[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

This is IMPORTANT BUNGIE LOOK AT THIS

I feel pity for those new players who need to reach VG Rank 3 for weapons now. Gonna take a while for them.
-
I agree

Bump, totally agree with this

Edited by Phoolproof: 10/11/2015 12:55:41 AMI agree with you and wonder why they say they do things just to cover up that they seriously changed it
-
Agreed. The rep gains, and crap loot my friends and I have been getting is why I stopped doing nightfalls.

Edited by Mara Sov: 10/11/2015 12:52:56 AMI agree. I noticed that i level up my faction way slower since the 2.00 update.

The point of Destiny is to spend thousands and thousands of Strange Coins on Xur's heavy ammo synth, then give it to the War Cult so that we can blow the -blam!- out of everything.

Well, they have allowed for rep gains through other means, such as Motes of Light, so I wouldn't be so fast to call "Lies". That being said, I would like to know what this "original intent" is that they mention & when we'll see that. I, for one, am glad that I can earn decent rep without having to complete the ridiculous Nightfall. There does need to be greater incentives to complete them though, because as it stands right now I could care less.

Spot on post. I am starting to realize that some of these big QoL changes Bungie has hyped up are really not there. Rep gains are crap, and the RNG is no better than before 2.0. I have gotten duplicates so many times already since 2.0 for legendaries and exotics.

It's just stupid how little rep the nightfall gives now. 25 vanguard and 15 faction rep paired with crap rewards really makes me not want to run it anymore. If anything, I feel forced to do it for the legendary marks.

I hate how vanguard and crucible are gained, that should be an option because I feel the rep gains are split. I should be able to select the option to put all Rep towards my faction, I don't care about vanguard or crucible, I feel forced every time bungie, yeah since this feeling of being forced bothers you, I feel forced to use motes to level up. Also, the faction exotic class item bonus is a joke, you're missing out on 2 points people. No, it isn't a huge bonus to brag about it -blam!-ing sucks. Fix the rep gain bungie, and the exotic class items.

Bump. Agree

The bounties are easier. I don't even read them. I just play and they get completed. Also u have a better chance to get things from packages than before.

You know what? BUMP!
