Unstable core economy.

Bungie can you please stop avoiding the obvious issue with the unstable core economy the costs are crazy. This current economy has made playing multiple classes extremely unfun. Yet twid after twid its not even mentioned just crickets on Bungies end. Hey look its the plague lands. No one cared! Hey look at the epic raid... No one cared! Stop insulting the player base please. Its time to start saying more. No one likes the new unstable core system its crazy Please make it make sense. Stop pretending that this is not an issue. Its just not worth the hassle at the moment.

  • It is beyond ridiculous. Yesterday I tried for half an hour to put a build together for one of the Master conquests. Can’t use exotics that are not featured, now I have to make entirely new builds. I’m only level 400 (max.) and the infusion costs are as high as 5k cores. I have like 200. Dismantling something gives me like 200-400. So I have to dismantle between 10 and 20 items to be able to upgrade ONE. [b]Ended up not doing the conquest. [/b] The dumbest system I have ever seen. They are pushing their “strategies” into such absurd dimensions that ultimately people are just locked out of playing the game - which they have paid for!!! HOT TIP, BUNGIE!!! Next expansion should come with the following disclaimer: [b]BY PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT YOU DON’T GET ACCESS TO IT BUT YOU GET THE CHANCE TO INVEST 5-8 HOURS A DAY IN ORDER TO MAYBE ONE DAY ACCESS EVERYTHING BEFORE WE SUNSET ALL YOUR STUFF AND RESTART THE CYCLE. [/b]

    • Imagine replacing upgrade modules that worked just fine with this

    • Yeah I agree I brought two of my characters up together and now I want to rank up my warlock and its 13k+ of unstable cores for each item to 450 from 417. Yeah the unstable cores system is garbage and I was watching chablo on YouTube and its 22k cores for him to bring something to 520 from 200. The unstable cores system was a stupid mistake and everyone in the community knows this but yet the Devs at destiny dont give a -blam!-. Instead they tell us unstable cores will be transferred to the next dlc, and we will remain at 550 when it changes and most people dont want to go to 550 so why does it akkes any sense. If they realized they were making the community hat ethem they still dont care because they got our money and dont care about making a more balanced game, just lining their pockets before destiny truly dies as an mmo

    • Just typical Bungo, can't hear anything until the player base is screaming then maybe they can decide to fix it, this has been going on since EOF launched and they have done nothing for us. The weekly reward should be at least 100 times current levels. Not everone is playing 24/7.

      • It’s really bad when it costs 12000 cores to level a saved exotic up and you only get 50 cores for leveling up in the season pass lol it should be 50k in the season pass for a level at minimum if that’s going to be the cost.

        Please help me understandimg. I assume everyone is running new armour cause it has way better stats than the old armour except for exotics. I see a lot of players running new weapons as well, exotics again the exception. Personally I still use predominantly old weapons though I swim in new ones. Bottom line I am upgrading new armour with same new armour which is glimmer only. New weapons the same. Hence unstable cores I require for upgrading old exotics and old weapons and I get enough unstable cores by dismantling unwanted/bad rolls resp rolls sitting at/below PL. I admit I completely stopped playing my other two characters but less to a lack of upgrade materials than I can't be bothered to run three characters through the repetitive PL grind. Aside from being tempted to upgrade a whole vault to current levels - which I don't/won't do - I don't see an issue with the availability of materials at least with regards to glimmer and unstable cores. Ascendant shards are a constraint with regards to upgrading armour - 3 for tier 5s - and most likely everyone not having farmed enhancement cores will run short on them quickly. Long story short, ascendant shards and enhancement cores are Imho the current limiting factor.

        • Once you get a little higher light level, it flips the other way. I have a few hundred thousand of them and I don’t play a ton.

          • This is the most important issue in the game. In my opinion.

            • Yeah and they give you 25 cores and 50 core on the weekly rank rewards….useless you get 5!times that amount deleting useless gear. Also why does the hunter frosted retinue ornament in eververse look the aftermath of a bukkake party?

              • Yes indeed, I find this fact hurtful to the casual player base, leaning towards the degenerates that farm to 550 Power Level. I think that they all should personally look at themselves in the mirror and end their problems for good!

              • The Destiny economy in general needs a serious overhaul. Unstable cores are just one piece of the costs to upgrade. Maybe also focus on fixing the exchange at our local cryptarch. And maybe fixing the ghost mods while they are at it. Glimmer rains from the sky now but few things require it. I agree it is a major problem.
