TL;DR:

• This week at Bungie, we talk rituals and reputation.
• Week 2 of Solstice of Heroes has begun.
• Six weeks until the next Season.
• This week the Season 15 appetizer comes in the form of ritual reputation updates.
• Earning A Reputation:
  • Starting in Season 15…
    • The reputation systems will now be known as Cricible, Gambit, and Vanguard Ranks.
      • The names Infamy and Valor will be retired, Glory lives on.
      • There is a new Trials Ranks in Season 15, more in a future TWAB.
    • Ranks will be rebalanced to have similar progression times.
      • Goal is to let players reset Vanguard, Crucible, and Gambit Ranks slightly faster, on average, than Valor currently allows.
      • No more ritual-specific rules that impede progress.
      • No more win streaks, replaced with activity streaks.
      • Reputation bonus weeks will all be 2x.
      • Bounties will no longer provide reputation as a reward.
    • The time to reset from an all-losses player to an all-wins player will be around 2x (down from 3-4x).
  • Glory lives on, with win streaks. They may change it in the future.
  • Vanguard Ranks:
    • REMINDER: VANGUARD TOKENS GET DELETED AT THE END OF THE SEASON!
    • Vanguard Reputation comes from these activites: Strikes, Nightfalls, Battlegrounds.
      • Nightfall gives bonuses based on completion medals.
      • Zavala will have a full reward track like Lord Shaxx and Drifter.
    • Activity Streaks and Reputation Bonuses:
      • The longer you stay in Vanguard activities, (playlist or direct launch) the larget your streak.
      • Minor detours, like visiting the Tower for Bounties or the H.E.L.M. for Postmaster will not break streak, but being AFK or quitting activities will.
    • Season Ritual Weapon Quest and Ornaments
      • Earning the Ritual Weapon (and its Ornaments) has been changed to be earned as the player earns reputation.
      • Seasonal Challenges are also getting an update, removing things like “In it for Infamy” (Earn ranks in Gambit) in favor of Challenges to earn ritual weapon rewards.
    • Grandmasters and Conqueror Gilding:
      • Catch-up node will become available at the same time as Grandmasters, as long as you have a Conqueror title that ungilded for that Season.
      • Catch-up node contains all Grandmaster Nightfalls that the Fireteam Leader has NOT completed the Gilded Triumph for.
      • Once you have gilded your title, the catch-up node will no longer be available.
