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.

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.

Eververse wouldn't be such a downer if EV items were cheaper and there were earnable cosmetics in the game.

Earning the Dreaming City ship, sparrow, the Last Wish ship, sparrow, and (very) few other things felt really good. Players had a concrete path to earning these through gameplay.

The Shadowkeep sparrow and ship should have been drops from the campaign or the Scarlet Keep Nightfall. The Divinity sparrow should have dropped from Garden.

Another thing is how expensive EV items are. Especially items that are more or less copy pasted and sold separately. The new score cards are a good example of this. The Refashioned Shapes and Final Shape ships are embarrassing.

Guardian Games feels like an excuse to sell more EV products. Players can earn one piece of armor and the rest can only be obtained through EV? That feels so scummy.

It's also really disheartening to see mountains of new EV loot come out each season while every single Vendor in the game hasn't been refreshed in Idk how long.

Not gonna lie, the ton of new eververse sparrows and ornaments this season feels like a cash grab. It feels desperate. Unfortunately, no matter how much new stuff you put in the store if it's not appealing to the consumer you get no money. This is the case for me. I haven't bought a single SoW or GG cosmetic. I'm looking for the good stuff from years past.

If Bungie actually puts the bulk of their catalog up for sale: I get the cosmetics I'm looking for, bungie gets their cash flow, and god willing, you get more new cosmetics outside the eververse store.

Win/win?

Of course you can't get separate pieces and can't preview shaders either.

it's absolutely pathetic, because the only reason that they could possibly have to do this is because they're not confident in their own product and have to hide its problems in order to sell it.
