On the eve of the end of Iron Banner 2.. time for an ultimate poll

PvE

2595

PvP

782

Its the last day of Bungies most succesful Destiny event so far (thats not saying much). I'm well aware that most of us much enjoyed Iron Banner this time around. Level advantages were indeed enabled. Power mattered! But so did skill. Wading through the Suros fest of the opening days of the event, to the darker, shotgun infested latterdays as players unleashed their true colors.. one thing is certain - The Destiny community converged upon Iron Banner 2.0 in force. Many people improved their PvP skills exponentially in the process. Rolling with co-ordinated fire-teams or solo-carrying their clueless teammates to victory, the best were able to show their skill. Others realized they sucked absolute balls, and decided to slink to level 5 on the backs of their saddled teammates. Befriending the medallion of iron, they limped towards paradise with their pitiful K/Ds, and reaped the rewards. A sad portion of users realized the fires were too hot for them, and retreated. They gathered en-masse to the forums, demanding hunter nerfs, Titan panic super nerfs, a removal of fusion rifles.. crying about shotgun spam, class imbalance, everything... besides themselves. And yet a final few watched on in agony, unable to play due to time constraints, work, school, etc. They grinded up to rank 2 or 3 perhaps, and were done. As Iron Banner 2.0 draws to a close.. I ask you, Guardians of the Light... which do you prefer? The euphoria of outsmarting sentient, logical, hungry fellow players? The monotonous but equally fun experience of triumphing against strategically deployed and intelligent AI in PVE? Which do you prefer right now?

  • I play PVE, don't bother with the crucible, but I admit I got to rank 4 on my hunter for the gauntlets (I have a real life love of wolves) and they look so much better than prime zealots. When I got to 4 I carried on til 5, bought everything as a souvenir. Thought I'd maybe struggle with the 10 kill streak bounties but found them pretty easy, twice it was done in the first match after picking up my bounties. Maybe took me 9 hours in total over 3 days. I actually started enjoying the PVP side of the game, something which I didn't expect. So not only did I get some better looking gear for my hunter than the raid boots and gauntlets, I also developed a liking for pvp. I did well in it, not great, but I definitely helped the team and also found myself mvp on the winning team a few times too. It's definitely opened my eyes and I'll look at doing more pvp in future but for now, it's back to my raid team for the hard mode and also helping my lower level buddies with nightfall, heroic and the normal raids. I'd like to congratulate everyone who got to level 30 through the Iron banner. Welcome to the club.
