Okay. I realize this game is meant to be RNG-centric. That being said, I'm so sick and tired of getting 1...yes 1!...damn energy or shard when I level up my vanguard or other faction.
I put in a lot of time to level it up every week. Precious time...you see, I work for a living and only have time to play about 8 hours in a week. I just want to see a decent payoff when I reach a milestone. At least give us a few of the ascendant materials.
Edit: Wow, didn't know this was such a hot topic. Thanks for everyone's support on this issue. Keep it going and get your voice heard.
Edit2: I know I'm wasting my words and time here, but seriously, Bungie. Please consider changing reward drop rates for these packages.
I mentioned this to another person, but ascendant mats, motes and coins should just be taken out of the pools for faction rewards...and nightfalls for that matter.
Edit3: So I finally managed to score bittersteel from one of my faction rewards. Level 7 or 8 I believe. However, the very next package I got was only a commendation, mote of light and ascendant shard. Problem still needs resolved.
Edit4: So this topic is chronically on the trending list. Once a week I'll get a bevy of notifications agreeing with this post. Not that I'm surprised that I've gotten no response, but c'mon, Bungie. Get with the program here and do something about these reward packages.

For the vanguard I always seems to get a legendary weapon each time I rank up

1 Reply- Selling of weapon parts with the vanguard quartermaster, crucible quartermaster, or both. - Selling of armor materials (hadronic essence, sapphire wire, plasteel plating) with the vanguard quartermaster, crucible quartermaster or both. - Raise glimmer cap (50,000 or more). - All enemies (fallen, hive, vex, cabal) drop glimmer depending on how they are classified (dregs x1, shanks 5x, vandals x10, captains x15). Majors, regardless of classification will drop 25 glimmer. - More vault space (20 more in armor, weapons, general). - Make separate weapon buffs and/or nerfs for pve and pvp. - Expand exotic weapons, class items and armor quantities by making bounties and side missions specific to each faction (Future War Cult, New Monarchy, Dead Orbit). - More shaders to buy with Lavante. Sell all faction shaders and ships within each faction. Specific sparrows per faction. - Allow to paint sparrows, weapons and individual armor parts with shaders. - Allow to paint ghost with shaders as well. Ghost should do more that just open doors and be a flashlight. - Transmogrification. - First person view with sparrow (optional with a press of a button). - Add abilities to all types of class items. - When doing a patrol mission, add factions points to the faction of that specific patrol, regardless of the class item equipped. - Option to select a starting point when selecting patrol missions. - Designate specific crucible weapons (non rare, legendary, exotic) for regular crucible ( excluding Iron Banner and Trials of Osiris) to avoid bias to specific weapons. - Allow to select perks when performing reforging of weapons. - Matchmaking for Prison of Elders, since its not a raid. - When using a ammo synthesis, the cooldown will not affect the other ammo synthesis types (i.e. using a special ammo synthesis and having to wait 5 minutes to use a heavy ammo synthesis). - Range area in the tower or reef where players can test weapon perks before going on missions. - Experience bar on bottom of screen to see light level progress (like it was before reaching lvl 20). - Allow a grimoire section on the menu to read grimoire card in the game, instead of using the app or browser. I know this is my own personal wishlist, but i dont think some of these changes should be too hard to implement.

I was 250 rep away from ranking dead orbit earlier. So I decided to grind it out with the one bounty I had and some patrols. Took me about an hour and a half , got a mote of light and glimmer.
-
I can imagine the Dead Orbit Arach putting a mote into a small package, and snickering. "Hahahaa, oh man, the things these dumbass guardians do to get these."

I agree

3 RepliesI agree. I've gotten more faction weapons from Nightfall activities then I have from faction packages. I'm splitting my effort between all three. 21 New Monarchy, 14 Dead Orbit, 14 Future War Cult. No shaders yet. Not a one. I'll keep trying, but it's discouraging to get one shard, one mote and one commendation almost every time.

I got bittersteel 4 times in a row until I hit faction 25 dead orbit at 26 I got the ship guess I have prayed enough to RNGesus

1 ReplyLol must have been nice to get a shader at lvl 7 or 8. I didn't get my first Dead Orbit shader until 24. Dead Orbit level 58 now and just need "The Nowhere" and the ship. But there's people who have had it way way worse than that. It sucks when you get just a shard or energy but every time I level it up I still have that excitement and hope of getting one of the two faction items I am missing. Just keep the grind on man. Pick the easiest bounties you can get and things will come in time. I hope they don't change anything for these factions as far as package rewards. Makes the items that much more satisfying when you do get them.

I agree I want to see more fruits if my labor (DO for life btw)

This new expansion can't drop soon enough. In the last 3 weeks, I've only gotten materials, motes and commendations in my package rewards. I even leveled a new character in preparation for HoW. I can only hope that without these comms clogging up our packages, we'll actually have a bigger chance at some worthwhile loot.
-
I got my first shader at level 18. Ten levels after your shader drop lol. Level 19 was a mote, shard and a commendation.

2 RepliesAnd your Cryptarch packages?! Here's the deal Bungie, I run through the same shit strikes time and time again to get shitty blue engrams which I decode and instantly delete, meanwhile the Cryptarch reputation is slowly slowly making its way up. But for the past three rank ups, I've been given 2 blue engrams a pop. [b]I Don't grind to get all those shitty blue engrams just to then get given two more shitty blue engrams on the house[/b] just give us some bloody purples, just to break the monotony of your broken rewards scheme The 'package' is purple, so why does it contain [b]shit[/b]?

Seriously...I'm tired of wearing this ugly ass warlock bond.

Level 7 and you are asking for better faction rewards? I have one at 23, one at 11, and one at 8 and have only got one shader. I know people in the 50s that haven't got anything decent. Once they get rid of commendations hopefully better things will drop. I always get one coin or a commendation.
-
Edited by D-lyfe: 5/8/2015 11:37:38 AMLvl 49 DO not a single shader has dropped, only thing I've got is the ship, lvl 3-30 was all commendation an either mote/energy/shard. Lvl 17 DO Revenant Shader. Fraction packages are so bad it's untrue, I really hope with commendations being removed from these packages bungie has reworked these packages for the HoW update otherwise getting just shards/energy/motes as your rewards is gonna just get even more annoying.

3 RepliesAgreed does anyone even have a faction ship yet?? I'm 30 dead orbit still no ship

1 ReplyEdited by l AM LEG1ON: 5/7/2015 4:31:45 AMGot my level 23 dead orbit package last night, i got a mote of light and a commendation. A package should contain a faction armor or a faction weapon with a random roll of perks everytime. The only good things i have got from 20 plus dead orbit packages is 2 cool shaders, a good legendary hand cannon, and a hide and seek with hammer forged and rangefinder.

Agreed
-
Yep, the packages are worthless and not worth the time spent ranking them up
-
Yes absolutely, packages are like shit now
