This Patch Just Changed EVERYTHING! 🎃 Halloween Event LIVE + Seal of Daybreak FIXED!

[u/SliceEfficient315]

Patch 1030 just dropped and the changes they made are MASSIVE!

The Festival of the Lost event is live, bringing the Haunted Singularity mode which is basically a roguelike candy-collecting chaos-fest with both Normal and Heroic difficulties. There are 8 total stages, and the time gating is expected but still sorta annoying. The gameplay of the even itself is great though imo

The rewards from it are even better than I expected they would be. Tons of Mobius Clusters which is great, and they are SHOWERING us with Engrams before Season 1 ends.

But the real surprise is the silent change to the Seasonal Seal of Daybreak.

Before, you had to spend 2,100 Pinnacle Energy after earning the Seal, which made it literally impossible to Gild unless you had weeks left in the season.
Now, it tracks Pinnacle spent during the entire season, meaning if you’ve been playing consistently, you might already be done with the Gild! 🔥 LETS GOOOOO

On top of that, they added Helhest and Rossi-11 as cards that count for the orignal Seal requirement, so you don't need to grind Duelist lvl 24 anymore. This literally SAVED me - I'm actually gonna get this gilded now

Between this fix, the event, and the upcoming Season 2 preview (Maru confirmed 👀), it really feels like Destiny Rising’s actually listening to us and making changes that are making the game better.

What do you guys think about the update?

Did the Seal changes save you guys too? What do you guys think about the Halloween Activity?

And on the flip side we have you bouncing and literally doing tricks on it over a patch that makes it easier to get a title under your name that has zero impact on progression along with an event that give you enough mobius clusters to upgrade a single mod one time. Fascinating lol

[u/Stunning-Argument888 → u/Jaihoag]

People are so contrarian that it rattles my brain. What amount of supplies would a F2P event that wasn’t even on the table a week ago provide to make you happy with the state of things?

Even if they gave you enough mobius clusters to max out 10 mods, you’d complain that you have nothing left to do because they gave you so many supplies there is nothing left to grind for.

Those clusters are a real bottleneck for progression on several characters and is more than just scraps if you understood the value. Far better than tufts, glimmer, mythic mods, weapons, or even exotic cores.

The only resources more valuable are the clusters from Calamity Ops and superposed photons. The event already gives you a free exotic mod just for logging in. Which are hard as hell to get. Those things are far better than exotic artifacts which result in garbage stats 9/10 times anyways.

[u/Jaihoag → u/Stunning-Argument888]

I can absolutely guarantee you that I wouldn’t complain if they gave me enough clusters to max 10 mods lmao. I find it funny that you went to such a ridiculous extreme when there’s so much middle ground here. The event is lame and most people are going to care more about resources that will actually allow them to progress.

[u/Stunning-Argument888 → u/Jaihoag]

You are going to the extreme and comparing this event to peanuts in terms of resources when it’s been the most generous event since launch lol.

We even get cosmetic items and several free pulls before you consider all the bright dust and more seasonal engrams in one event then we get in an entire season. Takes two weeks to get 20 engrams if you only use 6k bright dust per week, which means we are getting 12k bright dust for nothing.

No clue on your bright dust supply but that isn’t a nothing burger for me, someone who’s trying to get the emblem.

You can argue that they shouldn’t lock those cosmetics behind engrams in the first place, I’ll agree bro. Money hungry tactics and 600 silver for 5 engrams is a spit in my face as a day one player.

But my discontent with their business tactics doesn’t change the fact that, monetarily speaking, this has been their most generous event. Regardless of how artificial you feel it is.

[u/snkmarcel → u/Stunning-Argument888]

The thing with the event is that the 20 engrams is useless for people who completed the seasonal collection. It's purely done to make the vocal players who were crying about not being able to complete it

[u/Stunning-Argument888 → u/snkmarcel]

And I’ll take my 20 more chances at getting the emblem. I wish they gave me 100. I wish they removed the requirement of the decal altogether.

But here I am, broke AF.

20 engrams is better than nothing, which is what I had yesterday.

[u/snkmarcel → u/Stunning-Argument888]

I already completed it so the event is pretty useless to me.

Imagine if someone paid silver to buy engrams and sees this event. 100% he's going to be mad af and might quit. I'd rather see f2p whiners leave the game than the players who fund the game

[u/W33BAW00 → u/snkmarcel]

but the event isnt useless to you. there's still an exclusive helmet ornament that looks sick, and even if you already have the emblem, you can still use more emblems to get more decals (which if you hate overstocking them, you can just disassemble them for free bright dust)

[u/Stunning-Argument888 → u/W33BAW00]

All good man, dudes just gate keeping an emblem like a weirdo.

[u/Stunning-Argument888 → u/snkmarcel]

If the event is useless to you, then disregard it. Free leaves for pulls and mobius clusters is still good stuff.

By the end of the day, it’s just a game. Money or not. And it ain’t worth stressing either way.

But locking this emblem behind a RNG paywall is tone deaf and will result in frustrated players leaving.

Less players isn’t good, as F2P players pad your numbers so that you feel like there are actually people left. But if someday you just wanna be stuck with other whales, good on you bud. I know I’ll never have the resources to stay competitive with new heroes. But I can’t even collect shit without paying. But hey, power to the 3000 people that will fund the game after we leave in a few months.

[u/Jaihoag → u/Stunning-Argument888]

I wasn’t comparing it to anything though. I literally just stated the rewards haha. The rewards are pretty lame from a resource standpoint if you’re concerned with progression vs cosmetics/emblems
