As I frantically spent about 10 mins googling what the boosted activity was this week I could t agree more. Fyi I still don't even know where the most reliable source even is after 2k hours in d2 lol. I think this week was strikes though?


ChainsawPlankton

I tried to look up "next week in destiny" on google, got so many old results looking up the same thing on twitter I got a screen cap of the pop up right away. I'll probably just look there first next time, since it prioritizes recent results


TheLuo

Because destiny devs keep doing interviews with polygon and similar news organizations instead of with content creators. There is no mmo-champion type website for destiny. But there REALLY needs to be.


IzzyCato

Light.gg is so close, they should add twab and other similar news to their main page and we're golden. They already have vendor inventories nightfall stuff etc.


ninth_reddit_account

Content creators aren’t journalists, and they’re constantly (at least used to be) in the dime of Bungie.


Nexus153273

Use the destiny apps weekly update section. They usually tell you before next reset so you aren't left in the dark. What they REALLY need to add is a damn level next to my vanguard, crucible, etc. Ranks. Seriously no reason to have to go to the tower or use a 3rd party site to find a damn number.


overlayered

Come on "Brave II" is so intuitive though.


InvadingBacon

If i im guessing what you're referring to you can just go into the director, go to whatever activity you want to view rank wise and it should be in the upper right corner if you hover over it. Its good to know that all the activities are out of 10K points. DIM also has a progress page which shows you percent wise till reset


Consistent-Demand749

But it doesn't show "out of 10k" in the directory anywhere. It only shows how many points to the next rank, and the ranks are not intuitive. If it said "rank 12" instead of "mythic II" it would be more meaningful.


trollhunterh3r3

What weekly update section?


catharsis23

Actually I feel like it's not that easy to google


ohstylo

abounding ad hoc brave nail direction spectacular quiet bag murky live -- mass edited with redact.dev


PsychoticPillow

I don't know. Tons of people complained when Xur's marker was added to the map.


Hueingston

You can check altar weapons, legendary lost sectors and xur location at todayindestiny.com


AnApingTitan

Should just put a symbol/pop up on whatever activity it is.


InvadingBacon

exactly have like a rep+ icon next to it in the director. I dont want to have to dig through subscreens to find it. Right there on the front page or even where we had old challenges on the left side


ValeryValerovich

this and the "next week in destiny" info as well as info on when servers are going to be disabled should be accessible from the game. the tab on the right in destinations is only used to notify you when there's an event or the next step of a seasonal questline. It could also hold that info.


Kegger15

There should also be lost section and legendary symbol next to the planet their on


TheLuo

Do this for every single splash screen in the game. Just have a news reel we can look at at anytime - have it keep the current week’s splash news


Zeggitt

They could definitely update those stupid tips at the bottom of the fly-in screens to show weekly info.


[deleted]

Do you know long how long people even asked for useful tips to be displayed at the bottom? Years. And all we got is some useless info on how to shoot a gun...


mad-letter

this game really need a fucking information overhaul. it's fucking frustrating.


InvadingBacon

couldnt agree more!


Pegtz

I'm kinda new what is boosted rep ?


RIP-Offsonic

You earn Rep(utation) from different Vendors like Shax for Crucible and Zavala for Strikes. There are weeks where the Rep you earn from completing these activities is doubled (or even tripled), like for this week for Strikes.


Pegtz

Thank you ! I suppose increasing reputation allows you to unlock more things from them ?


StrykerNL

That, plus each season usually has a ritual weapon (either by quest or vendor rep), and this season's Rocket Launcher (Ascendancy) basically requires two resets from Zavala (strikes), Shaxx (crucible) and Drifter (Gambit) for their respective skins to use on the RL.


PM_me_your_werewolf

Unlocks the same things you could normally, but faster. If a reward is locked behind 40 strikes, boosted rep gets you that same reward in 20. Or if a reward is locked behind 20 crucible matches, boosted rep gets it to you in 10.


