Hate to be that guy, but if weekly bounties are going away, are we losing the main source of bright dust as well? /u/cozmo23 can you let us know?

We'll talk about Eververse next week with more detail, but to answer your question, no you won't be losing your main source of bright dust. It will be replaced.

@ssStormageddon @thebrutalitea It takes a lot of coordination and alignment across the entire studio to put these together. Focusing on specific topics each week allows us to get updates out quicker to you all.

More info on Eververse next week. This should be covered.

My first thought after reading the Bounties section is they didn't address anything related to Bounty design often forcing you to work against your teammates, which I would argue is one of the biggest issues.

The rest sounds good in theory, but there aren't enough details to really say one way or the other. It's just generic "they will be less bad... maybe".

The team is indeed aware of this feedback, and has been moving towards more shared progress style things.

Ex: Trials bounties.

Even in Guardian Games, where competition is a piece of the event, alt-class laurels give progress towards your medals. While it’s less progress than like-class laurels, the team wanted some shared progress to help prevent the feelings of gaining no progress.

@Philboyd33 Anecdotal. We are not, repeat, not fiddling with numbers.

This week at Bungie, Titan domination continues.
Guardian Games continues into its second week and, after a good showing by Hunters on Day 1, it’s been all Titans all day every day. The book readers haven’t scored a win yet, but are optimistic they can rally.
After Day 1, we saw a lot of players asking about score weighting since the results seemed to play out like the population of classes predicted. Since Titans have been relentlessly destroying the other classes, we have seen players asking if there may be some other issue going on. As a Hunter, I too am in disbelief as I watch our flag try to bury itself into the ground. We’ve been double checking behind the scenes and digging into the data to get a better picture of what’s going on. Here is Senior Designer Peter Sarrett to share some of our findings.
Peter Sarrett: When we first started planning Guardian Games, we knew there were more Hunters than other classes in the population and we’d have to do something to ...

Seriously, why all your comments are c&p?

Sorry, I didn't copy and paste this from anywhere. The answer to the question is it's being fixed next season so I wrote that.

Yeah, until they post actual numbers of medals per class I'm not believing a thing they say about this shit show.

Funny how when they release a patch they comment on this. Fixed something did we?

Fixed something did we?

No, we didn't make any changes to Guardian Games in the Hotfix.

We'll share some more info about Guardian Games scoring in the TWAB tomorrow though.
