People who don't bank a single mote in gambit should have all their gambit related quests reset to 0%
Title. Even new light players should be able to bank a single freaking mote.
-
Hmm. Yes and no. I have personally had games where i actually dont bank anything but i have ripped the opposing team apart with 10+ guardian kills. So denied motes and healed their primeval. So it is more complicated than just bank a mote.

9 RepliesOk.. What if I'm dropping 50-60 kills with a distanced weapon? You do realise it's better to split the motes between 3 than 4? You have a problem with someone keeping the bank clear by melting every blocker that comes thru? You think it's bad if there's a player who jus destroys invaders before they can even ads? Your take shows a distinct failure to understand the mode. Also.. anyone who gets bent over Gbit needs to shut the game down & do something else 👍

1 ReplyNah, I respectfully disagree. It’s often best to have one player refrain from banking intentionally. That person focuses ad-clear and killing blockers, and will usually be your invader also. Doing it this way ensures that far more large blockers are deposited against the other team.

The worst are the 1 that doesn't bank when they have the last motes needed go back in to turn their 9 to 15 and die in the process

Gambit should get reset to 0
-
5 RepliesThe worst are the patrol mode athletes who ignore the drifter saying “bank and youll summon a primevil.” They run around trying to collect more for some odd reason. I cannot stand people who do that. It makes zero sense.

Wait people take gambit serious?

Let’s say I have 85 kills (which I have done) haven’t I provided enough motes for the rest of my team to -blam!- up? Edit: S.n.a.t.ch is a censored word?

1 ReplyCan't lose motes if I dont pick them up. Besides, I'm keeping your bank clear and stonewallling invaders. So you CAN bank all those motes. You're welocme.

Edited by Mags154: 5/29/2022 10:43:10 PMIf I end up in a match made team full of mote pigeons, I leave them to gorge on motes to their content, while I kill ads & blockers, as well as invade. Sometimes not having motes isn't an indicator of a poor team mate. Whats worse is having people shove you out of the way to get to motes, to then die and lose them...

1 ReplyEdited by SARS-COV-2 B.1.617.2: 5/29/2022 1:37:55 PMI’m with the other people here. I usually kill combatants and clear the bank. One less person grabbing motes means the other three can collect 15 motes faster to bank a large blocker.

Nah. I say this because, in the incredibly rare event I play the cancer that is Gambit, I am always getting the full brunt of the enemies in the vicinity, while my teammates aren't really being targeted, so dealing with motes is just a pain in the -blam!- because I'm targeted so aggressively. I adjust my playstyle to how the others are playing in the match to assist, but I've had plenty of matches where I just provide support and cover. I kill everything I see so my teammates can collect, and most often it seems to work out really well, but I don't chase motes unless I absolutely have to, because I don't do well. I stick to what I do well in as much as possible. So, just because a person isn't banking, doesn't mean they aren't contributing. The mode was specifically created around roles, collecting, invading, attacking; they even created specialized armor sets exactly for those roles long ago. Initially it was intended for only one or two people to bank, while the others focused on defense and offense, banking only if the situation required adjusting, and that's why I have to disagree with the post. Perhaps you need to adjust more to work within your teams instead of relying on everyone to do everything, all the time.

Edited by CyberSec911: 5/30/2022 5:13:15 PMI didn’t count the number of people here who tried to explain it to you, but it’s a lot. You just don’t seem to get it. Many of the responses here are from people who have way more Gambit experience than you, but you just tune everyone out and you’re missing a chance to learn from others and improve your win rate. In general I find that players who focus on motes tend to be poor teammates, so if we ever end up in a match together, I hope you are on the other team.
-
No not at all, people can slay out and not collect motes. People who fight for that 1 to 2 extra motes when they have 10 and stop their teammates from getting to 5, 10 or even 15 are the worst kind of players
-
[quote]Title. Even new light players should be able to bank a single freaking mote.[/quote] I often focus on getting kills so that my teammates that are more eager to grab motes can deposit them. Maybe instead of punishing players for not playing how you want, maybe different rewards for players that deposit more motes. But even more for the players that take care of blockers. I end up always taking care of blockers.

8 Replies100% agree on the comments here. If I'm not picking up, I'm not losing. I like blowing adds up more and have someone pick up my motes as I kill. Everybody has a role to play (blocker/invader killer <--I love these guys), mote banker, add killer, and our invader.
-
Edited by Professor H0bo: 5/30/2022 8:07:43 AMHell no. I don't pick up motes unless there are leftovers my teammates didn't grab. If there's one less player fighting for note pickup, then we have less tiny blockers. Do you know how many times me or a teammate have been one mote off a medium or large blocker because someone with two motes on them had to grab the last one on the floor? If I'm not picking up, we have more big blockers than small ones.
-
what is mote?!
-
Okay as one who usually picks up most of the motes I disagree. As long as someone is picking up motes that’s what is most important. I usually pick up motes/ kill blockers until boss dps. It’s frustrating as hell to know I am playing with better players and they are not killing the invaders or invading. Believe me it doesn’t take long for the other team to find out I am picking up motes or using well and heavy for boss dps. I really appreciate teammates that have my back. I can kill blockers, pick up motes and do a large amount of boss dps. Those that take care of the invaders and invade at certain points are worth their weight in gold.
-
It's gambit you think I'm banking a single mote unless I have bounties for it or a seasonal triumph? I wouldn't even be in the mode if not for seasonal bright dust triumphs
-
3 RepliesLet people play the way they want. Blame bungie for how they develop bounties or go find some friends and stay out of the freelance playlists.
-
4 RepliesIf I am trying to get super kills, you can bet I am hanging on to those 15 Motes to delay the primevil has much has I can Because that xp I get from that bounty is more rewarding than winning
-
8 RepliesI play with friends, I’m the dedicated blocker and invader. Thats because I’m also the pvp guy and we all have a good time racking up wins. You can also deposit more motes and deposit higher tier enemies if one guy simply doesn’t pick up any motes.
-
18 RepliesEdited by RopeAdope: 5/30/2022 5:58:41 AMEver hear of add clearing? Dedicated roles like team invader? They even created entire armor classes back in the day. It ain’t all about just motes. Blame Bungie bounties for self serving players in a team game

Remove gambit, then no issues
