Bungie should keep the festival helmets light after event. I think it would bring some good will towards the players
It's really cool having a helmet that can slot in different armor set bonuses allowing people some flexibility. We had an entire armor set for solstice in addition to the weapons why not keep the helmet. It kind has that niche feeling that artificer armor had. And can save a lot of vault space being able to cover multiple sets. And has the trade-off that you can't use it with builds that use exotic helmets.
It was so nice that on my hunter I never got a t5 helmet before the end of the event this has allowed my hunter to get that extra little stat boost with my solstice set.

1 ReplyThat whole system will probably become necessary for all armor at some point because there will be too many armor sets to realistically keep enough pieces of for different builds. We're basically going back in a circle back to combat style mods but this time its intrinsically tied to a specific item rather than just being a slottable mod. This also becomes a problem with event specific armor sets like Lustrous armor just not being acquirable at all outside of Solstice. As they add more armor sets it'll become harder and harder to get the armor sets you want, but they probably didn't think they'd get such crap about sunsetting 2.0 that they'd have to actually worry about creating a system to manage all the different gear. They'll probably have to do something similar to Division 2 that has activities/zones rotate what specific armor set they drop. That or just have a slottable armor set mod slot.

Edited by Kyrin7: 10/30/2025 9:38:39 PMThe base FOTL helmet ornament can be equipped on other helmets once you unlock the Transmog. So all Bungie needs to do is make the FOTL ornament able to equip mask ornaments and make the actual FOTL helmet able to equip shaders/non-FOTL ornaments. This would give players a reason to get on just for this event. To grind something they can use anytime, rather than only during Halloween. And yes, it would be a big show of goodwill. Unfortunately for us, Bungie isn't aiming for goodwill. What Bungie is aiming for, I couldn't say. Nor they.

That, or bring back the blue flaming skull from Destiny 1 Festival of the Lost as a universal ornament you can acquire from next year's event. I miss that skull.

The studio will be shut down after renegades.

Alters are bugged again I'm sitting at around 65% soft lock now on runs. If they can't fix the soft locks you can't even finish to get a demn helm.

I’ve been asking for this for forever. Why can’t I play as Dominus Ghaul forever. To see cutscenes with DG in new expansion or any activity would make my day everyday. Yes I’m a simpleton. The only positive is it still works in all crucible activities.

It's a guarantee they won't. How do know? My FotL helm is vastly better then any non-festival helm I've found so far. Bungo forbid we have good gear to KEEP and to play the way WE want to!

Edited by Nugget: 10/29/2025 7:49:02 AMBefore the last portal update that affected your rewards they nearly had it. If you’d hit 550 you actually felt powerful in activities, you didn’t need to have all the crap modifiers on a card to get T5 loot and the enemies were capped at 500. Was it perhaps too easy? Probably, but like I’ve mentioned in other posts the conquests should serve as the activity that is set at a fixed difficulty/delta for those players that like to play with a challenge. The fact the game got way more fun post 550 was to me Bungie’s way of tipping their cap to us, a way of saying you’ve surmounted the grind, it may not have been easy or fun but you’ve done it so enjoy. There’s an argument to be made that it’s not healthy for the game being able to run around in ultimate difficulty nuking everything while earning T5 gear like it’s two-a-penny and the old me would’ve agreed BUT given the current state of the game and the fact the player base is on its knees, I mean what are we trying to do here? Inject the fun back into the game and I mean stupid fun, potentially bordering craftening levels of fun, create some good will among the player base and then gradually fade it out to restore balance.

LOL! Good will... Greedy POS leadership wont

They won't. Year after year, they don't.

With all the different armor set bonuses, something like that is probably coming.

1 ReplyTheir designs are cool. I would love to keep them at least as ornaments.

Something like this has to exist in the future or the games customization will start to crumble. We have both more and less control over what we use than ever before. I can create more diverse and creative builds than ever before. But, often not when I would like to. I would need the gear that I want for that beforehand. Which as my deleted weapons can attest to, the percentage of armor I have is steadily increasing, despite many similar pieces being deleted due to lower odds of me wanted that set and those stats to line up.

Yes, it would be a nice touch, but they need to allow us to add ornaments and use shaders on them.
