Stop shoving PvP down my throat, please

[b]75% of all the legendaries are gated behind pvp rep / crucible marks[/b] [b]Almost all of the exotic bounties have difficult pvp steps[/b] [i]Thorn – Exotic Handgun -- Kill Guardians in the Crucible using void damage. Deaths slow your progress greatly! Bad Juju – Exotic Pulse Rifle -- Fight in the Crucible and obtain 10,000 points and have a kill to death ratio above 1-1 Invective – Shotgun -- Fight in the Crucible and achieve 25 more kills than deaths. Fate of All Fools – Exotic Scout Rifle -- Multiple PvP steps[/i] [b]Every special event that has occurred is occurring or is scheduled to occur is pvp oriented[/b] [i]Salvage - PvP Combined Arms - PvP Queen's Wrath - PvP/PvE Iron Banner - PvP[/i] I thought Queen's bounty was going to be a pure pve event, but alas 3 out of the 4 bounties for today are, you guessed it, pvp bounties. Why the extreme bias in favor of pvp when this game was touted as a shared world, rpg style loot, exploration heavy, "play your way" kind of game? If you're going to have all these pvp events and do nothing for the pvers you're cutting yourselves off at the knees, and the description of the game offered by Bungie feels misleading. [b]Possible solutions:[/b] Give bounties dual objectives, 1 that's pvp centric and 1 that's pve centric and allow the player to choose which way to finish the bounties. Open up all of the vendors to both currencies. I understand that recycling PvP which kind of creates its own content is easier than creating something new for PvE, but I'd be happy even with a recycled content PvE event mixed in with all of the PvP events. Queen event is the best attempt at that thus far, but all of the other events are purely focused on PvP and it just feels as though the PvE is being jilted.

  • Agreed guardian.There should be to paths you can take when doing these bounties.PVE,and PVP. This would allow players to do what they want.

  • PVP isn't even painful, before I had any rare gear I won all kinds of crap for sucking so bad in the crucible. Rare rewards for getting last place or second to last?!? Sure, I'll take that.

  • I'm not quite as upset but yeah, personally, I don't like it when they "force" pvp on you. One of the greatest things about this game is that you can play it how you want. Frankly, I'm not a huge pvp guy and I don't like the pvp here. About the only pvp I like is Titanfall. Anyway, my biggest gripe is that the factions only take crucible marks. What is up with that? I haven't checked Queen bounties for today, yesterday there was a good mix of pve and pvp so I was happy. I don't think you need to do all the queen bounties, after all. Exotic quests, I would prefer they give you pve or pvp options, not mix pvp into a pve quest. Getting that +25 k/d spread for the shotgun was the least fun I have had playing Destiny since I got it. I'll keep playing the game and I'm having fun but I would like it if they provide pvp or pve options to get the loot.

  • you should really set this thread up over at ---> Feedback but I agree with you 100% about the bounties, though there is an easy way to get marks at least, by handing in materials like spinmetal as an example. you tend to get about 200/hour if you have a good loot circle. you turn these items in at the crucible quartermaster and he will give you 25 crucible rep, 6 crucible marks and 200 glimmer, and you do this 50 of each material per cash in at a time.

  • Couldn't agree more. Loving the game (in theory as there's not much to it at this point) but it desperately needs more PvE content. My concern is that it's been held back for DLC. As far as PvP goes, it's in dire need of some balancing. That, and a few more maps/modes, and people will play it. Without the resentment of being forced to.

  • Do not give into despair. There are 100% PVE ways to get Exotics. Strange coins come from strikes and such and you can buy Exotics from Zur on the weekends (Got my Gjallarhorn from him). Also, the loot chests in the Vault of Glass (the pinnacle of PVE at the moment) can give exotics (Plan C for me). Finally, you can win the double lottery with a purple engram (I got my Voidfang Vestments that way). So don't stress out. PS: I question the statement "pvp oriented" if less than 50% of the Queen's bounties are pvp, but that's none of my business.

  • This queen stuff kills pvp even more. Now after grinding in the actual game to obtain superior armor and weapons, I'm facing these people with 30% less time than me with legendary armor because they spent two hours doing queens bounties and kill orders. And I have to do pvp now, (which I admittedly am not good at, which pisses me off cause I usually am at fps) in order to get bounties and what not. Ugh

    • I completely agree with you. Don't get me wrong, I'm good at 1st person PvP, but it just doesn't float my boat anymore. I bought Destiny for the co-op aspect, and it's a pity that so much emphasis is put on PvP.

      • I agree. PVP is fun but I'll do it when I want to. Don't tell me when to do it. Took me about 2 hours to get 20 head shots with the scout rifle. Yes, I suck

        • Agreed. So far I've seen more PvP queen's bounties than anything else. It's disheartening that they seem to think that everyone wants to play PvP exclusively. I'm sure there are a lot of people who enjoy that side of the game, but as a long time PC player I just can't get into PvP without the precision of a mouse and keyboard.

        • +10000. The crucible is a laggy unbalanced shitfest. I've got some sweet clips of some ridiculous shit happening. I'm going to make a destiny pvp failure montage one of these days. If you can get used to the kill time of your weapon you can actually use the lag as an advantage. Shoot a guy until you know he should be dead and move along. 5 seconds later he'll drop dead.

          • Weirdly enough I like having the mixed PVP / PVE bounties. What's the point of a legendary or exotic item if you don't have to do something challenging for it? Everyone that has Thorn did the 500 void damage in PvP. Everyone that has invective got that 25 K/D spread. It's an achievement that's hard to get, hence why we call them Rare items.

            • There is a bit to much put on to PvP. At least make fraction shops take Vanguard or crucible Marks to be fair for both sides to have access to the gear.

                You dont have to do PvP to get marks or rep. Just gather materials (spinmetal, relic iron, so on and so forth) and then turn them in at the guy who sells crucible weapons. It gives you 5 marks and 25 rep.

                    Exotic ones are annoying, I had a challenge where I had to deal 500 Void damage to enemies. I got that frustrated I just abandoned the quest, -blam!- that for a barrel of laughs.

                    • I agree we'll sorta. I don't mind playing it but it goes for way too long we'll it feels like it. I come off cod ghosts and that's a lot better but it's all you can do really.. A 6 hour story then straight onto online gameplay but the cod games go pretty quick. I had to play crucible to get rank 2 and it's honestly so boring not even that fun

                      • I can't get to 30 without doing any pve. I would rather stick to pvping all day long but I must engage in pve if I want to get to 30. So get off your high horse and consider both parties here. Halo, Bungies last game, wasn't even a pve game and you dare to complain about having to do pvp?

                            Seriously?? I am a level 28 Hunter and I have done pretty much no PVP apart from a few games with friends. All my gear is from PVE. How can people complain about this? There are so many options for PVE. You can't expect 100% of the loot in the game to be available, if you don't play 100% of the game content.
