What these 40 Gambit matches are forcing teams to do
Some afk at worst but for most it goes like this. Lose the first round? Well we better lose the second too because I'm not playing 3 rounds when I need 40 matches. So we throw the game... Bad foresight on this one Bungo. 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.

I joined a fire team like this, we just helped each other get half banked or invasion triumphs. It’s not like the other team would really mind picking up an easy win
-
I got my kills done in about 12 games. Mostly because I had a few not great games during. Now it's time to QB some dudes in the face.
-
I never pick up motes. I kill a bunch of adds and some mote hog runs up from behind to get them anyway, so here take them. All of my mote Triumphs are finished anyway.

Edited by Silent Syzygy: 12/3/2018 11:14:56 PMHonestly I just go into every match and go ape sh&t on some adds so my team members can bank the motes, then I help kill envoys and apply melting point to the primeval and that’s it. Surprisingly, its pretty easy and fun. I don’t carry the burden of motes, I just create a ton of them. It’s been effective in helping my blueberries win matches. It’s not being a try hard team player but it’s not being a lazy piece of sh&t either. Not worrying about acquisition of motes and staying alive is quite liberating for once. I’m currently on my 4th reset so I grow tired of Gambit. That auto will be mine regardless.

Its not forcing anyone to do anything. If people are doing this to get a gun they arent earning the weapon. Do you think the drifter would hand you that gun for doing that, heck no. How would you feel if you where in the last gambit tier trying to go for the reset or working towards malf. You need wins for that. Either way its just selfish and if I knew people where doing that id report and block them. I have no interest in playing any activity with someone who does otherwise.

3 RepliesEdited by blade329: 12/3/2018 11:08:01 PMI'm up to 22 matches, and it's draining me. And I actually like Gambit. I would be miserable if I didn't like it. Thank god it doesn't require wins. That would kill me. Still, I'll take this any day over requiring wins, which I rarely get. And no, I don't ever go AFK. The only time I'll give up is when the game throws me into matches that are all but over and we are losing badly. Then I'll just mess around.

My experience: my buddy's *negativity* about Gambit, in general, caused him to not want to play but rather watch YouTube videos whilst "playing" whereas I was trying so that both rounds would be won THUS decreasing the amount of time required to complete the quest. I'd just keep invading with THUNDERTIRD and get 4 or 5 kills which gets the Drifter a little *too* excited in my opinion. Funny that Bungie couldn't see this one coming? They're walking on egg shells trying to keep everyone happy. Why don't they just have one guy (or gal) there who would know the correct approach (like someone who plays video games, for example). The quest SHOULD have been: get 10 wins in Gambit or something having to do with like hands in poker like get one "full house" (5 wins in a row) plus 2 three-of-a-kinds (3 consecutive wins). That's just off the top of my head but I actually play their game, so.....
-
They need to change it from 40 matches to bank a crap ton of motes. That would solve the problem.
-
7 RepliesYep. It shouldn’t be 40 completions-but 20 wins instead. That way it’ll encourage the right attitude-trying to win to achieve the reward. This completion only BS is the same as a participation trophy...except the trophy is the actual reward. I’ll be honest-I’ve done it a couple of times myself-just to get through this horrendous quest. I don’t want it dragged out any longer than is necessary. Wins bungie-not completions.
-
People that do that are trash I have breakneck already, got the first three steps done in 15 games, winning at least 3/4 of those and banking 30+ a round.
-
Can't fix humanity i'm afraid.
-
Completed last night. Wanted it done before Gambit got really toxic.
-
4 RepliesThis quest was soooooooooooo bad. It was just mundane stuff not well though out and it was pretty boring. The gun is nice i haven't really used it as i'm avoiding doing my dailies until the reset. I wish the quest was more involved and you had to do cool things like bank 100 motes and get team wipe. Not just use ar and stay in playlist.
-
Guy in my clan posted a pic in our discord from one gambit match where the the other team banked zero motes but had alot of kills. Why I’m waiting to go fir that AR.
-
2 RepliesNot gonna lie if i was solo quing and we lost the first i would get a drink, check my phone, do anything but let this hell go on for 3 rounds. Oh wait is that the meatball, must kill the meatball. Dammit now i have to play a third rounds, i hate this.
-
I'm guilty of this. Playing gambit for hours and hours made me not care anymore so I just threw games just to get them over with.
-
You’re 1000% correct. Shit is so fuking annoying. Really bad quest steps.

Edited by One Shot Ted: 12/3/2018 10:26:22 PMI went on LFG here and formed fireteams deficated to throwing matches. Solo gambit is way too stressful for me to be bothered actually playing 40 times over, but I didn't want to screw over other solo players by going AFK. We basically just killed stuff for our kill requirements, then spent the rest of the time "invading" the enemies (by dancing with them). If you ask me, the quest would be better if that part was replaced with something like "Summon 10 primevals first" or "Deposit 75 motes in a game 5 times."
-
I had 29 guardian kills (a personal best) and we lost. One guy was sitting there with 15 motes near the spawn for several minutes, not moving. I went over to throw a knife at his forehead and he popped his ward of dawn and started dancing
-
I got mine over the weekend. I didn't run into many issues, the 4 stacks sucked of course...but a lot of them aren't that great, so it was pretty eye opening actually. I had a couple matches where people quit out, or people went AFK, but not as many as I thought there would be. Overall, not horrible....other than the smell of my sh1t bucket.
-
Think you nailed it. That's how I saw in gambit yesterday.
-
Not bad foresight on Bungie, it's just laziness from players wanting to half-ass anything and everything they can.
-
2 RepliesIt’s an effect of people wanting instant gratification and having to have the weapon as soon as they know about it. I’m guilty of it but realistically we have a full season to grind for it (12 weeks roughly). If people just do the 3 games a week for the weekly milestone you’d have 36 matches complete. With only 4 extra outside what you’d get for the weekly milestone. I’m not one to give Bungie a break but when it comes to loot grinds it’s damned if they do damned if they don’t.

2 RepliesA clan mate and I were talking about this last step of the Breakneck. We are both Dredgen, so besides trying for specific rolls on weapons, the new emblem and shader there was absolutely no reason to try and win the match. I think a better criteria would have been lower the matches down to 20-25 but have them be wins. Completions are counter intuitive to solo players whom maybe chasing wins or completing steps for other bounties/quests.

Yes, it should be win 20 matches not play 40