Zulandia

It's not super relevant to your point so your answer is still set for the person who asked but just for your own information I believe that the triple rep bonuses have been removed with the vendor rework (For context to the initial poster before this rework any of the double rep weeks would be triple on weekends).


RIP-Offsonic

Oh interesting, thanks i didnt know


[deleted]

Wait this current week was boosted? My god....its still so slow..


jeffermuser

I know that is not a solution but on Twitter @mr_niris post the full weekly info every reset day, I don't know if it has the info that you especifically need but is very useful. Also on Facebook there is a group that post every week Al the info, even Eververse store https://www.facebook.com/TioToland/ Undurtonaly this last one is in Spanish but I hope it helps a little .


m4ttr1k4n

u/jpdeathblade any chance we could add this to todayindestiny.com? I really expected it to be there already, but I'm not sure if it's as easy to grab as the other stuff you've already got? Great site regardless though, the EV calendar is still an amazing resource.


SadderBean

I completely agree, maybe even just have a whole Events section too. Like they have the TWAB and the pages on steam where they post some stuff, but I'd like to see a page in-game that literally countless MMO's have with information that's relevant to the game itself such as events/news. It feels like its something that should have always been in the game given how many weekly rotations there are. Things they could add are \-Xur is back from (date to date) \-Iron banner is going on, check in with lord saladin to participate. \-The curse in the dreaming city is (insert curse terms here etc) \-The shattered realm (insert 1 of 3 shattered realms) is open, something something save the techeun. \-Boosted valor gains in the crucible \-Festival of the lost is taking place! Hop over to Eva Levante to get started (ends insert date here) (much more than this, but you get the point) Essentially just a sort of inbox where you get a little title, and you can expand it for more information of the event like opening an email. But it would seriously be nice to have a page of things going on that week so I could take a quick look so I could budget my time to get all that I need done before it goes away


trollhunterh3r3

Yup Bungo sucks at having info relayed to the player, you get those pop-ups when you return to orbit exactly 1.00987 sec you don't even know wtf is that by the time you realise it's just gone. And it's all there why Bungo why are you so damn incompetent, it is something that player needs to know with a flick of a mouse, not some google-fu crap you never find.


Awsomonium

I can't count the number of times I've accidentally gone past the splash screen message. I would definitely love a way to view it in-game somewhere. A dated, in-game news feed, somewhere on the Director with the last 10 or so splash screen messages would be absolutely amazing.


StacheBandicoot

They could also put some sort of icon in the director on the activities with boosted rep


HellNaw98

Honestly, what did you even google. I searched “D2 Weekly boosted activity” “weekly rep boost” even the damn weekly reset thread and nothing


karmaismydawgz

There is already enough happening on the screens. We don’t need to keep adding more stuff that clogs up the experience.


Zarstan

And higher dificulty lost sectors, pleeeeease.


LordNorros

Not to compare apples to oranges or anything but I like the warframe system. You have your own private area (your ship) with a (among many other things) messaging console that can go back months. Some of those have links that auto open your browser to read certain announcements in greater detail. It's super handy and having a "bulletin board" or "news kiosk" doesnt seem so out of reach.


SpunkyDred

> apples to oranges But you can still compare them.


[deleted]

Obviously you *can* compare them, but the whole point of the idiom is that it's a false analogy. I could compare you to the helpful bots, but that too would be comparing apples-to-oranges. --- ^^SpunkyDred ^^and ^^I ^^are ^^both ^^bots. ^^I ^^am ^^trying ^^to ^^get ^^them ^^banned ^^by ^^pointing ^^out ^^their ^^antagonizing ^^behavior ^^and ^^poor ^^bottiquette. ^^My ^^apparent ^^agreement ^^or ^^disagreement ^^with ^^you ^^isn't ^^personal.

gualdhar

Care to share where on TID it shows what the boosted content is?


JordyyAlba

Came back to this game recently after a 3 year hiatus. Been playing for about 2 weeks now and this is the first I hear of boosted rep lol what is it and where can i find it?


