Commendations - We need to Talk...Guardian Ranks, I'll get to you in a minute
Issues this feedback addresses
- Commendations feel hollow
- Commendations feel like too much of a grind
- Commendations don't accurately capture who I am as a guardian
- Commendations are convoluted and I have no idea what I am handing out

FEEDBACK
Commendations are now AUTOMATIC and are untethered from guardian ranks. Guardian Ranks should only require feats (including PVP, yes I said it).
Commendations fall into one of three color coded categories
- Blue/Legend of Zavala (objective based accolades: most zones captured)
- Red/Legend of Ikorra (damage based: most kills, most damage)
- Green/Legend of Cayde (life of the party stats: most assists, revives)
Lastly, auto commendations will also unlock one skin/shader after a player has reached the required threshold.
Players also get access to one manual commendation at the end of an activity per player. Manual commendations fall into the same three color codes:
- Blue/Legend of Zavala - Given to guardians who exemplified leadership
- Red/Legend of Ikorra - Given to guardians who exemplified exceptional battle skill
- Green/Legend of Cayde - Given to guardians who exemplified high fashion (lol) or humor
Manual commendations do not give points, but instead can dictate what color a guardians rank (6) is above their heads. Players will be able to choose whether they want their automatic commendation color to show or their manual commendation color to show.
Anyways - just some thoughts! Be safe out there Guardians!

1 RispondiHo boy do I agree with this. Commendations is half baked at best, and it’s tied to Guardian Ranks, which is insanely frustrating. 2 commendations to give out with Gambit and Crucible? Ok so now let me check the screen to see how everyone scored. Whoops, took too much time, now I can’t hand anything out. I’ll try again. Next round over, it’ll gotta do this quicker. Oh, thoughtful and joy filled? I mean they killed other enemies, not sure how I can mark someone as thoughtful. It’s thoughtful of them to kill enemies so they don’t kill me. But then that always happens, so it’s always thoughtful for everyone. Ok now I gotta hand out…..2? But there’s 5 others in this crucible match? Long story short, why was this system put in place to begin with in such a state that it makes it almost unusable? Did no one have a round table talk about this and actually go through what works and what doesn’t before implementing it? I’m just beside myself with it. And then to tie it to Guardian Ranks? Who thought of that?!?!? My god….and I’ve never been overly critical of this game. I’ve loved it from the beginning. But what’s been given, guys have more meetings please.
