[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!)
