Guardians are taking to Reddit to voice their concerns about Destiny 2’s missing events, stating that the cosmetic space game rewards for the event aren’t worth 1,000 silver, or roughly $10.
“These event cards are not worth the price.[sic]. $10 for shader, emote, sparrow and transmat effects. Keep in mind that it is the same price all season. Just save your money,” reads a post by Reddit user AmbidextrousWaffle, which has been upvoted more than 7,000 times.
The Destiny 2 base game contains a significant amount of free content, but hardcore players typically pay for each annual expansion and seasonal DLC. A recent bundle that includes the Witch Queen and three seasons of additional content, such as campaigns, season activities and story missions, costs around $80 (£70). The upcoming Lightfall expansion, which players can also purchase with seasonal content, will cost around $100 / £80. On Steam, the Silver Pack is priced at $14.99 / £12.99 and includes 1,000 + 700 bonus Silver.
As it stands, the fact that Bungie also only charges $10 for its seasonal DLC content may explain why some players say event skipping isn’t worth it.
The Festival of the Lost Pass contains various instant rewards and multiple rewards for players to earn during the event. Instant rewards include the Bobbing For Apples exotic emote, an exotic vehicle, and a legendary shader. Additional rewards that require players to redeem tickets include an Exotic Ghost Shell, Legendary Emote, Transmat Effect, and Ghost Projection.
However, players not only have to buy the event pass in cash, but also unlock content by earning “tickets”, which includes completing quests in the Festival of the Lost. So someone could spend money on content and not have access to Event Pass items until the event ends in three weeks.
Bungie introduced its first Event Pass during this year’s Solstice event, which took place this summer. Even then, players spoke out against the apparent discrepancy between the Event Pass, which costs around $10, and the Season Pass, which unlocks engrams, exotics, materials, or other rewards every time the player levels up during the season. the season (up to level 100). at the same price.
Some players are concerned about Bungie’s predatory monetization of the game. They fear that Bungie is pushing monetization in a way that negatively impacts the game, as many gamers claim companies like EA and Blizzard have done in the past.
Ultimately, the Event Pass can only pique the interest of people who want the specific cosmetic items it unlocks. Players who aren’t interested may just not buy it. However, even if they can skip the pass, it doesn’t necessarily change the minds of some gamers that game developers are trying to add ever more intrusive monetization methods to the games they enjoy.
