I alsl don't spend them like they're free, though, and donr focus engrams unless I am desperate because I don't like seeing that number tank like that. On the one hand, I have a lot of shards (18k) but certainly not as many as some people, so I dont see the costs as crazy high. So while a little more in-your-face, resource caps seem better for balancing the game economy especially if we want our developers focused on making new stuff instead of handling conversion for old stuff they make obsolete by economy shake-ups. We saw this especially in Destiny 1 where at launch Ascendant Energy and Ascendant Shards were the most sought after items for 6-8 weeks, but then were largely useless in favor of Radian Energy and Shards, which were made obsolete first by Etheric Light and later infusion in Taken King. Shadowkeep inflated it to the equivalent of 403 cores (3 cores, 3 Prisms at 10 cores conversion, 1 shard at 10 prisms conversion).ĭuring this inflation, which accomplishes a soft reset of the economy, you get a lot of artifacts of the past and a strong desire players to get usefulness out of their formerly valuable now useless items, requiring developer effort to create a player-respectful conversion for these items that also doesn't throw off the economy reset that made them fall out of favor. Forsaken made it up to 10 Cores (10x inflation). Then it was one (just one) Enhancement Core (Masterwork Core) from Osiris through Warmind.

At D2 Red War, upgrading armor was a mod cost. The other solution is one Bungie tried and players didn't like: each release inflating the economy. While annoying, resource caps fix these problems.įor every person complaining that Glimmer caps at 250,000 is bad, it keeps us all on even footing, and allows Bungie to have a proper economy for glimmer, where costs make sense but aren't impossible for a player of any skill to overcome. Its basic economics that the larger the money supply, the higher the inflation. Video game economies are incredibly difficult to keep balanced when the resources are literally minted as a direct result of time played. Who finally got a PS4? Norsefenrir! Happy birthday!
