Commendations and ranks - two of your worst fails ever, Bungie

There are a lot of things to like about this season. Great super, the machine gun and the sidearm are crack, threadlings are hilarious in a good way, Neomuna is a decent destination (except for the -blam!- surfer dude vendor who is annoying on steroids, literally), the saved load outs, the weapons seem to have potential... But the commendations and the ranks? I HATE them. Five Crucible matches before the server meltdown (I was playing against a team of ghosts for two of them which didn't go well) and after each match, not a single commendation. Five plus six equaling zero is really bad math. Dump the commendations and ranks. They're both trash.

  • just make it a personally earnable card. they can track healing, so heal a lot in a raid, after that players can give the healer card or something. same with dps, etc... just make it so actions allows you to earn the cards.

  • Lets not forget the ranks reset every season, so there's LITERALLY no point in doing any of the shít 😂

  • Ranking system is a good idea but needs some major polish. I, who have completed all raids, done all dungeons solo flawless, have been top 0.1% in Gambit and Top 1% in Trials at various points, etc… should not be the same level as someone who completed the New Light quest two years ago and is coming back. I’m not saying you should have to do all of the stuff above to reach max rank… but… if everyone is Rank 6, then maybe Rank 6 should just be Rank 1 or 2 lol? Also, I think the seasonally resetting rank idea should just be the very top singular rank, not spread throughout like 5 ranks or whatever it is, or not exist at all because that’s what title gilding is for anyway. I think they just generally need to reassess how to organize and judge players on a scale like this. I’m sure they fear little Timmy who only plays patrol will get butthurt when they see they’re only level 3 or something, but if they want it to be a testament of how diverse and capable you are as a player, then someone’s gonna have to be at the bottom 🤷‍♂️ Commendations will always be useless and meaningless at best and have no place having any incentive to give them out besides “I like my teammate.” No guardian ranks and no powerful gear should be tied to commendations.

  • I have gotten commendations from everything so far. Raids, Seasonal, PVP, Dungeons. It’s been way more utilized than I expected.

    • Is there anyone who’s actually below level 6 on the ranks or have we all just got to skip the first through levels?

      • I agree with your assessment of commendations. I have played many games and was unable to give or receive commendations yet Bungie wants you to get them to rank. Waste of time.

        • NOOOO the worst fail ever is bungie not selling this game to a developer that can actually maintain it and has more upgraded servers than the halo 3 servers bungie is still using.

          Tbh if guardian ranks didn't get reset down to rank 6 EVERY season then I'd actually care about them. So much for showing a player's "veteran" level. When everyone is reset anyway.

        • Couldn't agree more. @Bungie Why even bother with ranks 1-5 if you're literally going to make everyone a 6 anyway? My nephew who had played destiny all of a dozen hours in witchqueen and did NOT complete all of the tasks in ranks 1-5 despite how minimal they are, is still rank 6 "veteran." You do not become a veteran destiny player simply by talking to all the vendors. This system is complete BS and you need to scrap it. Commendations are a good idea, but with no time to actually give them in pvp modes and incredibly limited options that rarely make sense anyway, no effing point.

          • The whole system doesn't work For me and member of my clan is just a meme and im.sure its like that for most peoples ....just commend anyone anything If that's system is in place for the upcoming in game LFG it will be more of a mess than I thought it would be Guardian rank is ok ....but should be something different... apparently its reseting each season ? That's bad ....it should be adding a new level each season with new goals to achieve higher ranks ... Lightfall overall been good for me other than that Story was a bit meh but the weekly mission and the hidden exotic quest was great ...and I'm biased toward anything shattered realm related

NOPE [i]It even resets back to 6 each year!![/i] After I saw that... Rank is just a [i]Bungie 'Thrall' Score[/i] (Funny thing about that? I have yet to see a single 7 in game! Not one LOL) ------- Commendation at least has some positive potential. But not the way they implemented it: I played a few matches of PVP today • everyone was invisible most of the time • never loaded players at the end so I could give [i]anyone[/i] a 'commendation' • commendation screen, even when it does work, has zero information to aid in choosing whom we intend to give commendations to (info I would like to have; [u]kills[/u] [u]resurrections[/u] [u]players avenged[/u] [u]control captures[/u] etc.) • Commendations don't relate to our experience in a meaningful way • Commendations should not be limited the odd way they are. • Destiny should allow us to 'mark' teammates we want to give commendations to at the end of the match/activity - then later we just decide which commendation fits • commendations should not be incentivized if you want those commendations to mean ANYTHING I would like to keep the system if its made to work more intelligently. But Bungie being lazy af seems to be 'the new black'. So I they will be way to lazy to actually make [i]inteligent[/i] changes to it. [b][i]Gunship[/i][/b]

          • ranks are stupid and so are the obnoxious challenges commendations were a stupid idea, which i have been speaking out against since they were introduced and what makes them worse, is the extremely poor selection and people farming commendations with friends

            • Yep. Could be good in game indicator of skill/experience of are guardian. If some hunter main tells you that he did that raid every week but he's at level 4 - he's lying.

            • Rework suggestions: - Commend during a match - Commend teammates and opponents - Commend unlimited amount of times - Stimulate commendations by requiring 10000 commendations given for a chance of and exotic engram - - Make it 100000 for guardian rank 12.

            • Ranks are fine. I believe the commendation ones don’t reset each season (they don’t appear to have blue outlines and resetting commendation rank each season doesn’t make sense) making them more aspirational content. Each season getting easier. Commendations (especially the pain points) appear to be getting some fixes next week. Didn’t launch well. Neither really mean anything so…

            • I like tanks but not commendations. They should reduce commendation requirements. Divide them by 10.

I don't know who was doing good and who wasn't on my team and I don't even get enough time to check everybody score at the end of the game before it's too late to give the accommodations. It's like they wanted to implement a stupid all the kids get a trophy gets a trophy system and make it matter but the only way to make it matter subsequently ruined the idea. They should take out all the requirements and work on making the accommodations something people enjoy just for bragging rights. Once they do that they might be able to find a way to implement it in a way that matters.
