Seriously.... does America have that? I know we don't in Canada, but you'd think that a Red Bull Slurpee is something that is just as american.... ahem.... nevermind

Faction Rallies are a thing.
Remember how they nerfed the tokens for them?
Enjoy it while it lasts
Cap is 400 (20 packages)

Cap is still 30 ranks unless I missed something. Pretty sure reddit would literally explode if they nerfed that on top of the token changes.

My understanding is after 20 levels, you stop getting nice things... akin to the planetary chests only giving you a token and glimmer after too much grinding.
That's just hearsay though... Faction rally's don't really appeal to me that much.

Cap is 30 packages. Fact that you got nothing nice is coincidence.

It's not hearsay, the cap is 30 packages before you stop getting gear drops and it switches to shaders only, unless they changed it from the first faction rally. I maxed out two characters last time.

Sorry; I was multi tasking badly at that point
I meant to say that it was hearsay from me, as I've never personally done it

Indeed. New Monarchy definitely has the best looking stuff all the way around, IMO.

Reached rank 30 with FWC and no chest piece. Not that it took much time getting those tokens for me thanks to the cheese but the casuals will get screwed over with no smart loot system. The technology is in the game as you can see from the Optimacy gear as random drops from Bright engrams. Happy to get the kinetic sidearm and energy pulse though. I'd mostly like stick to my Philomath set, but if there's a new shader out that looks good with a phased out set then the option would be there for me.

So this still works?
And why do I want to do this?
Trying to catch up with this.

Remember in HoW, how once you killed the wolves and got the chest, you could leave the area then go back in and double dip the chest? Well... imagine that. But a LOT more. Like... 3 tokens every 15/20 seconds

Damn. Didn't get the New Monarchy hand cannon and I already pledged my Hunter to FWC thinking I'd need two characters to FWC to try and get the FWC pulse rifle, but I got it after a few rank ups. Are the weapons being replaced when the next faction rally comes?

Alaska = Dawnblade. I think it's just because people here miss the sun during the winter months....

I think Dawnblade's popularity is 1) its new, and 2) it's the warlock default until level 10.
I mean, it sure as $hit isn't because of the super.
Now I'm sad... remembering selfres's

And it's been almost 2 days to the minute, and I have yet to have my original question answered:
Does 7/11 USA sell Red Bull Slurpees?

I think I got about eight engrams with it, got a few guns I needed. Manananam scout rifle was one of them (I then infused it, and mod to 305)

COMPLETED THE PRESTIGE RAID! Got the helmet at Calus. Apparently it's not guaranteed even at Calus.

Even survived two phasing him but still couldn't kill him because a lot of people ran out of ammo, like everything. Pity so many have cheesed it without trying to do it legitimately at least once.

You can still get 30 packages per character. Do what you need for the Flashpoint and Clan XP, then go farm tokens, you should get to 600 in an hour of farming or less.
Reviews of the new weapons:
New Monarchy: Good Counsel IX: Great - high impact scout with good sights and manageable recoil Older Sister: Good - good situational choice as Ambitious Assassin is a really good perk Sidearm: I guess if you want a full auto with high cal, otherwise just stick to the Omolon sidearms Sniper: Didn't test, it's a sniper
FWC: Stochastic Variable: Great - a really nice SMG, probably not as good as the Iron Banner one if you're using high cal (IB has faster reload) but I love the TorchHS3 sight and Phase Rounds is a decent perk Enigma's Draw: Disappointing for PvE. Didn't test yet for PvP, where it might be really good Memory Interdict: Didn't test too much, but seems like a really good choice if you're using a GL to clear adds Heart of Time: Not as good as the Iron Banner pulse for PvP but the only Energy weapon of the archetype; probably the only Pulse worth considering using in PvE
Dead Orbit: Guiding Star: Probably not going to be a good choice for PvE compared to the 600RPM options, but haven't tested it yet in PvP, where it may shine Escape Velocity, Controlling Vision: Hit rank 30 and didn't receive either of these. Great system.
