Crucible bounties just became doable for me.

Also, I think that the K/D spread is based on your TEAM's performance rather than your own. I had my worst session in the Crucible last night and I was still making progress with a negative (personal) K/D while our team was winning.

It's because it's actually K+A-D spread. With bounties assists ALWAYS count, which I approve of.

No kidding. That's awesome. I was assisting up the wazoo, so that explains it. :)

You don't have to play a lot of games Steve, I'm not sure what it really means, but I think it's just a cumulative 25 K-D spread so a few good runs of killing 2 or more people per life is all you need to cash it in (it might be as easy as killing just 1 guy per life 25 times). 3 games was enough for me and I am a very average 1.26 KD, and I got it in a few games.

If on PS4 add me (PSN:Numinar) and I'll try and help you grind it out if online time syncs up.

I really like Crucible, though I prefer a good co-op dungeon run. Though I also liked Halo online despite sucking at competitive types so that's just how I am wired.

I picked up the Ikora bounty, not realising that one stage requires playing the Crucible rather a lot... I acquired a strong distaste for the Crucible in the beta, and my brief stint there in the released game hasn't cleansed my palate. An Exotic weapon is incentive to try to get past that, but I already have one equipped and you can't equip more than one.

-- Steve'd gladly post the bounty to someone who'd enjoy playing to earn it, except of course for the (entirely appropriate) lack of inter-player loot exchange.

Me neither (reply)

The postmaster trolled me last night. He had a note for a bounty. I got really excited, but when I turned it in it was just a regular crucible bounty. I don't know why I got that this late in the game. I think the Cryptarch put him up to it.

In the meantime, still not a single exotic bounty... (reply)

I hate this stupid RNG.

When I first got the Exotic Bounty I was all like:

Ikora Rey, you gob-wobbling Warlock, why the blink are you getting me to do all these ridonkulous errands?

Then after I completed it I was all like:

A flugel-blasting Solar Shotgun? What in the Name of Light am I supposed to do with a stick like this? I wasted my lives with you. Never again, Ikora Rey, you're not even my Vanguard Mentor!

Now I've upgraded it and used it a bit more I'm all like:

WHOO YEAH INFINITE AMMO SHOTGUN, BEACHES!!!

:D

I've got that bounty right now, so if you like the gun that bodes well for me!

Still have the xyor one too. If you're free late tonight or sometime tomorrow and still have it we should knock it out!

Ah, I gave up on Thorn. Taking up too much space. Working on Bad JuJu now. But that needs Strike completions at the stage I'm at so I wouldn't mind helping :)

I love Invective, but don't keep it on me, usually. Too many other exotics and Legendaries. Heck, I'm making a second one, even... for parts, though, but it it has better perks... Pro-Tip: Run the "Dust Palace" strike and use ONLY Invective until you get to the Final fight. It's quite a thrill.

I'll be on. I know my ways around that fight. ;)

At the moment it's pretty underpowered. My Plan C is significantly better than it on every single stat, and has a more useful unique power (it charges almost instantly when you switch to it). I'm hoping Pocket Infinity gets buffed when they buff the other exotic weapons.
