Destiny Exotic weapons - thorn

Overall I've been quite pleased with Bungie's latest product: Destiny. The gameplay is solid and the universe (even though it is still in its infancy) is already feeling very complete. However, one issue I have found is with the exotic weapon bounties. Right now I have the "Thorn" bounty active. Doing missions on heroic difficulty or killing endless enemies on the moon is certainly no issue, but the current objective it gives me is "use void damage to defeat guardians in the crucible. Death will slow your progress." That last bit is potentially the greatest understatement I've seen in a game to date. I've played halo, fear, l4d, cod etc. all of the classics and been ranked pretty decently in all at some point. Destiny's crucible favors the grinder to begin with, but to boot when faced with a challenge, they disencourage the less skillful with punishing crucible deaths. Let me make this clear again HAVING A NEGATIVE K/D IN CRUCIBLE WILL DISALLOW PROGRESS ON THE THORN BOUNTY. If anyone has thoughts on this or better ways (Other than being a lvl 28 warlock) to complete this bounty, please let me know. Thanks.

  • I too am absolutely frustrated with this. As a hunter I have only special and heavy for void damage... This limit makes it incredibly hard to guarantee kills. And even if I do get a good k/d ratio, if I didn't use the right weapon, I still lose points... I have tried and tried. I get up there and then lose progress all due to better opponents or poor luck. At the moment, I seriously want to just drop the bounty and pick it back up on my titan or warlock...
