Exotic Quest Steps

So, I know first off this will have the try-hard PVP family try to gloat and show how big their pants are. But it would be nice if they would give an alternative, even if slower and more grindy, for any exotic quest requiring PVP steps. UNLESS the entire thing is locked behind PVP, in which case, it makes more sense. It is annoying for the majority of players, that they go through 5+ steps of a quest to get a new exotic, with no hint whatsoever that it will require PVP. Only for there to suddenly be one or multiple steps for such, some especially tricky or difficult to do if you are either not good or simply do not wanna do PVP. Let us take Lumina for instance. First you are send on a fetch quest, which takes time, for some longer others shorter. Then you need to get 250 Orbs of Light, takes a little bit of work but can be done in reasonable time if you really want. After that you have three different steps which requires going through a nightfall, going through several rounds of activities for points and then getting 100 kills without reloading, two of which can be done at the same time of course. Then you need to get kills/do activities with Rose, simple enough. And then we get dropped on our heads two steps of PVP. One requiring Guardian kills, you either need to kill yourself or hope someone else is using a hand cannon on your team to make progress a bit faster with their kills. And then in Gambit you need to get the kill on an invader in Gambit. BEFORE they kill anyone on your team, that of course includes, yourself. The steps sound simple, easy. For some they are, others they are not. For a variety of reasons and some like myself, would just outright refuse cause for our owns reasons we do not like or want to do PVP. Would it be hard to really add alternatives? Like, killing specific bosses or grinding out lost sectors, having to do menagerie runs or even wait for Xur and do a request for him? They already changed how some exotics are given, works and bounties from Banshee-44 to not require Crucible kills anymore but either that or just doing PVE.

  • IDK, as a mostly solo player I am not too concerned with a bit of PVP added to a quest as long as I don't have to actually win any matches (I completely suck at PVP). But what I get blocked by are quest steps that require a fire team to complete. I would not be bad if the strike requirement could be fulfilled by a random strike with matchmaking that I will eventually hit. In that case I would just back burner the quest and eventually I would end up doing the strike. No, you have to actually form a strike team and go to the quest at the destination. Heck, I am even in a clan but am reluctant to ask my clan mates to go and do some minor quest with me as they are mostly doing endgame raids and its hard enough for them to get people organized just to meet and do those. Just add matchmaking to these quest steps is all I am asking.
