[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

When you complete a heroic strike and get 12 REP 😂 brb kms.
-
well the reason the faction gains are lower is because you get both crucible\vangaurd at the same time as faction but i do agree about the nightfall rep gain, that was good how it was
-
-
The exotic class items don't seem to help any either....
-
Bump, make it normal and make the faction rep half of what we're supposed to earn
-
Bump bruh

Edited by Havok: 10/12/2015 2:00:28 PMBungie wants us to play Destiny nonstop to the point where we LIVE on it to make substantial progress. The grind for faction rep is horrible. The grind for Legendary Marks is even worse as I don't and can't play the game EVERY, SINGLE DAY. By the time I login and can actually play and do things like the raid or Black Spindle quest, I'm left behind by all my friends who play the game 24/7. One of my friends has a light level of 309, whereas I'm stuck at 295. It's discouraging to the point where I just turn the game off and play something else.

I feel the same
-
yeah its split but I still call bullshit ! its just bungie screwing us again with no damn lube.
-
Yea takes sooooo long to rank up now
-
The grind is more apparent now than it ever was. You get a Bump.
-
Every step in this game is simply a grind now, it is almost getting to the point where it isn't fun. Like any quest from lord shaxx, frigging retarded long
-
Huge bump. Reason 12 why I'm over this game. Every time it's 1 step forward and 4 backwards and falling down the stairs. Epic fail Bungie.
-
-
Agreed, its also like all the enemy and weapon bonuses mean nothing as well. Actually saw a 'decrease' in glimmer not increase as it should be.
-
Bump definitely disappointed in lots of things with ttk. Come on rainbow 6!

"Forced" ? That is the whole point why we "forced" ourselves to finish Nightfall asap in year 1: to get the xp boost. I felt like they nerf anything that benefits us or we never complain about, but ignore anything we kept constantly complain about. A mobile app game I played made in Japan (not mentioning the name) have patches launch everyday because they listen to their players. Any bug or glitches reported, they fix them within an hour. Can't Bungie do something like this? I know the time to fix programs since I'm learning game design. But they can do bits and fixes asap.

Bump bump bump

Bump YYYYYAAAAAASSSSSSS

I think the amount of reputation given out is embarrassing. I play crucible a lot, and my reputation has seemed to increase at a very SLOOOOOW rate than before. Makes no sense.
-
It's the reprocussion for no more going to orbit. But yes, there shoulb be at least a 300 rep gain.
-
bungie just likes to find ways to get people to put more time into the game to artificially extend the life of there DLC's. the legendary marks, the nightfall, the quest lines, making things take a week till you can get them or a day to continue its all just an excuse to get people to log in again and play more. like you would feel at a casino, maybe if you spend 20$ you can win it all back, theres just that chance that you can hit it big and be rewarded. Ive sunk my fair time into this game and with this dlc i have seen that they are going to a place i really dont want to go. i remember when games were fun, and not a chore you had to do every day.

I don't know what your problem may be but I'm leveling my Vanguard about every 5 evenings of play. My factions are leveling more often since I spend my motes there.
