This is my first poll/petition post, and I'd like to address the issue of Faction Shaders.
Many of you know I have been here quite awhile but I usually keep to myself. I started out with a Human Titan and focused on ranking up with Dead Orbit to get the shaders, but since then I created an Exo Titan and I've started over.
The other night after inspecting a player to see what their incredible orange and black armor was, I found out they were using the Sunsetter, which is being sold by Eris. While I think this is a fantastic idea, I can't understand why we aren't allowed to buy shaders from the various factions when we've already seen screenshots of the factions selling them. I do understand that people have paid for The Dark Below, so yes, there are a few perks, but what about those of us who just want black, white or another Faction shader?
I direct you to the attached link for Reddit, where players are discussing the Dead Orbit shaders which look incredible on the Vanguard Titan.
Seriously, take a look at those images. They are amazing...
The fact that many of them have reached Rank 20 or more and have received only one or none at all, I just can't understand why we aren't able to just buy them after Rank 5 or something like that. There are screenshots of this online showing them being sold, I believe from the Beta. Is that really fair to the players at Rank 24 or 18 to be that highly ranked and receive nothing while others do?
Feel free to add or share your thoughts on this. And let's try to keep things civil...
EDIT: Due to numerous suggestions, and because I am in agreement, Rank 15 would be totally acceptable to make shaders for purchase. Please sign my petition asking Bungie to please allow factions to sell the shaders at Rank 15. Thank you.
UPDATE 1: Many people here have suggested a higher rank to purchase shaders, such as Rank 10-15. I find this to be an acceptable option.
UPDATE 2: As of February 21st, 1:30am, I finally reached Rank 10 with Dead Orbit. I received a Commendation and Ascendant Energy. I received no Dead Orbit Shaders of any kind.
UPDATE 3: As of February 24st, 11:55pm, I reached Rank 11 with Dead Orbit. I received a Commendation and a Strange Coin. I received no Dead Orbit Shaders of any kind.
UPDATE 4: Around the beginning of March, I reached Rank 12 with Dead Orbit. I received a Commendation and the Auto Rifle, which I already have. I received no Dead Orbit Shaders of any kind.
UPDATE 5: As of April 2nd, I am at Rank 18 with Dead Orbit, and still no shaders have been rewarded.
UPDATE 6: Around May 1st, 2015, I reached rank 22 with Dead Orbit. I received no shaders of any kind.
Do you guys see where I'm going with the Updates? How much time invested is too much to get nothing, or get the same weapons, emblems and so forth awarded over and over again? And for those you being insulting, calling me a "Christmas Noob" and so forth, I've been playing since launch, and I've had multiple characters and classes. All I have now is a new Titan.
UPDATE: Wow! Over 3,000 votes for "Hell Yes!" You guys are awesome! Let's get this trending!
UPDATE: I'm seeing a lot of angry Guardians here, saying "No! I earned my faction shaders!" Unfortunately, I have bad news for you: You're not special. You've earned nothing. You got lucky with the RNG. You're also hypocrites. I'll explain:
If you're one of the angry players here saying no to purchasing shaders, and you ranked up with FWC in order to buy a weapon, you're a hypocrite. If you ranked up with Lord Shaxx to buy a piece of Crucible armor, you're a hypocrite. Did you play in the Iron Banner to rank up to buy items? Guess what... You ranked up with various groups in order to reach a level to purchase items. Buying shaders is no different than buying a helmet or an auto rifle. How many of you have the Sunsetter shader? If you're one of the several angry players saying no to buying shaders from other factions, and you're wearing any shaders sold by Eris, you're a hypocrite.
From what I've seen, House of Wolves is going to be doing the same exact thing: Allowing you to rank up to purchase items.
I have a feeling that the angry players here who are saying "No!" are the same people who make other players feel like crap for purchasing items from Xur. It's just a hunch...

