COMPETITIVE CHANGES (Why does Bungie always do this!?!?) REDRIX GRIND!
For all those who grinded out the Redrix Claymore the initial way Bungie intended, we salute you.
We asked for end game grind for loot that makes you earn it, we got exactly this with Competitive Mode and the Redrix Claymore.
So why make changes to make it easier to attain? It makes no sense to do this when everyone before this update drops had to get it done the hard way.
I would love to see this thread grow with everyone's opinion on this matter, especially the one pertaining to no accruing points for losing streaks?
In fact add more items like this in the future endgame grind in Forsaken, absolutely yes!
I don't want the Redrix's Claymore to become some watered down casual weapon attained item in the game.
I would love to hear everyone's opinion on this topic...
This isn't a rage post, I just want an honest opinion on the matter from the community...
Cheers,
Gjalli

1 ReplyThe grind is just fixed. If this is ranked play, shouldn't you be playing people in your rank opposed to people who match your super secret ranking. That makes sense. The issue is that Bungie releases things with tons of mistakes. They are just fixing what they released in poor fashion. Sorry to tell you that the Redrix you got will be the same as everyone else and there is nothing you can do to make it more special.

More people would have it if more people played. With the current state of comp and trials (ddos and lagswitchers) it’s not worth the time and effort. Bungie knows this and that’s why things have changed

9 RepliesEdited by ImStillCasual: 6/29/2018 7:54:59 PMI imagine it's truly because so few people have it because how potentially challenging it can be. The percentage of players who have hit Fabled Rank has to be incredibly small. I have the Claymore and I thought the amount of points youd lose for going on a loss streak was ridiculous. I do think RBMM has to potential to keep alot of players out of Fabled Rank who would probably get it under the current system. Which Im okay with. That being said, I still don't expect more than 2-3% max of the playerbase to be able to acquire Redrix Claymore before the season ends. I just went on DTR and looked at Glory Ranks for Xbox. It's something like 1238 players currently sitting in Fabled Rank or Higher. A little over 4000 in Fabled Rank Between All 3 platforms. That's gotta be insanely small even if you consider those who may got the weapon but then lost and fell out of Fabled Rank.

1 ReplySo trying to fix the broken competitive play list so more players actually play it becomes one of those I earned my icebreaker posts. Good to see some things never change.

Simple, because you need people in competitve to play against and when you push people away from doing said competitive playlist you get an even smaller fraction of the intended playerbase getting the item.

I soled about 3/4 of the way to getting my claymore and can say that it was definitely a challenge that I both hated and loved. I won games I should of lost and lost games I probably should of won. That being said, I’m glad they are changing the loss streak. Nothing was more annoying then people quitting and loosing the match multiple times in a row, actually yes there is something more annoying, getting booted to orbit through no fault of your own so you loose and get a quitting penalty. I don’t care if I loose because I didn’t do well, but to loose because ppl quit or because you got booted, and to have this while already on a loosing streak just makes it more frustrating. So taking away less points from multiple losses is the only good thing they are changing from my perspective

PvP players crying again...

I don’t know why it wasn’t like this to begin with. How you going to have a ranked playlist that doesn’t match you by rank to other players of a similar rank? Using SBMMR in Comp was real dumb imo, because you never had to go against actual better players as your rank went up, just more people at your skill level. These changes are good. Might actually play Comp now

After 3 weeks of 4 hours a day. I finally got the claymore. Its good if you dont just assume it is a god teir weapon and go rambo with it
-
Because solo glory is terrible in its current state. Too consistently lose because your “teammates “ AFK, quit or are letting their 6 year old kid play for them is beyond frustrating. I’m not nearly streamer level but can hold my own but I can’t carry 3 other people against 4 stacks every round. When I dropped from rank 2 to rank 1 in 1 afternoon I stopped. Am I good enough to get to fabled? Definitely. Would I get there in RBMM. Eventually. That is a good grind and I’d like that a ton better. As is, no heck no

I don't really care since I still won't be playing competitive anyhow, but I think the need for egopoints and/or exclusivity to show that you're better is just kind of immature. I don't even want that pulse rifle, but they responded to the complaints about Crucible ranking in general. Losing points because you joined a losing match was bullshit from the very beginning, and they should have known better. But thankfully, you can gain valor ALL Crucible related activities, so I might actually play IB next time (probably not tho).

3 RepliesWatch Mtash's series on this to understand how downright stupid competitive can be. As for stacked teams, will only make it more skill based and less screw you.

4 RepliesI see you hit 5000 glory, so you're mad because scrubs will be at the 5000 too sooner or later eh, damm. Maybe you should try to feel more important in real life instead of a video game dude.
-
Because a grind for anything in this game shouldn't be gated by the absolute trash heap playstyles most players are contaminated with and it alone.
-
Simple... The Bungie we grew up with no longer exists.... This is Bungo! Bungie’s evil doppelgänger

Remember when exotic bounties that had been started but not completed were automatically completed when The Taken King was released ?
-
Was a hell of a grind but don’t really care. Redrix is collecting dust in my vault, who cares if they do an Oprah and everybody gets a Redrix! At least now I can solo my way up to the shotty.
-
I don't have it yet. No consistent team to run with my stats are shit thanks to people always quitting mid game or joining mid game only to get supered the rest of most games. I'm well above average. I've got over 30 lighthouse runs in D1 once in D2. I know how you feel I would have preferred getting it in the current system but loss streaks are way to harsh. plus facing people in your rank doesn't help when I'm still in the first because of those who quit. Geez I need a new clan lol
-
Well in a way they're making it harder actually, now you'll be consistently pitted against people around your rank, unlike pre- change where you'd often be pitted against inexperienced players and slay them. I think it's going to result in more people getting the gun for sure. But probably even less people breaking through into mythic and ledgend.
-
I wise double is competitive instead of 4 vs 4 . 4 vs 4 is all about team shot. It’s a such no skill mode
-
I don't even play Competieve and I think it's stupid. But I suppose it's Bungie giving in to the overwhelming pushback by whiny losers that complained about loss streaks.

2 RepliesWhat changes? I havent seen any changes mentioned for glory....

Edited by Klaus_Reaper (Adept): 6/29/2018 8:11:38 PMThis video is stupid. What ''real '' changes are you talking about? Make it clear.
