    This week at Bungie, we lit the Iron Banner again. So we will hide until the event is over before we tell you we made a "mistake" again for the umpteenth time. Even though Barrett said [quote]We recognize that the scales are tipped too far towards Tess at the moment, and Eververse was never intended to be a substitute for end game content and rewards. So, we’ll be making three changes for upcoming Seasons: [b](We’re shifting the balance of new content in favor of (activity rewards over Bright Engrams.)[/b] This includes adding Ghosts, Sparrows, and ships (to date found only in Bright Engrams) to achievement reward pools. [b](We'll provide a gameplay path to earn Bright Engrams and all contained rewards (including Event Engrams).[/b] We’ll give players more direct purchase options and make adjustments to Bright Engrams to allow players to get the items they want more often.[/quote] Yeah, you gave the option to a direct purchase but you still locked it from [b]" a gameplay path to earn it".[/b] Part of my point about this is the quote below. How is this earning the player base trust saying one thing but doing the complete opposite. [quote]We have a bit of ground to cover. We have trust to earn, and player sentiment to improve.[/quote] So what message are you sending here Bungie?

      I'm going to try to collect all the thoughts I have about this Faction Rally change into a single post. It really comes down to one question: Why? Faction Rallies already felt like a broken (as in not working, not overpowered) way to implement the factions after D1. Instead of being able to grind for the faction rewards we wanted at will, we had to condense it all into one week. Okay fine, it wasn't great, but we managed. But why did you then feel the need to restrict our choice AGAIN on how and when we worked for it? To make it a "meaningful" choice? That's a loaded term there. Meaningful does not always mean good, or beneficial. It feels like an entirely artificial choice really. To make one choice "meaningful" you took away something more important- the ability of the player to play the event how we wanted. You realized your idea for changing how factions worked was boring. But to fix it, it seems you instead said "hey, what if we took out any flexibility we had in the system and still kept it as boring as possible?" If Faction Rallies were a system [i]on top[/i] of what we had in Destiny 1, and this system was implemented in a way say, we could only choose one faction for any points we accumulated during the rally to count for, then that'd be one thing. But as it stands they are our only chance to get faction loot in this game, and we were restricted to a week it at a time. Now you are further narrowing the timeframe we can get that by restricting it to one faction per account. Didn't get everything you wanted from DO the first event? Too bad! You'd be stuck in it if you pledged again and would miss out on the third faction. I've never accumulated enough rewards packages over an entire Season to hit Rank 50, let alone one Rally. Rallies are not a dynamic or skill-based feature, they are a timesink pure and simple. This alone is why your desire to make Faction Rally rewards not just another layer of rewards rings hollow. You are not respecting your players' time by doing this. Instead, you are punishing one group of players to ensure a small minority of heavy grinders can't get all the rewards in one week. But I'll actually admit it. [i]I don't care about the catalysts[/i]. Maybe that'll actually make the event easier to deal with, since I won't have to grind as much with each faction to get what I want. I'm even willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that the new system for accelerating token rewards helps! But make no mistake, this new choice is awful. And depending how it's finally implemented I might just skip making this meaningful choice completely.

    • Bungie, you have multiple audiences telling you different things. You have: • People who want D1 back • People who want more D2 You have split your community down the middle, trying to address and please both ends of the stick. Instead of confusing people to believe this game shows a representation of “skill”, or lying saying this game respects player investment and time, or even trying to empty the wallets of the few active players, just stop. Stop acting like everything is normal and ok. You may have great plans, but [b]we know nothing and don’t have much trust left[/b]

    • https://youtu.be/j0FFfWSwRGg Wormhusk is OP and needs to be toned down or everything else needs to be buffed up. Dodge cool down 12-20 seconds or even instant with certain subclass perks. Warlock grenade or rift 60-90 seconds. Titan barricade 30 sec at most and crest of alpha lupi DOES NOT start health regen. You get like 1/4 your health back and have to wait 3-5 seconds for health regen.

      • Fix heroic strikes please! Sick and tired of not being able to progress in a stroke because it has bugged out and won't let us continue. Got stuck on the ogre part of the Nokris strike. Nothing was spawning. We had to just leave in the end. Fix your game!!!

        • Will you please look into the drop rate of strike specific exotic catalysts. They do not drop, this week came out at the beginning of the month, now we are at that end of the month and still none. If it is rng then please up the drop rate. I might believe that it has to do with rng but you admit that the DFA is bugged, then these could be bugged too

        • No content even an Emote should be locked behind a paywall. [u]ALL[/u] the other items are available in game. I would never personally give Bungie any more of my money. They have taken too much of it already. The mere fact they did it shows the contempt they have for their customers. For a company trying to build goodwill this is a step backwards. So stay classy Guardians Just my 2 cents.

            Let me show you how it's done Cozmo. [b][i]This week at Bungie, we flipped the switch[/i][/b] Effective immediately, all activities have matchmaking as standard. Please be aware that some activities require advanced teamwork so take this into account when matchmaking for endgame activities. [i] [b]Iron Bananna[/b][/i] Lord Saladin is back and along with it, one of your favorite maps, Bannerfall! For those brave enough to conquer the Iron Lords, you shall be rewarded. Higher rank package rewards include a new exotic emote and an Iron Banner themed shader with unlimited use. We have also added in an iron aura for reaching rank 30. Good luck. [i][b]Escalation Protocol[/b][/i] We've heard your feedback on EP being challenging with a team of 3 and we agree! We have implemented a new matchmaking instance for patrols. At EP you will now find a rally flag. Activating the flag will now match you with other teams of 3 who are ready and waiting! We have also added Rasputin themed ghost and sparrow for you to find, although very rare. Good luck. [i][b]Community Polls[/b][/i] Starting from next week, we will be running a new poll on the forums every week so we can see what you would like added to the game. It's simple, the one with the most votes gets our full attention! (Insert MOTW here) (Insert random cat pic here) That's it for this week my friends, be sure to vote on the poll coming Monday and see you next week! Please feel free to get me on Twitter, Insta or whatever you like if you have any questions or suggestions. Make U Meow (Best Community Manager 2018) [spoiler]This took me 15 minutes. Imagine what I could do in a week.[/spoiler]

                • Hey Cozmo, do me a favor and tell the update team how much I appreciate them breaking my game for me. I was starting to enjoy playing D2 again, and we can't have that now can we? Thanks man.

                  Exotics should be powerful and not 10 power levels lower than your character.

                        • Horrible twabb. Honestly i do agree there are a lot of trolls here and some times players ask things that are unreasonable. But being fair, 99% of what you guys at bungie are going throu its because of your own incompetencel I am really glad all the people that takes decisions and make the big calls at bungie decided to study system engineering, the guys at the financial deparment and the marketers thank you. If by any chance you guys would have studied medicine or maybe chose to be civil engineer many people would be dead by now by whatever stvpid decision you would have made. Either a patient dying and you prescripting grape juicy or a building falling appart and you guys using bandaids to keep it toguether. So thank you and thank the fate that kept you guys making video games and nothing that endangers life.

                          • So what your saying is EP is only for end game players if this is the case that means you expect us to grind out weekly milestones and raids to raise our light level to even participate in that event. Sounds like a lame excuse to cover up your lack of content and throttled rewards. Oh and by the way nice reskins for iron banner really didnt see that coming. The reason people complain so much is cause they know this game has great potential and hate to see their money being thrown in the trash.
