Thank you for the update Dylan. Sadly, this does not adequately address the entire issue surrounding Cores. They need to be removed from infusion costs. It's a broken system. Simply adding more bounties (think Spider-like bounties) for a time-sink grind is not what I want. Remove cores from Infusion economy costs. Simple as that. It's broken. Remove it. This cannot wait until Season of Opulence. Needs to happen now. Thank you!

Thank you for the update and actually providing something back in this discussion. However bounties we are going to have to spend yet more time wasting just to get a small handful of cores. (it will be less than 7 probably let's be honest). Is not the answer. It never was and never will be. I could write a long and explanitory post about why cores in infusion are bad but at this point you've all had seven months of listening to logical, well reasoned arguments and even suggestions on how to change the system. But at this point I just can't be bothered. So... REMOVE CORES FROM INFUSION. It is LITERALLY that simple.

So out of all the different aspects to focus on, how did you guys decide to focus on infusing to make ‘meaningful ‘ and not any of the many other aspects of the game? Y’all say this is a discussion, you do know that means communication both ways?

You might as well unpin this thread and make it sink cos you're never gonna remove the cores.

Idea for Cores... Add them as purchasable items from Zavala and Shaxx. Use the faction tokens to purchase them. Make it 5 tokens for each core. Gives us a reason to go farm strikes or crucible. Gives us a reason to buy/use the Vanguard/Crucible boons.

Hey, Bungie? Dauntless has beards on player characters. For both genders. For free. Already a superior game to yours in every way.

So how long is this discussion gonna last?

You make some valid points dmg and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but, Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold

How about I'll return to playing destiny 2 when enhancement chores are removed? I want to play my way, not how the Devs dictate. Please note I have 300+ but recognise the impact on people with less game time than me. For the destiny/bungie die hards, please note I've clocked over 5500 hours on the franchise

[quote]Hey all, A few weeks back, we talked about Enhancement Cores coming from Gunsmith bounties in the [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/47706]TWAB[/url]. I wanted to give a quick update on this, as it also involves Mod Components, which have been a topic of discussion as well. Please note- this is all still in development for Season of Opulence, and could change. [quote]• Originally announced in the TWAB, these bounties would cost Gunsmith materials. This has been changed to Glimmer. • There will be multiple daily bounties to complete, each rewarding one enhancement core and two mod components • There will be two weekly bounties to complete. These will each grant one enhancement core, one mod (Weapon or Armor), and other materials or reputation/rank points depending on the objective of the bounty. • Note: When I say rank points, think Valor or Infamy, **not** Glory.[/quote] The team is continuing to evaluate feedback over mod components, enhancement cores, and rewards all up. Thank you for the continued feedback. We'll give you updates as we have them.[/quote] 1) I’m glad someone realized that making it cost weapon parts was horrible and would just cause more issues and stress on the broken system the investment team is forcing. 2) One core is a terrible reward for a weekly bounty. It needs to be multiples or it isn’t worth doing. 3) Enhancement cores need to be removed from infusion. 4) If Enhancement Cores weren’t a part of infusion (Bungies choice) then there wouldn’t have been an incentive for players to exploit the pinnacle weapon bug (Bungies coding mistake) to get cores, and if it wasn’t being forced so hard down players throats then Bungie wouldn’t have needed to suspend rewards for players who earned them (Bungies choice). Just stop forcing the issue, make players happy to be your players instead of resentful.

Remove them from infusion. A weekly bounty which only yields one core is not worth my time. I'm kinda at the point I dont even want to do spider's weekly bounties for cores- especially the ones which have me waiting in location for an hvt to spawn. At least with the bounties which take us into lost sectors we can run in and wreck the boss and leave. Appreciate the update, sincerely I do. But they need to be removed from the infusion cost.

Hence why I’m playing Borderlands and The Division. Way too much grind here for no reward. Or, let me rephrase that, "way too much grind here for no reward, or you may get a reward but it'll be nerf'd soon", so why bother.

April 1st was last week, Bungie. ONE core for a Weekly Bounty? Taking away free bounties that dropped Cores to give us Bounties that COST us resources?? LEAVING CORES IN INFUSION? Wasn't the latest embarrassment over Pinnacle Weapons enough for you? Now players cannot get their hard earned gear, that they rightfully deserve, [i]because others saw a chance to get around this asinine economy of Enhancement Cores and understandably took it![/i] Feeling "meaningful" yet? You would have been receiving praise right now for adding bounties to Banshee-44 to give weapon mods and mod parts. But a positive change lands with a thud because of Enhancement Cores. Cores in infusion needs to go. THIS ISN'T GOING AWAY, GUYS.

Now that you mention it... I made a commercial a while back for "Male Enhancement Cores"

Maybe one day you will learn how to master a simple material economy in a children's video game. https://i.imgur.com/HtOdhaG.jpg

Cores should not be in infusion period, I play a LOT (5000+ hrs in the franchise) and it is just too punishing. I want to be able to run whatever I want without stressing the fact that I NEED to do bounties in order to get cores to progress my gear forward. Add in all the other bounties, pursuits, etc and I will never have time to participatein other activities. That isn't including the fact that you only have 50 spaces to store those things!

This is absolutely ridiculous first you treat us like we dumb and say, “oh it’s the name of the cores that’s causing confusion” now we’re gonna have to waste more time just to get one core. Maybe every paycheck you get should just give you one dollar for all the time you worked. Cores should be used for only master working a weapon or armor, not for infusion. That’s why I’ve drastically decreased the amount of time I play the game cause it’s just meaningless repetitive gameplay

You are not evaluating feedback as your last comment about enhancement cores was on the 10th of April over 1 month ago!!!
