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.

12 RespuestasDon't really see the problem with Thorn. It's pretty balance now if you ask me.

4 RespuestasI was enjoying the event until I teamed up with a guy and he was a proper sweaty try hard. Was a horrible experience. Treated EVERYTHING like a military operation and our actual lives depended on it. I messed up so much because he made me feel uncomfortable. He was so damn serious about it and kept going on about his kd -_-. Afterwards I ran it for a few games with a friend so he could do the bounties and then I gave up. Sapped the fun right out of me and I had no desire to play once my friend was done. I get some people are competitive,but in an event that really doesn't matter if you win or not 'why so serious' lol. It's meant to be fun.

2 RespuestasEditado por Mr.Shickadance: 2/13/2016 4:08:56 PMWelcome to Destiny PvP and the forums. Everything is go hard. Honestly, Destiny is in the last throws of relevancy. Most casual/ chill players have moved on to other games. That leaves the ultra competitive (in a game that really isn't so) and ultra loyal propping it up. CD was an event to bring the casual players back and introduce them to a game-type they never played & perhaps even getting those too intimidated to play ToO a small taste of it. I'm sure it was an honest gesture from Bungie. It's just too late in the game's life to do it. This time a year ago would have been perfect. Bungie will look at this and either: 1) move up the timeframe to get PvE out B) focus more on PvP and micro-transactions OR) leave everything as is and watch the community ostracize itself and kill the game from the inside out. It's so easy to hate Bungie but the players are the ones who turned it into the mess it is today. Fallout couldn't have released in a better window. I'm sure Bethesda is silently cheering as they browse these forums. Ubisoft seems to have been paying attention too and we will see March 8th if they learned anything.

I think the most annoying thing is people just sit back and snipe....Every match. I looked dumb carrying a shotgun. I wish they cut all special ammo in doubles. Made it strictly primary. Tell you what, if you never sniper before in PVP, you'll learn after playing doubles SMFH.
-
I agree I'm not a pvp player but do go in now and then just for a laugh. Now I did around 7 or 8 games first night with a friend and we had a laugh won half lost half didn't care and I even had a message from 1 guy saying nice game was fun. I replied yeah was close and fun really enjoyed. All and all we had a laugh playing. But then next day a different more competitive friend who does trials to win said come on and help him. He was going for it getting mad if we lost a round or a game. Wasn't fun to play at all that way.
-
Yeah I'm done with doubles. Teabagged in almost every match, even the ones I win. Really?? Bungie is fine. This community is what has ruined destiny.

2 RespuestasEditado por dunkly: 2/13/2016 3:51:39 AMYou have to use a hand cannon as part of a bounty, thorn is one of only a few hand cannons i have (i only keep exotics) so yeh my thorn came out for 12 kills. Standard t-bag etiquette is in play for doubles as well. Ie. Shutting down a super, 5-0 , using an IB, camping special. Its just the way the games played

5 RespuestasI run icebreaker the entire time because I enjoyed it y1, and finally have a good arena to use it in. No level disadvantages, have a buddy doing radar check while I hardscope down a hallway. The feel of icebreaker is unique, and Ive always enjoyed using it, so this is one event that Ive actually liked. It brings back our y1 gear into competitive value (as much as destiny can be competitive)
-
People play the game how they want to play the game. I don't see how this is a bad thing. It can certainly be frustrating at times. I had some real good fun in this event. I also got spanked around a bunch.
-
2 RespuestasIts PvP and you ask why it brought out the worst in the community?
-
7 RespuestasEvery new release since the game's release itself has seen a slightly more salty playerbase. This is a fact.
-
I just continue to use TLW/Sniper combo and have fun with it
-
1 RespuestaI'll do whatever it takes to win.
-
1 RespuestaPro tip: if they are waiting by special, rush them with TLW and take it. It actually works fairly well
-
2 RespuestasI agree with the thorn and icebreaker stuff, those guns are just down right annoying to see, as for sidearms it's annoying when exploited but if they actually use it good for them, I only really use one when I have the nlb combo with it
-
Me and my girl played this event and finished it. Neither of us used a sniper. We relied heavily on our primaries. We had a blast as well in doing so. So many sweaty matches, so much fun though.
-
1 RespuestaI would recommend suicide method to get the certain ghost. I was planning to suicide for my ghost too but too late. They hotfix it and you'll have to actually play to roll that 0.2% to get a ghost.

1 RespuestaAll you need is the mida...... That is all.

4 RespuestasI neither rush intensly,nor camp intensly.My buddy's K/D is like a .8 Overall.We play together because we know each other in real life so we primarily play for fun.I like sweaty games from time to time,I'm a decent player but tryharding every game in a Valentine's Day themed environment is too much.I'd love to have primary weapon battles with a couple of sniping kills and then we're good...Miss the good old times where you sniped with a Gozen-C and sprayed with a Galahad-E

Its not the game, all the mature players, and all of the smart players have already quit. There are a few guardians from Alpha, Beta, or Day One still around, but only few. What you have left is a bunch of immature self entitled children, who get super upset when you say anything bad about Destiny. Desticles they call them.. thats mainly all that is left. Bad player base = bad game
-
4 Respuestasyou kept telling good players to leave and they did have fun playing in trash
-
3 RespuestasThere are so many and so easy ways to balance all these föaws out, I could do this in a week alone. Yet those Bungle retards do nothing in months and if they do something, it gets even worse. I seriously hate this company.
-
2 RespuestasWhat about people who genuinely use sidearms? Are they exploiting the game?
-
I was just playing it to shout at the screen. Gets the aggression out without hurting anyone.
