Thanks Bungie. Your latest update makes the THORN bounty nigh impossible.
UPDATE (not that it matters): Thanks to the enlightening posts (mainly clueing me in about a VOID shotgun): Completed the Crucible requirement in just under 4 hours in 15 Crucible (Control) matches. Main Weapon: Morgue Void Shotgun (fires slow but was adequate); Used Voidwalker and looked for opportune times to use NovaBomb to get Triple (or at least Double) Down. Killed only 2 Guardians with grenades and about 5 with R1 (bitchslap (as I call it)), and about 20 with NovaBomb; the rest of the kills were with that shotgun. Didn't do my usual rush in to the action; I lurked around corners and got'm when they were running or sneaking. Anyway, worked for me; hope this helps you others out there who may have been frustrated as I was (mainly for not having my favorite Crucible weapon a Void weapon).
ORIGINAL POST: (Please note my tongue-in-cheek sarcasm): I know, all you "cool" dudes out there are going to say it's EASY, and so Get Over It. But I have a whopping TWO void weapons (we'll get to abilities later): [1] Atheon's Epilogue, which thanks to Bungie's latest downgrade of Auto Rifles, is one step below useless in the Crucible; [2] and the Plug One.1, which takes 2.5 years to charge only to deliver a week-a$$ spray that kills NO ONE in the Crucible. As for abilities, Bungie also greatly WEAKENED the Voidwalker (Warlock Subclass) so that its Void grenades kill NO ONE. Finally, the only thing that can kill anyone in the Crucible is the Nova Bomb, which of course takes another 2.5 years to build up for one use. Combine all that with "Dying will slow your progress" and there you have it: Warlocks simply cannot get the Thorn bounty as it is now.
Solution? I already deleted the Thorn bounty once. Then they gave it to me again. So I tried again, and after just one run, i'm a whopping 5 out of 500 (now if I had a void shotgun, I could get my usual 20-30 kills and be done with it...)... just sayin'

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of the invective so I don't really care about it or changing the elemental types. The voidwalker subclass is just right if not a touch overpowered in crucible a little weak in the raids but honestly if you're playing hard raid you shouldn't be using voidwalker anyways. And thirdly I think the crucible part of the Thorn bounty is a bit too easy. Let's be honest the Thorn is the strongest hand cannon for pvp hands down I've got 1 300 The Last Word and 1 300 Thorn. The Thorn walks all over TLW with its lingering damage and over penatrate ability, but in all honesty I don't think any part of it is too hard for anyone I actually finished it on my titan before I even started working on my defender class. It's not difficult at all of you play smart and don't go running around the map like a chicken with your head cut off. My opinion is they put the crucible part of this bounty into it to get people to play more as a team and possibly in some sense protect their VIP. Honestly I'm happy with all aspects that you seem to not be but best of luck to you and your future endeveres.
