Cant we just transmat the cookies wherever they need to go. Its incredibly tedious and annoying hand delivering them everywhere. Makes an already lame event even more boring.

I gave out a ton of gifts and got all the upgrades,I didn’t get a single drop of dawning loot. Game is absolutely washed.

They lost me after not doing the right thing with this seasons event card after mistakenly giving it away for free to some but then charging anyone else to have it. It’s not about the card or items in it. It’s about how low they’ve sunk to make a buck at all costs. Treyarch made a similar mistake with their Call of Duty BO6 holiday event. They accidentally gave many players all of the resources needed to immediately unlock all items without playing. They did the right thing and unlocked all rewards for everyone - in keeping with the holiday spirit. Granted the event was free….but they allowed everyone to have all the unlocks - if you played or not. Many folks would likely have not unlocked them and now will have - free to play has much as they want or not at all. The gift of appreciation and time is priceless. I’ve spent more in the COD store during BO6 alone than I have ever spent during the life of Destiny’s Eververse store. Not hard to do the right thing.

My cat is obnoxious too, occasionally. Well, more than occasionally. Come to think of it, she's a total s...head a lot of the time. But she is so adorable as she knocks my stuff on the floor, and has the sweetest meow, and what are we talking about again? Oh yeah, the Dawning. The lesson is to spend more time playing with your cat, or dog, or hamster. It will be a more rewarding and at least 55.07% less obnoxious way to spend your time.

The Dawning is the absolute pits as far as Destiny is concerned. It's basically Bungie saying we can't be arsed doing anything so eat up this usual pile of shite The seasons format has been a total failure from day one...but then again, making content is hard ...but then again theres a thing called taking the piss.

Just bake all week and deliver at the end when you have a lot of them. They stack. You don’t have to go there for every single bounty before getting another.
-
just skip the event honestly better things to do in other games bungie needs to COMPETE for your time, not treat it like garbage to be expended for their metrics
-
Hand delivery is the "catch". It's a huge time sink. They know this. This event should be FUN. It's a holiday event, the biggest holiday of the year in fact. It should NOT be the grind that it is. After all these years.
-
wow. you haven't even noticed bungie greasing the bearing on that hamster wheel yet have you? lol

I forgot the Dawning existed after the 3rd day 🤷♂️ -
I stopped playing Dawning like 4 years ago. No way I would spend my time doing chores like that.

Edited by shwabbywabby: 12/24/2024 10:23:57 AMThis is the first year I’ve actually baked some cookies and it’s going to be my last. I spend more time going from destination to destination delivering them than actually playing the game. No thanks.
-
How about just don’t deliver cookies to vendors that aren’t in the tower😐

Hey Bungie , I know how you can make a ton of profit Require ship fuel to travel to a destination And where do players aquire said ship fuel, you may ask ? Why eververse of course, for 100 silver per flight -
The Dawning is one of my favorite events! If you find it “obnoxious” then don’t participate. It’s not mandatory.🤷♀️

Outside of delivering the mandatory ones from the initial quest, I usually go to either Zavala or Banshee and stand there baking their cookies.. The other option is bake cookies for Eva since it requires no traveling what-so-ever as the cookies can be delivered directly from the Directory ~ Eververse tab. IMHO - the only cookie that was a pain in the -blam!- to deliver was the one year when there was one for Riven. Talk about being obnoxious..
-
That's why I only bother with Vendors in the Tower.
-
I used to only make them for Tess, because you used to be able to give them to her by going to the store in the director anywhere you were. Now that only works when you are in the tower physically. Now I only make them for Tess or Eva when I am in the tower ready to focus... It still feels REALLY unrewarding, the drop rate on packages in return is horrible and not worth the time sink... I feel like it used to be 1 of every 2 or 3 cookies had a gift returned, now its 1 in 6 at best.
-
are you baking them and deliverying them 1 at at time? like bake deliver, bake deliver....
-
You know what else is obnoxious!!! [spoiler]Hangnails…[/spoiler]

Clear out 20 spaces in your inventory. Grab the repeatable bounties and bake the 5 treats they ask for. Stack them all week until you run out of resources and when Xur is available turn them into their respective vendor. That way you get the 1 strange coin for each one and can spend them on the weekend. You make one trip to every vendor and by the time you are done you will probably end up with 30-40 gifts in return. LLS give 19-20 Essence of Dawning. The Pale Heart aren't worth doing they suck and take too much time. Other planets are much better.
-
The “hand delivered” part is what makes the cookie special lol.
-
This mechanic replicates the reality of the holiday as you beat the path rarely trodden to interact with the distant acquaintance you probably haven't seen since about 12 months ago. ;) Slots into the Bungie grind strategy seamlessly.

keep the people in the game, my guy!
