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...

Pretty sure I got mine at lvl 9. It's just more RNG based bullshit man, thought folk would be used to thus shit by now. You should petition to get rid of RNG, it's where all the problems with the game begin. Excluding the lack of content that is.
-
Bump :)
-
-
It's better if they don't sell them, I would rather not see everyone wearing the same shader it took me forever to rank up and get. Do bounties everyday and rank up you'll get a shader and feel really good when you do.
-
Lol i got the new monarhy shader at lvl 8, my friend is 36 dead orbit without one, but i disagree its the only truely rare thing in the game even ghorn is owned by everyone.
-
No one would give a shit if they weren't rare

Modificato da snowmanflurry: 4/3/2015 3:38:57 AMRank 32 on my Warlock [spoiler]Nothing[/spoiler]
-
How about rank [i]5[/i]?
-
Nah, it'd make them less exclusive
-
-
Ive gotten 3 shaders and a ship in about 60-70 rank ups. (Yes I know I play too much ;-;)
-
From what I've read, a lot of people are all about static goals. Those who aren't also have an excellent point, that the work they've put in would be a waste if you can just buy the shaders. So, the higher the better. Levels ranging from 50-100, so the shaders wouldn't come easy. Would also encourage the grind for the people that really want those vanity items.
-
Maybe not 10....maybe like 15 (but no higher than 20) and then every so many levels a new one unlocks (so you could buy Amalthea from NM at rank 15, Nefertiti AK at rank 25, etc)
-
1 RispondiI wont be a special snowflake if this happens :(
-
I think it should work similar to how it does now but you are guaranteed shaders every X levels Every rank after 3 should have a chance to give you a shader like now but at 10 or whenever you are guaranteed a shader, then 15 or 20, 30 etc Once you get the shader for the first time it becomes available to purchase(with strange coins?)
-
revenant at rank 10 whats good!!
-
No, because then it would just be like Xür, everyone would have everything.
-
yes please! I don't play enough to get all to lv 30+ for shaders, 10 is realistic to some extent.
-
Signed. Petition for the chance to purchase ships at rank 25 maybe?
-
1 RispondiYa 5 is a little early, I think 10? And I feel that you should only be able to buy ONE every ten levels. So ya still would leave work to put in but at least you wouldn't ever have to go 20 levels without getting anything you want...
-
Rank 39 im Dead Orbit and no shader yet... Hit rank 12 in FWC and got Babylol 9191!! Thank you, FWC
-
10 is a bit too low, maybe 20? I would also like to see some new unique faction class items instead of a retextured one.
-
Earn your shit scrub.
-
1 RispondiGoing to hit rank 10 in DO tomorrow. RNGesus has been kind to me lately so I'm praying I get a shader. But yes I'd like the factions to follow the Eris Morn model.
-
Rank 47 Combined between all my characters, my hunter being the highest at 26, still no shaders. Black and white are my favorite colors/combo, but its really irritating sometimes.
