So who's ready for the faction rallies?
I know I'm not.
Seriously, I've been onboard since D1 day 1, and of all the things that have been done in/to this franchise, changing the faction rallies into a one week grindfest is easily my least favorite.
We went from competing with one another to get some decent gear, and rep our favorite factions, to being forced to grind for an exotic catalyst, [b]OR ELSE[/b], especially since Bungie has put in the descriptions for these items that they are [i]seasonal[/i] rewards, but has yet to come forwards and tell us whether these items will be added to the RNG loot pool once the season is over.
I'm okay with missing out on an armor skin, or an emblem, because I have other responsibilities besides games, but basically having to devote 10-12 hours of what is usually only one day off to a repetitive, mindless grind in order to unlock a limited-time item that actually affects gameplay is just insane.
Personally, I think you should either still be able to grind tokens and contribute to your personal faction ranks during victory week, or the long-term, high-rank items should be obtainable outside of the rallies to give those who have more to do than just play games all day a chance at getting those rewards.
After all, what point is there in "bringing back the hobby" if all the good stuff is only available for one week, or even one season? If there's no realistically obtainable long term goals, there's almost no point in putting yourself through the grind required to obtain them.

I've never seen a bigger bunch of whingers...

5 RespuestasIts pretty fun. Definitely gives me something to do and the ornaments look cool.
-
25 RespuestasHoly crap there’s a lot of whiners in this forum. I’m enjoying it. I really like the challenge of renown. It’s a grind, yes. If I have time to do it, great. If not, all the power to those that do.

Editado por StayPeachy: 6/28/2018 7:19:03 AMTotally ready, surpassed rank 50 for Dead Orbit. Now it's time for the sunshot 😤 Rank 50 only takes a couple days if you utilize all three characters.
-
SunShot-Done GL- Done(need cosmology kills) Sweet Business- Probably won’t even bother.

1 RespuestaI am but im also confused why we have another so close to the last one two in june when there will only be three for this season so we get one more between now and Forsaken seems like bad pacing to me

7 RespuestasEditado por WormChi: 6/27/2018 6:28:52 AMWhile I do like the rewards I agree that the catalyst grind is bs. You should be able to choose. I hit rank 575 FWC in D1. Now I have to grind DO because I like Graviton (I’ve been using it since before the buff because I like the design). Makes me feel dirty betraying FWC.
-
I am or I should say it doesn't mean that much to me. I've stubbornly committed to New Monarchy since destiny 1 with all 3 characters. I see no reason to change it now lol.
-
3 RespuestasI just like reading the negative posts for this game. It’s nearly a full time job.
-
Hitting rank 50. The very concept of that shows how trash this game is and how there is so little content that they made ranking up factions a content. So cheap!! So bungie.
-
I did around 2400 tokens last rally. Ps4 and pc. It was hell. A mindless circle it got to the point I got my 1000 and didn't realize it. Just kept going like a brainless zombie. The factions are not fun. Renown sucks, it should only effect you in lost sectors because that's the only place it is worth having. If I'm not doing lost sectors and I get renown I have to die to get rid of it. It's annoying as hell. And the whole one faction per account is ridiculous.
-
They turned factions from a legit feelings of being sponsored. To chore
-
2 RespuestasI still don’t understand why they changed how factions worked from D1 in the first place. There was nothing wrong with them! You gained rep as you naturally played the game, and there was no rush to get to a certain rank. You could simply play the game how you wanted and get some cool stuff on the side. Now, it’s a week-long event where you have a quite short amount of time to grind for stuff you want. If you happen to miss out, well, you’re not getting all three catalysts. Why can’t we have it back the way D1 was? Every time we complete a crucible match, strike, or something, you get a couple tokens for the faction you pledged to. This would fix most of the problems. You could still keep the “winner weapons” by just looking at the rankups for one week and see who got the most. I should not be writing long posts like this when I’m tired. But I’m doing it!

5 RespuestasEditado por Dark Raven 2501: 6/27/2018 8:14:23 PMThe rewards suck & no powerful engrams so why should I bother with this
-
These will definitely be obtainable after season 3. Count on it. If they came out and said it now people would care less about the rallies.
-
Editado por Soul_Eater_42: 6/27/2018 4:05:40 PMI kinda hope that, when Forsaken arrives, Bungie reworks the whole Faction Rally event into a PvPvE activity like the new Gambit mode. 3 teams--one from each Faction--competing against each other in a PvE environment.
-
2 RespuestasWell I had to work a bunch last rally and this rally I only get three days to play due to vacation. It is pretty stupid that it is a timed event. I should be able to earn tokens all season.
-
I’m at 223...three day vacation...go ham over the weekend...cry on Tuesday
-
Editado por Verke0: 6/27/2018 4:48:07 PMI did the last faction rally and grinded my ass of. I dont want to go through that again, so -blam!- this shit, I’m out. I dont feel rewarded for my time enough to play public -blam!-ing events and lost -blam!-ing sectors for three days straight. So again, -blam!- this shit Bungie, Im out
-
Pledged to dead orbit for the first time since D1 an I’m 35 ranks away from the catalyst for graviton
-
So don't participate. It's not like you're going to miss anything.
-
Grind is good. Just make it a little bit more interesting. Monster hunter pulls this off very well, drop rates of items like 5-1% are grindy, but at least the grind isnt the mindless repetitive grind we have in D2.
-
Editado por BwA Blitz: 6/27/2018 2:24:59 PMI didn't have enough time to get to 50 in the last one so had to pledge DO again to finish up. I'd really like to get all three but it's not going to happen and that's ok . Not everybody needs to get everything. Props to the players with the patience and time to grind, you deserve all 3 catalysts.
-
its annoying cuz the token grind is just a repetitive dumb way of grind through patrols and public events I feel like am wasting a lot of time to do a repetitive unexciting thing to get the catalyst
-
2 RespuestasI had to pledge to future war cult this morning in order to chase the catalyst. Having six or so previous pledges to dead orbit in this gane and being mainly dead orbit in destiny i found myself puking in my mouth a little. What a stupid event.
-
2 RespuestasThe big issue with faction rallies is they are simply dull. Public event, bounty, bounty, lost sector. Repeat. To get ornaments for FWC you need to kill vex with golden gun. Seriously? Someone thought [i]that[/i] would be fun?!? It's also frustrating if you ever try to do escalation protocol. If you get a round where you need to do the public event you see everyone just hurling themselves off the cliffs multiple times. Its really lazy.
