Exotic Class Item

[quote]We've heard your feedback about Exotic Class items loud and clear, so we’ve started making improvements to how they can be acquired. We have some ideas for additional updates to make in the future, but they are still early in development and will take some time to get right. In the meantime, our first source of acquisition outside of the Pale Heart is coming soon, and you can thank a certain weekly vendor for it. With Destiny 2 Update 8.5.0.2, coming on August 20, Xûr’s inventory is getting a small update. The Wildcard offer that featured Ritual Engrams, Exotic Ciphers or Raid Banner will be moved to Xûr's Strange Offers category to make room each week for either an Exotic Class Items or an Exotic Cipher. Exotic Class Items on Xûr will cost 41 Strange Coins and will have random rolls . The only requirement to get them is to have unlocked the regular acquisition path through the Dual Destiny mission for each character. If not offered, the alternative is an Exotic Cipher, which will cost 79 Strange Coins and will be limited to one per account. Xûr will be guaranteed to sell Exotic Class items the first week this category is available on August 23, but every week afterwards he will return to his RNG ways, as his will is not his own.[/quote] Bungie. Great, you're adding an inconsistent way of gaining the exotic class item (probably once per week if being sold by xur - if available). So congratulations on listening to the plethora of feedback from players who have acquired the exotic class item. Tone deaf. That's the only expression I can honestly feedback to you all at Bungie. - You've completely ignored the feedback about drop rates in pale heart chests. - You've completely ignored the feedback about drop rates from Overthrow chests. - You've completely ignored the feedback about the drop rates from the Dual Destiny mission (such as increasing it for the first completion each week if you missed it). - You've completely ignored the feedback about adding it as a reward to pale heart pathfinder completions (for those who have already obtained it). - You've completely ignored the feedback from numerous players about obtaining the class item solo. I mean, if you have plans, feel free to actually share them with the players and the community (subject to change being the caveat obviously). I'll happily retract my statement about Bungie ignoring the plethora of feedback from the community, if in fact, you haven't. Sincerely.

[i]- You've completely ignored the feedback about adding it as a reward to pale heart pathfinder completions (for those who have already obtained it).[/i] Again, you're trying to significantly increase the drops for less effort. The Pale Heart Pathfinder is so easy, I can fill out every node in less than 45 mins, if I skip nodes... 15-20 mins. So that's what you're asking for there. [b]A guaranteed drop from patrol level activities, every 15-20 mins. No.[/b] [i]- You've completely ignored the feedback from numerous players about obtaining the class item solo.[/i] [b]"We have some ideas for additional updates to make in the future, but they are still early in development and will take some time to get right".[/b]

    • WHAT!!! Holy crap, exotic ciphers in the inventory? As a returning player I'm super happy about that because I'm still missing 8 or so exotics from the Monument of Lost light - and getting ciphers is currently a pretty slow and grindy process. Don't care about the exotic class item though, I've unlocked it and have several drops but cant even be bothered to look at them since I never play prismatic.

        I have several ppl to do the mission with and since the dbl drop me and a mate run it at least twice a week. Getting this class item has not been an issue for me personally. Now it’s been out as long as it has its time to let solo players get it. Give them a quest of some sort to do. It’s elitist to hold it back from ppl! My major issue with the class item is how much vault space you need for it. Just make it craftable! If any solos want help getting it then hit me up. You MUST have a mic though.

      • If they had plans to make it solo-unlockable, they'd have said that. So glad they haven't givenin to that garbage.

This is one of the main reasons I will not buy anything from them ever again. [b]This reminds me of how they announced for the first time that gamers will be able to skip the campaign, but what this developer made sure to leave out of that announcement was that you had to pay them money to do it.[/b] So "Bungie" what's the catch here because most know there is always some stupid price to pay when it comes to you making "improvements"?

        • At this point let us craft the exotic class item they should remove the chase for it since it has tons of combinations yet only like 4 usable combinations

        • The "loud and clear" part was really funny. Do they really believe that? Really?

          Okay the last line says that the class items will be available August 23rd, then after it goes back to RNG? Am I reading that right? So this is a one time thing?

          • I wish they also added the class item as an reward for both pathfinders instead of the rubbish they give you atm for completing them Bungie are great and never listening to the people who play their game

          • It might be an unpopular opinion but I like the Dual Destiny mission, I like that the exotic class items have to be earned. New methods and ways to get them is good - once unlocked from the mission and I do agree the drop rates from the Pale Heart should be increased. Anyone need help with the mission - I am down to help, helped a lot of people already.

            • I’m amazed at bungie for ignoring the millions of solo players trying to have their voices heard but will patch guns with “bugs” in less than a day.

              • Agreed. It's mind numbing how incompetent this company is? or has become? I'm relatively new to Destiny 2 still, so for a newcomer coming in right before The Final Shape, it's glaringly obvious why they are struggling right now. They are seriously lacking talented thinkers at the top.

              • It was missleading also.. 'If you unlocked the regular acquisition path' Still avoided confirming or denying if you have to aquired the ITEM first, just the path 😂😂

                • [quote]- You've completely ignored the feedback from numerous players about obtaining the class item solo.[/quote] The mission was never designed to be solo'd. It's meant to be a two player activity. Hence the name [b]Dual[/b] Destiny. Solo players need to either adapt or drop D2 and play single player games. But they'll choose to cry about it some more as per usual. I will agree on Bungie not taking the other feedback points you've mentioned into consideration. I don't mind grinding unless I'm rewarded fairly for it. That doesn't seem to be the case lately. If they can make rerolling perks on the exotic class items more accessible, it'd be appreciated.

                  • You've completely ignored the feedback that this is the "starting improvements to how they can be acquired." They will most likely add more down the road, and you should know by now that Bungie never openly talks about potential changes.
