The Problem with Shindig in the Crucible
I realized why this quest is so difficult. Say you end a match with a 1.24KD. As it's 2% for a kill and -1% per death, you're scoring a net positive of say 1% or so. But it's a loss (-2%), so you're actually losing points on the quest. If it was just a positive KD for so many games or just wins, this quest wouldn't have so many complaints. But for those of us who don't regularly post 3+ KDs and constant wins with it, it's beyond frustrating. And I earned several Thorns year 1 on my hunter, I can deal with frustrating. This is worse.

1 ReplyEdited by Tryvak: 8/1/2016 5:02:55 PMI have recently completed Shindig by doing the following: 1: Play game modes that are 6v6 and stick with the largest group of players you can. When they retreat, retreat. When they shoot, shoot. After spawn, make a bee line to the group. If the group you are with is not very good leave. I mainly played Clash, but control does work too. That is why I mainly played clash because grouping together maximizes chance to win the match and close up shooting happens more often, which is good for the TLW. 2: I used second and heavy that would help maximize kills, sidearm and machine gun. I would sometimes switch to fusion rifle, but since the TLW is close range I mainly used sidearm and did pretty good with it once I got use to it. I'm not very good with shotguns in crucible, except for maybe the Lord of Wolves ;) 3: Anything that helps you be invisible helps to stay off radar. This helped many times to get surprise attack kills. 4: In fire fight pay attention to your health bar and RETREAT when you need to. 5: Watch for when super is ready and use right away. 6: Don't worry about whether or not your team is winning the match. It does not matter until this step is done. Although sticking with the group we were able to win many matches. By sticking to the above I went from taking weeks to finish the shindig to getting it done in just 6 - 8 hours of playing crucible. I also went from being constantly frustrated to having fun doing this step.

I'm stuck at 75-85. And I am not able to do the crucible if I want to do pvp. When I play it for fun, i might lose progress. This really sucks. This Quest is really the worst gaming experience i have had in my life^^ I don't know about the Thorn Quest. I never did it because I don't like the weapon type

You need to get streaks. As in 2 or more kills without dying. Itll fill it up much more quickly.

It's too easy.

1 ReplyThere's a problem with the quest? Seemed easy to me I got it done in 2 or 3 matches.

2 RepliesI very much understand this. I finished the quest quite some time ago, but I was having the same issue with it. I pretty consistently do well in my crucible matches, but I can't net 2.0+ k/ds though. It's much more difficult. I'm getting better, but it's quite hard to pull that off every game, ESPECIALLY when there are variables like bad teammates and shitty timing catching you in situations that you can't succeed in. I had gotten about 70% in like 3 games and then suddenly I got into terrible games and dropped to like 40%. Finally, I stopped trying to play fair and I camped with my Party Crasher like an asshole and just picked off stragglers in Rumble. I feel absolutely no shame because I honestly believe this quest was poorly put together.

I did it in mayhem. For some reason I consistently get 1.3 - 1.4 kd in mayhem. Boy was I ever surprised! Otherwise I was trying to equip TLW at the last second before a win. That's when I started to notice that Shaxx is now randomly ending matches anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes early! He'll be like, "30 SECONDS REMAINING!" and then the match ends five seconds later, wtf?

Edited by Quarantane : 4/18/2016 7:52:01 PMI'm at 66% right now. I've been trying to do it during mayhem clash when it's available, no shortage of special/heavy, and almost constant grenade, with lots of super. A friend of mine would wait until his super was charged, then equip last word, use super, take last word off. If we were about to lose he would unequip last word, if we were about to win he'd equip it.

3 RepliesYou also get a boost for kill streaks. I think if you manage a 15 kill streak it's decently over halfway done if my memory serves me correctly
