They're just artificial game lengthener that waste time between matches and it's just more salt in the woound when you sweat out top of the leaderboard and then get commended by the players that say lost 15 motes or didn't capture points in iron banner. I mean if the system was even worth it and even thought out enough to have commendations like best dressed or something then sure whatever, but in this iteration it's just another awful system all around.

Destiny Devs, This isn’t a hard fix. The system has its merits and faults. If you’re going to use the system to rank up each season then penalties (just like quitting crucible matches early) need to be assessed. Change it to a system where you rank up based on giving out awards not receiving them. Or penalize those individuals who go back to orbit prior to issuing awards at the end of a match. It’s a simple fix. For some real data, I had a surgery this week so I played a lot of destiny today. Over probably 6-7 hours of play time I managed to collect between 100-125 awards. That’s utterly pointless if the system is going to gate us based on these awards. Every single level rank I’m constantly waiting on commendations to rank up. Fix the system or ditch it. There are countless seasonal updates, this is an easy one that can eliminate a lot of complaints from the player community.
-
Better yet, just ignore it. Pretty simple actually. It doesn’t help you nor does it hurt you, so why complain about it?
-
System useless ,nobody take it seriously Why getting so mad about it to wanting it gone ?
-
But then how are the streamers supposed to measure their e-pen!$?
-
If I'm doing dares or a nightfall on hero and I don't get pinnacle score I don't give them out...I wait 10 to 15 seconds to see if I get any and then I leave
-
I don’t dislike the idea, I just think it needs better implementation.
-
They’re a gimmick. They don’t actually reward good players. They allow for player perception to rule. And even then they’re just spammed anyways. I swear to god if another imbecile who goes 1 and 15 in my comp game gives me another commendation I’m gonna stop playing. Why should they even be able to do so?? How about this instead of commendations. Actual rewards for good players, titles, pinnacle weapons , etc. And also a play of the game feature would be nice. So people could see the type of low brain cheese garbage that gets rewarded in the game. I want to see a play of the game with epic music while staring at my screen mouth agape as a pve kid who can’t hit a drag uses no time to explain and a fusion on my entire team. Without ever having to move. I wanna see that.

I knew this was a troll post when i read "if the system was even worth it and even thought out enough to have commendations like best dressed"
-
This system was probably intended to FORCE, yes Force good players to sherpa new light players. Honestly, I don’t mind helping new light players as long as they have a mic for comms. How many times they nuke Vorgeth before cleansing the final token for Wishender lol. Hard not to laugh.
-
Absolutely. They are a ridiculous social media driven gimmick. So are guardian ranks.
-
best dressed lmao. Jesus.
-
They fact that they changed the pinnacle from 20 to 5 is hilarious to me.

[b]THE WORST THING EVER ADDED TO DESTINY!!![/b] And we have seen lots of crap. It's poorly thought out, it's poorly implemented, how do you have more then 2 teammates in an event and still only have just 2 commendations to pass out? How in IB were there many matches were we never had time to give commendations before taken to space - MANY for me! You do not have time to do commendations (and yes I go in to do them before the screen pops up on its own accord) and see the stats as well. And PLEASE do not make that wait time longer, I have to spend 2-3times the time now to take down a red bar then I did just a month ago and I now have many more red bars to deal with then before (I enjoy the later but not the former). How do you get your quota of giving if players leave before you can give them. [b]SERIOUSLY COMMENDATIONS SUCK EOD![/b] I dare you to find just one single player that uses Commendations as intended 100% of the time I dare you to find just one single player that uses Commendations as intended 90% of the time I dare you to find just one single player that uses Commendations as intended 80% of the time I dare you to find just one single player that uses Commendations as intended 70% of the time I dare you to find just one single player that uses Commendations as intended 60% of the time I dare you to find just one single player that uses Commendations as intended 50% of the time 40%, ehhhh maybe. <40% OK maybe some people are Me? Get weekly quota - BOOM DONE! Who gets them from me? Half the time to the first two I click on. Surely I can not look at stats and say hmmm he was great and deserves - opps in space already. Sorry folks!
-
They basically did today. They are folding up like a paper plane in just weeks... Lol
-
I swear ranks affect gameplay somehow, maybe not in a crazy overwhelming way, but maybe in how the game adjust difficulty. We had a rank 9 in one of our battleground runs and we were getting stumped, and that was the easy runs...once we got re-matched with 6 or 7s things went back to normal. I know people will argue this, but who knows what Dumbgie is doing in their code and maybe using ranks to adjust difficulty.
-
The most accurate way to judge others I found is to commend the players on either side of me.
-
Either remove them or rework and make them something meaningful. Right now they're pointless.
-
Why could I only give out 2 commendations during IB (when I have 5 teammates) but I have 5 commendations available in dungeons (with only 2 teammates)
-
After reading today's Patch Notes, yes, they should just be taken out of the game at this point. The requirements needed for Hawthorne's Weekly and progressing Guardian Ranks has been lowered so much to basically nothing.
-
I just do it to get my pinnacle then leave as soon as I get my loot.
-
Edited by Clint: 3/30/2023 4:49:57 PMIn the new hotfix the requirements linked to them have been reduced massively.. so much so that they're even more pointless. They simply need to go
-
Its great for pve content cause you can kinda reward that one guy -blam!- you when you get nuked buy an aeon hammer
-
no plz hear me out ! lets add commendation like : AFK the whole Strike ! / Never used is super ! / 0 % accurati ! / Wallmart Microphone Award ! / Screeming kids in the backgroud / Joined a KWTD group while not KWTD / Pro Aimbot enjoyer ! / Double primary weapon user / .........................

I agree. Anything that can be viewed in a positive light doesn't belong here.
