Discussion So... No more sherpa emblem?
I just recently helped a bunch of friend to do their first DP clears and I noticed that I got to more than 10 sherpas and thought "oh wait, let me check Bungie Rewards for the emblem", but I found nothing.
So... no one noticed that this raid one was completely ignored? Just curious.

Lots of things always fall through the cracks with the high employee churn at Bungie. The current game director only got the position because he was the last one left on the floor after everyone else departed at the release of final shape.

That "sherpa" emblem was a complete joke.
I remember seeing so many posts on the lfg discord wanting only people who never played the raid to join their witness checkpoint to carry them without explaining the encounter.

Bungie rewards have been incredibly light lately. There used to be lots of things every DLC. With TFS, it was pretty much just the raid sherpas. Now we don’t even have that.

I think youre mistaking when they said "Salvations edge was originally 4 encounters but they delayed TFS and (along with other stuff) added a 5th encounter (Verity)". That wasnt to do with any sort of plans for an epic raid
The epic raid is however going to have "New encounter mechanics" to some unknown extent so perhaps your point is still valid we will see

Maybe as an example idk but that wasnt the reason TFS got changed. The idea of epic raids wasnt there yet

But then it wouldn't really be "sherpa" since you probably already have done the base raid. It doesn't have much sense honestly but who cares at this point.

No ascendant emblem. No ascendant 0 emblem. No trials shader. Trials armor, but no ship sparrow or ghost.

Yeah, and I have specifically been trying to go out of my way to get my 5+ streak for these shades, only to show up to the lighthouse and look like an idiot as not one but THREE emblems show up that idgaf about. I'm in it for the shaders, and I was told past shaders were available. I would be at 450 right now instead of 420 if I'd known this and just skipped trials for more of everyone's favorite, -30 Caldera!
WHERE THE SHADERS AT BUNGIE DON'T PLAY WITH ME

Noticed this too. Dumb to take them out, I always thought they were a good addition. I pick up in raid mechanics quick and don't have issues getting groups but for the people who may struggle, sherpa emblems. Even if it was only for the final boss were great to help people learn and people actually made a point to help, at least till they got thier embelm or maybe more

Emblems are hard to make, just like quality content. Haven’t you learned anything since 2014?

Most of the web APIs allowing ingame rewards have be removed. See Twitch Trials reaction rewards
