How can we improve factions? (edited Thanks bungie!)
[quote]Faction Class Items (ex: FWC Cloak, Dead Orbit Mark, etc.) are now replaced by Faction Emblems in the rank-up reward packages from Faction Vendors[/quote]
Thanks Bungie!
Lore: What is the point of the factions? We can get an idea of their ideas from idling next to them but we never get to carry out missions for them unless randomly given to us by patrol missions.
-Why dont we get dead orbit exclusive patrol missions if we are in dead orbit for example?
They need to have purpose or make us feel like we are having an impact on the fight (which we don't know much of either)
As far as rewards:
Can you even get armor and weapons out of faction packages anymore? I just hit rank 15 and i haven't gotten anythings in the past 8 levels or so besides class items and materials. If i wanted materials i would go do the raid.
It's a slap in the face to get class items. (but fixed now!)
-
I would like to see a bigger distinction between perks on gears based towards PvP or PvE ( an existing example are helms with the more energy by killing guardians/minions of the darkness ). Then have each faction carry a set of PvE armor and a set of PvP armor. Then make it so I can but Dead Orbit PvE armor with Vanguard marks, or buy Dead Orbit PvP armor with Crucible marks. Since I'm losing both Crucible and Vanguard rank by wearing a Dead Orbit hand towel, I should be able to use Vanguard marks as well as Crucible marks.
-
easy; allow them to accept Vanguard marks as well as Crucible marks. that would be great.
-
Bungie don gud
-
At the very least there should be some kind of live scoreboard that shows total rank for factions, so like take everyone in NM and add their faction rep together and then compare that against everyone in DO and FWC. That way we’d at least have a sense of which faction is the most popular.

Edited by PatmanCg3: 11/30/2014 6:13:34 AMDon't know if any of these have been said yet, but 1. Sell shaders after a certain level 2. Faction quest lines and specific story for the factions 3. More importance besides armor and weapon choice 4. Faction specific Exotics, armor or weapons 5. Faction specific play lists and/or rankings Just my thoughts and what I kinda expected factions to be.

1 ReplyWhen the DLC comes out, they should add new armor for the factions, or increase the stats to keep them relevant.

Edited by Zaphieus Rising: 11/30/2014 1:51:14 AMHigh ranking members(rep 30?) in factions should be able buy faction 30light armor. This would both encourage faction loyalty, and remove the Raid armor bottleneck. (If you're going to say "everyone will be 30" then stfu, if they didn't want everyone reaching the level cap so early they should have a much higher cap.)

2 RepliesI think they should have one exotic each that you can only get through the packages from leveling up RNG chance each time you get a package. Maybe they could just be special weapons maybe a dead orbit sniper (darkstar: void), FWC fusion (Shock and Awe: arc), and a new monarchy shotgun (no name ideas yet:solar)
-
you can get faction armor and weapons out of the packages i even gotten rare sparrows out of it but most of the time i get like 1 shard or energy or sumthing dumb but i really do hope the do somthing about it but i guess we shall see just the way it is it seems worthless to lvl ir up if u get nothing..... rnt i right???
-
I agree. Bump
-
either that or put an exotic at a high rank... my vanguard is 30 got tiered of lvlin it up so im workin on other stuff i think they should reward ppl for high lvls for all the faction so it will acually b worth it
-
I would like a reason to follow through with the factions, at the moment I can either get bad armor or ok weapons.... And waste time by doing so. We need a reason to follow through with these factions.

3 RepliesThey need more lore. Easiest way to do that would have specific bounties or missions for each faction. As you rank up you unlock more diverse missions with more info as you play through them. But no. You have to do the missions on the planets which consist of kill this thing, now go scan that, and collect this junk. They don't deliver at all or help you delve into the game. Give them missions you can't get anywhere else. Example: There is a point of interest on Venus that Dead Orbit wants you to inspect. This mission is a level or area specific to Dead Orbit! You cannot reach it via Patrol or the main story. This would give players not only something more to do but also help the factions stand out! And as for gear give each faction a way to reach level 30 like the Iron Banner! Make it so you have to be rank 10 or whatever and have the items cycle out every week or few weeks. Make it so that each faction fits a way to play for people in terms of stats as well. Example: "Golly jeez, I like Dead Orbit because of the accuracy they have." "I like New Monarchy because of the strength they have" "And give each faction at least one exotic. A gun or some armour and specific ships and Sparrows. And one final thing. If you want to keep people in a faction then don't allow mix and match armour. You can't wear New Monarchy greaves with Dead Orbit boots. But you can still mix and match them with regular armour or raid armour or crucible and vanguard.
-
I wish there would be a perk for being loyal with your faction to the point they have exotics for just that faction and the ONLY way you can get these weapons or armor is by being a certain rank and by being with your faction for certain amount of time let's say 30-45 days I'm just making stuff up as I go...

Faction Shaders
-
well there is no way to make them worse so do whatever
-
Not make class items scarfs or towels taped to our side
-
Removing faction class items from the reward pool in the mail would help. I've gotten the exact same cloak I was wearing three+ times while ranking up FWC. Never a single shader.
-
4 RepliesI just wish there were factions for non-crucible players :-(
-
If they had level 30 gear it would be cool
-
2 RepliesMake a new faction that requires Vanguard marks to buy their stuff. Also, make the class items a bit cooler looking. I would love if my Dead Orbit scarf was a bit more than ...well, a scarf.
-
It would be cool if they added story missions exclusive to a specific faction. Missions that resemble their motives and/or their actions against other factions, and as a reward you get ascendant materials or faction exclusive gear for completing those missions.
-
I'd love it if sparrows changed to mirror faction items you have equipped. Black and white for dead orbit, red and white new monarchy etc
-
Probably go back in time and make the game better :)
-
Bump!

Edited the thread to be a little more general and constructive.
