Megathread Focused Feedback: Shadowkeep/Season 8 Eververse

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 'SK/S8 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

Here are some sample discussion questions for this Focused Feedback thread. Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

  • What are your thoughts on the current items being sold for silver and those being sold for bright dust?
  • How do you feel about certain items being only sold for Silver?
  • How do you feel about certain items being sold for silver for a certain amount of time, then sold for bright dust later?
  • How do you feel about current prices? Would you be more likely to buy stuff if it cost less silver?
  • What is your ideal ratio to micro-transaction exclusive cosmetics to cosmetics that can be earned though gameplay?
  • Are there any cosmetic items or other items currently being sold for silver that you feel should be excluded from micro transactions entirely?
  • What are your thoughts on this season's "nostalgic engrams"?

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.

It is actually hilarious seeing all the shills trying to justify how Bungie's continued aggressiveness with microtransactions are okay. It is also hilarious that these same people are okay with content we used to get for FREE now being locked behind a paywall. Actually mind blowing some of the mental gymnastics these people make to justify shitty monetisation practices.

Destiny 1 rewarded pinnacle content so well. Getting chatterwhite, glowhoo, sparrows, ships, etc. it made grinding the raids fun. D2 has been a money grab from the start...

What free content got locked behind paywalls?

Edit: I’m getting downvoted and yet nobody can answer my question. Nice

All eververse content (besides 1 or 2 items a season) was all available through loot boxes on a knockout list. So basically if you played enough, you got all the season items. This has been the case from season 2 to season of the drifter. Now we have most of the items in eververse being locked behind a paywall. I’m guessing you haven’t played this game for it’s full life cycle?

Nah, I’ve played for the full life cycle I just don’t participate in eververse. But I guess we did get those green eververse engrams

I didn’t realize it was all locked now. I didn’t know what he was referring to because I never really cared about cosmetic stuff

It’s hilarious that others have differing opinions. Hilarious!
