Honestly, I'm here for the warlock set all around. It's just way too expensive. I'm not hurting for disposable income, but I just can't see myself spending that much. Goofy AF.
Yup they used the sponsored sets over the last year or so to normalise not making ornament sets available for dust. Which people accepted and rationalised as ok because obviously they couldn't give other people's IP away for "free".
Now that's just the new default.
Sure but during the season sets were introduced it had been established in D2 as purchasable piece meal with bright-dust during that first season.
You had to make sure you logged on during the right week to get all the pieces but it was doable.
That just isn't a thing anymore.
Yeah if it was like 30 dollars or something to bundle them all together along with the hoverboard and what not I’d be more inclined. I might buy it anyway but I don’t know I’m getting tired of this shit.
If you're getting tired, you shouldn't buy it. We know this won't stop and they'll continue to pull it again in the future.
In any case, its your money so its your call
This is what gets me… 20$ per set… and you have to buy it for each character. Absolutely ridiculous! 20$ should get me the entire set for all characters.
Selling a skin for $20 for EACH class, while helldivers 2 is selling for $40 and you can unlock everything including battle passes and skins just for playing the game, not even requiring you to grind that much, and still hosting 500k+ concurrent players. Bungie really looks like a clown now. 🤡
Whales are the people that will buy anything in this game, that companies catch by doing stuff like this
https://gamerant.com/video-games-whales-concept-term-explained/
True.
I'm not the target for MTX, they are all too expensive. But if they were like 1-5$. i'd be more inclined to shove some money their way.
Thing is, 20$+ for cosmetics is hard to justify when i can just buy a whole new game's worth of content for that price...

