Everything.

oh, that makes sense now

so far, Eververse is cosmetic...talk to me when they are putting weapons behind a paywall, which isn't likely

also, you can get bright engrams for free

just wit til you see my new emote...

so far, Eververse is cosmetic...

In order to drive the monetization of eververse you remove the chase for weapons and armor and funnel the chase to cosmetics. Loot based games must have some diversity in its loot pool. There are no random rolls on any of the items that matter, so there is no diversity, rendering the primary reward mechanic of the game to be as powerless as a Guardian in the crucible. Who gives a **** about getting bright engrams? I care about the loot.

 

[antipop]

there is also no diversity in tears...they are all salty af

 

[kcirdor]

Ah tears.. the go to "I have no response to that point"

Further expanding on how Eververse affects the loot pool diversity. Pretty much all the armor and guns are run of the mill reskinned items with a slightly different shader pattern.

Mic drop?

Since Forbes is apparently the go to VG board news source... They seem to have a similar take.

...Eververse when it first landed...Things crept forward, however, into all the myriad places where we see them today. And it's begun to really cut into those core gameplay loops of progression and collection that can make the game so satisfying when deployed well.

you don't have to buy silver to get bright engrams

you can, you know, actually play for them....

Who gives a **** about acquiring bright engrams?

I already explained how Eververse affects the other aspects of the loot system.

When it all comes down to it.. the thing that killed my desire to pour time into this game is the overwhelming casual nature. They took away all the choice. It felt good getting drops in D1. That's not really the case in D2. I said I'd play until I stopped having fun and a couple months ago that's what happened. Also.. Fortnite has been treating me very well.
