My guess (Destiny)
Am I missing out on something?
Even when I had to do a few bounties for him I just did the glimmer ones quickly and moved along in the campaign.
As they (all but one) offer "Legendary Gear" and take a currency that requires hanging about the tangled shore (which I've moved on from due to Dreaming City fun times), I haven't casually picked them up/done any of them.
So, while I help melt any "WANTED" I see show up with whoever is interested, I still feel like I'm just missing out on something.
My issues
- I don't know why bounties to pick up based on what activities I'm about to do. The strike playlist doesn't exactly guarantee that I'm going to run into any specific enemy within an hour or two (and that would require me to even know which ones show up in strikes...).
- The rewards are just "meh"? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- They require a currency that would require me to kill time in the tangled shore when I'm using whatever spare moments I've stolen to continue pursuing powerful engrams...
So yeah, am I missing something? Are the rewards cool and unique in some way? Should I develop a mental map of where each of these WANTED characters pop up and pick up the bounties as part of my playstyle? Has this particular part of the design just passed me by?
To me, the Spider bounties look like content that was put in the game specifically for players that progress very slowly through the campaign. While most of us (I suspect) have largely moved on to the Dreaming City, the Xbox Achievement data shows that only somewhere around 10% of players have even reached the Dreaming City. So there’s a sizeable chunk of the player base who is still plugging away at the Tangled Shore, and might want more activities to do while they’re there.