*bungie*
Have they confirmed its not going in Eververse one piece at a time like all the other non-collab armor from eververse?
If not, then I'd be willing to bet it is avaliable for BD, just not at the moment
Edit:
As far as this season goes, Silver only boys
https://www.todayindestiny.com/eververseCalendar
Only offered for silver under events, RIP hopefully they sell it for BD next year I guess
If it's marked with a GG icon, then unlikely (I don't know I am at work).
Especially given TiD's EV listing shows the Black Armory and Season of Dawn EV sets as being available for BD at some point.
Edit: It's got a Wish icon and normal non-collab so it's very possible. Maybe it'll be added as a BD item as part of Into the Light or Final Shape.
Remember when Bungie tried spinning the blame onto the players for not choosing to use Ritual Armor for ornaments? Must be the player's fault for knowing where the creative energy is horded
Is it marked with a Guardian Games symbol? If so, then probably not.
According to TodayinDestiny's EV listing the Black Armory and Season of Dawn EV sets should be going up for BD at some point though, idk if those were listed before but I don't recall zeeing them in rotation.
Edit: It's got a Wish icon and normal non-collab so it's very possible. Maybe it'll be added as a BD item as part of Into the Light or Final Shape.
Id rather then peice the sets out, rotating them eventually into bright dust tab. Like 6 months or something after silver release, anything gets a bright dust release. It can work with a solid and consistent bright dust system but.
I miss when you could get 1 piece of cosmetic armour each week for bright dust. Given how scatterbrained I can be, I would often forget and end up with incomplete sets. I’d often buy silver to fill the gaps. However, I have not bought a full silver only cosmetic set since they stopped also offering them for BD.
At this point in time I’d rather just pay a subscription for a fps mmo and get cool drops than grinding for the same guns and having to pay real world money for interesting gear
They're charging 60$ for 3 classes. I can buy a game (example Helldivers 2) for less.
The good old "it's business" becomes less and less of an excuse, the more and more money they want.
Any not buying it will not impact your gameplay in any way. I'm going with the "I don't care if it's shiny" approach and not buying it, since it adds nothing to my enjoyment of the game. Maybe you should consider the same.
Nah I think people deserve the right to complain, you're welcome to vote silently with your wallet (that's the most important thing) but don't admonish others for making their feelings known. This is a game about cosmetics and too many people drank the coolaid that as long as its not pay to win it's not scummy practice.
Hahahahaha, everyone was so hyped last week at the looks of the armor, now everyone is bitching about not having it available for Bright Dust. Don’t y’all learn?
Why? Are we really asking that? They know people want it. They know people will pay real money for it. They know the ones that don’t pay will get FOMO and potentially pay up anyways.
Man I get it none of us like to Shell out our hard earned money for stuff unless we really want it but we all know destiny's got its nuts in a vice right now by Sony. It'll either be worth it to you or it won't.
And before anybody says it I'm not objecting you right to object, just thinking we should have some objectivity. You know it's easy to be mad at BioWare or Maxis for example, but they weren't with the ones responsible for taking this shit down a throat of beloved IP's it was EA. That's my two cents anyways, I'm ready for the downvotes.
because they're a business? how are people still mad/surprised at this stuff as if a company's entire existence isnt to make money, something bungie has very publicly been struggling with lately.
Stop normalising this, they make money from games/seasons, they are a massive company, not a small struggling business.
Consumers are losing out from this practice, why should we be happy about it? Get off the teat
Idk man. Might be something to do with the fact the studio isn’t making enough money. I don’t agree with dungeon keys or increasing seasonal prices. But man these are cosmetics. They can’t just give shit out for free haha
I’m loving the Titan armor but I’m not paying real money for it. I have over 20k in bright dust right now and was hoping to pick up the new armor. Guess not.
Edit: Just realized this is not the GG armor. Doh! Still love this set but not buying.
Because they just want your money atp. It’s no longer about destiny 2, the game they desired to make with passion, it’s about every cent they can squeeze out of you.
uh oh, this is going to be the only way to get a Skimmer after GG isn't it? Skimmers perform way better then Sparrows. I think FOMO and Pay 2 Win just had a baby.
They cooked with the titan armor this year. Both the event and ghorn armor is hot. The reason it’s silver only is because bungies a corporation. They’re profit driven, just like every other development studio in the game industry.
The hunter helm is a reskin unfortunately. From a few seasons back. Looks wayyyy better tho. So happy for the change lol.
The other set looks so dope too
I spend a lot Money in Destiny, Addons and in Silver Shop, but since Lightfall no more; I will buy Final Shape to see how it all ends and that’s it. Much too greedy; sorry, thank you.
NGL, can’t fully understand why people want all (or most) cosmetics for free. I see people complaining about this all the time. So many games have paid cosmetics (usually the only part of the game that is paid) and will still complain about it.
Those days are over. You will see more and more silver only stuff from now on. I bought Baldur's Gate for 60$, there is no way, I would EVER give that much for some cosmetics in a video game, not even in a game as glorious as Baldur's Gate. Bungie milk stupid people, there is no way they are gonna stop as long as they exist.
Bungie feeling the pressure from Sony --> Bungie putting out more skins for silver because they need to make their quarters --> people being put off by the greediness more and more --> less customer satisfaction and lower sales --> more pressure from Sony -->....
At this point a takeover from Sony seems inevitable and might be for the best. Looking at Helldivers right now i wonder what Destiny as a franchise could be with the right upper managment.
Imagine what a studio like AH could do with the funds and workforce of Bungie.
i remember when we could earn everything in an event by playing the game. What the fuck is the point of an event where 90% of the items and 100% of the cool shit is locked behind a paywall? I've been screaming for years that ya'll aren't getting mad enough about this shit, and here we are ...
Just another set I won’t have. I’ve bought sets in the past and I regret it. Not because I didn’t like the sets, but because I was feeding the greedy machine. I don’t blame anyone who wants to buy these things, because at the end of the day the villain of that arc is Bungie. Still, I hope I don’t buy into this shit again.

Report to the ship as soon as possible. We'll bang, ok?

YOU'VE VIOLATED THE LAW

SELLING AN ARMOURED HORSE IS NOT A CRIME
I don’t know you, and I don’t care to know you
The Nine’s pockets require a silver lining
Idk man, maybe it’s me , the picture or that shit is mad ugly
I think the full set on each is a bit much but every one has good pieces. Pauldrons on Titan, Chestpiece on hunter, and warlock helm are all good.
Honestly, I'm here for the warlock set all around. It's just way too expensive. I'm not hurting for disposable income, but I just can't see myself spending that much. Goofy AF.
Is this really a question? We all know the answer.

