i just played on my gf account doing crucible for the marks.
i walked in circles around the spawn point and shot up in the air.
i did not care who won or lost, i was just there to get the marks.
i got my 2 marks, now i only need 63 more to buy that pair of legendary gauntlets.
that is only 35 more pointless matches when i could have been walking on venus picking up spirit bloom and having FUN.
i could be drunk sniping cabal heads on mars as i slowly walk my way around the relic iron route.
i could be bladedancing my way around the moon getting ascendant materials (or motes of light) to upgrade her legendaries from public events between times i could collect helium.
and if i have vanguard marks from any strikes i do i can buy any materials i need to upgrade her guns and armor if i do not have enough left over from selling what i collected.
but NO, they killed pvE, so i will have to see you in the crucible along with several thousand of my pissed off pvE-only players.
you could pray really hard that we are not on your team, or bungie could add back in materials for marks, either one will do just fine.
the pvP players hated farming pvE for upgrade materials and you gave them the option to buy them, but in doing so you oddly took away the pvE players ability to sell materials for marks and forced us to play pvP.
well, you got what you got, a bunch of useless pvE players clogging up Crucible just to get marks. Even Lord Shaxx is pissed off about us being in there.
is it really that hard to add four more slots to the UI? the code for selling materials for marks was already there. the exchange rate is fine since exploiting it only loses you marks. take away the rep if you are worried about that being exploited. just let the pvE players collect the collectables and sell them for marks like before and continue to the pvP players buy their upgrade materials like they do now.
and everybody will be happy. in their own little world.
or miserable in what used to be the crucible.

I'm Both PvP/PvE. With that being said, I say ALL PvE players that are forced into the crucible should just AFK every match until us PvP players rage the forums out. Then, and only then, will this be fixed.
-
It would be so easy to have roni the vanguard quartermaster buy mats for vanguard marks and the crucible quartermaster sell mats for marks. Simple.

When I see players like u in the crucible I camp and blast everyone that comes after u
-
Same here. I protect them and it's a win/win. I get easy kills and the PvE player that was forced into Crucible dies less while getting the material he/she needs.
-
Dude I still farm rep doing the patrol missions. Im still not playing crucible bungie ha ha ha.
-
Listen my opinion is they should of kept it in but I also think it should of only been for vanguard marks. While I started as pve only I adjusted to doing both because I wanted thorn, invective, pocket infinity and bad juju. I now do PVP for the extra bounties to level gear. Since my conversion I have come to the conclusion that you should only get rewards from doing the activities you do. Should they add some more vendors for pve to compensate for 5 pvp vendors? Maybe, there is a lot more specivity to play style in PVP vs pve imho. But I think the argument could be made. I can't agree with the concept that you get to buy gear specifically offered for doing an action you never did. Maybe a 5:1 conversion either direction... But even then I still don't feel that approach makes any sense. If you want pvp gear do pvp.
-
The faction gear is not specifically geared to PvP. Getting specific abilities to recharge faster and bonuses for your preferred weapon is not remotely specific to PvP. Your argument is null and void. They need the same options for PvE as they do for PvP. Period. Be it more PvE vendors, FWC, Dead Orbit, and New Monarchy all accepting Vanguard Marks, or bringing back trading materials for crucible marks, something needs to change.
-
Not null and void. But I agree with the specification which is why I said the argument could be made for increasing the vendors to have same gear with only vanguard marks. The part I just can't agree with is buying gear from vendors that are use currency from pvp without doing pvp. That said I would like vendors to do the resources for their own marks since there are times I have extra and it'd be nice to dump them.
-
This about sums up probably how most PvE players feel! Well said!
-
I so hear what you saying Bungie is pissing so many pve players off with this bonehead move
-
Ha ha thats awesome. I might join you. Il bring some solar grenades to blind my teamates
-
Awesome post my friend! Could not have said it any better.

Edited by BLACKMESSANGER: 12/3/2014 2:33:32 PMDam great post .... That is exactly the way I do my farming I loved being in my own little world never getting board just farming away from one planet to the next one head shot after another ... Now I must do this PvP crap for marks .... I like you will be playing PvP the same way but going to mix a bit of dancing in the as-well ....
-
Well put.
-
Just put a rubber band around your analog stick and go do something else lol
-
Sadly, you can't. I've tried. It kicks you to orbit for inactivity. I had both sticks and the trigger rubber banded. I even hit square to spawn after dying (when I noticed). It still kicked me.
-
I was kidding, didnt think anyone would actually do that lol
-
Level up your vanguard?
-
her character is level 3 fwc. she just needs the crucible marks to buy the gauntlets she wants. the only way to get them now is pvP. so i did it, and i am still doing it. um...how long is this going to take? it is longer than 5 minutes since there is the matchmaking.
-
Winning gives you more marks might help you save some till, my advice to those crucible noobs you need just hide not run around shooting in the sky dieing over an over... atleast then your team will have a better chance of winning
-
Won't it time you out for activity if you do that, kicking you to orbit?
-
Nope long as you move
-
Well, I tried it. I had both sticks and the trigger rubber banded. I even respawned when I noticed I died. Still booted me for inactivity. SUPER annoying.

Change the tv channel to a kung fu movie once your in crucible and just pretend your controlling bruce lee with your controller.
