When you inspect the six man fireteam you're going up against and you see it coming before the match. 4+ defender Titans with Alpha Lupi and 1-2 golden gunning hunters.
What happens: Once all the Titans on the team have WoD bubble, they will go straight to the B zone. After stacking 4 armor bubbles on top of each other, the hunters walk through what is now an "unlimited super portal". Of course, the bubbles will build off of themselves so the orbs just keep coming. Meaning, yes, literally NON-STOP GG.
This has happened countless times in one iron banner to me. Now I just leave at the beginning if I suspect it.
The worst part is it turns any average player into a god for the time being. We were up 12k to 6k when they start cheating last night. Yes, it is cheating when you have a highly assisted OHK supercharged gun with at least 3 bullets all the time. Your argument is already invalid. Yes, a vortex nova bomb will clear the bubbles and so will FoH. The fact of the matter is it is extremely difficult to beat and I have yet to do so. I'm far from average in the crucible so when I can beat you, just take it haha
[spoiler]we lost[/spoiler]
If you haven't been victim to this, I fear, it won't be long. It's obviously the "new thing to do" in the crucible. I know the original video from gigglemonster on YouTube is still there(if it's not the original, I don't care).
Why do people exploit this game to this extent? Do you report them? Do you use this method?
EDIT: much strategy, pls teach. Thanks to everyone who isn't hiding in an armor bubble with their other bubble buds
EDIT: someone mentioned tacking orbs out of pvp. I think it's a perfect solution to abusing the system. Earning your own super as opposed to being handed one for running through a bubble is a solid fix.

If your team is using mics you can easily avoid that by communication And if you have some bladedancers they can kill the shielded titans in the bubbles. You just need a team strategy to beat another teams strategy

Edited by Moon: 3/23/2015 11:11:01 AMGonna post what I posted in another thread. If your team has no voidwalkers or strikers then its pretty much ggs. I find it pretty sad that pretty much 90% of the comments here are endorsing a tactic that removes all gunplay from an fps' PvP mode. There's no outplaying your opponents, no strafing, no gunplay. You are literally walking out of a bubble with an over shield, one shooting 3 people with golden gun. Then walk back in, gain your super back instantly then rinse&repeat.

This tactic is hard to maintain and manipulate. It's very easy to counter as well. It only works well against an inexperienced team. My team has done this successfully many times but we could have stomped the team harder just playing regularly. I've come across 2 teams doing it and it was extremely easy to counter them. Most of my teammates left and I kept getting new ones that left as well. Pretty much single handedly won against them. Don't keep trying to rush the bubbles like a retard.

Its called a strategy.... Not cheating
-
I just quit. I don't have time for bullshit like that. It's not even fun to play against its just cowards hiding behind a bubble, I'll save myself the frustration unless I'm running with a full fireteam as well
-
I wouldn't be surprised if they took orbs out of PvP... Look what they had to do when people abused the shoot to loot perk on heavy drops....
-
Or you could quit bitchin and take that ass whoopin and maybe get a strange coin from me
-
It is fixed. They handicapped Ward of Dawn by letting a fist of havoc kill infinite layers of bubbles.
-
Haha it's not cheating it's just well played
-
Its not chrese

It'd be great if we could get a team to do this to Deej when there's a Bungie Bounty.
-
I have had this happen one time in my PvP career... Most of my team quit.. I stay just to watch.. they started to just roam the map making a Defender Bubble Centipede..lol.. I found it hilarious at the time.. I went something like 3 - 4 .. soo not much action... I could see how this would be annoying ..after one round of seeing how it works and what you do it... im done..ive seen enough.. It's kinda of a crappy way of playing 6v6.. ..sure you'll win but with a Crucible Score of 2k.. maybe 3k..lol.. A good 5-6 Fireteam can crush opposing teams in PvP anyways..

Its a salt not a cheese fukboi
-
Two words. Nova bomb
-
Exploit. Hard to counter with randoms. Easiest way to get rid of it is FoH/BD coordination.
-
Bungie already stated they think it's BS and will be looking into it. Again, this is why I wish we had an option for a no super mode. No super and no heavy would be fine also.
-
Yup, definitely cheating. It's changing my view on Titans too. I respect Titans, but the more I see this in the crucible, the less I like them.
-
General advice when confronted with a bubble: Go elsewhere.
-
Get a team and coordinate
-
I'm honestly surprised I haven't seen this personally yet (knock on wood). My team almost did this by accident the other day but we didn't continue it. We were winning by enough anyway.
-
It's not cheating at all. This happened to us today and we still won by 4k points. It's not that hard to counter.
-
Its not a glitch, just a tactic
-
Not cheese... teamwork.
-
It's a coordinated strategy, not a cheese. Being smart and working together to win in a competitive environment isn't cheesing, it's being smart.
-
You know how to counter this? Have your team camp on a flag and cover all entrances. The only way they win is if you feed them kills. I don't know why people just run into 3 bubbles expecting to do anything other than die.