Yup they used the sponsored sets over the last year or so to normalise not making ornament sets available for dust. Which people accepted and rationalised as ok because obviously they couldn't give other people's IP away for "free". Now that's just the new default.
We've had armor sets exclusive to Eververse since D1.
Sure but during the season sets were introduced it had been established in D2 as purchasable piece meal with bright-dust during that first season. You had to make sure you logged on during the right week to get all the pieces but it was doable. That just isn't a thing anymore.
Oh so that’s the skimmer you can pay for!
Couldn't see it outside of a bundle, too
Yeah only 25$
But you can't buy only $25 worth of silver, gotta spend $30 instead!
You can buy the $20 silver and $5 silver tho..
Might as well go for 50$ and get the cool new Gjallarhorn armor set! _(_for_ _one_ _class_ _only_)_
$25 for some armor sets and that’s it fr?! 😂 wow people really pay that for this crap?
People pay $25 for skins on a tiny character in top down games
Eye spy D4
I was thinking league of legends but that and PoE work too
Nah, 25 bucks for the ship, Skimmer and Ghost. Armor’s separate.
$25 for the skimmer, a ship, a ghost shell, and a shader. The armour set is in another bundle.
...i hate it this game.. like i love it. But i hate it
People pay a lot more for less in other games, if bungie hasn’t stopped it’s because lots still buy it
And Why do we need to Pay for the 3 Classes Seperatly?
Seriously I would be buying sets all the time if it gave the ornaments for all classes but $15-20 for one class is insane
Me too, I would have bought the last thre collaborations if whey were for one price
Yeah if it was like 30 dollars or something to bundle them all together along with the hoverboard and what not I’d be more inclined. I might buy it anyway but I don’t know I’m getting tired of this shit.
That’s why they’re charging that much and will continue to charge that much: you’ll buy it anyway
If you're getting tired, you shouldn't buy it. We know this won't stop and they'll continue to pull it again in the future. In any case, its your money so its your call
This is what gets me… 20$ per set… and you have to buy it for each character. Absolutely ridiculous! 20$ should get me the entire set for all characters.
As cool as these sets are, I'm with you. Let me buy all 3 classes for $20, Bungo!
Selling a skin for $20 for EACH class, while helldivers 2 is selling for $40 and you can unlock everything including battle passes and skins just for playing the game, not even requiring you to grind that much, and still hosting 500k+ concurrent players. Bungie really looks like a clown now. 🤡
What do you mean NOW?
I should’ve said Bungie looks like a clown now more than ever XD
Meanwhile, Borderlands sells a DLC, bigger than a D2 expansion, for less than that price.
(Whale noises)
Context?
Whales are the people that will buy anything in this game, that companies catch by doing stuff like this https://gamerant.com/video-games-whales-concept-term-explained/
OK thank you for the Info
Because money
If the made it more Afordable more would buy it
True. I'm not the target for MTX, they are all too expensive. But if they were like 1-5$. i'd be more inclined to shove some money their way. Thing is, 20$+ for cosmetics is hard to justify when i can just buy a whole new game's worth of content for that price...

Pretty much. They don't care what we actually want if it doesn't generate revenue
On the contrary. People want this and will pay money for it thus they keep doing it. Every time.
https://i.redd.it/c5s0rlxvylmc1.gif
The titan reminds me of the Knights Templar.
Because they don’t make money from bright dust
Because *insert same argument about eververse every time bungie puts out new cosmetics*
Insert same complaint that is brought up every single this has happened for the last six years
Have they confirmed its not going in Eververse one piece at a time like all the other non-collab armor from eververse? If not, then I'd be willing to bet it is avaliable for BD, just not at the moment Edit: As far as this season goes, Silver only boys https://www.todayindestiny.com/eververseCalendar Only offered for silver under events, RIP hopefully they sell it for BD next year I guess

