Looks like Faction Rally is live and the whiners and bitchers on Reddit have already found a cheese for gathering rally coins quickly. Fucking absurd that all they do is cry and bitch about how there's no rewards, nothing to do, but when Bungie gives us something to do they try and cheese it as quickly as possible.

Anyways, here's the link for those who are interested. I just don't see how doing this is any fun at all.

its nothing new bungie will find a way to stop this then they'll start bitching then bungie will cave then they'll come up with a new way to cheese that and so on. how much videos they have up on youtube by "content creators" that shows how to farm shit everytime there's a new event.
 
Yeah you said it tanker. They bitch that there's nothing to do, then when there is something to do, they're looking for the fastest way to do it. So stupid.

I just don't see how running that Lost Sector over and over is any fun. Quite a few comments in that thread about how it's going to be boring but they're going to do it... what the fuck for? haha

I know I bitch and whine a lot, and here I am bitching and whining about bitchers and whiners..... that irony isn't lost on me.

I did it during the first faction rally. It was a mindless grind

I'll ask you since you keep up on reddit happenings. Are there new weapons in the Faction Rally this time? Maybe I'll actually launch this game for the first time in months if there is.

I just looked at the videos for it and of course all the top youtube Destiny guys have their own video for the farm. I'm sure that was what everyone was looking to do this kill ogre, open chest, killself, respawn, kill ogre, open chest, killself, respawn, kill ogre, open chest, killself, respawn, kill ogre, open chest, killself, respawn, kill ogre, open chest, killself, respawn, kill ogre, open chest, killself respawn I'm sure that is the reason the traveler made the ghost was to farm faction rally tokens.
 
Man. I just find I have no incentive to play this game. I just can't be bothered. It kinda makes me sad really, but it's true.

Mind you, any time I actually put it in and play, I have fun. But I just can't be bothered even putting it in right now. Weird.

Yeah, of course we have the weapons that were up for a win last time, and they have added a few new ones. I've timestamped this video showing what the new weapons are.



Time 2:04 if the timestamp didn't work.

I ran my Hunter through a couple of Milestones yesterday and I had a good time. Ran Lost Sectors in the EDZ for about an hour for faction tokens and I it was OK. Nothing amazing or new but still fun. I still haven't done the Eater of Worlds raid lair, so I'm still working with my clan to get through it. My clan usually plays at midnight to 3am my time and now that my schedule has changed that's just not possible for me anymore, so I'm kind of the "odd guardian out" now.

ooooo damn.. for real? it's a short but enjoyable raid. just wish there was more of it. Honestly all I care about are raids with the clan. New raids will drive me to come back to D2. How they configure the rewards and create fair but desireable way of keeping me playing afterwards is crucial though...

I pretty much put it in, play a few games to get the call of arms every week, sometimes the flashpoint and cut it off. Only really ran the Gunslinger before and now using the Nightstalker to switch it up. Want to try another class and started a Titan, but just don't have the motivation to grind to get it t use any of the decent weapons.

I didn't think you needed the DLC to participate... about a month ago they pushed a patch that allowed non-DLC members into everything that wasn't specifically DLC. So Prestige Raid mode came back, Iron Banner, and I believe Faction Rally.

Can anybody confirm that non-DLC users can still participate in the Faction Rallies?

Edit : here we go.

.1.1.4: The one about season access.
Iron Banner
  • Players who do not own Curse of Osiris may once again access Iron Banner when available
Faction Rallies
  • Players who do not own Curse of Osiris may once again pledge to Factions during Faction Rally events

I can participate but when I looked I couldn't get any new weapons. I think I could still get armour sets.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I just looked up some of the weapons available on destinytracker.com and they have the Curse of Osiris logo on them. Sorry buddy, I had no idea.

I like the sounds of this emblem. I wonder if the previous kills will count?