It won't happen. So no

No this would completely ruin them i hate this community everyone just wants everything handed to them it is sad.
-
They should sell shader but it should be way past rank 15. Maybe try 30
-
1 RispondiModificato da mattnozz: 9/10/2015 10:33:45 AMWell there is 3 shaders for each faction isn't there? I would prefer getting one of the shaders after reaching certain levels, one at 15, another at 25 and the last at 30, followed by a unique emblem and class item showing you have reached the optimal rank for that faction.
-
No its fine the way is
-
That makes them not as cool
-
3 RisposteI personally like the shaders being hard to get tbh. Now, in terms of RNG I do not think that is the correct way. But perhaps at certain ranks of Faction you obtain a quest which initially should be challenging but doable, so the first few shaders come easy. However their should be a top end high rank shader that requires an incredibly difficult feat to be accomplished, flawless raider being a good standard of difficulty. This would be my preferred way of shader collecting. Time and skill is required.
-
Way higher like rank 75
-
No, just no. I want to have stuff to work for. Not everything needs to be handed over on a silver platter.
-
No, they're already making them easier to drop no need to make them any easier to get.
-

Maybe instead of buying them, they should give every faction a bounty of sorts and make it a really long one. They should make it so at the end of this bounty you get the shader or something. I hate grinding when playing Destiny because I feel sometimes it takes the fun out of the game, you can sit there for 1500hrs and have nothing to show for it...

Modificato da iAmSterLz: 8/15/2015 9:51:10 PMI got bittersteel at rank 5 ;)

You have my vote.
-
Rank 49 NM DO like 26 or something. Get your level game up ppl
-
I agree but 15 is to low that takes a month to get and you have them all
-
In the alpha we could buy faction shaders and they were very nice, why not now...
-
6 RisposteThey are rare shaders work for them like everyone else lazy ass.
-
What about the ship? I already have all the dead orbit ones
-
5 RisposteStill don't think it would be very great to just be able to buy it at certain ranks. If you just made it possible to just purchase them, it would make things too easy. Then EVERYONE would just have them. I mean seriously, it's like whenever Xur sold a certain exotic, you would see it everywhere for the next week or two at least. And no, people who bought the stuff from each faction and such aren't being hypocrites. What you clearly don't see is the fact that weapons and helmets are necessities to each person's build. If you didn't make weapons or equipment purchasable, then the advancement rate of guardians would be much slower and a lot of people would easily quick early on because Destiny would become another grindfest. Buying shaders from Eris is not hypocritical because the max rank is 4 and you don't even get packages from her anyway. Plus you can't even get any kind of weapon other than the fusion rifle from the story quests. It would be a bit hypocritical to be against buying shaders and buying them from the Queen since there is no rank cap. Like said, it isn't hypocritical to buy weapons and armors since a shader is NOT a necessity. It doesn't enhance your character in any way and is basically a trophy. And before you start saying crap, my warlock is rank 12 FWC with no shader, Titan got his first shader in NM at rank 10, and my Hunter didn't get his first shader until the House of Wolves came out with a DO rank of about 43. As of now, I've invested nearly an entire month of gameplay into Destiny and I've had my fair share of times to get screwed over by the RNG so quit complaining, stop expecting guarantees, and get over it.

Modificato da Tri0nx: 7/6/2015 9:21:55 AMMake it 20 and we got a deal.
-
Think there should be a rank 15 shader, a rank 20 shader, and a rank 25 shader. There should also be emblems for those ranks, not just all the emblems available at rank 3.
-
1 RispondiAdd faction Sparrows to the loot drop from packages
-
1 Rispondi15 seems like an arbitrary number, I'm guessing you just hit 15 with some faction and got pissy that none of the shaders dropped
-
I like the idea. But how about running it like IB where certain ranks unlock a shader for purchase? That way everyone can get the shaders, though I know some people won't like that because they may have to work harder to level up even more just to get the one they want or that it may make certain ones a lot more common.
