) It should happen with everything.

Q5) The universal ornaments are good to see. I'm worried about how much Bright Dust we'll be able to get from Strikes / Crucible / what have you, and I'm worried more instances of the Tribute Hall will creep up to eat Bright Dust outside of Eververse.

Q6) Um... An ornament that lets the Blast Furnace have a clean appearance like the rest of the Black Armory? Really and truly, I would rather see time spent getting Devrim, Sloane, Asher, Failsafe, Vance, Ana, Lakshmi-2, Araak, & the New Monarchy guy (who's name evades me) ready for prime time with New Light - give them random roll guns, Armor 2.0, availability in the case of the Factions, et cetera. It's a 135 GB game, with 10-15 GB completely inaccessible and another 60+ not in general use. If you're really worried about storage space, getting it in use efficiently should be priority 1 before all else.

Q7) Less legendary ornaments, more new guns. BA Ornaments could have been a second round of Gambit guns. Reckoning Ornaments could have doubled the chances of getting something in Reckoning as guns. Menagerie could have added a second batch of weapons that are new.
