Locking Catalysts behind faction rally
Not cool dude. This rally fell on my overtime week which means I got NO play time this week if this rally ends tomorrow AND you can't -blam!-ing switch factions mid way through each rally then -blam!- you for locking the catalysts for THREE different exotics behind them. I'm only slightly less annoyed at the exotic ornaments.
Now I'm going to miss out on at least one catalyst for absolutely certain, because I have a job and I work 12 hour nights and want to sleep when I get home. This sort of crap is okay for iron banner because it's ONE faction you grind for and it's cumulative, but for something with three different factions with three different exotic catalysts locked behind their high ranks this is bullshit! I won't even be able to power game one of the rallys and get more than one faction, cause it's A GODDAMN ACCOUNT-WIDE LOCK!!
TLDR
Obviously I'm more than a little salty that I literally have zero chance of getting all three of the catalysts now.

3 RepliesIt was so boring to hit 50.... Whoever thought farming public events then lost sectors was fun needs to be fired yesterday

Agree, even IB in D1 was manageable with limited play, seems like the plan in D2 is to keep us busy with nonesense.... I swear I spend more time just loading, traveling.. traveling some more, traveling back, running to Hawthorn at one end of the tower then back to Cayd at the other end, forget rank 50.... no way I'm going to do the same lost sector for hours on end, that's not what I bought the game for..... make the Faction rally tie into everyday events, and things like catalyst should be earned by quest not hours of farming.

Edited by nighthound22: 6/14/2018 11:49:34 PMI agree it's stupid. I do feel there should be an alternative way to obtain them as well. Also can I say how boring it was grinding 50 levels or 1000 tokens.

1 ReplyEvery catalyst in the game should have been obtained by hitting a certain objective with the weapon or armor piece, followed by a questline of some sort to make them better. Putting most of them behind RNG, and the others behind an hours long faction rally grind is just cheap and lazy. I’ve literally played every day since Warmind drooped, and I’ve had exactly one catalyst drop, and it was for a weapon that I’ve literally only probably used for a combined 10 minutes since D2 dropped (Darci).

30 RepliesEdited by Nickel7Dime: 6/13/2018 7:57:02 PMRank 50 was kind of extreme, but the real issue is more so just how boring and terrible it is to earn the tokens. You have one of maybe 2 options for effectively earning tokens, and they are by no means fun or interesting. Then there is the fact that just plain bad luck can make the grind far longer, i am talking about getting a full set of faction armour. Having a full set makes things significantly faster, however you can get to rank 50 and never get a full a set, which just seems absurd to me. I am rank 37 and still trying to get a chest piece for my hunter so that i can have a single character with a full set to make grinding faster (though there wont be much point to that soon enough i guess), i have opened every single package on my hunter and yet i have only received non faction chest pieces. And i know others in the same boat. Like it is a pain in the butt as it is, do you have to screw us over with bad luck as well? Edit: i am not asking for all that major of changes. Getting to rank 50 would feel like a breeze for most if they were permitted to earn the tokens the way that they wont. Every option should be equally viable. If you want to do strikes because you like them, then you should be able to just as effectively earn tokens for doing them, as you would if you were doing public events and lost sectors. If you love raiding, then that should be a viable option, we should be able to get tokens from the encounters even after having done it once for the week. This way if you are a person that does almost nothing but raid (i know a few like this), then you should be able to effectively gain faction ranks by doing so. Faction rallies should be about you doing the things you like doing and supporting the faction of your choice while doing it. Some like public events and lost sectors, and that is fine, but not everyone does, so why force them to do these things and really only these things? Edit: a link to a poll i made to see if people want changes. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/246236830/0/0

1 ReplyWhen you realize these catalyst are probably gonna stay around for all future Faction rallies.
-
2 RepliesIf you don’t have enough time to invest into getting them, then you won’t get them. Simple as that. Not everyone is going to be able to acquire everything in the game anymore. Which is how it should be. The people who are able to put in the time and effort into the game should have more then that of a casual player. No more of this everyone gets everything nonsense.

1 ReplyBe thankful they weren't locked behind the winner of the rally..

1 ReplyI’m sorry dude but you are just going to have to wait until next season to get the last one

5 RepliesEdited by GRAVEL: 6/13/2018 4:15:40 AMAwww- My aunt had the same complaint and she been dead these past two years-- talks to me through this ugly old seashell lamp of hers... Guess I should move her but she's easy enough to walk around. Point being...

1 ReplyIs your work schedule going to be the same during the next faction rally ? You make it sound as if you need to do all 3 now, which you can't.
-
7 RepliesI am sure they will release them in other ways later on. Or in Season 4.
-
And you don't think these catalysts wont be offered in season 4??? Stop being a crybaby man.
-
1 ReplyIt is still better than strike catalysts, faction rally catalysts are something you can work towards. Strike catalysts force you to do strikes over and over again, for absolutely nothing.
-
1 ReplyWe wanted a grind. Just not a marathon grind
-
If Bungie took a shit in their cereal, some people would defend it. “I wanted these Cheerios to be more meaningful so you turned them into chocolate cheerios. Thanks Bungie”. Throwing catalysts into faction rallies and limiting them you to one faction per account just shows you they couldn’t come up with anything else to make factions actually do something even though they had a better system in their previous installment.
-
Indeed Guardian. The faction rally still has no meaning because the rewards are not rally specific loot. We should have be able to pledge to all three factions by having 3 characters and only being able to rally for one, the loot should not be the winning faction weapon there should be really specific loot
-
7 RepliesI hate these stupid time gated grinds as well. It’s amazing how many people on these forums defend this half-cocked mediocre gameplay loop because it’s a “grind”.
-
3 RepliesGraviton with catalyst or without, will still win in Trials. Same with Vigilance. Catalyst seem to offer very little to a weapon. IMO
-
200 tokens a day (which isn’t hard) for 5 days. And you’re at level 50.
-
I hear ya, the grind was just too much and unbelievably boring.
-
2 RepliesYou will get another chance come next faction rally.

Ppl wanted rallys to be meaningful, bungo delivers, yes, they went 1 step further (as always, same old bungo) and put them as a rank 50 reward. All i did was to play daily challenges for faction tokens with 3 characters day by day and finished the PE, heroic strikes and nightfall milestones with all 3 characters, i was rank 51 by saturday. You don't have it easier as before, we all don't, but just play the game or not. I have a job, have a home and watch on 2 elders that require to be watching over em, 3-4 hours a day is enough for achieve rank 50 before the reset, in my opinion.
-
2 RepliesPlayed the faction rally for 1 day, a big grind but nothing impossible. Datto talked about this and just doing the milestones daily would put you close to the 1000 grind. Then all you need just a small push, I don;t get the complains.

2 RepliesHonestly, a simple change could make this 50x better. Make the catalyst the winning reward, and change the purchasing resource to something less abundant