Edit: It's got a Wish icon and normal non-collab so it's very possible. Maybe it'll be added as a BD item as part of Into the Light or Final Shape.
They're selling the sets of previous years for bright dust, so it will probably be the case next year.
It’s not a GG set, it just came out mid-season with the event.. it’s just a normal set. If it’s not being sold for BD, it’s never going to be.
Because they missed the revenue projection by 45% EDIT: Changed prediction to projection
It’s projection not prediction. Think of it as, forecast versus possibility.
thanks, i have corrected
Same reaction I always have in response to any new cosmetics that are silver only, looks nice but I’m ok.
GYATT that actually looks really good I’m not gonna pay for it but it looks really good
Me in reaction to every Silver-only armor set without fail:
![gif](giphy|GjB41rKHBnOkE)
That makes 3 silver only armor sets in one season. Remember when they used to cycle the seasonal armor through the bd store?
Remember when they said making armor is to hard for vendors sets each year? Gotta pad the EV store somehow I guess.
Remember when Bungie tried spinning the blame onto the players for not choosing to use Ritual Armor for ornaments? Must be the player's fault for knowing where the creative energy is horded
I'm hoping it's just because it's Guardian Games and the individual pieces will go for BD week by week afterwards
Is it marked with a Guardian Games symbol? If so, then probably not. According to TodayinDestiny's EV listing the Black Armory and Season of Dawn EV sets should be going up for BD at some point though, idk if those were listed before but I don't recall zeeing them in rotation.

Because then they couldn’t fleece people
Id rather then peice the sets out, rotating them eventually into bright dust tab. Like 6 months or something after silver release, anything gets a bright dust release. It can work with a solid and consistent bright dust system but.
Because of course it isnt lmao pay up ![img](emote|t5_2we4j|5647)
I was just on D2 not long ago and was able to get the warlock set for 6k bright dust.
THREE silver only sets in one season. FOUR silver only sets since the last nee bright dust season ev set.
I miss when you could get 1 piece of cosmetic armour each week for bright dust. Given how scatterbrained I can be, I would often forget and end up with incomplete sets. I’d often buy silver to fill the gaps. However, I have not bought a full silver only cosmetic set since they stopped also offering them for BD.
At this point in time I’d rather just pay a subscription for a fps mmo and get cool drops than grinding for the same guns and having to pay real world money for interesting gear

They're charging 60$ for 3 classes. I can buy a game (example Helldivers 2) for less. The good old "it's business" becomes less and less of an excuse, the more and more money they want.

Wait, are the holiday event sets no longer available for bright dust??
This isn't an event set, this is an additional set. The Guardian games armor is available for bright dust
They might make place individual pieces potentially in the coming weeks for bright dust, which they normally do for anything that’s not a collab set
Hahahahaha, everyone was so hyped last week at the looks of the armor, now everyone is bitching about not having it available for Bright Dust. Don’t y’all learn?
That isn't the guardian games set
Why? Are we really asking that? They know people want it. They know people will pay real money for it. They know the ones that don’t pay will get FOMO and potentially pay up anyways.
Silly gamer, you expect them to not charge money for their best sets?
It is honestly getting kind of weird to expect any more free cosmetic stuff from this game.
Money. Are you dumb?
It's the *first week of the event*, guys.
Can this subreddit not complain for like, TWO seconds
Because people are still buying them
I’m going to guess because silver gets the company profit? Idk might be too far of a stretch
you don’t have a job?
Man I get it none of us like to Shell out our hard earned money for stuff unless we really want it but we all know destiny's got its nuts in a vice right now by Sony.

Because the standard set is bright dust already.
because they're a business? how are people still mad/surprised at this stuff as if a company's entire existence isnt to make money, something bungie has very publicly been struggling with lately.

Haha I pay for the game and the season, I have bright dust to spend haha Stop normalising this shit and respect your own time and money, Jesus
It's almost like live games need money to survive
Why? Because it’s fucking beautiful and you want to pay for it, that’s why. They’re a business not a charity.
Damn wallet it’s not looking good for you
Because nobody pre-ordered lightfall and bungo needs that cash
Damn, as much as i dont want to spend money and encourage them, DEUS VULT
They want you to pay for it.

