Destiny 2 players baffled as premium event cosmetics only last 3 weeks Destiny 2 players are thoroughly confused over why the Festival of the Lost\u2019s paid cosmetics only retain their Light Power for three weeks and what is making Guardians purchase them in the first place. To celebrate this year\u2019s Halloween festivities Bungie brought back Festival of the Lost. While improvements were made such as the introduction of top-tier reissued weapons some issues have remained. One of the biggest complaints about the event is the variety of microtransactions attached to it. Especially in regard to Event Cards which have remained a controversial inclusion in Destiny 2 since their introduction. However, Destiny 2 players have become even more frustrated by the premium mask overrides that despite being purchased with real money only remain useful for the duration of the event. Destiny 2 Festival of the Lost mask ornaments only last 3 weeks despite costing Silver Irritated by the state of Festival of the Lost\u2019s premium masks one player posted on Reddit: \u201cIt still baffles my mind how Bungie can charge real money for a mask that can only be used for 3 weeks.\u201d \u201cYes I know there is a lot of variety there however, after the event (if you can call it that) is over then the mask becomes zero power and you are not able to use it again, even if you purchase one of the masks from Eververse you won\u2019t get a chance to use it,\u201d they continued explaining the problem. Festival of the Lost mask ornaments from previous seasons cost 300 Silver each. That\u2019s the equivalent of roughly $3.00 USD each although the cheapest Silver bundle players can buy is 500 Silver for $4.99 USD. Once the event ends these masks are power-capped and therefore have limited use. Agreeing that something should change one player replied: \u201cBungie have found a way to charge for basically everything at this point. I knew the moment people just accepted their bullsh*t transmog system without any sort of pushback, they truly can do whatever the f**k they want and get away with it.\u201d The most upvoted comment placed the blame on Destiny\u2019s playerbase instead: \u201cThat\u2019s not what\u2019s baffling. What\u2019s baffling is why people buy sh*t like this and that they really have no place better to use their money. Start a savings account. Invest in CDs. ANYTHING.\u201d A handful of players defended the paid masks: \u201cIt\u2019s supposed to be special, just for the event. A lot of people look forward to it. I know I do. You have some spooky fun for a few weeks, and then it goes back to normal. It makes the event feel more special that way. Just like IRL Halloween.\u201d While the consensus was mixed most Destiny 2 players seemed against the idea of time-limited paid cosmetics. Although this is a small part of a much larger discussion regarding the looter shooter\u2019s business model that will continue for some time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
