Limited Ascendant Materials Limit Player Creativity

This is not a hate filled bash of Destiny. It is constructive criticism. When I created my Titan, I looked forward to discovering which playstyle I would develop. I maxed out both subclasses, and I tried to compile a set of legendary armor. It sounds like things are going smooth, but don't be fooled. I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if I use my ultra rare, almost impossible to find ascendant materials on a weapon or armor, I might find something better later. Don't get me wrong. I don't even have enough of them to level my gear as it is. Now think about a player who wants to explore different weapon, class, and armor combinations. I'll be lucky if I just get enough ascendant materials to upgrade the equipment I have by the end of the year. My feedback is this: Ascendant materials need to be way more common. There are too many weapons and armors to explore, to try out, and to start over again to match a different playstyle. I feel that the game has limited me to my first choice, or has made me not even try to max out my first choice for fear that I will get something better later. Since I don't receive enough ascendant materials, I can't change weapons and armor to adjust to a crucible match or to adjust to a strike mission because I only have enough ascendant materials to upgrade one weapon and armor at a time (and that has been a long.......slow........progress) [b]Extoics, strange coins, and motes light are rare enough to keep the best of the best equipment almost unattainable. We don't need Ascendant materials to be just as rare.[/b]

  • Easiest way to get ascendant material: If you are a Titan: Step1-create 2 more titans. Step2-get them to lvl20 Step3-run daily on lvl28 (2 ascendent materials) Step4-run 1 event (1 ascendant material) Step5-put all your gear in the bank Step6-change characters Step7-get all the gear out of the bank Step8-do steps 3-7 again You will have 9 ascendent materials a day.

      The ascendent materials are only utilized in legendarys and exotics to increase their max damage output or defense ouput at the end of the gear skill tree... they dont inhibit you from getting the special abilities associated with the armor or weapon... Also check out my thread regarding the titan catapult...were trying to fix the bugged skill... Finally I do agree that the materials are sparse...but hopefully that changes in the future, however feel free to use them as they dont restrict you from getting the abilities...just the upgrades towards the very end of the gear skill tree...

      • Isn't that kinda what makes it exotic/rare? If they were more common, they wouldn't be so special...
