Universal Ornaments &
Transmog

During the development of Armor 2.0, I learned a lot about the technical underpinnings of Destiny’s investment systems. This gave me the knowledge I needed to convert our MTX armor sets—which had, up to this point, been distinct armor items—into ornaments that could be applied to armor the player already owned.

I proposed a new feature, dubbed universal ornaments, and shepherded it through development. Once the feature shipped, we immediately saw a massive uptick in MTX revenue, attributed largely to armor ornaments.

After the success of universal ornaments, players provided feedback that they wanted a way to turn their earned armor sets into ornaments. This led to the development of the transmog feature, which I led and shipped.
