This has been going on for way too long in this game and it is not worth the frustration.
Example. Get pulse rifle kills in that xur game show along with a specific score. Everyone is essentially going ham, which is great for speed running the thing and getting the score. The issue is, you are competing with 5 other people for kills, which means you are at a disadvantage since everyone else are using whatever they want to murder everything in short order.
This, the things for stasis stuff, gambit stuff. These bounties don’t give you credit for assisting. You could literally take this thing down to 1HP and if a teammate sneezes at it and kills it, you don’t get that kill. Same goes the other way. You lob a tornado it there and since it roams around, you are potentially screwing up someone’s efforts to finish a bounty.
Everything doesn’t have to be so complicated and boring. I put some shots on something with a pulse rifle and someone else finishes it, give us both the kill in the count, it’s not like it actually means something else.

3 OdpowiedziI completely agree, in gambit I'm trying to get scout kills but everyone is killing all the weak guys first leaving only shield yellow bars

2 OdpowiedziIt definitely changes the mindset from “team objective” to “me objective”

2 OdpowiedziI feel ya. Kinda hard to get those strike finisher bounties done when you have an eager edge eddy skating forward and killing everything.

1 OdpowiedźAs mentioned, bounties also take away from the primary objective. Players focus on what they need to get done, sometimes to the detriment of the overall activity. I've seen complaints about players not banking motes or not banking motes in gambit when they should. If they have the bounties related to mote banking, that's why. They bank to get their bounties done, not to progress the activity. I'm guilty also. When I have bounties, those are my focus. If the bounty says to kill a boss with a sidearm, that's what I'm trying to do.

Gambit is probably the worst given the limited pve enemies and the competitiveness between teammates.

Agreed 100%, just up the number by 2-3x and make other fireteam kills count. “Oh, but that would incentivize being lazy and AFK!” And? People speed run and solo strikes/GMs anyway, who is it hurting? Ohh your ego? Didn’t know it was more valuable then people have fun and being locked at the mercy of narcissism. My bad, carry on as usual in poor game design that caters to selfishness 👍🏻

3 OdpowiedziI agree with the title. However, if you're referring to star horse bounties they also say "or rapidly defeat enemies". I do a lot of those bounties and never have the weapon equipped that it asks for. Put on a Gally, something that has Chain Reaction on it, or anything capable of crowd dispersing power. Get Star Horses favor and plant yourself high up with a good view of the second arena and fire away. Its impossible to fail those bounties.

While I personally did not have this issue, I can also see why it is an issue.

8 OdpowiedziI’ve never had a problem getting kills for those bounties, including the star horse ones. I don’t think it’s really that big of a deal.

I have zero issues with this.
