Hello Bungie and Guardians :) First of all, I would like to say I appreciate everyone's work for trying to make this game as good as Destiny was on its last year. But I was really disappointed to see that the Faction Rally event would be coming back with such drastic changes. What I loved on D1 was the fact that all of my characters belonged to a faction and had their own little story and background as to why they pledge to one of them. I also loved completing bounties and knowing that I could rank up with them whenever I felt like it. On D2, I absolutely hate going to the tower and see the Faction gurus inactive, just waiting for that stupid event to drop and only be available for a week, 3 times over the course of a few months. I'd love to see the D1 system come back. For example: - Factions are available throughout the whole season. - Unlimited ranks with random drops for shaders and emblems. - Reaching rank 30 gives you an armor catalyst. - Reaching rank 60 gives you a weapon catalyst. - You rank up by completing specific quests they give you, and doing daily and weekly bounties. That way we could tap into the story and history of these factions and maybe make the loot even sweater if we know there is some kind of lore behind the items. - Weekly events would still be a thing for one week, 3 times during a season. The tokens collected during that weekly solely go for the purpose of earning a weapon and making sure our faction wins. We can only pledge to one faction for that week. - The renown stuff is good, though I think it should be rewarding the player rather than punishing them for stacking. Renown is only available during the weekly event but only works to collect tokens for your faction rather than ranking up your own rank with the said faction. - We would have to select which faction we want to pledge to for that week. At the end of the week, progression is saved for the weekly event as well as the regular faction ranks and we get to reassign factions to our characters if we want to. Please, don't forget we are not all streamers or staying home playing the game. Most of us cannot spend a full week grinding the event to get that catalyst. What if we miss a week because of real life stuff? Don't punish us for playing, simply offer more options to get what we want in a respectable time frame. Would love to discuss more :)
