Changing Bounty on Exotic Weapon = Torqued off Player

Right... so... I have this bounty for a "Depleted Hand Cannon" Which dropped after a strike on the Moon... and then required a slew of Hive to be defeated on the moon. Then after the Hive were defeated... the Bounty changed to a PvP bounty... requiring Void damage. There's a difference between a [i]Challenge[/i] and [i]Pissing The Player Off[/i]. This is square on the side of: [i]How to Piss Your Player Base Off[/i]. As the character in game... I have no weapons that enable void damage. So if I wanted to pursue this exotic weapon I now have to either spec into and level a subclass with Void Damage; buy a weapon with Void Damage; or hope a weapon with void damage drops that is not a complete downgrade from the weapons I already have. As a character then If I wanted to pursue this bounty I have now have to leave my bounty inventory cluttered up until I am in a position to potentially fulfill the bounty. As an average player... I do not engage in the PvP. I have no interest in the PvP. I do not take any of the PvP bounties offered by the Bounty Vendor. I automatically abandon every single PvP bounty given by the in-game mailing system. As a player I now have to question whether or not other Exotic Weapon bounties will also suddenly change bounty types mid-progress. If, as a player, I am locked out of obtaining a specific class of items because I do not want to play a part of the game that I do not enjoy, I am far more likely to go find a different game to play. In turn far less likely to spend any further money on future Destiny releases. As a game reviewer.. Switching a higher-level reward chain from a PvE/Co-Operative base to a PvP base mid progress is [b]BAD GAME DESIGN[/b]. This is the kind of basic design failure that gets whole numbers chopped off of review scores; right up there with a PC game release launching on Windows and skipping Linux; or leaving the Xbox User-Interface prompts in non Xbox platform releases. As somebody leaving feedback... there probably is no method exposed by which the existing Bounty can be converted into a PvE/Co-Op reward chain. I'll probably deal with having to go participate in PvP just to see what the progress on the bounty looks like.

  • Last thing, you have it easier than most. You are a warlock so you HAVE a void subclass. You in fact have the easiest time doing this one being the most offense based void subclass. Titans void is restricted to hum drum grenades. You have melee nova bomb and grendades in addition to weapons. Try being a hunter doing this. No void subclass.