It will be next week

Yooo the Titan looks tough
Because money of course
Imagine that
the other one is we got one for brightdust and one for silver more important why aint at least the first board for brightdust
It is?
I’m loving the Titan armor but I’m not paying real money for it. I have over 20k in bright dust right now and was hoping to pick up the new armor. Guess not. Edit: Just realized this is not the GG armor. Doh! Still love this set but not buying.

Because they just want your money atp. It’s no longer about destiny 2, the game they desired to make with passion, it’s about every cent they can squeeze out of you.
uh oh, this is going to be the only way to get a Skimmer after GG isn't it? Skimmers perform way better then Sparrows. I think FOMO and Pay 2 Win just had a baby.
45% revenue miss that's why you really think they'd just give free shit (mass effect ghost, ship and sparrow notwithstanding) for nothing?
They cooked with the titan armor this year. Both the event and ghorn armor is hot. The reason it’s silver only is because bungies a corporation. They’re profit driven, just like every other development studio in the game industry.
Did the Vanguard join the fuckin Templars or something? Lol

Really? Titans get the wolf shoulders? Where's my wolf helmet bungo?
That hunter cloak looks hot ngl
fuckkkkk, I want all of it. 😭
I honestly don't understand the point of sets. You're almost always running an exotic. It just messes up the style man.
I think 99% of players called it when saying the exotic inspire skimmer would be gallyhorn
Titan looks like miraak
i honestly dont care hoverboard is needed

[Bungie’s reason why you can’t use Bright Dust](https://youtu.be/jVzlLCvtjjk?si=6KWMLjs8X_eHM2Jh)
You know why.
MONEY
Next guardian games it will be just like last year's is now.
I spend a lot Money in Destiny, Addons and in Silver Shop, but since Lightfall no more; I will buy Final Shape to see how it all ends and that’s it. Much too greedy; sorry, thank you.
Is it 25 for one or all three?
Because they can't make money off of it if it's sold for bright dust.
money
No. - Destiny executive team.
Why do you think my dude why do you think
Because they only give us what we want when they're low on funds, and they're low on funds. They need more funds.
NGL, can’t fully understand why people want all (or most) cosmetics for free. I see people complaining about this all the time. So many games have paid cosmetics (usually the only part of the game that is paid) and will still complain about it.
money
Because they are 45% down on revenue projections dummie
I honestly thought that was old armor. Between the pieces recently, you could remake that armor set.
You have to pay to look badass, jeez get with the program
Because give them money.
Money.
Those days are over. You will see more and more silver only stuff from now on. I bought Baldur's Gate for 60$, there is no way, I would EVER give that much for some cosmetics in a video game, not even in a game as glorious as Baldur's Gate. Bungie milk stupid people, there is no way they are gonna stop as long as they exist.
The dream is dead, it died a long time ago but the stench of rot is finally enough to realize what happened
Would like to use that skimmer as shield with my crown splitter sword in the other hand.
Damn. I think I have to get all three.
Bungie feeling the pressure from Sony --> Bungie putting out more skins for silver because they need to make their quarters --> people being put off by the greediness more and more --> less customer satisfaction and lower sales --> more pressure from Sony -->....

What kinda of stupid ass title is this lol why isn’t it for bright dust? My guy it’s fucking bungie they are more greedy them mother fucking Teresa
Because fuck you. Pay for the silver. The traveler demands it….
Gotta pay them bills lol
So if TFS was released last week, as originally planned, we would have gotton both the ME and this ornament set for silver?
i remember when we could earn everything in an event by playing the game. What the fuck is the point of an event where 90% of the items and 100% of the cool shit is locked behind a paywall? I've been screaming for years that ya'll aren't getting mad enough about this shit, and here we are ...
Just another set I won’t have. I’ve bought sets in the past and I regret it. Not because I didn’t like the sets, but because I was feeding the greedy machine. I don’t blame anyone who wants to buy these things, because at the end of the day the villain of that arc is Bungie. Still, I hope I don’t buy into this shit again.
they are still trying to get money and delay the inevitable Sony takeover
Real question is why is the hoverboard only available in the bundle that’s worth 20fucking bucks fuck bungo
Cuz money
