ALSO QUICK POLL ABOUT THE CRUCIBLE: What does the community think about a PERFORMANCE BASED REWARDS SYSTEM for CRUCIBLE, in addition to(not replacing), THE RNG REWARDS SYSTEM: (I moved the question for the poll to the top because the answers are here, but I intended for this to be at the bottom, the poll is meant to be finished after reading the post) Dear Bungie, these are my current complains about ToO and the Crucible in general: I am using an ethernet connection with 25down/10up with those speeds always being consistent.... why, oh WHY, do I and many other players keep getting disconnected from the Trials? And WHY OH WHY BUNGIE IS FIRETEAM JOINING DISABLED!?!? At least make it so that the player who was kicked can rejoin if you don't want other ppl joining! ...okay, calming down now lol, got the yelling out of my system, please read on... I've been kicked on the first round of trials too many times now and should be able to reconnect with my team on the following rounds. It seems like the issue is the rounds being so short that the game thinks that their full trials game is almost over even when they are only in round 2. Please fix this Bungie, I loved Halo and am a huge fan and even had aspirations to work for Bungie one day... but Destiny has been nothing but letdowns constantly for a PvP player such as myself. I find the PvE to be very dull and boring but that's probably not even your guys' fault cause I generally am just a very competitive PvP player. For the guys who made Halo 2 and 3 to slack on the PvP, it's a bit of a travesty :( Halo was the only shooter that I ever really enjoyed, since the Halo series I can pretty much pick up any FPS now and be great at it, including Destiny. I find Destiny PvP to be the most fun you can get out of a console shooter right now, so I really only play PvP. It was extremely annoying that playing for 6 hours in the crucible, getting K/D spreads over 4.0 constantly, with over 20 kills, would yield NOTHING... so you can imagine my excitement when I heard we were getting Legendary drops in PvP. After about 30 games in the crucible since HoW came out I've had a single Legendary drop, although it was not based on performance, it was actually my first game of the day and I played terribly that game. And this leads me to the MAIN PROBLEM IN CRUCIBLE THAT STILL PERSISTS. PLEASE BUNGIE PLEASE, give us rewards based on our performance in the Crucible... I got a 12.0 K/D spread the other day with 24 kills one game, and had a few solid games that session. And I GOT NOTHING that whole session of those 5 or 6 games that I played, while I watched the losing players on the opposing team, all with negative K/D spreads, get legendary drops and strange coins. Now don't get me wrong, this incentive is nice, I like that a terrible crucible player can still get rewards... I'M NOT SAYING TO REMOVE RNG DROPS FROM CRUCIBLE. I'm just asking that ON TOP of the RNG system we have a performance-based rewards system for the players who only play Destiny for the PVP such as myself. Because, for the amount of crucible I've played/have kicked ass in, compared to the amount of exotic drops I have in total in my entire Destiny career(7.... 7 exotics.... 2 armor and 5 weapons... No Thorn, No Suros, No Mythoclast, No Last Word, my exotics that I do have are the ones nobody cares about....after 9 months of playing crucible almost every week) is just utterly disheartening. I try for exotic bounties too... despite completing groupings of 6-7 crucible bounties at a time and turning them all in at once, I've only ever been presented with 2 exotic bounties ever. Neither of which gave me the option for the Exotics I actually want... Lol my most "famous" exotic is the Icebreaker but I prefer Praedyths Revenge BY FARRR, and the only Exotics I have that are useful are the ThunderLord and my Voidfang Vestments... I'm almost done with Destiny. I will not be getting Destiny 2 if the PvP situation does not change soon. I hope none of this comes off as bitching or whining, I truly do enjoy playing destiny, and have definitely enjoyed co-op PvE just not nearly as much as PvP... but there comes a point where the imbalance of a game will start to drive away competitive players such as myself, and you're getting really close to that point, and I'm sure for many players you have already passed that point :( Love, AShadowMonk p.s. NERF THE -blam!-ING THORN ALREADY ITS OVERPOWERED IN TRIALS. Please either [i]reduce the amount of damage taken over time[/i], [i]slow down the speed at which damage is taken over time[/i], OR [i]reduce the amount of time over which damage is taken[/i]. One, two, or all 3 of these factors need to be taken care of to make PvP more fair and balanced, because IT IS A FACT that if I was lucky enough to have the Thorn I would be doing that much better in PvP, especially in Trials where it matters most. p.s.s. Bungie, if you are COMPLETELY unwilling to add performance-based rewards for the Crucible, then at least PLEASE I BEG OF YOU ADD A TRADING SYSTEM.... I have too many friends mock me by saying they've got multiples of the guns I would love to have... I am better than all of these friends at Destiny too which makes it most frustrating. Being a PvP player, I found VoG and Crota extremely easy... and boring, same with every story mission. Yet with their lacking of skill they can just play PvE all day and get all the rewards that I can never get because I have a job and a daughter and only have enough time to play 5 or 6 PvP games at a time. I don't wanna leave you Bungie but you're pushing me away :(
