[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

Edited by Ninjamonkey1981: 10/13/2015 6:05:50 AMI am starting to more than greatly lothe this game. Some parts are pointlessly hard and, from what I have seen, bringing gally and the rest forward would not have been that big of a deal. No they had to nerf them mad style right before they get rid of 90% of them. About ready to Gamestop this game. Very very close, not yet but very very close.

Although it's true, the ease and quantity of ways to level up have increased. It is actually faster now if you go through all the available methods and do it frequently. U don't have to of course, but it's available for us to utilize. I'm leveling up much faster, it doesn't seem that way by the numbers, but my time invested it is...

The point is they misrepresented the expansion, once again. Anything and everything to make you grind. I do believe they have a Grind Innovation Department. Maybe just one guy. Maybe two. Playing cat's cradle.
-
Yes u are right, but nowadays motes of light are very easy to farm and not so usefull. I can easily rank one faction rank every day just farmi g those. But i am agree, nightfall are pointless now and if i will ever need motes or other stuff i will find very long and boaring get faction rep.
-
Bungie changed the rep system for sure. Not so sure I like it.
-
-
They lessened the faction rep to give incentive for people to get the exotic faction cloaks. The exotic cloaks give increased rep for that faction.You have a reason to grind glimmer for heavy synths or grind levels for motes now. I agree it is dumb though. But I don't mind it because i got all 5 new monarchy shaders in 8 levels, so the need to grind an grind seems a moot point, at least for me. Plus minus the scout from dead orbit, the pulse from future war cult, or the machine gun from new monarchy, nothing seems all that useful from the factions this time around.

Edited by theREALliveguy: 10/12/2015 9:45:11 PMThey definitely made this game WAY MORE grindy.... And its funny because they said the changes were made to make it less grindy? LMFAO!!!! Uhhh......Halo 5 coming soon. The Taken Shelf will commence.
-
It's because there will be a consumable available from Tess, so they want you to pay for a booster. But it doesn't affect your game so why care? It's only cosmetic. /bullshit
-
You are correct. The only thing is they now give us gear that boost's those gains. I bet when all boost's are used they still will be less.
-
Stop whining you can trade in your 30 million motes to rank up in 30 seconds
-
Honestly, I think Activision is calling all the shots here. Bungie employees are just slaves to Activision. But yeah, the faction reputation is bogus.
-
Edited by rinoas_angelo: 10/12/2015 4:44:30 PMYeah, I agree Bunghole did bad here. The way it is now, rep is heavily weighted towards Vanguard/Crucible. Now I like that you get both, but why the increased grind? The way it is now, it [b]can take literally weeks to level a faction just once[/b]. We essentially HAVE to dump motes of light into the faction to have any sort of progress. And it's 125 motes per level. That's a lot of motes! Nightfall and weekly heroics should give the rep boost again. This needs to be fixed.
-
Im not arguing with your fact research but It seems to me like I level up in Vanguard level MUCH faster than year one
-
rip motes of light
-
Now it may take me over a year to get an exotic class item compared to what used to be under 6 months to level several factions to 25

Bump bro bump

You guys are still playing? Quit now and you won't be disappointed later. Only reason I got TTK is because it was meant for the vanilla game in the first place. And yes I feel like the whole experience is with the DLC. Just not happy I had to pay over 200 bucks to get it. Let this game die now with its brother call of booty
-
I agree
-
Bump. You're totally right.

When you complete a heroic strike and get 12 REP 😂 brb kms.
