Continued Enhancement Core and Mod Component Discussion

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.

  • I currently have 371 enhancement cores. They are too easy to get.

      I can see 2 things happening here and neither of them are this company actually communicating with the player base about the cores even though the word "discussion" was mentioned. Nothing personal, but I sometimes wonder why you guys use certain words when they are not being used as they are intended for. Kind of beats the purpose of mentioning them. Far as I know a discussion is a conversation that happens between 2 or more people giving feedback to one another on their own view of things, hearing out what each other has to say and so far Bungie hasn't really done their part. Sure they added some more ways to acquire the cores and some have hundreds of them now. The problem is, they're not as useful as Motes of light were and Motes of light were an actual form of currency, the cores are not. This also stands the question on why is there such a lack of loot in this game to use the cores on if they are so important to keep them in the game. Some think the cores are not an issue but they are when there is nothing to really use them for but only 2 things. Bungie didn't really think ahead when they took a streamers opinion over a million gamers opinion prior to the infusion system being changed. Far as I'm concerned that is flawed logic and unreasonable. Just like D2 and now D3, Bungie hasn't even bothered to ask the player base what they would like to see in the game to get actual feedback from the player base as the didn't with the change of the infusion system. Sorry Bungie, I don't call that having a discussion with anyone making changes and only taking ones person opinion over a million gamers.

      • Remove this shit finally. The Game does need less currencys. It is annoying as -blam!- if you have to grind your shit together at 10 diffrent places/activities. You are making the same mistakes as the Anthem Guys. You should listen to your Playerbase and not Set stones in their way, you should see what others do like Division and lern and adapt. Why is this so hard for Bungie?

        • I think infusing is too easy and should have all non-core costs doubled. Also all scrapper bounties should last no longer than 15 minutes. I believe this change would make them more meaningful. Finally all of Spider's bounties should award an Edge Transit upon completion rather than the current rewards. YouTube is full of "God Roll <insertthinghere>" videos and frankly Edge Transit is under represented.

        • “Get 50 kills with a sidearm” is exactly how i want to get one enhancement core lol just remove them from infusion like everybody has been saying since the day you added it . Find another use for them or just scrap them altogether.

        • Pathetic that after months of vocal disapproval from the community they supposedly "make this game for" they still refuse to budge on an issue. Its even more pathetic that their reason for doing it seems to be nothing other than padding playtime but they dont seem to understand its having the opposite effect. No ones playing longer to get the cores they need, theyve just moved on to games that reward their playtime. Just more of Bungie insulting the intelligence of their community, nbd.

          • mod components: my only real source is ada 1 because can buy them. cores. ive posted before about that. when the bounties are done that drop them, the scapper bounties are more for things i dont want to do much like crucible zone capture (IF i play crucible will always and only be rumble) or strikes (cant enjoy those when everyone else sees it as a race and doesnt let me take time to kill every enemy and explore and enjoy it) PLUS scrapper bounties dont drop much, and when they do are slanted to activities I DONT WANT TO DO, not cache it in which is about all im interested in. so when the spider bounties are done and i bought my 2 cores which is all i can afford with leg shards now used by everything, i stop playing. still maintain shouldnt need cores to infuse a hand gun into another handgun of same color. exotic infusion of legendaries - 3 cores seems a bit much. especially when the next up exotic is no cores iirc.

            • I’m making meaningful decisions not playin this game. I still can’t understand the undermining of the basics for duck sake. Like the third seed of light? That is a great example for intrusive bullshit on my time tied to what would be a normal progression in any other game. Bdf be warned I am a engineer and have been for a damn long time. And I still have to make the customer happy. It’s called a job. If bankruptcy is in the future then so be it.

              • I like the changes made to the system, it’s a great improvement. The increase in bounties that give cores is especially nice. I have an idea, I don’t expect to be heard over all the “[i]remove cores[/i]” posts, but whatever, here it is: I think it would be nice if enhancement cores where dropped after raid encounters, one at a time, it would allow players to grind them out and give even more incentive to play the raids, (not that there isn’t already tons of other incentives), that’s all. If Cosmoz or dmg04 see this, just like the post if you passed on any feedback.

