[quote]Hell I might just go for pure kills and never pick up a mote or worry about the bosses and once I'm done all the auto shit I will be able to have a dance party for the remaining 10-20 matches. [/quote] And you are part of the cancer that plagues gaming. ME ME ME and -blam!- everybody else.

The problem is people are playing the bouty not the game. As soon as I saw there was 40 games needed to complete I realized if you just play the game as intended after 40 matches you will have the bounty complete anyway.

Sounds like you have a shit team and a shit mind set. To bad winning with a comeback is pretty fun. Git Gud.

6 matches to go. 2 round only rule for us. 2 round win or loss. Gambit is a time waster. Sad, that people slow play for the 3rd round anyways. AFK all the way.

I am done with gambit thank god, got my DREDGEN, my malfeasance, and now breakneck. The catch up mechanic is horrible and the grind with RNG and the meatball is almost soul crushing. But I did it I lost count but it’s got to be about 800+ games so it’s doable but a nasty grind.

Everything about Gambit was poorly thought out. Invader with Sleeper/Queenbreaker can one-shot an entire team, see through walls, has an overshield, and takes half a mag to kill? Sounds good. Exotic quests that require killing Guardians (in some cases, entire enemy teams...which most of us are gonna need a few tries to accomplish) rather than focusing on Motes and helping your team? Check. Nightfall-level difficulty that encourages cheesing bosses (waiting until 5-stack Slayer to use Melting Point + 32 IKELOS rounds)? Sure. Bounties that encourage individual play rather than teamwork, often requiring feats that cause players to get greedy and set their team back? Go for it. A half-dozen different catch-up mechanics that constantly shift the flow of the match to essentially negate any advantage? Awesome idea! Unlimited portal use during Primeval waves so the other team can farm kills while we're busy fighting a boss, 2 mini-bosses, and a couple dozen glitchy Phlanxes? Sign me up. And now everyone (including myself) is running around with the weakest primary in the game, underequipped for anything but ads (unless they're lucky enough to get Heavy to drop, which I haven't for the past 5 games), losing more Motes than they bank and generally turning an already-unenjoyable game type into a boring mess where every match takes twice as long as it used to. All that, for a "pinnacle" weapon many players had 24 hours after the update launched, and the rest of us will spend a month or more grinding for. These new "quests" aren't doing much for hardcores (evidenced by players having them the first day), and they're the source of roughly a third to half of posts complaining about some element of the game (don't forget Amanda was the one who though it was a good idea to bring Shotgun spam back to the Crucible)...I guess if Bungie's goal was create even more elitism and divisiveness in their community, they've done well. If the Last Word quest requires more Gambit nonsense, I think I may just sit that one out - it'll just get overused and nerfed soon enough anyway.

I'm using "horror story" in primary and "misfit" in special. Don't ever manually reload. Also heard good things about "sweet business".

1. Nobody is forcing you to do anything. 2. This quest is supposed to be a SEASONAL accomplishment. No one at Bungie was expecting that anyone would sit there and grind out 40 matches in a week. Its 40 matches over the course of the THREE MONTHS of Season 5. But there is no accounting for lazy, selfish people who can't delay gratification. ....or content creators competing with one another for "relevancy", and creating the impression that this is the way you're supposed to play through games.
