Just so you know this is a public event for all skill types.
It's not a competitive game mode like Trials, even though it's pretty much a carbon copy. And I know everyone will try to tear that statement apart but this event was essentially created for people to get together and have fun.
The fact that people are:
- Thorn or Ice Breaker whoring
- Special ammo exploiting with sidearms
- Teabagging & acting arrogant
- Waiting by special for it to drop every round
- etc etc, I'm sure others could add to this but this is what I've experienced so far
Just goes to show how vile the tactics of the majority of the community has gotten, and that every chance they get to try to turn a casual game into a severely competitive one, they do.
I will continue to play till I get that chocolate Ghost but once I have, I'm out and the event will have served its purpose for me.
Does anyone else feel similar or different?
Would like to hear others opinions. Keep it civil please.
EDIT:
Since many people are misinterpreting what my post is about by not paying attention to what I'm saying. I'm not trying to dictate what weapons people can use, just stating an opinion on them. I'm not trying to dictate how one has fun, I'm just addressing how I feel about it. This is nothing more then a rant about my experience in Crimson Doubles so far, and then I asked you guys whether you could relate to it or felt different about it. Hopefully more will understand now before replying.
Smaller edit:
Thanks for getting this to over 1000 replies, now although I took a lot of heat I tried to reply to everyone to clarify my position so that we all had an understanding. Thanks to those who spoke up along side me and let it be known that I wasn't the only one experiencing it.
Other edit:
Hit 1100 replies. Got a lot more attention then any other thread I've created. Also didn't expect this initially as many of my other ones died really quickly.

Stopped reading at "its not a competitive mode". Yes. Yes it is. Its a game mode that pits 2 teams against each other both competing for the win. Thats the definition of competitive. Try not to go full retard all the time

That's just part of the PvP aspect of the game. It sucks it has to be so salty and full of douches but that definitely comes in one way or another with any PvP aspect of games. If people are looking for the team work situations play the raid.
-
Sidearms working as intended means exploiting? Oh man. Kiddos on the forums again.

4 AntwortenIf people safe waiting for special in Round 1, let them. If they're gonna sit there for 30 seconds, I'm going to push up with my Firebolt and MIDA and wipe them out.

2 AntwortenJust came back and won from 4-1 down and got strength of the wolf :) enjoying doubles so far!

6 AntwortenBecause bungie waste so much time catering to pvpers. Pvp dictates what happens to weapons for the whole game. I'm curious to see what the new pve stuff is going to be, but I'm not going to hold my breath because bungie will always let us down.

2 AntwortenI played a streamer three times and the amount of shit talk in his stream was so embarrassing on his behalf.

2 AntwortenWith the introduction of Crim-Dubs, a small-team gamemode, people have begun harshing on Sunsingers, due to their AOE abilities and their versatility in elimination-based gameplay. Their ability to drop players shields and leave them at a low health, the original goal of the subclasses abilities, is now under fire as overpowered. What should have been fun has caused a shitstorm of Nerf-herders , and most probably the nerfing of a perfectly fine subclass.

Any post that includes edits praising themselves for how many people commented and "oh my gosh, I never thought this would happen!"... You didn't win an Oscar... You're pathetic.

8 AntwortenI played about 20 matches in Crimson Doubles and won about 15 of them and in no way am I top crucible player(0.77 k/d). In those matches I used Treads Beyond Stars, Zhalo Supercell, and Hung Jury. My sniper was Defiance of Yasmin. There were quite a few people using Thorn but it wasn't the death knell everyone keeps making it out to be.
-
Its because as much as these losers post they still cant read.
-
Thorn is not near the gun it use to be I can outgun a thorn with just about any other gun lol
-
I really get disgusted, when the other team switches to thorns because they're losing. My friend and I were using Fabian strategy and finalis peril, you know really meta dominated guns.
-
Doubles is a rotational playlist, and doubles wins are required for max grimoire.
-
I find crimson doubles will be what you want it to be I had a ton of fun running around with a random both of us using only havoc pigeons

1 AntwortenStaying on track with your mindset: I'm not saying you're a whiner, but you are a whiner.

2 AntwortenHere we go again. Another nerf herding, sensitive Sally crying on the forums because others don't play the way he wants them to. SMH. See my avatar? Bungie made that. Grow a sense of humor, learn how to adapt and stop crying like a 4 year old that didn't get dessert.
-
sounds like a typical day in the crucible to me
-
I feel the same, I just want the crimson shell or whatever it's called but can't win a game because of the things you listed
-
1 AntwortenI disagree actually. I ran into a couple teams, but nothing too bad. We actually had a lot of close and fun games with good players. And truthfully, I enjoyed the 2v2 aspect of it. It's easier to go 1v2 than 1v3. It's actually winable. Overall, I had a ton of fun.

3 AntwortenWe played same guys twice in a row like wtf
-
I only used thorn for hand cannon kills for me and my friends but I got lost in its beauty I'm sorry pls don't hurt me
-
9 AntwortenIf I want to use my thorn I WILL use it. The weapon is in the game for a reason. Deal with it

3 AntwortenFor me and a lot of other people winning equals fun. I don't enjoy losing and that was how I was brought up. I don't do the special ammo cheat bcos you can just wait it out and lift the ammo that spawns. But it is for Valentine's Day and I would say the reason people run solid set ups is because there is still an emphasis on SBMM so most game are pretty evenly matched and you don't wanna give an advantage away by running a silly set up.
