[quote]Another thing we didn't like about the Year 1 Nightfall was how players could feel forced to play Nightfall as early as possible in the week to maximize the benefit from the Nightfall buff. So, we've shelved that buff until we can reform it into something closer to its original intent - a mark of prestige for having achieved something challenging. We've adjusted sources of XP and Reputation up to account for its absence.[/quote]
LIES. First, Bungie removed the 500 rep gain from the nightfall. They also removed the xp boost from the nightfall. They then state that they increased the rep gain from other sources in order to compensate. Now let me tell you why that's bullshit.
Bungie did not increase any of the rep gains, they actually DECREASED all of the rep gains! I can't be the only one who has noticed and is pissed off about this. A normal "kill enemies" patrol mission now grants you A WHOPPING 5 FACTION REP! Compared to the previous 15 or 20. They have decreased the rep gains from all patrol missions, the crucible, and strikes. Even bounties only give you 25 or 50 compared to the 125 or even 200 FACTION REP. The only way to effectively rank up your faction now is to give up all of your materials (heavy ammo, motes, armor materials, etc.).
I don't know about you other guardians, but I don't want to give up all of my possessions in order to rank up my faction. The reputation system was COMPLETELY FINE before TTK came out.
Please Bungie, bring back our nightfall rep and booster. Or actually increase rep gains!!!
Tl;dr : Bungie decreased the rep gains instead of increasing them like they said
Edit: like and bump the post so Bungie can fix this!
Edit: Keep it going! I can barely keep up with all of the replies :D
Edit: WE ARE TRENDING PEOPLE!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD BUMPS!
Edit: I'm seeing a lot of people saying that the rep has been split between faction and vangaurd/crucible. This is what has mainly contributed to the decreased faction rep and there should be an option to make it so we can focus all of our rep in one place.
I'm assuming Bungie has read this. We are at the top of the trending page :D

I never felt forced to do 2 or 3 nightfalls Tuesday morning. I actually liked it I miss the both the rep reward and the rep/exp buff for the week I agree the really didnt give us other sources of rep to replace the nightfall buff

They increased rep gains through previously unused stockpiles of materials being available to donate. If the old system was in place [i]and[/i] we could donate materials, we'd rank up very quickly. Granted many of us are short on materials right now because we are infusing gear left and right on up to three characters. But give it a month, we will be drowning in motes, armor/weapon mats and whatnot. I'm bummed we don't get the flames though. So much for the badge of honor or whatever.

Edited by J Cob 55: 10/11/2015 1:07:55 AMThey absolutely nerfed the ever loving bleep out of rep.
-
Yes they lied.
-
Yeah. Thought that was pretty stupid
-
Completely agree. Rep gains have clearly been reduced across the board, only way I ever make any progress is by dumping motes into it.
-
I like being able to rank up factions using the motes, synths and stuff... But there isn't very good reason to run the Nightfall anymore. I get better rewards from heroic strikes with a lot less headache. Make the rewards for Nightfall be better than heroic strikes [i]every time[/i] even if those rewards are only once per week, per character. I don't see myself running nightfalls on a regular basis right now. There just isn't enough upside [i]in my opinion[/i].

At this rate they just need to cave and make the nightfall have matchmaking. They really do. If you want to only allow people the are 280 light and above, fine. Just do the matchmaking and be done with it.
-
You only get half towards your faction of what you get towards crucible. Win: 30 rep for crucible, 15 for faction Loss: 12 rep for crucible, 6 for faction
-
Compeltley with ya
-
I never saw a 200 rep bounty. But I agree. The new rep system is shit.
-
-
Yeah I noticed it too, takes forever to level up now.
-
I agree fix it. You were so quick to need three of coins, fix the game!

Inb4 buy rep with silver.
-
I find myself blowing through all my materials just to rank up every chance I get. It's sucks now
-
I was just thinking about this earlier today as I turned in several bounties all at once and barely gained any rep at all. Big bumpity bump.
-
-
Yea I was thinking about this the other day myself as I was doing bounties and it hit me, the only way to actually rank up a faction is to turn in materials, motes, or ammo packs for rep (and everything but motes are kinda terrible). Somehow, I think they don't give a shit.

Ranking is so much harder then it used to be
