Exotic catalyst's

[Alex]

I still dont understand why they put a crucible gate in front of some of the exotic catalyst's.
I hate crucible and dont have the patience and time to "get good" at it.
Theres already some quests that give you the "OR" option so why not just do that with the catalysts as well?

just don't play pvp then..

[Alex]

So you completely missed my point, of course im not going to play pvp but that also means i cant get some of the catalyst's which is why im complaining about it

I would not be against the OR thing, but I don't stress over it.
Are we talking about weapons that are more or less meant for PvP?

[Alex]

I mean pretty much, like ticuus divination for example. I get that some of the weapons are meant for pvp but i like collecting stuff and its frustrating that i cant do that unless i take part of the worst game mode in the game.

If the weapon was mainly for PvP, I can understand the need to do PvP to get the cat. Once again, I would not be against the OR thing to avoid doing PvP. I have a few things waiting on PvP for their cat. If it's not important enough to me, I'm not doing it, not a fan of PvP.

I have seen PvP fans complain that they needed to do PvE to do the cat on some things, the OR thing could fix both sides of that. I still don't stress over it, Bungie is going to do what they do, and sometimes that sucks.

I have a lot of weapons that require Guardian kills to get the catalysts. The total is in the hundreds. Someone who doesn't play a lot of Crucible or invades in Gambit would be lucky to get 5 kills per game.
A lot of those weapons are useless and do less damage than other exotics or just regular dropped weapons. They're basically for show and tell.
I abandoned the quests for them long ago.

This. F*** developers that force you to do crucible. Gamemode sucks and is full of sweats.

With there being a total of 113, you have hundreds needing PvP to do the catalyst?

Stop being bad and just get in there already.

I think he meant he needs hundreds of KILLS for the few exotics that do need the catalyst. I have played for years and I got around 200 kills for the suros regime. And thats 1 of the 4 exotics that need around 250 pvp kills to finish. The rest are nearing zero.

That is of course to addition of the catalyst QUESTS that also need 50 kills to get. A tip is to play nearing the end of the season, after you get lvl 100 and unlock all the boosts. Because that counts your 1 kill as 4 instead. So instead of having to kill 50 guardians per exotic - you just need to kill 13. Thats what I did and now the only catalyst quest left for me is the lorenz driver.
The boost only works for catalyst quests and not the catalysts themselves so the 4 exotics that need pvp kills(that being suros regime, vigilance wing, fate of all fools and mida) still need the specified ammount of kills in pvp(I think its 250 for each - or at least around that)

I have a buddy that swears by Ticcu's and regularly uses it in GM's, and other high end PVE to great effect. I get your point and agree with it however.

Just jump in, throw on a movie, and next thing you know it'll be done and you won't have to touch the trash game mode again. I don't like it either but the devs aren't exactly aware of what the playerbase wants right now.

So unnecessary to call me bad, im not afraid to admit im trash at crucible. Im just complaining that i dont like being forced to play it to access some content.

Don't waste your time with those quests anyway, they're just going to ask you to play 200 strikes after the pvp step anyway.

Mida's got to be the worse with not only a couple hundred PVP kills, but they have to be precision kills. That's the only one I simply won't bother with.
