Destiny 2: Warmind |OT| Mars Attacks!
- Thread starter ImperatorPat
- Start date
Figures I take a week off destiny and the faction rally starts. I even checked the events section in the official site, and it didn't mention it!
But it's been only a month since the last faction rally, right? Will there be more than three rallies total before Forsaken drops?

My vault contains most of the unique guns (Raid, Iron Banner, Exotics, Factions), Exotic Armor, Blue Mods & Transmats.
Since Armor itself does jack shit in this game and was not unique like D1 there is zero reason to hoard any of it
Here's some fun nostalgia:
The world's first Atheon kill - funny to see the guns they're using and how they're doing the fight compared to how we usually do it

I have to say the grind this time around definitely feels more oppressive. Bungie really does an excellent job of making me not want to play the game sometimes the new faction rallies feel like such a slog. You would think these would be a great way of getting people to log back on but they go and make it the most boring thing ever. I might not even bother with the sunshot catalyst I never use that gun anyway. Will probably just run EP for the sniper instead cuz faction rally sucks. Renown was a good idea but putting the catalyst at level 50 is just LUL
Who the fuck is Fenchurch? Why does she keep mentioning this person? It drives me up a wall how much she doesn't shut the fuck up about this name. I hate listening to everyone in the tower, but Tess is just the worst.
Faction Rally was probably their attempt at keeping players logged in. It clearly isnt working - though it is a step in the right direction - but they will probably refine it more in Season 4 / Forsaken.
The world is changing Van Bur3n, you must prepare and adapt

I thought the majority of r/DTG preferred static burns (I know I do)?

so eater of worlds prestige was delayed to july so that they could put in modifiers and loadouts, and NOT include per-encounter changes.

LOL Faction Rally begins 2 weeks later. Sheesh
Ok, that is interesting. I'm down with it
Lol, here come the paid recovs for Redrix

even though i'm hating the prestige raid news, the shader stuff and collections news is awesome
freedom for my vault which is at like 295/300

It's really not that bad if you avoid the mind-numbing and boring grind or farm of the Titan or EDZ loop.
I've done the Daily Faction Challenges and Milestones (to mix up the game modes and avoid monotony on each character) while just naturally running into tokens here or there (destination scannables, etc) and I'm approaching 800 tokens with zero grind or farming.
Tying Catalysts to Factions removes the foundation of what the factions are supposed to be to the players in the first place, it was an awful decision. Without the Catalysts though no one would care about this event so with that it still remains a complete and utter failure to me.

Next faction rally 2 weeks after this one ends....and I'm travelling again. Guess that's 1/3 rallies I get to participate in. Stupid Bungo....those catalysts better be easily accessible in year 2
I'm curious how truly competitive it will be near the 2100 glory range. Also that guy that you and igor and such faced the other night while igor was streaming that had like 4k glory but a 0.8 K/D is gonna be in for a bad time.
On the contrary, I'm very much looking forward to them. It's a good way to spice up the encounters, and it's only limiting you to a weapon archetype - still opens up a lot of potential for interesting loadouts.
It's a great way to offer content replayability and focus on the strengths of the game - the shooting and the sandbox, rather than invest into tougher, more complicated mechanics for already mechanic heavy lair(s).
Good job Bungie!
Mid-july the focus is on the prestige lairs and crucible changes, then end of july is the summer event - so the idea is to be done with factions and IB before the new stuff comes in.
Summer event will kick off barely a month before Forsaken, and if the Armsweek API stuff is accurate, should last for multiple weeks.

I like it but also feel like it would be better if you had to get 75 points to win rather than 100.
I've never particularly liked it, mostly because it's a reskin of Kill Confirmed, or Headhunter if you want to stay in the Halo tracks, but it's fun to thwart other teams by playing the objective and making sure to deny crests ASAP and grab crests instead of sitting back and sniping. I've had multiple games over the past couple of weeks where I have a 100% Crest recovery rate.
It's just too long.

I don't really like Supremacy but I get the point. It forces you more to CQC and CQC loadouts (in theory, in practice Graviton is best for every range currently). Whereas clash people can just sit back the whole time, Clash orients more to scout rifles (or in this meta, more Graviton). For a passive lane player like me Supremacy forces me out of my comfort zone a bit.
OTOH Control also forces a degree of CQC (fighting over zones) compared to clash so it's not like that aspect completely goes away.
I'm a bit torn, without Supremacy it's only clash and control which doesn't seem varied.
OTOH, at the end of the day I don't really like Supremacy so, yeah.
For the most part I love it and always have #resist.
Not that I wont do more than my share of complaining about it's warts...
loadouts are ok if they're only one of the prestige modes. more mechanics are what has been the standard for all of destiny, and now they're getting rid of that.
what i'm more puzzled by is why it took them seven months (EoW release in December last year), if all they're really doing is restricting loadouts and adding modifiers on a rotating basis.
I'm personally tired of playing tag. Spend more time chasing and looking for enemies than actual gunplay. 4v4 is garbage no matter what map or mode. 6v6 is a lot better.
I'm just not a fan of devs telling me how to play their game, especially a game that is meant to give players ample agency
No one asked for this. In fact, there was a lot of backlash. I'd rather see new mechanics, instead of waiting months for a handicap that could have been implemented in a week or so. It's a half assed means of making things more "interesting". Make it a separate thing for shits and giggles.
And catalysts being "rare" drops. Let's see how much of a shit show that RNG is.
I fully expect the Prestige catalysts to be a ~1% drop rate like everything else. If that.
I don't mind the idea of curated loadouts as a modifier. As an ever present thing, I dunno. I think the novelty dies the first week the loadout is Sidearm/SMG/Fusion Rifle. I guess challenge modes are dead after Calus too. They never really talk about them and they've certainly never brought up a challenge for Eater or Spire. I was fully expecting months ago that no one could cook and shoot a head in Eater, and figured Spire would be none of the empowered people could go up into space more than one time in a phase. Ah well. At least there's no relearning or reteaching anything.
I'll probably be so burnt out by the end of Faction Rally that I'll take a break til Forsaken anyway.

This is literally the coolest looking Warlock outfit. We need more rustic and urban looking Warlock sets that look more like dusters and overcoats. Too much of these fancy looking robes.
Sunshot catalyst ain't too bad either, because Sunshot is a top tier PVE weapon. Unless you play a whole lot of PVP where you definitely want that GL catalyst, its not too big of a loss.
I don't see myself taking part in the third faction rally. Already struggling to force myself through this one for FWC. Don't really care for NM and the Sweet Business catalyst.
