Bungie, please offer a PVE alternative to achieve Lorentz Driver Catalyst
Hi everyone,
Generally I love D2, but it has some mistakes in it. I bought the season pass to get more fun out of the game. Bungie now demands me to kill 50 Guardians to achieve the Lorentz Driver Catalyst. An impossible demand for a new player with only six weeks experience. Because PVP in D2 is an evil mess full of negativity and frustration.
I attempted. In Crucible they put me as noob up against players who have done these PVP maps and routines for years, the top killer even since 2015, and have heroic and mythic ranks in Crucible. So even if I'd want to try "get good" and learn to do PVP better, slowly advance, I get no chance. It's just nonstop dying, shortly after spawning, as noob fodder for highly experienced players.
PVP in D2 tells me one thing: "log off and leave, because D2 is a game meant for only for a small elite of highly experienced gamers, and it's not welcoming for new players." That is what is communicated with the disturbingly bad PVP experience in this game.
It leads to a lot of frustration, anger, misunderstanding, and a whole lot of negative, bad feelings. We had a discussion about Crucible/PVP before in a long thread. A few nasty comments. But mostly nice and friendly, and the conclusion from some great people here was that I should just learn and get better in PVE, and not go into Crucible/PVP again, especially not this late in the season.
I'm happy to follow that advice. But Bungie should be realistic and offer a PVE alternative for the catalyst. There is a huge discrepancy between demanding/forcing PVP upon new players to gain items, and advance in the game in general, and the completely dysfunctional way PVP is setup for new players. Please stop forcing me as noob to be fodder for years-long experienced players in PVP.
Best wishes,
Lisa

It’s not that bad , dont let it tilt you. Put on double targeting double scavenger and play momentum control when the playlist is up. With seasonal boosters it really is like 3 or 4 games even if you play pretty bad. Good luck guardian.
-
Wait for momentum control and pull the right trigger a few times. It really is that easy.
-
Wait for momentum control and you will finish in no time
-
13 kills with the catalyst booster
-
Momentum control is your friend sir. I got it done in that game mode.
-
Just stay in the back and shoot ppl from there...
-
It literally 1 shots to the head . No offense if you cant achieve that then maybe go play checkers

I agree. I’d like to see them offer an optional, non PVP route to the seasonal exotic catalysts, but most likely, they won’t. It’s been this way for a long time. A lot of people use the Momentum game mode to get catalysts completed. The TTK is much shorter in Momentum. Lorentz should one shot. You can also play Gambit, and either invade, or kill invaders, as those count as guardian kills as well:). Also, you’ll want to make sure your season pass is leveled up to where you get a boost for your catalyst completion. Not sure what level that starts, but you can check your pass.. pretty sure it cuts the number of guardian kills by 1/3. Good luck… I’ve still got to complete that catalyst as well.

It's not that bad. I got the Lorentz catalyst, the Witherhoard catalyst, and the Ticuu's catalyst done. Took a long time but the feeling of completing them was satisfying. I'm terrible at PvP lol, and if I can get them done, then I know you can.
