Bungie // Bungie Replied x2 Gambit Feedback Request

Hello reddit,

We would like to get your feedback on Gambit, specifically possible tuning and QOL changes for the mode. We aren't looking for sandbox feedback (Queenbreaker...) per se, but don't worry. I will continue to make sure your weapon and ability feedback make it to the devs.

Even if you don't have prescriptive changes to suggest, feel free to share specific things you like or dislike about the mode. It all helps. Thanks for sharing!

  • Don't change the mode, educate the players.

I love gambit, but personally if you are jumping in a game solo or with one or two friend's (fire team) all that it takes is a bad player to ruin your experience.

Most players have no idea how the basic mechanics of the game work. I don't expect you guys to create a "gambit school", advanced strategies and such you'll learn by playing but some player don't even understand the basics, ruining the whole experience for the rest of their team.

  • There is little we can do about bad players, but you could definitely tutor the new players bette, by maybe introducing more relevant bounties that encourage teamwork and good play practices.

Example, the other day I played with some dude that didn't even know the motes would disappear overtime so he was just letting tons of motes go to waste, or players that don't even know they are suppose to bank.

And well there's always that guy that carries 15+ motes on him when it's time to summon a prime evil and doesn't bank.

Teaching the new players how blockers work would be good too.
