My feedback: (on core bounty plans) -changing the cost to glimmer=Good (assuming standard bounty cost range) -daily bounties awarding mod components in addition to a core = Good -Weekly bounties awarding 1 core = not good; seen a few numbers people would prefer, but certainly no less than 3 cores (ideally 5 or more), even with the other rewards mentioned (which are a nice addition) -scrapper bounties should stay, as a bonus reward as they are now Questions: -How many daily bounties would there be? -What kind of tasks will the bounties require? Feedback on Cores in the game: INFUSION: -they do not feel good in infusion, nor do they make infusions feel impactful —as a side effect, I am forced to hold onto higher level gear that would otherwise be used to infuse, causing a inventory space issue (including vault space) —in addition, in order to play how I want (i.e. to have fun/enjoy the game) I have to play below my max level, and mainly only one of my characters (more of a past problem for my Titan, but still stands for my other two characters). MASTERWORKING: -they felt impactful in/when masterworking weapons; choosing which weapon, when or if to reroll the masterwork (when that was a thing) felt like an impactful, important decision —they still feel impactful when masterworking weapons; would be nice to be able to re-roll the masterwork though -they feel nice when masterworking armour, but not impactful —I am unsure if this is due to how armour masterworks work, or due to rarely (if ever) being able to use a full masterworked set of armour. ——this is (likely) a side effect of the cost of masterworking armour —Where are the Exotic armour masterworks? -can we use cores to put kill trackers on non masterwork exotic weapons? Personal notes: A note from/about my Brother: He will not return to this game because of cores; he liked the old masterwork system, and is open to the current masterwork system. However, due to their use in the infusion system, he does not see how he can play the game - long story short, he has little time to play any game during any day, so it’s important to him how he uses it. I’m still playing, and will keep playing for the story and fun game modes (this game does have good ‘game feel’ after all). But I am concerned about cores and their place in the game, as someone who puts a lot of hours in, I’m down to 7-12 cores now (can’t remember exactly as I write), and it’s making it a struggle to play more than just my Titan, and even then I fear getting bored chasing cores. Personally I’d like to see cores removed from infusion, or limited to when you’re infusing Exotic gear to a higher level (I can/could see that feel right, feeding into that exotic power feel), but if they are to stay there needs to be adjustments. The bounties are a good idea (weekly bounties should reward more than 1 core), giving a reliable source of cores, but I would suggest reducing the cost for Armour masterworks (or make them (much) more powerful, or give different effects), and reducing the total cost for weapon masterworks (by at least 3 or 4 cores I think). Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. Edit: fixed a spelling mistake.

It's too bad the numbers don't drop so low you fix this issue. It is amazing how fast things are fixed when the game tilts in the playerbase's favor, but this discussion has been dragged on for months?! Either this is being held back until your September content drops, in hopes you get people to come back and buy more lackluster dlc drips or it's straight incompetence. I've gone from playing 3 gaurdians to 1 now 0. Enhancement cores in the infusion process played a big role, but there are other factors as well. I hope you guys pull your heads out of your asses much sooner rather than later because right now it seems like you barely are taking a peak out of them and digging back in.

DMG 04 Treat the cores like motes of light. Award them on level up. Keep them for infusing. masterwork weapons by [i][b][u]using the weapon[/u][/b][/i]. To masterwork weapon types make the player kill things based on how the weapon is supposed to be used. [i]Snipers[/i]- precision headshots ADS [i]Swords[/i]- have sword fights with knights [i]Shotguns fusions[/i]- get one hit multikills [i]HCs pulse scout [/i]- precision multikills [i]Sidearms[/i] - finish off a low health enemy 10% or less [i]heavy weapons[/i]- multikills I'm sure someone will tweak the idea but I think this should gain some traction. [i]EDIT[/i] please feel free to edit ideas as I do want all weapon types to have a different objective. [i][b][u]this is brain storming[/u][/b][/i] and I do believe this can be a thing.

LMFAO Brain Dead’s !!!!!! Take them out of infusion you idiots !!! Masterwork only !!! It’s like Bungie is filled with people who enjoy people leaving their game . It’s a solution a monkey could come up with !!! Hey it’s not working take them out . Hmmm no no let’s make a stupid weekly bounty thing that will just rub them in players faces for longer getting more to quit playing . #FireAllTheDeadWeight2019

Look many ppl have posted very constructive feedback regrading cores to you guys and it has fell on deft ears. U already know players HATE cores so why mock us by only giving us one damn core for a weekly bounties wtf? I really try to refrain from showing anger in these post but it’s so damn hard wen it seems like u just don’t listen to your own player base Bungie. Now, I’m not saying you guys don’t listen at all because you have been very vocal in the past couple months, but regarding the cores situation; no I don’t think you guys are listening. Leveling in this game is a chore and not very fun, players are dropping everyday because of it. Sure the choice to infuse should be somewhat “meaningful” but damn this ain’t it man. This is not it. 😒

I'm calling it, Bungie is officially in a death spiral. Absolutely no communication with community, decreasing user-base, no significant changes on the horizon, someone find the fork, it's time

Started a new topic: still no discussion there.. just imposing failing solutions..(40 Replies))

How many cores does it take to fully MW 1 weapon then 1 armor?

Let me explain something clearly. There is NO FURTHER DISCUSSION regarding enhancement cores for infusion. Either you remove enhancement cores from infusion, or I will not spend another dime on any bungie product. Actually, I don't think I'll spend a dime even if you did that, because if you remove the idiotic things that people hate from the next title or annual pass, you'll just add it right back in after you get your cash grab. That is how little I trust you to do the right thing.
