How to Improve the Nightfall (and weekly crucible bounties)
The weekly nightfall is becoming less and less popular, and there have been many complaints about rewards. If you're doing the nightfall pre-raid you will find it to be very rewarding, but endgame players who have completed trials or king's fall find it to be quite lackluster, so here are my ideas on how to improve the rewards, including a new and improved nightfall buff.
Nightfall:
The Nightfall buff returns in the form of a new legendary consumable known as a "Traveler's Blessing."
You receive 3 Traveler's Blessings per character upon completion of the nightfall for the first time that week, guaranteed. This does not replace any other loot rewards, but is an addition made to replace the former nightfall buff.
While a Traveler's Blessing is active, you have the blue flame around your head like you did with the nightfall buff.
Upon activation of a Traveler’s Blessing you gain increased experience and reputation gains by 25% (equal to the previous nightfall buff) for 48 hours on the character you activate it on. You will also instantly receive 2500 XP, 100 Vanguard reputation, and 50 reputation for your sworn faction if you have one. Blessings can stack up to 3 times.
This consumable is in no way affected by the weekly reset. The purpose of this consumable is to allow players to gain an XP and reputation boost on their own time, and let them take advantage of this reward based on their own availability, in addition to making the time of the week in which you do the nightfall insignificant, so you can do it Monday night and benefit just as much as another player who did it Friday night.
Strange coins or 3 of coins (it's random which one) now drop [b]in addition[/b] to a legendary or exotic weapon/armor piece from the nightfall. These may have to drop after the rewards screen to leave room for the weapon/armor piece and Traveler's Blessings.
You always receive 12 strange coins or 6 three of coins, the amount is no longer random.
Weekly Crucible Bounties:
You now receive 12 strange coins or 6 three of coins in addition to normal legendary and exotic drops from the "True Meaning of War" bounty.
You will also receive 25 legendary marks and 25 passage coins upon turning the "True Meaning of War" bounty in, instead of a nightfall buff type reward.
Additionally, each weekly bounty now additionally rewards 5 passage coins and 5 legendary marks, to make the weekly bounties more rewarding even if you don't have time to do all of them.
I know this technically belongs in Feedback, but I figured I would be a lot more likely to get a good response in Destiny (pls no Ninja)
Feel free to add your own ideas below, and I might edit them into the post (with credit) if they're good and other players like them!
IF YOU LIKE ANY OF THESE IDEAS, PLEASE BUMP SO DEEJ/COZMO/BUNGIE CAN SEE!!!!!!

Only thing I'm iffy on is nightfalls always dropping gear at or higher then your light level. People already dislike that places other then the raid and flawless Osiris can do that, I would say any exotic that drops for you should drop at or higher then your light level for nightfalls though. Just not legendary gear.

Make it a nightfall strike Playlist like it is supposed to be. That way it's not a set strike and set modifiers. I'd prefer for everything to be random.

Edited by SpongyMallard7: 12/22/2015 5:30:08 PMI would like it if they just went back to how it was. Even if you get a really bad reward (1 ascendant shard) you still got lots of extra rep.
