EDIT: If you vote no to this proposed change, I'd be interested to hear why.
Bounties are quick and dirty, you pick up a stack and blow through them, they're clearly meant to be daily tasks. Five slots is cool, not too much, not too little.
Along come Exotic weapon bounties. Sweet! But they could take days, or weeks, or months, depending on the player trying to complete them. They're designed to be the opposite of instant gratification.
Please PLEASE move them out of the normal bounty slots. I'll get around to them, I promise, but having long term aspirational goals clogging up slots for quick tasks that are meant to be consumed like popcorn is a poor design choice, in my opinion. Would you go to the movies and ask for an extra large bucket of beef stew with butter topping? (If yes, see doctor, ask about cholesterol medication.)
All that space for missions, and nothing much in it...throw those exotics over there.
I'll get to them someday. Don't force me to discard them just so I can do the overlapping dailies in some sort of efficient manner. A lot of bounties overlap, you can work on two or three at a time...slots full of exotics mean that I can't overlap, and that means more time required every day in front of the console to knock out the daily bounties, more time in orbit, more time loading, less time to grind vanguard rep on patrol (or to do whatever a particular player does for fun). I'm fortunate enough to be retired already, so "more hours" are a thing I can afford to invest in the game without any great deal of difficulty, but a lot of your potential long-term players (read: DLC customers) don't have that luxury.
Help us out, Bunige. This isn't about how difficult the exotic bounties are, I just don't want them making the other fun stuff harder to accomplish for no reason.

Please make this happen. I have 4 exotic bounties so I'm trying to do bounties one at a time. I don't always have that kind of time. This is the only real gripe I have.
-
agree

[b]Yes! For the Love of all that is Holy...YES![/b]

I agree, I have to sit with the bounty for Some Good Advise for five days because Agent of the 9 won't be back to sell me the gun frame thing

I put NO! My reasoning for this is simple. The point behind exotic bounties is to be a challenge, but it needs to be in your bounty spot bc if it wasn't then you could in theory have the bounty for every single exotic bounty at the same time. Also keeping it in the Bounty spot makes you strive to try and get it done sooner so that you can clear that bounty spot. I got my exotic bounty and had my exotic weapon (Incentive, exotic shotgun) about 3 hours later.

I can't help but wonder what the "Speaker" has up his sleeve. All too suspicious. i wake up after who knows how long? With a high tech "rubic's cube" Giving me a new life of working my can off for The Speaker and a traveler I haven't met. Got robots trying to kill me. Biped lobster types shooting at me and some alien card dealer with four arms and all with very substantial weaponry. And armor. Why Me. (In the voice of "GHOST") You spent the money for Destiny. That's why. If you had not The carcass I restored you from may have been someone else. Who PO'd all these "critter's"? We got these really cool ships and can fly from one planet to the next. Amazing peace of work. A gaming investment very much worth it. On any console or PC. It will be interesting to see how all this unfolds. the Queen of the reef has vanished. Called in her favors. Got guardians popping like popcorn doing each other in and handling her hit list targeting high ranking officials. All I can do is rank up. Top out my load-outs for what we have to deal with right now. And, there is the Obstacle course VoG. We made it to the last boss and fell short. Still... I am having a blast! :) This Franchise are part of Google maps. Stunning views. This Hunter needs his rest. zzzZZzzzzzz ? zzZZZzzz......

Poor design choice? This whole game is a poor design choice.

I agree with this

Edited by Jarvis T. Smokin: 10/3/2014 2:12:27 PMvery well written, I hope Bungie respond on this, I've seen no response from them at all on this subject

Edited by Seven: 10/3/2014 2:18:53 AMAgreed. Either that and/or increasing the number of bounty slots would also be helpful. I have 2 exotic bounties on my warlock, the first is 2/3 finished(took me a while before I was high enough level/defense to do the nightfall strike part) and they are both taking up practically half of my bounty space but I dont want to get rid of the second :/
-
I've been crying about this since like day 7. I've had a total of 5 exotic bounties. Only finished two so far. Had 4 at one point and playing with one daily bounty slot is god awful.
-
The only problem I see with doing that is people could hoard exotic bounties that way and eventually flood the game with exotics (vault and trade to other characters). Writing this out now it seemed a lot more problematic in my head. I'm totally for moving them though I actually got my first exotic bounty the other day and even though I have four slots is still putting a damper on my dailies.
-
I have had as many as 3 at a time and they take a while for me. The first took over a week to finish. I have had one for 3 weeks now. Plus there are a lot of empty slots in the mission group.
-
Edited by Eluminary: 10/3/2014 2:45:13 AMYeah moving them to missons would be very helpful. I got my 3rd exotic bounty before finishing the 2nd. Which then you only have 3 slots left.
-
I agree. Why do we even have 10 mission spots?
-
+1. This needs to happen. I have three exotics taking up way too much space, leaving almost no room for dailies.
-
I voted no because it's an exotic bounty not an exotic mission. They are supose to take time unlike the dailies.
-
I agree- it actually feels like that is exactly the kind of thing those slots are meant for- I mean, when has there ever been more than one thing over there, yet there are multiple slots...like you said: multipart missions/extended tasks need to be under the missions tab...also, it would be nice to pick up some more of these "mission" type tasks- maybe some prolonged/multipart side missions from factions, vanguards, or vendors- content yet to come mayhaps (or a topic for another post)
