Kor left me because I was too scrubby

Kappa.

Welp at least I know what crimson double is about.

The Bungie Bounty is now live. Find these two gentleman on PS4. Join us live at http://twitch.tv/bungie

Deej has the eyes of somebody who is dead inside

 

[Namikaze1]

Emblem got.

Terrible event.

Simply terrible.

I enjoyed SRL in its first hour more than this.

 

[Lnkn52]

This Bungie bounty is going to take a while.

 

[GustyGardens]

It's good to see that the shaders are dropping fairly frequently. That's really all I want from the mode, so if I can get those quickly and be done. Happy Valentines indeed.

Everyone will be done with this mode by the time I get home from work lol

 

[Kadey]

This would be a lot more enjoyable without the special ammo trick. That's literally what all the teams are doing.

So basically every bounty could give you a random probably garbage legendary you won't need. Wonder what white bounty gives.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Voidfang Vestamants are op

 

[Namikaze1]

Everyone will be done with this mode by the time I get home from work lol

I'm hoping for at least one ghost to drop before quitting. Got the emblem and shaders already.

 

[LTWood12]

Broken heart buff should've just been a force barrier w/ war machine.

You like War Machine @_@

Somebody got a Fall 2015 emote from it.

[BreezyLimbo]

I GOT A CRIMSON SHELL

EEYYYYYY

INT+DIS

Edit-I lied I didn't get it

 

[Mass Appeal]

Well I am not surprised by these reactions on the event. I knew it would suck. ..2 v 2 on some of these maps sounds boring...

Their first match the other team quit/went AFK at the end lol

 

[GhaleonEB]

They should have gone all in on the Doubles concept.

There should a Doubles Strike playlist, too.

And a doubles Daily Heroic.

Same buff, too. Would be interesting.

A doubles strike playlist (with matchmaking!) would be great, especially with the buff. Oh man. Now I'm double sad about this event.

 

[Kadey]

Oh damn.

Got both shaders, emblem, one shell. Need the other shell and I'll have everything.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

Seeing the parallels between this thread and past HaloGAF is amusing. Right now, I'd say DestinyGAF is in its Halo Reach phase.

 

[140.85]

tower makes me want to throw up


ugh

Shaders look eh....this event lol

Kinda sad how small this is. Only like 4 new dances, 1 playlist, 1 quest and the only unique gear is ghosts.

Would have preferred this effort go into Quality of Life fixes and a more generous loot end game.

Okay shaders look bad so I don't care whether I get them or not.

Welcome to Thorn Doubles, Guardians.

This is bad.

Got the valentine shader. It's still ugly.

I'm not having fun at all.

Likewise...2v2 sweaties was not what I wanted from a fun event.

This is awful

Crimson Double imo. Rift was sorta fun

Crimson Doubles by far.

This...is not fun.

Thank god for Street Fighter V coming out next week.

Emblem got.

Terrible event.

Simply terrible.

[WheelHoss1]

One for NFs with the illustrious GalaVita.

 

[mehrmantrout]

Can someone more intelligent than me explain the reasoning behind the special ammo nerf when Ice Breaker and Invective exist?

Also the connections were absolutely garbage, Congrats Bungie you finally killed the game

But I LOVED Halo Reach


It's up there with CE and Halo 2 for me.

Broken Heart buff is real.

:'(

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Time to try my Doctrine of Passing with Counterbalance+Braced Frame

 

[Kor of Memory]

This feels like a less enjoyable trials, all around.

We played 6 games I think. I got a shader.

I definitely feel like I'm playing out of obligation, and less out of fun...

 

[Number45]

Anyone around able to share a Golgoroth check point (or failing that, totems)?

Sorry, keep missing when everyone offers. >_<

 

[Lnkn52]

Wow, there is only 6,874 people watching the Bungie stream.

 

[Future PhaZe]

eh

im happy its sweaty--been looking for sweats

 

[Namikaze1]

I feel dirty for using Ice Breaker.

So dirty.

 

[Biggy]

I'm up for some crimson doubles, psn biggy70686

 

[Lnkn52]

I feel dirty for using Ice Breaker.

So dirty.

You were using thorn, so this is beyond dirty.

 

[DonutTurtle]

Nightfall rewards are still terrible. My friend got two ghosts in a row. About to try doubles, let's see how bad it is.

Unless the bounties rain Party Crashers I won't be touching it again

 

[Namikaze1]

Nope. Don't have Thorn since 9/15/15.

 

[Kadey]

Icebreaker is really not making this fun.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Not a fan of the Special Ammo change at all. At least not in Crimson Doubles, though I'm sure the sentiment would carry over to trials/elimination.

It seems like it just makes it easier to steam roll. Whoever wins the first round, likely get special, and thus has a much easier time winning the 2nd round. Repeat until 5-0.

Heavy round can still break the momentum, but it just doesn't feel fair. The way Crimson doubles works, you're likely finishing up the round the first time special spawns, which means you either need to play super defensively until your ammo crate spawns, or hope you get the win.

 

[Lnkn52]

 

[Kor of Memory]

So am I understanding this right?

Icebreaker, Invective, and Sidearms and just making this change to Special Ammo spawns worthless?

Did Bungie really plan this out? Or is this another situation of one department not talking to another.

It's 1 guy trying to figure everything by himself.

But don't worry, Bungie planned it all along @+@

Was my immediate thought when they previewed the patch. Granted, if you're a top tier player you probably like it. But for someone like me who scrapes by it just makes it that much tougher.

Essentially yes. I just wait for my icebreaker to fill up then go to town

 

[SpecX]

LMAO, this is how I felt reading all that negativity

Wow, there is only 6,874 people watching the Bungie stream.

What have they been at in the past?

 

[LTWood12]

LMAO, this is how I felt reading all that negativity



What have they been at in the past?

over 10k at times.

 

[Lnkn52]

Usually a new event is above 15k

Pretty much.


I don't understand the special ammo change when inventive and IB are able to be used in this mode. I just feel like Bungie doesn't think about these things before they pull the trigger. It's just so weird Bungie who had a history with competitive FPS games with over look this.

When you don't have proper resources, the obvious things can be overlooked.

It just doesn't feel very fair, is all.

It sucks trying to compete against two snipers with your primaries. Especially when most ammo crates are in sniper lanes.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

looks like crimson counts as elimination wins/loss

just got elimination bounty done by playing doubles lol

 

[GunnerZ]

Ice Breaker everywhere.....
