Arms Week: The Mircotransactioning
Hard to believe i miss the Heavy Metal Event, because at least you made event rank progress from playing matches.
Now its daily and weekly challenges only amd you have to do all of them without fail pretty much. Only way to miss a day is to buy reroll chips for silver or buy ranks for silver.
Just cut out the middle man Bungie and make it silver only for progress, that seems to be your mission. Pay not play all the way.
I understand the need to make money, but the more you push this the less you'll make. You need to pivot hard and fast or the community will turn off the life support that destiny is barely running on

1 ReplyWhat kills me, since I understand they need to make money off the F2P aspect, is that even those of us that bought the DLC have the same amount of microtransaction hell as those that have never given Bungie a dime. I specifically pay to not watch ads, not watch commercials. I paid for content and still get blasted with more microtransactions than I've ever seen every where I go in game.

Re-rolls for silver and Eververse popups in orbit. You're getting a glimpse of what Destiny 3 would have been.

Love how the lack of event xp for the event ranks was now a "bug".

Edited by Shyn: 7/31/2025 3:48:08 PMIt's a waste of energy OP. Like beating a dead horse at this point.

This is the direction they are overtly going in Solstice and other "events" scattered throughout the year will be this. Because they feel they can underdeliver but still derive maximum amounts of earnings.

Played 3 matches, after getting the sprint bug few times and reading news about the microtransaction bullshit, I immediately stopped.

This is from a post I made yesterday, just putting it here so more people notice. -Don't claim your re-roll tokens from the event pass if you already have one in your inventory. There is no warning, no "not enough room" etc. They just DISSAPPEAR! -lost 3 just from claiming the rewards. -When your inventory is full, it doesn't let you take prisms, shards, alloys etc. Why is there no warning Bungie!? Update: Still missing. Not in postmaster or inventory. Update 2: Used the one re-roll token I had a minute ago and it re-rolled it to a task I had already completed, so it didnt count or give me any XP. WTF!?

1 ReplyI can imagine their last board meeting went something like this: Board Director: "Alright guys, time to roll out a new week-long event. Any ideas on what we can do to make it nearly impossible to complete without spending money?" Board Member #1: "Make it so the only way to rank up is through completing the daily challenges, and make it so that completing matches doesn't award rank up progress!" Board Director: "Alright, now the ball's rolling! What else?" Board Member #2: "Only award one reroll token every few ranks, forcing the players to buy silver if they want more! Oh, and make it so the daily challenges only award half a rank per completion." Board Director: "Yes, YES! Keep 'em coming!" Board Member #3: "You know, maybe we could actually focus on making the event enjoyable for the players, without forcing them to spend money? I mean, it would probably entice them into playing future events and bringing in more players." Board Director: *Presses button on table which opens a trapdoor underneath Board Member #3's seat, ejecting him*

normally during most game's holiday events, the event track itself is completed about halfway through the event period if the player plays every day. I highly doubt we'll be able to fully complete all 15 ranks in the event track even after playing every day and completing all event challenges. it's almost blatant disrespect to the players for even trying to participate

If I want heavy metal I’d watch the animated film just for B-17 and Taarna

2 RepliesEdited by Rainingdrip694: 7/31/2025 9:16:53 PMHey, I think its a bug where if you complete all Daily Challenges and the Weekly, it stops you from getting progress from Arms Week: Hardware matches. Just leave 1 Daily incomplete and the matches will count to your progress. I figured it out earlier today. Hope it helps! Edit: Nvm, its fixed!
