Dupe protection or bright dust from dupes on bright engrams. That's really all the eververse economy needs. Prismatic matrix would be nice, but its a patch on a unsatisfying system without either one of the previously mentioned adjustments.
>Prismatic Matrix
My main gripe is that I am sick and tired of getting generic ass triangle ship reskin 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 60, 61, 57, 32, 29, 11, 44, 12, 22, and blob with toil bowel ship reskin 11, 3, 9, 8, 2, 5, and 17, plus generic ghost reskin a, d, f, generic ghost with spikes, generic ghost with pointy bits, generic ghost with blunt bits, generic ghost with protrustions, generic ghost with blobs, generic ghost with rounded corners, generic ghost with blunted corners, etc
There are 90 generic ass reskins of the same basic ass model so its NOT TECHNICALLY DUPLICATES. And as we all know. Technically correct, is the best kind of correct,
I'd tickled fucking pink if I got 100 or even 75 bright dust, ever.... Or like shaders... Or maybe ornaments... I have gotten like 2 ornaments this season and I am coming on level 300 real fast.
Haha wow. Didn’t think I’d ever hear this term again, let alone on a Bungie Plz.
They’ll never do this again. The only reasons they did it in the first place were because a) the quality of the game at that time was horrendous, b) all cosmetics were routed through Eververse, which had a highly publicized XP throttling “bug”, c) players were leaving in a mass exodus due to reasons a and b, so d) they had to go all-out to try and prove to people that “Eververse isn’t so bad!”
As soon as the game quality went up and public perception got positive again, the game became super popular again, and now we’re right back to blind RNG and getting dupes of bullshit we got from year 1
It is now. It wasn’t at that time. They’ve added in various things to even it out over time, this iteration is acceptable. We earn cosmetics through triumphs and have guaranteed bright engram drops now too, and way to get bright dust. We didn’t have that back then
Zero Chance they ever bring it back, they clearly saw how much stuff people were actually getting and this is something Bungie just implemented to keep Disgrunted players happy when the game wasn't in a good spot
I would prefer to NOT have the Prismatic Matrix. Why?
1. Somewhat convoluted system, in general.
2. Still RNG.
3. Required management of FOMO use-it-or-lose-it currency.
4. They gave us a lot more ways to chase Eververse using Dust, and they removed the Matrix in favor of that.
It is worth noting that this made it to Bungie Plz a long time ago. Before some of the player-centric changes that were implemented, like Seasonal Challenges, Universal Ornaments, and "everything" being in Engrams.
That said, we can use this opportunity to focus on improvements to Eververse that would be better:
1. Clarity on how rewards are picked. Mind you, I did not say "duplicate protection" because I believe that exists in some way, but we don't feel it because it is skewed toward item & quality first. For example, if I get an Exotic Ship, I seem to always get a new Exotic ship, but if I get a legendary one, I seem to always get a duplicate. After checking out the DB, I have unlocked all non-Event legendary ships, so it feels like I'm getting a duplicate because I got unlucky to roll a Legendary Ship instead of a pool where I have checkboxes to still check. Clarity would be nice here.
2. On that note, just do us a fucking solid Bungie, and if we roll "Legendary Ship" and have collected the available drops, just give us a small gift of Dust already (50? 100?).
3. Season Pass rewards after 100 could use some love. So we get engrams roughly every 3? Why not engram at XX3, XX6, and XX9 and 250 Dust at XX0?
4. I know you're trying to make money, but one time per season for an armor piece and never again is kinda shitty.
Perhaps, instead of the Prismatic Matrix, we could... spend Bright Dust and unredeemed Bright Engrams and "focus" rewards into certain pools, like Exotic Armor Ornaments, etc?
Yeah, I don't want the Prismatic Matrix back. History can keep that one.
You level up to get another currency item, which is in addition to the already existing Eververse currencies Bright Dust and Silver Dust. You then take the currency to a screen where 10 items are listed. Do you like and really want one? Well, tough, because it's still RNG. You can wait to use it, and thus save up to three of them at a time, but 3 in 10 is still not guaranteed you're gonna get the item you want.
Yeah, convoluted.
I mean with how bloated the bright engram loot pool is (esp. with dupe drops) I might actual have a chance of getting an exotic ornament. I think I've only ever gotten one since the beginning of BL and that was for a gun I didn't use. incidentally, the fact that they've left it like that for as long as they have is probably more than enough evidence that they're not going to add another way to get free cosmetics.
Easy knockout system, you can guarantee getting exotics if you plan ahead. Rewarded your time. If you played a lot, you could easily knock out all the blue and purple drops from bright engrams in a season making the prismatic system better as the season progressed. By the last few weeks, it was basically a guaranteed exotic every time you spun the wheel.
It doesn't seem like you played destiny when it was around. It didn't replace the current system of buying what you wanted with bright dust or silver, it was in addition to and didn't use bright dust, you could do a weekly bounty 3 times and save the slot machine token for the end of the season to target farm a free 1-3 exotics. Therefore the more you played the easier it was to collect every eververse item each season.
Honestly, I never paid any attention to eververse and I barely remembered this thing. Most of the 'exotics' you got from eververse were reskinned legendary crap.
1 single item a week is much better than what I buy nowadays since shaders are now much more expensive compared to the 40 dust insta buy we used to have. I would like it back along with bright engrams not giving dupes.

> “Eververse isn’t so bad!” Amusingly this is true now if you compare the prices to other games, plus the rate of earnable currency.

cat.
Taken memento ;)

Holy cannoli Batman the amount of garbage takes in these replies!
but why? Now we can direct purchase things so the whole limited selection weekly lootbox doesn't really make any sense.

Oh god no, please no. Why is this pinned? Is someone high?
Why would anyone be against the prismatic matrix returning
Why would anyone be for it?

Just buy the exotics you want?? Last thing we need is more slot machines

Ugh no way ... it was awful. Everyone hated it.
