Someone please kill me.... why do they setup events like iron banner to vanish like this.....

So ive had a busy 2 weeks, i decided to dedicate the past 3 days to nonstop playing destiny for iron banner, i had already decided this time i was gonna use my hunter because i used my warlock last time. So not only do i have to work like crazy to catch up with this cabal glimmer farming that is about to make me shoot myself, i still get screwed in the end just like the lasst iron banner. Last iron banner i was playing for hours on sometimes 2 sometimes 5+ every day for a week, i cant remember if i got to rank 5 or what happened but as i have a life i couldnt spend as much time as i needed and wanted to. I have been dreaming about getting a joldars hammer ever since i got wrecked by it in FFA when a friend and i tried teaming up against a good player using one on venus. That was the same day the 1st iron banner ended which i didnt enjoy or play much of. This time i spent at least 32+ hours awake making sure i had the right gear and didnt kill myself playing game after game after game to try for loot. Not only that i was just trying to get to rank 5 for the newer shader i still dont have and that auto rifle to try for rerolls. I was in the middle of a game that coulda made me hit rank 5 but i only had 3 mins to bail and load back to the tower to find out saladin emptied out everything he had except for the banners shaders and class items. Last iron banner i saw over 5 joldars hammers drop in arouund 8 consecutive games, but didnt get one myself, i did get a timure lash which rolled perfectly and i cant count how many is aw given out. This time i was given an updated version of the fusion rifle i already had whooopie, i saw only 2 others given out and nothing else in the past id say 3 days straight at least 12-20 hrs in the iron banner matches which i believe i was told if you do the bounties which i did twice short of 1 i couldnt do you should be able to do it in about 10 hours of wins or about 12-16 hrs avg or something like that i cant give citation i dont remember the link atm. Why in the hell would the devs design it so you have to be there on a reset timer not after the curtain is called on the last current games being played and allow for players to have a day or so to decide what to do with their motes or farm up the crazy glimmer, i would have been sooo happy to buy another sniper just so i could reroll that instead of my old fusion rifle which not once matched its original fully leveled setup nor the new ones..... seriously wth had i had another min or so or thought to leave a min earlier this all could have been avoided..... i love busting my ass and then getting metaphorically yelled at by a game for trying, and never given any warning of how things will or will not turn out like the fact that i had the glimmer and motes of light to reroll a 2nd purchased sniper if i ran short of time like i did..... I wish i could QQ and bitch quit maybe get some chuckles for you guys but idk this is just yet another one of many punts to the nuts ive had to deal with, so many damn things gone wrong and it took till now for me to finally write about it and all just from a stupid iron banner..... i just love how rewarding this game is *sarcasm*

  • Every Iron Banner lasts a week. Last time I got up to rank 5 and got a Hammer, but this week I couldn't with 3 nightfalls and heroic strikes, along with Eris' missions x3, 3 Crota's End raids, and doing as manny bounties as possible to level up some new and upgraded gear I got recently. At least I will be ready next time, but no IB weapons 2.0...

    • You knew how it worked and you didn't get it in in time. That's your own fault. Just got to wait till next time and work faster.

      • The easiest explanation would be that if they kept it they would have to call it an "expansion". Just look at the dark below, after you look past the gear [i]everyone[/i] gets and the raid it's really just a glorified iron banner/queens wrath event. The Destiny companion app even classified "Eris Morn Crota's Bane" as an event and not apart of the tower vendors.

      • Im standing here listening to his dialogue and thinking about how this was supposed to be competitive pvp, when in reality all i had to do was luck out and not be on the losing side every 5 maybe 10 or 20 games and idle online long enough in the matches and i coulda had a better shot than i did putting in work lol.... im starting to really wonder about this game and bungie again.
