Allows peoples to get another crack at it, allows those that missed the launch weekend a crack at it, allows Bungie employees who can’t participate in the day one contests a crack at it, & it allows more people to make attempts and practice at contest level.
It’s some of the best content in the game and if the emblem/prestige of clearing it day one is too special to some people - just make two emblems. One for day one, one for contest. Since most people just watches streamers & use their strats on day one - I don’t really see the issue or the point of that tho.

1 ReplyEdited by CORPERATE COMMANDER: 2/23/2025 7:46:48 PMOnce a month or every 3 months maybe, only because contest mode brings locking majority of players out of content for a brief time/days and it caters to a small particular amount of players which sadly only think about there player experience over the majority Emblems should only stay with day one clears not after otherwise the top % would whine there emblem means jack now. If bungie was going to do a contest mode more often then they would have to lower the bar on all endgame content except contesr mode otherwise bungie will lose what remaining players they still have

The OG emblems should not come back. That would be awful for the people who did Crown, LW, and SE among others. I didn’t end up getting SE despite trying. That’s ok.

Yes but no emblem and no exotic

5 RepliesIt devalues the experience day 1/ contest clears are meant to be achievements showing your commitment, or an individual was there moment. I still feel it should be 24hr or bust on emblem because as you said after its cleared everyone starts mimicking one strategy for better or worse.

I don't even run raids and having a weekly raid race on contest mode is a great idea.

Oh Yes pls

Edited by Cheat: 2/23/2025 2:51:44 PMAbsolutely yes. And the best part is that if emblem elitists don't want Bungie giving out the original contest emblems, they could just make fresh derivative emblems for the contest rotator. Compared to armor and weapons, I'm guessing emblems are waaaaaay easier for their art team to add, since they are more or less static art. Would be a huge win for PvE lovers. I would ADORE the opportunity to drop back into contest modes of raids I wasn't able to try contest on and also raids I failed contest on originally.

They should do for contest what they do with trials. Each weekend the weekly featured raid and or dungeon get contest mode enabled for 24 or 48 hours. To make it worth peoples time the weapons drop with double or triple perks, double drops are enabled, and the exotic has a higher chance to drop. People will not like this one but also let people earn old day 1/contest emblems.

Thats kind of what pantheon was in spirit, and they seem to know that pantheon went over well. They have said they plan to do things like it again, though we dont know what thats really gonna look like.
