Got in one last Dark Below story mission to hear Dinklebot wake the hive, and that seems as good a swansong for year one as I could have. I think the first thing I'll do post patch is wake the hive with Nolandroid.
I understand the supply and demand mentality, I just don't think it works well for designing the end game rewards. Again, what percentage of people is low enough for the supply be Lee enough/demand high enough to display the reward? Now, are you really going to create an end game activity designed for that few of people to complete? I don't think that would be very good game design.
There's still good supply/demand stuff locked behind RNG such as Revenant, and it works fine there.
Hah, you beat me: I'll only be getting one + Thorn.I'll theoretically be getting all the HoW exotic weapons for free by virtue of lassitude... lol. Hey why not.
I think you have to buy TKK to get this so probably next week.
I can get behind this but how do you reward it? Number of completions? Then you'll create the farming mindset people don't like. VIP in the fireteam? Then you get people fighting over kill stealing and such (I personally hate the co-op games that do this, if a game is co-op I don't want to feel like I'm competing against my teammate).And that's a good thing! It promotes a community that helps. But someone like Drizz who gets 100 people their Skolas emblem should perhaps have a badge of his own to mark his feat no? Or guys who take people to Mercury all weekend long, every weekend - some for the fame and donations, others in anonymity just to help out - shouldn't they have a token to display the skill and dedication this requires?
The Purifier Robes are not that good, I tired in PvP for Trials and PvE in Nightfall. It's too situational. The Blinding area of affect only affects the location of your Rebirth.
The blinding affect does not follow your movement while you are in Radiance from Rebirth.
It is no Saint-14
So there isn't going to be an "unlock patch" next week right? TTK is just going live at 5am est reset time? The reset is the unlock?
In PvE it allows you to self-revive even in shitty situations when swarmed by enemies and not get meleed to low health or death during resurrection animation, which is nice.
Probably gonna be like a 1mb patch or something and then BAM Taken King.
Oh, I also have like 5 other Exotic bounties that'll get completed as well XDHah, you beat me: I'll only be getting one + Thorn.
Had that Thorn bounty at the PVP stage like ever since November... I'm really good at procrastinating.![]()

So I want to see if I'm understanding this correctly. After the 2.0 hits, the new leveling system will be in play.
That would mean that we would have to actually grind XP to get our level up past 20, right? For those of us that are resetting or have gear sitting in the vault for a specific class, no longer have the luxury of insta-max level by equipping a few pieces of gear?
another negative is that Shaders don't change its color and it is just plain white.
Only Voidfang Vestiments allows it to change colors with the shaders.

sure, but then the activity can't be something like Skolas because people need that for etheric light and cores (at first) and Ciphers. Can't be something like Trials because people need that for good elemental primaries (why are elemental primaries a PVP reward? Discussion for another day).If it's just a cosmetic item, then sure, why not?
I would love an emblem for having a maxed out Grimoire. I would love to see emblems for Flawless Raiders or Platinum (1000/1000 gamerscore) trophies.
All of these specialties are very much high end player stuff that I think should be recognized and rewarded.
Sometimes you wanna show off a little and stand in the tower sporting your new fancy item.
When Trials first came out, and you played a round of Control against 6 perfection emblems, you knew you were in for some shit.
Now, if the same scenario happened, you wouldn't think as much of it.
I am 100% in favor of rewarding players who go to certain extremes, as long as the rewards are mostly cosmetic.
Gotcha! Thanks DekuCorrect. Level cap will be 34 until 9/15 but you need to grind EXP all the way to level 34 after 2.0 patch hits. No more insta leveling from 20-34.
I want to make an exo female Hunter.Correct. Why are you rerolling your character though?
50 Skolas clears where 1 or more members of the Fireteam are doing it for the first time. If it incites farming it'll be "PLZ MORE NEWBIES COME WITH ME" which isn't a bad thingI can get behind this but how do you reward it? Number of completions?

Just got to figure out a good way to recognize those players.
Absolutely correct. If you do not want to fully reset your progress to base and level from 1-40, do not "reset".So I want to see if I'm understanding this correctly. After the 2.0 hits, the new leveling system will be in play.

50 Mercury flawless passages where 1 or more members of the Fireteam have never been there.
VoG HM / CE HM flawless (separate emblems)
That kind of thing. A designer could come up with better stuff. Just saying there should be tokens of merit for those who are extra skilled, dedicated or helpful.
Zoba are you still looking for 2.0 titles?

The level requirements for existing Year One gear, even without the Light-level factor, is currently a mystery to me. They may require level 20 to equip, be equippable from the very beginning, require level 30 to equip, level 34, or something even weirder.
There is a nf today? I thought we wernt getting any weeklies this week.
I dont understand why we can't even rotate our characters when creating them. You'd think that's pretty basic stuff you'd want in the game. Maybe memory limitations? Who knows...Bungie should really put a Sex-Race-Face change machine in the tower... make it expensive but still they should do it.

Hell, rule of thumb is that if you see a flawless emblem in Trials now, they were carried or are not very good. I'd say it holds up in 3/4 of the times you see it.If it's just a cosmetic item, then sure, why not?

Grimoire/trophy related cosmetics sounds solid.

My final year one Nightfall. This reward screen is borderline poetic.

I was remote playing from work and kept on dropping connection, so that's my excuse for the terrible performance. Gjallarhorn literally joined after Phogoth was already dead.

Apparently people who don't have JOBS luck out and get to claim all of my Celestial Nighthawks while I'm stuck here like some kind of chump :'( :'( :'(There is a nf today? I thought we wernt getting any weeklies this week.

Having PVE rewards in trials was a genius idea by Bungie, it really brought trials to the forefront.
But it also excludes an even larger portion of the player base from getting those items.
I agree. They added that in on the last update, iirc. Maybe they just haven't gotten around to it...orShouldn't be when considering we can freely spin our gear around in preview now.
