Just reading the update news and noticed this... [b] "We noticed that players felt Lost Sectors were useful, but disliked the fact that they couldn’t enjoy them with a fireteam, so we moved the faction tokens from the destructible items to the chest at the end of the activity. The destructibles will still be featured as a daily milestone and are still available to help your fireteam clear out the Lost Sector."
[/b]
This is a sad ass lie period. They didn't like the fact that during the last faction rally, people simply destroyed the items for tokens and farmed to the max number of packages without having to mind numbingly complete the useless sectors every time.
If they wanna make this change to try and keep people playing longer, that's what should be said, not this sad ass lie about wanting to do sectors with a fireteam. Like whose ass did they even pull that out of. Not even a good lie for christs sake. smh. I'm sure I'm like many people who wont even bother to touch this faction crap after the first one anyway but damn Bungie, grow some -blam!-ing balls and tell the truth...
-
You get used to the lies. *takes shot of vodka*
-
I didn't think of it as a lie until I read your post, but yeah, it looks like they came up with a bogus reason as an excuse for slowing down token farming. Who ever does lost sectors as a fire team?!? The "challenge" they provide is due to taking them on solo.
-
Yup, I have a Stash of the coins from last time. They don't like us spending time in a useful way.
-
I think a lot of us knew the supply farming was gonna go. But this "explanation" ....I don't think I've seen such a high octane blend of condescention, ass coverage, and general out-of-touch-ness ever before.
-
No point in faction rally any way, unless getting 10+ of the same worthless item to drop sounds like fun.

Edited by drackiller: 11/3/2017 5:49:17 PMAfter 4 years, i`m playing COD again. The sad part is that Activision wins never the less. Ty Bungie,keep the bad work.
-
I like Lost Sectors so much I still haven't run all of them in game and I have 2 305s and a 302. LMAO
-
This is all well and good but there are MUCH MUCH more important things for Bungie to sort out. Such as giving us some decent endgame loot from both the hard raid and hard nightfall are way more important. I'd much rather them sort that out first instead of wasting their time nuffing our fun.
-
It's more of a [i]kill 2 birds with one stone[/i] scenario. Bungie loves to try and communicate in this way. Unfortunately it gets them into trouble. I don't know why they still do it. What you've said is true, but they have also made it easier to farm tokens this kind of giving a purpose to replaying existing content. Not for everyone. But for many who are interested in obtaining an armor set.
-
People in different factions were here complaining that only the faction that destroyed the crate got the credit/token for it. This change makes perfect sense tbf.

Was I getting exclusive loot? Am I getting a chunk of XP when doing them? [quote]but disliked the fact that they couldn’t enjoy them with a fireteam[/quote] That is a flat out lie! They already COULD be enjoyed with a fireteam so I don't know where this garbage is coming from. [quote]o we moved the faction tokens from the destructible items to the chest at the end of the activity[/quote] So you're basically DESTROYING that one motivation for people to do lost sectors? GG Bungo. [quote]he destructibles will still be featured as a daily milestone and are still available to help your fireteam clear out the Lost Sector[/quote] There is 1 flaw to that...the MOTIVATION to destroy those resources are now gone so who's gonna be willing to do them?
-
Thing is though, me and my buddies did do it as a fireteam. Just used different lost sectors.
-
I don't think anyone past level 265 wants to run lost sectors at all. I don't think most people even care about the faction rally now that we all know it's just more low level gear. Anything we do get will need to be infused and have mods added, so why bother? Guaranteed everything in the factions can be found with the same stats or better elsewhere. I mean, is a faction auto going to be better than Uriel's? Is a faction scout going to be better than Nameless Midnight? Sidearm better than Last Hope? Hand cannon better than Better Devil's? Yeah, I didn't think so. Last time I really liked the Pleiades Corrector, but Seven Six Five is just as good,really...and once I discovered Uriel's I keep it equipped full time with Nameless Midnight as my ranged gun.
-
I disliked that in my fireteam, the fact that I had one allegiance and he had another, it turned into a race to see who got the last shot in on the item in order to get the tokens. Not very team building.
-
I disliked the fact that you couldn't do it with a team. Just because you have a different opinion doesn't mean everyone else does too.
-
To be honoust i had to laugh at the fireteam requirements. I do lost sectors some times but it never takes me more then 5 minutes solo to smash the boss and grab the loot.

The main problem with shifting the rewards over to the chest is the chest lockout mechanism. You cannot loot a single lost sector chest more than 3x in a set amount of time. There's a glitch in Fireteams where you can loot a lost sector chest without ever having to complete the lost sector. To do the method it takes about 30 seconds. Abusing this method you'll get locked out of loot around the 3rd or 4th attempt. Lost Sectors aren't worth doing unless you're catching up on a soft cap, or you're at 305. This is the point where you're hunting blues to infuse into your legendaries. (since blues will drop the same power as legendaries after 276+; it just stops being worth teleporting to the tower every time to maybe be able to infuse a helmet) The problem was the tokens weren't awarded for time investment. Why am I getting significantly less tokens for doing a prestige nightfall or raid than I would doing any other non-strike content? It would make far more sense to add faction tokens as a random mob drop.
-
My group was actually disappointed that we couldn't do it as a group and had to split up. Honestly...
-
Tell me, how did that red pill taste? Welcome
-
It isn't a lie. A lot of youtubers said exactly that.
-
Nah, I've seen those exact complaints you say are lies on many a forum sir, I call shenanigans. Although this is entirely empirical and is for no reason because I'm quite sure this is just a flame topic, just in case your not a Rush Limbough.
-
Why do people still play this?
-
Lol LFG post reads: "Looking for 2 experienced players for Lost Sector clear(s). Must have planetary LS emblems and Wardcliff Coil" [quote]fact that they couldn’t enjoy them with a fireteam[/quote] Fact? Weird, I've "enjoyed" hundreds of LS's with Fireteam members. GTFO!

Edited by ULiano_III: 11/3/2017 4:31:43 PMThis change is actually for the better. There is a sector in EDZ where you can run past everyone Kill boss open chest run back to entrance and repeat. Takes about 1 minute to 1:10 seconds. Which is similar to the Farming methods on IO where you just sit back, shoot Stashes, leave cave and reenter cave and repeat. Also, much faster with two others.
