Destiny needs a glimmer sink
As it is, there are some problems:
[b]The glimmer cap is too low[/b] - It's way too easy to hit 25k and stay there.
[b]Glimmer is almost useless[/b] - Upgrading gear takes barely any, I'm sitting on a lot of "turn these into glimmer at the cryptarch" type of items and I can't even use them because I'm always at 25k.
This game needs a [b]glimmer sink[/b]. Glimmer has to be given some value by giving it more use and taking some of it out of the game.
For example, you could let people upgrade their vault with glimmer. Sell 1 glimmer slot for a high amount like 5k or 10k glimmer a pop. Seems steep? Yeah, but now there is some use in getting more glimmer and people would [b]love[/b] to get a bigger vault, especially those who collect shaders/emblems and exotics + other weaponry.
Well here goes, I wonder if anyone will read it.

Edited by Label07: 10/25/2014 12:03:26 AM50k needs to be the new cap. - Ascendant Shards/Energy should be purchasable (for a steep price) - Have a legendary on every refresh with unique random stats spawn on the WeaponSmith purchasable for a HUGE amount of glimmer (20k?) - Same for Cryptarch, legendary every refresh for random slot (20k) - Add Orange ammo synth for 2.5-5k glimmer per each (read another thread for specifics on that) - Materials; spinmetal, helium, etc. all purchasable (will need new vendor for this) Getting tired of doing your thinking for you and not getting paid for it Bungie.

I like to think of those glimmer items for the cryptarch as money I've converted into gold. If I run out, I'll just cash some in. 25k isn't really the cap.

1 ReplyExotic shaders selling for 25,000 glimmer - one new shader available for only one day each week similar to Xur - at least it might force that Eva lady to rotate her stock.
-
Soon as I hit 24k I blow 5-7k on ammo synthesis. Keeps good cycle going and dont ever have to worry bout having them (raid / strike).

1 ReplySpeaker: I could tell you Guardian, of a time when Glimmer were more useful...crickets...
-
3 RepliesThey will never let Glimmer buy vault space. It will be one of first microtransactions. 4 spaces for $10
-
I just use it to buy ammo synthesises
-
I'd pay glimmer for new shaders. Could make them 20k 25k.
-
I think a weapon workbench or "blacksmith" would be incredible. Swap out/ craft weapon / armor mods with pieces you earn.
-
they should at least make it so you can buy a strange coin for like 20k - 25k glimmer, tired of storing banners and network keys in the vault
-
I like this idea. I have only found three uses for glimmer. Ammo packs for raids, engrams to level the cryptarch and buying fusion rifles for a bounty. I welcome any use for glimmer or a increase in the cap.
-
+1 glimmer for bigger vault? Awesome!
-
Think a good idea would be. Cryptarch can sell rare engrams at a price of 3k glimmer.
-
[quote]Destiny needs a glimmer sink[/quote] Idk, I think the Ishtar Sink works ok for me :)
-
or buying 10 rare fusion rifles to fufill the pocket infinity bounty at 2.15k a pop
-
2 RepliesIt's called Ammunition synthesis
-
Buy engrams
-
Trade system and sell more engrams of higher.quality like blue.or.purple and the vault stuff is awesome for mine is almost full and perhaps small decorative parts for armor and weapons
-
Have the cryptarch sell blue engrams. Easy solution to everything
-
1 ReplyMake an npc that sells ascendant materials n other upgrade-materials such as spinmetals, spirit bloom etc etc make them purchasable with both glimmer n faction marks
-
Fruit machine (or do you call them one-armed bandits it the US?). Yeah I know completely rips off Borderlands but its not the first time is it! Or how about that chick selling some new shaders! Wouldn't that be novel.
-
1 ReplySimple solution. Ready for it, A trade system, Glimmer for relic iron etc
-
3 RepliesI don't understand why you don't just buy engrams from Rahool and rank up the Cryptarch rank?
-
Remove the limit. Just remove it. Agreed on vault. Need to add ability to buy marks and additional expanded ammo cap limit (for PvE only).
-
1 ReplyWe need more things to buy, like ship and weapon shaders, more shaders for gear, also upgrades for ur sparrow amd shaders for ur ghost, there is tons of stuff they could have added, but i too have hit the cap over a dozen times, i just use my glimmer to buy engrams from the cryptarch to help level him up.

Make planet specific materials 1k glimmer each There ya go
