For faction information "faction games and faction presence in world" skip to faction section *PATROL QUEST LINES* [spoiler]Patrol missions now link together now instead of one mission done. look for another when you complete one mission. They now chain together up to 6 "always 6 unless you abandon it" making those pesky bounties more fun to complete. But that's not all there are "legendary patrols" a much harder type of patrol mission still consisting of 6 objectives after 3 normal steps of a patrol when they update you on the forth it has a rare chance of turning into a legendary patrol. This is when it becomes difficult like a mini strike almost the 4/5 patrol tier would be kill or collect missions or really just not go here scan this missions the 6th mission will be the patrol boss. Spawning when you get to a determined location as strong as a strike boss and when you defeat that boss it's time for the thing we all play the game for loot... A patrol chest appears the 7th mission is open the chest its not hidden or anything it's just letting you know it's no normal chest and upon open you can get legendary's exotics ext dragon strike level loot you get a bunch of vanguard or accordingly to your class item rank New Monarchy,Future War Cult, Dead Orbit. But you also get a Faction coin for one of the four possible factions you will get a coin for the one you have equipped or not equipped for vanguard. These coins can be used to buy thing that marks cant such as a faction ship,sparrow,shader,ext.[/spoiler] *FACTION SECTION* [spoiler]Now the good stuff Introducing The first annual Faction Wa...I mean uh The Faction Games! The Faction Games is a new special event "iron banner,Queens Wraith" The factions each tidy up a spot in the upper courtyard and bear to be near each other for 2 weeks out of the month and compete to gain the affection of the towers guardians by offering even more luscious loot for the taking! Guardians pick a faction "and only one may be chosen per event" and compete to earn games rep for there team and for themselves, as the faction reaches it's goals in the games loot is cheaper to buy and extra rewards for no charge of course the top contributors will reap the most rewards. To earn said games reputation you have to compete in faction crucible hope you pick the same faction as your friends "or best player you know" cause its Faction vs Faction in this playlist "the ideal situation is bungie implements a 1v1v1 game mode" or by completing daily faction bounties complete a patrol line,public event,kills with a faction weapon crucible or not,faction crucible bounties, and ext. Now that you have a reason to join a faction lets give you a reason to stay with each event occurring if you continue to pick the same faction you gain more rewards and rewards faction hoppers will never earn and even if they do stick it out long enough and trade sides they wont be able to use that earned loot. "You will be able to see loyalty tiers rewards 1-5 or how ever many loyalty tiers there are, so you know what you get for being loyal don't want you picking a faction for 5 weeks and hating the faction exotic you can buy now do we?" "the loyalty faction gear you get will only be equip-able if you are still with that faction for a certain amount of time 2/3 events concurrent this will make you choice next month that much harder when the enemies are trying to sway you" "If there were faction exotics I prefer they don't have a loyalty restriction but instead reset your loyalty if it's from a faction your not currently allied with will warn you when you equip it if it would reset if you want to earn all 3 factions exotics you have to earn your first one and put it away for a while" But of course the other factions will want to win over the most loyal supporters just to deal a blow in moral so you might even see the two factions you have nothing to do with offer you some rewards just for leaving the faction you've been so loyal to. ps: Any faction ,armor,shaders,weapons you have earn up until now will help with xp earned in the Games "Faction Games Should have specific emblems and class items in my opinion"[/spoiler] Comment below what faction you rep!!! So that's my wall of text hope someone likes it! :D leave a comment please and thanks ! Edit 1. 100 VOTES WEW !! Edit 2.As the year progresses the victory of the faction games can effect the world, such as a example is, Dead Orbit wins every faction games and build a great hanger for their ships. ext or something that the faction would do to progress it's cause and it would let players feel like they actually affected the world. *Community Contributions* 1.goal scaling more people in faction higher goal 2.tower decorations tower is decorated in winning Factions flags TL:DR cool ass faction tower event that pits factions against each other for cool ass rewards Ple comment <3
