I'll kill a high value target, runover all of the motes and try to jump into them while they're in the air. Then my teammate just casually runs over all of them and picks them up while I get like 1 mote. Wtf? Fix this stupid crap
Gambit is a rigged game ... or so it appears: after acquiring Dredgen and that 4th reset emblem, I steered clear of Gambit because it was unbelievably frustrating; mote thieves, insta-kill enemies appearing whenever I had more than a handful of notes, getting mapped by a red-bar Taken from places unseen, lag / latency issues; weapons that suddenly became utterly useless, e.g., tracking failures, ineffective even at virtual point blank ranges, etc.; compared to getting mapped by an invader with just one or two rounds (bullets) of an identical weapon to mine, etc, etc...
And then they introduced the colour-coded armour for each role; I liked this idea, as it enabled me to play my regular role of part-Reaper-and-Sentinel, which is what I was doing most of the time, anyway, especially once my bounty objectives were done. And then Tier 1 of G Prime arrived: did that, got a set of every colour armour, but, seeing the ever-increasing number of hoops to jump through, particularly re Tier 3, it was just not in any way ‘fun’ - for me, so I waved goodbye to Gambit, and that’s where I stayed, until Solstice...
Having to re-enter the Gambit arena after such a long absence was a bit of a learning curve: Regular Gambit was the first step...and...nothing much has changed: still the same old issues of mote thieves, lag/latency, etc., as before, only now compounded by constant invasions - which often decide the outcome of a round, regardless of my teammates’ best efforts; also, in between invasions are the non-stop appearances of swarms of insta-kill enemies, especially if I have, say more than a few notes in hand; if, on the rare occasion I had 9+ notes, I knew I was not going to survive long enough to bank them...it happened virtually every time.
It still does, only now, it’s even worse. It’s so bad it begs the Q - ‘what’s the point?’ The game feels so ‘rigged’ it is totally unenjoyable.
As for Gambit Prime: the same but on mega steroids. The only reason I suffer G Prime is because it’s only one round per game, so it’s usually over very quickly. And that’s not a good reason to play because it’s totally negative...so, again - ‘what’s the point?’
Well, hunting for a G roll Bygones helps; and just getting those Solstice requirements done is a necessary thang... only my W to do!
So, Gambit and Gambit Prime and the Reckoning are totally not my idea of FUN. And so it’s another area of the game that I avoid at all costs, unless absolutely necessary for specific purposes. Just like the unfun Raids...I stopped jumping through those ridiculous hoops after the Siva one...especially since they nerfed my pinnacle weapon in The Taken King...after an incredible grind to first get it; and being able as a Titan mit Bubble being able to help so many new Friends and all their m8s complete that year’s Moments of Triumph requirements - especially dropping Oryx on Hard Mode.
SMH 🙄
TL, DR? Don’t be so lazy! See top of page...or...don’t!
Anyhoo, just my 2d worth. YMMV.
Cheers!