              • Exotic Mods: drop source all Raids / Competitive / Nightfalls / Gambit Prime Pulse Rifle: Counter Balance w/ Back Up Mag Sniper Rifle: Targeting Adjuster w/ Radar Tuner Auto Rifle: Head Seeker w/ Counter Balance Just ideas: but all weapon types would have exclusive double mods and can equip on only Exotic weapons of same type. Exotic Armor Mods: Drop Source same as above Chest Piece: Unflinching Hand Cannon w/ Ordnance Mod Head Piece: Sniper Targeting w/ Super Mod Boot Mod: Mobility Mod w/ Traction With allowing a Mod to have a targeting perk, you could have a Foe Tracer that dropped with Pulse Rifle Targeting, equip the exotic Mod and like it should be, your exotic choice completes your build allowing two weapons to have targeting improvements or Boots with Traction and Weapon Dexterity or two types of flinch protection, depending on your build. Remember these mods should be powerful, you can only equip one and they’re just ideas. Im sure Bungie can have better ones. Mods: all mods able to drop including, Gambit, Raids and Black Armory mods Drop Source: Lost Sector / Public Events / Patrols / Gambit / Gambit Prime / Daily Heroic Missions Masterwork Cores: Drop source: Bounties, Xur 25000 Glimmer. Make Glimmer Great Again!! Eververse: Token Of Cores, Crucible, Gambit, Strikes. 1000 Bright Dust. All players rewarded with a Chance at a core, 250 Bright Dust or........blue shader =) Gambit: Killing an Invader, most primeval damage, or Army of One Gambit Prime, drops when you get a in match synth of any kind Crucible: when you get a gold medal Nightfalls: Every 100k Raids: rewarded to each guardian who doesn’t wipe on a encounter This will reward you for your skill or doing good for your team. Xur: Exotic Catalyst Bounties •weapons and armor• bounties are lore based missions one per week for a whole season Glass Needles: 10 enchantment cores Max Glimmer Increase: Raise max glimmer by 1000: cost 10 Enhancement Cores. Max 200k Sparrow Mods: All Sparrow Perks Available as mods. Rotates every week Skelton Loot: Heroic Strikes and Nightfall: Add 3 of each weapon and Skelton themed armor that can drop with Enhanced Perks Chance for Skelton Key at end of every Strike. And a few exclusive Skelton Exotic Armors You can have the Skelton Perks based of off your team dying but making you stronger fitting the theme.. Mask Of The Dead (Warlock Helmet) Gain a stack of Multi Kill Clip for each member of your Fire team who is Dead, max 3. Reviving a teammate or reloading ends stacks. Bones Of The Afterlife: (Hunter Boots) Standing in a downed teammates orb gives a stack of Rampage one stack every 3 seconds reviving teammate transfers rampage stacks to that player Garb of the Flatliner: (Titan Chest) Standing in downed Guardians Orb Provides an over-shield, and tracks anyone who damages you, Killing a marked target provides super energy and super energy to the guardian you revive. Exotic Armor Catalysts: Drop Source: Crucible, Comp, Raids, Xur Bounties, Lost Sectors, Public Events, Strikes and Nightfalls and certain armors could have lore based missions unique to the armor missions sold by Xur. Every Vendor Updated: With new guns, and enhanced armor Shax Sells Exclusive Comp and quick play Armor and unlocked from 0 to Legend that can drop with Enhanced perks and able to equip glow ornaments D1 Style Factions: with fully updated inventory. Armor Ornaments: Drop Source Each rank increase in Comp 5 total all the way to Legend Quick-play 5 Total all the way to Legend Raids: rotating Challenges Strikes: Skelton Ornaments And, TrIals. Boom everyone would be happy again The idea is to make EVERYTHING unique and have different reasons to play every activity. Right now, Lost Sector, Public Events, Patrols, Flash Points, vendors, are useless. There needs to be more sources of armor with Enhanced Perks, and there needs to be hidden unique loot tucked and hidden in every corner.

                • Personally still don't think the enhancement core thing is an issue and I don't even play that much. I sit on around 30-50 average and I have so many masterworked weapons. I think people just don't really make good choices with infusion is the thing. I mean, what exactly do you need to be at 700 light for nowadays. Let's be honest 690 minimum will get you through everything, just infusing everything to 700 for the sake of it ALL being 700 is ridiculous. The only things I actually insta 700 are armour pieces I get from Eververse. However, seeing as a lot of the community has been so crazy about it for so long I can't say it is not an issue, just not one I think is all that important in the grand scheme of thing. I'm glad Gunsmith bounties are back and hope that it is method that will satisfy the community when it hits.

                      • Hey guys, we here at Bungie have heard you loud and clear and we agree; enhancement cores have become a problem. We don't like where they've taken our game and how they're impacting progression so after many long talks, we've decided to do the only sensible thing to do in this situation - remove infusion from Destiny 2. We want the use of enhancement cores to be a meaningful decision and we feel infusion is overwhelmingly making that decision for you so we're removing this feature. To compensate for the reduced demand on enhancement cores, noncurated gear will no longer dismantle into enhancement cores and Spider will no longer offer them in his bounty rewards but he will still sell them for legendary shards. Also, we are cancelling the plans to give Banshee bounties that reward enhancement cores and just removing scrapper bounties altogether.
