Hello Guardians,

Focused Feedback is where we take the week to focus on a 'Hot Topic' discussed extensively around the Tower.

We do this in order to consolidate Feedback, to get out all your ideas and issues surrounding the topic in one place for discussion and a source of feedback to the Vanguard.

This Thread will be active until next week when a new topic is chosen for discussion

Whilst Focused Feedback is active, ALL posts regarding ‘Season 3 Faction Rally' following its posting will be removed and re-directed to this thread

Any and all Feedback on the topic is welcome.

Regular Sub rules apply so please try to keep the conversation on the topic of the thread and keep it civil between contrasting ideas

A Wiki page - Focused Feedback - has also been created for the Sub as an archive for these topics going forward so they can be looked at by whoever may be interested or just a way to look through previous hot topics of the Sub as time goes on.

Ways I would like factions (not just rally) to be improved: Factions should always be active, with 1-3 tokens for them from various activities alongside other reputation. Faction Rally week should be the week to grind and make bug progress. Bring in the renown system and let people grind hard. Allow the Faction Rally to be a chance to switch faction and refresh vendor stock. Keep the weapon rewards etc. I also think rank 50 should reward a choice of the three catalysts. I believe these changes would a) make choices meaningful because you are locked in for the next 4 weeks, and b) be fitting because the rally seems a good time for the factions to ‘incentivise’ recruitment through their weapons and vendor stock change. Not sure about account based or character based. Account based prevents grinding out all 3 after one rally, and limits player freedom. Character based offers more freedom but at the cost of people potentially running out of things to do - bungie currently seems in favour of stopping that.

Why do you say that account based factions joing in promotes player freedom? For example if it was account based I would have logged into my Hunter to farm up a few dead orbit shaders then ground out my NM tokens on my warlock for the rest of the week. I'm not looking to be obtuse but I think if anything the account based would limit your freedom, no?

Sorry, I wrote this from bed. I meant character based promotes freedom, account based restricts it. Have now edited the original.
