Some of us ARE the weaker players

I know I'm generally the weak link in a team. I'm probably the reason there's no matchmaking in vault of glass. I'm not a pro grade competitor raised on halo death matches, and using a controller makes it much worse. Playing more than a few rounds of crucible is heartbreaking, reliably at the bottom of the list, and no visible league for losers. I was elated when I got an exotic weapons bounty, these are the kinds of things that let me translate extra hours of gameplay into a slight improvement in performance. Then I discovered I need a kill/death spread of 25 in the crucible to claim it. Devastating. Of course I looked it up and saw everybody else can do it in a couple games, but for me that goal will likely never come. Whee. I'm considering throwing it out to make room for a bounty that time and perseverance might win. But it's a hard admission of defeat, and a lot to surrender, I want to claim these prizes as much as the skilled players. I paid full price for this game too, and I'd have bought the version with the model ghost if my wife had let me spend the money. It's great to compete, and it's great to find the winners, and tell them how great they are, and hire them to win for you, even, but please don't forget about your terrible players, we do play too, as best we can. Reliable losing is a major downer. Ps. Thank you for not making the crucible rewards win based. That is very generous. I know that the guys who have just demonstrated that they can kill me ten times with a toothpick want an even better gun to do it with, it's nice to get something on the bottom, I'm glad you did that that way. EDIT: I accidentally wrote kill/death ratio, when I meant spread, this has been corrected.

  • First, play control, but don't sit in a flag, sit outside it, behind it, In front of it, and catch people unawares... Camp the heck outta a few matches. Also, like another poster says, use the buddy system, you're MUCH less likely to die if you're double teaming the opponent. I usually go positive, but the thorn mission (with void damage) took me 2 weeks! You'll get it, have some faith!

    • It's not a kill death ratio of 25... you just need 25 more kills than deaths over a few matches, also I believe 2 assists count towards a kill. I did it in 2 matches. If you're not very skilled, stick with the rest of your team and just spray anything you see, at least you should crank out the assists.

      • I dropped the exotic requiring the 25 k/d. I have the one for the handgun needing void kills. It took me two weeks of crucible to finish it, and it was frustrating as all hell. The bad part is that finishing Thorn requires doing a level 26 strike. My buddies are too low level to help, and none of us are power players. I will probably end up dropping it as well. I was really hoping this game would have options on the raids/strikes that at least let players experience the story. I wouldn't care if there was zero gear. I would like to see what little story there actually is. The Vault is basically out of reach for a lot of us.

        • The lesson learned here is stay away from future budgie products. This product is too advanced for the average player and provides little enjoyment

        • I'll admit I'm with you. You'll pull off the exotic bounty, I assure you. It may take a day of begrudgingly grinding the crucible, but it can be done. I'm not good. I doubt I ever will be, but everyone has their moments. You'll get it done, brother.

        • I dumped that exotic quest. I'm just too old and slow for pvp. Got another exotic quest which doesn't require pvp (reward fusion rifle). I did some pvp just to try it out but it's just not my cup of tea.
