Time to clean up the currency mess you created, Bungie!
So these are the Currencies/Materials that shipped with Vanilla Destiny (4 months ago):
1.Glimmer
2.Strange Coins
3.Motes of Light
4.Crucible Marks
5.Vanguard Marks
6.Spinmetal/Spirit Bloom/Helium/Relic Iron
7.Hunter/Warlock/Titan clothing
8.Weapon Parts
9.Ascendant Energy/Shards
10.4 Glimmer Buffs (Ether Seeds etc.)
11.Tempered (Iron Banner Buff)
12.Weapon XP buffs (Telemetry)
13.Sparrow Buffs
14.Iron Medallion (Lost IB Matches)
The first DLC alone added this stuff:
1.Exotic Shard
2.Radiant Shard/Energy
3.Runed Core (upgrading the Murmur)
4.Crux of Crota (upgrading to Necorchasm)
5.Vanguard Commendations
6.Crucible Commendations
If HoW keeps up this trend and will be introducing Furry Shards/Energy it`s time to consult a brain plumber. Especially for new Players it has become an utter mess.
Out of the new 6 Mats, 2 are there for gimmicky purposes only (Runed Core/Crux of crota), seriously needed each of these wepaons its own material?
Why is there no Hawkstone or Thornblood or Stutter of Crota to upgrade certain Handcannons? (I´m joking, don`t do it)
Please think this through:
you made a good start by letting us buy materials with Marks, now see to it that the other mats/currencies vet players are drowning in get a reasonable use in this game.
Motes of Light and Ascendante Shards/Energy have no use at all for Players playing your Endgame Content. Make your currencies dealable, like you started to do so with the possibility to exchange Shards/Energies at Eris.
Stop bombarding us with useless ships that not even drop 10 Glimmer when I scrap them and take longer than an Exotic to dismantle!
Why is it that I can`t exchange 10 Ascendante for 1 Radiant Shard?
Why can`t I buy Plasteel Plating when the progress on my Titan simply is blocked because I might have already Raid/Exotic Armor pieces, but can`t level him up because I lack Plasteel?
There are so many issues with this Currency-Creep, not the least that our Vaults are bursting, please come up with some exchange rates, that takes maybe the average time a 30+ Player needs to gain stuff and take that as a thumbrule for a Vendor that lets us exchange stuff.
1 Hour Endgamegameplay:= 5 Radiant Materialy := 15 Ascendant Materials:= 5000 Glimmer := 0.5 Commendations := 1 Mote of Light:= 50 PLasteel/Hadronic/Sapphire
Find a way to let us exchange the Materials/Currencies we have in abundance with something that has actually use for us.
I´m not suggesting that you are making everything buyable with Glimmer alone, but atm it`s really not working for some of us, that have no use for the 10th Commendation, and the 150th Mote. I´m not even suggesting that you make these Deals permanent, maybe Shards/Radiants can only be exchanged on Weekends and There could even be a rotation were this Vendor only has 3 options per day, and a special Offer for male or female Exos/Human/Awoken/Titans/Locks/Hunters only each day, a little bit like Xur, if you will.
[b]TLDR; Make a Vendor that exchanges Materials/Currencies[/b]

They could hire an economist for a week and build themselves a full floating market based on supply and demand with proper exchange rates on all materials based on current quantities in game. Or just reconcile everything back to a glimmer value if they wanted to keep it simple. (PS: this is not the same as player trading, think of it as a forex markets isolated from material goods).

5 Repliesalso, we still dont know why they removed the Exchange from material to crucible/vanguard marks. I still miss this Feature to buy faction stuff without playing PvP 24/7
-
2 RepliesThe main problem is that there is no exchange rate. A Mark is worth x material, so x material should be worth 1 Mark. The vendors should have the ability to sell material and Marks. Ships need to be added into the Economy. Dismantling a ship should give equivalent rewards to the rarity of the ship. An obvious alternative would be to have Engineering or Shipbuilder ranks in the same manner as the Cryptarch ranks. This would also include Sparrows.
-
I agree. I believe there should be some sort of exchange rate between all currencies, e.g. 1000 glimmer for 1 stance coin, 100 motes of light for 1 vanguard commendation, etc...
-
2nd bump. Glimmer. Marks. "Standard" upgrade mats like relic iron, etc. That's it. No more. Everything else serves as a deliberate way to slow progress. Do. Not. Add. To. The. Grind. Please. Thank you.

1 ReplyPlanetside 2 closed beta on PS4. Be there or be square...

They should have just made it take more ascendant materials. This would ensure all rads were still very useful for something.

Edited by Uriyaal: 1/23/2015 8:24:37 PMEasy fix is creating one currency type with a vendor that has all currencies types. Aka you hit the vanguard vendor with marks and commendations trade the for this single commendation. Purchase any other currencies, I say also add loot items like the cryptarcs leveling item. Allows ppl to spend all that pointless be for things they may want or just a chance for some RNG loot.

1 ReplyNow you did it. By complaining about currency, Bungie is going to do its best to ensure 15.2 million more are added with the next *cough* DLC. As a special "Spank You" from the developers, they'll make sure you'll need 19 special items to upgrade each and every path on each and every weapon to instill how important it is you grind your life away. Here's what you should have said: Dear Bungie, Love all the different currency options! They're great to use and give a sense of purpose while I work to improve my weapons all over again! Please be sure to keep up the good work! By doing this, Deej will say "Damn! We gave them something they enjoy! Remove the extra currency on the next major update!"

2 RepliesYou forgot the item to upgrade the husk of the pit.

4 RepliesYou for got Commendations in your list. They're also useless for 30+ people.

4 RepliesEdited by Christortion: 1/23/2015 2:02:16 AMThis is totally to put up a progress wall. People got too much too fast. Think about it... you know it's coming. Oh... you want THAT material? No problem... for just $2.50 you can have all of that one material you'll ever need.
-
Plus there isn't enough space to hold all the shit, what are we gonna do when House of Wolves comes out lol. They should've just had one dominate currency and the other mats values should have an equivalent to the dominate currency!

Bump - 200+ as shards and no ascendant energy :( I need to level up guns!!!!! Can't I exchange shards for energy? Running vog is so boring and I still need to desecrate that lil bitch crota......
-
They (Bungie) have no real plan or idea what they are doing [b]except slow player progression as much as possible. Number 1 priority [/b] It's a disaster. The currency garbage sucks But it slows player progression. So Bungie won't fix or change it....unless it's to add more currencies and slow players down more.... Which they might do if the leak is true and after HoW the next DLC is in September.
-
Yes I never have enough shards or energies ussualy 1-2 shoet
-
Maybe in 10 years we will understand...
-
I Like your post. Most materials we get like spin metal, iron relic, spirit bloom, or helium fragments feel useless most of the time if there is no Rare or higher gear. I wonder why ships can't be dismantled and obtain at least one glimmer. I hope they can fix the currency system soon.
