Weekly event
Can we do away with the whole ‘weekly challanges only completable in weekly event’ trash already. Every weekly event is actually AIDS. Theres a reason why none of these modes are permanent because no...

@ToastedSarnie It does sound doable. I have a little trouble with orb quests because that means my goal for the match is to make sure I have 10 orbs, not that my team wins. I dislike playing selfishly in a team game. It encourages me to steal orbs from teammates while they are trying to steal orbs from me to get a quest done. Normally in confirmed I couldn't care less how many orbs I get as long as I can make sure my team gets them. I like sniping and will even do suicide plays if I make sure a teammate is close to get the orbs. I don't like my focus being reduced to orb-stealing jerkface. That being said, 10 is not awful and seems to be the "easiest" rainbow star quest they have given so far.

Thats what im saying. The challenges just ruins the integrity of the match. All of a sudden the game is no longer about winning and is now about how many orbs can you steal from your teammates. It Also incentivises running blindly into areas to collect orbs, potentially dying in the process, but its fine because ‘i still got the enemy orb so it was worth the sacrifice.’ It goes from being a team game to basically deathmatch where you are out for yourself, screw the team.

Taunting and public statistics evoke the same self-centered play styles.... it’s like the challenges coupled with emotes/taunts, and stats are just begging for individual gaming. Why hasn’t someone realized these challenges (AND STATS) could be tweaked to ENCOURAGE fun and fair-minded team play?
As @RockScorpion384 stated, “Win 5 matches = 10 stars” doesn’t sound fancy but it would be better than collecting orbs in Vanquish Confirmed because tons of people dislike the mode and as @TLEsquire mentioned, scouring around the map in attempt to gather orbs doesn’t exemplify team spirit. As result, most people play the community portal until they accomplish their goal and leave (never to return) or they fail to complete their goal and turn the game off out of frustration.