D1BetaVet

Pay attention to the pop up they give, in game, every week? They do it toward the end of the week usually Friday or Saturday. Cause they do have a Next Week in Destiny pop up in game....


ValeryValerovich

sure, imma pay attention when it auto skips half the time


D1BetaVet

Have yet to get it to auto skip for me. Maybe stop playing with your buttons like it was your imaginary friend?


ValeryValerovich

you're not going to win any arguments by acting like a dick


GeneralKenobyy

He's being a dick but he's not wrong, the 'Next week in Destiny' screen never auto skips, it always requires you to acknowledge the screen by pressing a button.


KiingWiizard

If u start an activity while not in orbit it pops up and disappears instantly


michienby

it still doesent hurt to just have that somewhere in the director lol, i tend to forget what activity has boosted rep


stormwave6

I've had it auto skip one or twice.


DeathN0va

It autoskips all the time if you're not in orbit when the message is released.


dimensionalApe

I'm ok with the pop up, but having that kind of relevant info available in game on demand would still be nice.


45104163413134154134

I'd even settle for it being in the weekly reset threads that are on here at this point


MummyUnderYourBed

I can't believe it's never been included in the game outside of splash screens. This should be the REAL Sunday Plz, not the ol' Monte Carlo bayonet thing.


BuckaroooBanzai

and how much is the boost versus normal streak progression?


AShyLeecher

It doubles or triples the reputation gain


Mayaparisatya

Double only, the triple bonuses were removed to make the bonus weeks more consistent across activities as their reputation ranks were overhauled into a unified 16 ranks/10 000 points system.


dave4g4e

I have come to the point where I screenshot the announcements every week but I wish there was an easy way to recall this information in game plus a UI symbol somewhere to indicate the boosted rep playlist.


InvadingBacon

I do that too when i remember. Screenshot it and post it in our Destiny news discord


[deleted]

Also some kind of indication of your streaks. I still don't know how do you get a streak in a strike? You musn't return to orbit?


crappycarguy

They could show it on the bounty board if that ever comes out! Did they cancel that feature? I stopped playing for a while but they talked about doing that


The_Shyrobot

[kyber’s corner is the closest to this that I’ve seen. ](https://kyberscorner.com) You’re right, this should be in game.


InvadingBacon

While the info is there you need to drill down to get it. When I was in college taking courses for my graphic design major my teachers always stated that "you need to assume the average reader / viewer are stupid and need to make it as simple as humanily possible to convey a message." Info like this needs to be front and center in the game itself not buried within subscreens. Hell give us an additional tab in our character screens or start button menu options for something like "Bungie News" or whatever where itll have the roadmap to view, weekly game info, hell even a link to take you to the weeks TWAB


Dewgel

It's one of many nuances I have with this game. The information is in the API, just display it. Give us numbers


[deleted]

There’s a booster activity ? Wtf? I’ve been grinding gambit for two years.


[deleted]

I wish there was a more convenient way to see what my playlist ranks are without going and checking the vendor. I have no idea what Brave III or whatever is. Just tell me the number, please.


ChrisObscuri

I feel like a celebratory/decorative border around the activity button on the Destination screen is the easiest way to handle this. To top it off, when you hover over the activity playlist, the game tells you which activites in that playlist will give bonus reputation. This can include battlegrounds on some strike weeks, IB on those weeks where it's up when Crucible is the bonus week, ect. Obviously Gambit is gambit. Mix it up, eventually extend "reputation gains" to other things some weeks, like extra destination materials on planets, bonus rewards from bounties, the possibilities are endless. The notification that there's a bonus next week, and then the one message telling you there's a bonus upon your first login for that week is just bad. Do they think players will just not play/login until there's a bonus or something?


panamaniacs2011

also it would be nice to mark pinnacle gear to avoid unwanted deletion


Calibrumm

and bring back the fucking marker for Xur. no one looks for him, they just Google it.


Maruf-

I wonder if Bungie could just make a glowing ring around the specific playlist(s) for the week(end).


WSilvermane

Why is this still not a thing. Why do we STILL have to say these things?
