PROS

  • Great grind with visible rewards

  • Individual purchasable rewards

  • Lost sectors relevant again

  • Love the renown make patrol heroic

  • Super awesome 'aura'

CONS

  • Heroic Strikes should grant 10 tokens instead of 7 (thanks /u/colorajoe)

  • Raids need higher token rewards per non lair encounter (10 to 15)

  • Raid Lair encounters should give 5 tokens

  • Crucible needs higher token rewards per game (10)

  • Gear bug

  • Ornaments need to not rely on a full gear set

  • Faction ornaments for exotics didnt count that exotic as a piece of faction armor

IMPROVEMENTS

  • ALLOW A CHOICE OF CATALYSTS AT RANK 50 INSTEAD OF TYING THEM TO A PARTICULAR FACTION

  • Make emblem grant special aura when you hit 50 for the season

  • Make renown active ONLY when using the emblem for a faction

  • More tokens in non-patrol activities

  • Gear bug needs to be fixed ASAP

Like how concise your list is. Agree with just about every point. Would also throw in that Heroic Strikes need a big bump.

Purchased gear bug needs an immediate fix - or the ability to move armor between classes, or allow an exchange of one classes' gear for another. (Turn in titan boots for hunter boots, etc.). With that fix, I think you can remove the ornaments obtained from a full set.

Good point on the immediate fix for gear. I thought I had mentioned it there, but I edited to reflect that. Thanks!

You got it in the Cons - just thought it worth highlighting. I had to resort to Titan farming cause armor RNG is a bitch. Otherwise my dailies and just 'playing the game' would have gotten me to 50 this week no problem. With Renown as important as it is, finding a way to fill in a gear set is crucial. Great job!

I was one of the guys who played too much before, so I had all the sets from seasons 1 and 2. Though I do feel the pain for those who did not have such luck and continued to be stifled by RNG on a gear set.

I also thought 50 was a really good ceiling for gear/items because as you said, it was easy to reach by 'just playing' barring the frustration of ornaments needing full sets.

For sure - I was one of many who did have full sets, but cleared vault space with the thought that "oh, I'll just buy them back when I need them".

Oops. =)

Immediate fix is no longer sufficient or acceptable. They must not just fix it, but also add another rally during S3 to make up for it. Just look around, people at 90+ without a single full set or at 150+ without all three.

Agreed. Without the complete armor sets I couldn’t complete all ornaments on all three characters.

Really good stuff here!

I disagree with your token changes to other activities. Those other activities should have their own reason for doing them (and many of them do currently). No reason to make 'everything rewarding'. When everything is the same, the game and event turns bland.

I looked at it like the milestones, every milestone spans across each and every activity in the game. I had figured with the time investment for each activity, the tokens should reflect a proper rewards so you wouldnt feel shorthanded. I can see your point though.
