T for Teen Gambling addiction. Start em young so they will feel obliged to buy into the system in the future. Here is a few freebies to get you started. You want more? Feel free to throw money endlessly until you get one possible item you desire. I don't see everything in those loot boxes available to be purchase with dust too. So don't want to wait for it to come on rotation? Buy more boxes! . I really do dislike this system and how gambling is even more accessible to youth. But I guess i'm not the target market. I enjoyed the first Destiny and disagreed with it's micro-transactions. With Destiny 2 being worse on this, I won't be picking this game up because of it. Thank you for this overview video, keep up the good work.

The paywall for shaders are a piss off. It's testing anyone who may have addictive personalities with literal gambling.
The biggest issue is really the one time use, because if you had to grind to get a matching set that would be one thing, but the idea of using the raid shaders only to lose them is bloody ridiculous.

Let's say it is 1 hour per engram. 35 hours for 35 engrams. Simple math.
Someone pays $50 for 5800 silver and can buy 7 packs of 5 engrams.
Just ask yourself: -Is $50 worth 35 hours of grinding for emotes and shaders? -
There's your answer.

Russ, you are legitimately annoying to listen to do a walkthrough you pause so much and completely focus on the wrong things, then you completely gloss over things that are actually interesting. Edit your walkthroughs a bit and speed up your pace please.

Unfortunate that everyone's turning to random crates for microtransactions. I just want to buy the goddamn skin I want.
EDIT: Actually, can you buy bright dust directly, or do I -have- to decraft stuff from Bright engrams?

If y'all stopped putting your shaders on garbage gear and saved them for exotics or the gear you're actually going to use past the raid and trials then none of you would have problems with running out of any specific shader.

So you get drops of three shaders, and they have to be applied to individual armor pieces, you don't even get enough to change your entire armor to match in a single drop? That's such bull. :/

Why don't they just make it like dyes in Guild Wars 2? Unlock specific colors or color combinations in your wardrobe for all characters, and charge a premium for specific colors or color packs.

Eh, if they fix the issue with being able to keep shades I've got no issues. As long as I can earn bright engrams in game and I'm not forced to pay out for them, I'm fine with that.

Man, I like that you can use shaders on pretty much everything now, but I liked to change my shader every day, so them being consumable is a gigantic bummer.

So you get 1 of the curency for roughly 2h of playtime or 5800 for 50$? . Glad i watched this before investing more time in the game.

I enjoy how Polygon videos are split between the goofy nonsense comedy stuff, and the extremely mundane yet informative videos.

So how about that disaster stream earlier, though?
(Side note, microtransactions are objectively hot garbage]

I was considering picking up destiny 2 but the micro transactions are a real turnoff particularly the shaders

No one should spend a single cent on any of this untill they make shaders not consumable again. I won't be.
