Raise the cap on Prisms and Shards, it is getting annoying when collecting rank updates!!

This is a loot shooter, and when you got too much loot, you have to delete stuff, to be able to grab more loot.... is this really the way it should work, Bungie? Everytime I got prisms or ascendant shards via a rank update, I have to delete some first or upgrade/masterwork some random stuff. It is not even possible to reset your rank, if you cannot grab those items. Please raise the cap here or make them go to postmaster (and also raise the cap there), because the way it is working right now is totally stupid!

  • Yes! And....hear me out....allow us to convert them to their lesser forms! For example: 1 ascendant shard - > 10 prisms 1 prism -> 10 cores

      Bungie: "We hear you loud and clear, we have noticed Prisms and Shards are becoming an increasing painpoint to reset the players vanguard, gambit, trials and crucible ranks, so starting next week we will be removing Prisms and Shards from the respective reward paths, we expect this to make it easier for players to reset their ranks while still obtaining some rewards. We understand that, at first glance, increasing the cap on these resources might look like an easier way to prevent player frustration, however this is not possible. The main reason for this is that the engine wasn't designed around quality of life improvements, it was designed around eververse and creating chokepoints to inflate playtime, so as you can see there's nothing we can do about it and its not our problem, its the player's problem." (satire, in case it wasn't obvious)

      • Those currencies are the major incentive to get people to play endgame activities. They don’t want you stockpiling them.

        • This is VERY annoying. Having too many of the shards and cores can be seen as a luxury. But since you can really only own a small number in the inventory that is shared for three characters, there are really too few available. Lets say that the new season have some new exotics and some new armor type you will need to thrive in whatever new game mode, or whatever random armorstat gets nerfed/buffed for pvp (this we know can happen anytime). The inventory we have is too small to be able to freely create masterworked builds for all characters. The possibility to grind for shards is also very limited at the beginning of seasons. The postmaster ones get deleted everytime you happen to run a few strikes/gambit/crucible matches ( all showering you with umbrals and blue gear, overfilling postmaster without any warning). The very limited amount of the most difficult to obtain currency is just a way to create an artificial scarcity, to make sure that players are always grinding. But this is just cheap and poor design, decided by some behavioural analyst to keep people hooked to the game. What they dont realize, is that we who play destiny a lot does it no matter what the grind target is. I (barely) tolerate the grind, but most enjoy destiny when I can just chill around in pvp with my friends, and dont have any stupid pinnacles or currencies to chase. At the other end are those who play casually, joining in for the latest content and leaving as soon the game goes from a new experience to a repetitive grind. Hence their casino style rng drop and limited ability to stack up on resources are just an annoyance that does not bring the game anything positive. But some guy hired by corporate to "boost player engagement" says that it is good so that's what's in the game. I would love to have no limits for shards, since then I can earn them while I want to, and use them when I want to. But requiring us to upgrade and delete crap gear at a net loss just to be able to reset the rank and have a chance for a good, high stat exotic is beyond stupid design. Destiny is seriously becoming more and more difficult to tolerate, the more they try to boost player engagement by putting artificial hoops for us to jump like good little dogs.

                • It's so -blam!- stupid this isn't in yet. It's just raising the cap. How does a game become so broken that simply raise the item cap on something throw 17 million things out of whack? Come on guys.

                        • Did not you get it yet? They don't want you to collect stuff and spend when you need it. They want you to grind aimlessly non-stop. This is why crucible tokens are gone now.

                          I think options to consider would be raise the cap & allow vault storage. For those saying, just spend them, are missing the issue. When you are able to farm Ascendant Shards, you can store 10 in shared inventory (account wide). You can also store 10 in each character’s post office. If your drops & engrams add up & overflow your postmaster…. It will force delete the stack of 10 ascendant shards sitting in your postmaster that took hours of game play. So why not just bump the inventory to 40 & allow at least 1 stack of 40 in the vault? I have 20000 useless weapon parts, I’ll never use except to spam Banchee-44 engrams (which will fill up my postmaster & cause me to lose 10 Ascendant shards). So why can’t I store more of the most precious & rare items in the game?

                          • I agree this is annoying however having to micro manage my postmaster every two or three activities is worse. The fact we're years in and it's still the same is just lazy

Waited for multiple resets and hot fixes still not fixed. I did pay for this season like all the other ones I payed for bought tour $100 witch queen in advance. Just free money . I do Not understand why this has at least been addressed like saying when it will be fixed or some sort of acknowledgment. It’s one thing to have a bug another to ignore the people who can not enjoy the paid content . I truly enjoy your game most days but this is the kind of thing that sends people the other direction when they see tour next product. Please a fix or feedback from the company not just from random people who can not fix the problem. It’s a small number but we are still customers. Sorry about being angry but Cmon man!!
