why would I grind to the higher ranks to obtain gear that is rated for light level 31 when I can already by light level 31 gear from the vendors?
The sniper and auto rifle are very unappealing too.
EDIT: only thing its not useless for is the extra xp

Yea Iron Banner sucks this time around. Kinda like Bungie.
-
That sniper has the impact of ice breaker...
-
30k exp from the bounties which take about 5-6 games , totally worth it
-
I would be more than happy if there were new shaders, emblems and or class items. I'm a sucker for aesthetic collectables.
-
Have u ever tried to play games... for fun? o_0

You can clearly see that Bungie and Activision have no real plan or clear guideline for this game. Iron Banner is trash and PvE is lacking events like that Queen shtuff. If only this wasn't just bounties, killing the same bosses over and over, staring at nothing to "survey the surroundings", use the Ghost to scan nothing of value, etc. This has no ten year plan. If it does, they REALLY need to get that creative director back. Still want the truth why he left. Rumor is Activision wanted to rip out all his hard work and drip bits and pieces of content to people.
-
I don't get why you cannot get the whole set. That in itself would make a lot of people grind for it. Only gloves and boots? No thanks I am gonna get that sniper and reforge the hell out of it though.
-
The problem of IB 3.0 is that it went too early after the release of Dark Below. Probably it would be better if IB has only one piece of armour, but with the light lvl 36.
-
For fun? Jesus people these days...
-
Every Iron Banner has been useless. Plus they're all control matches. Who the fark wants to play control every game? Noone on my friendslist.
-
Not everyone is higher rank though, and from looking at the gear it looks to have better stats than a lot of the vendor gear. I won't be doing it as I don't need the sniper and have a full set of 31 gear. Last IB was a blast though, and did help me gear wise.
-
Ironbanner might actually be fun if it had its own game mode. It would be really cool to have some type of item control game mode, like both teams are fighting for control of a sword. So like both teams have to protect a pillar or conflux. The only way to damage that pillar/conflux is with the sword that spawns in the middle of the map or something like that. When the sword carrier dies the sword has like a 5 sec cool down then spawns at a random location. First team to kill the pillar/conflux wins.

Edited by atpbx1: 12/17/2014 9:21:54 AMBungie- produces gear grinding game then releases a special in game event with no gear to grind. Derp. Bungie, do you want a couple of us to come over and explain to you where you are going wrong?
-
I'm doing it because it gives you more crucible rep than standard crucible, so I can get FtP. Also I want the space bus!
-
What really stings is that the scout rifle, hand cannon, machine gun, and fusion rifle that I worked my butt off getting and spent hundreds of motes on from the last Iron Banner are now totally outclassed by the standard vendor gear...
-
You know that when they first introduced IB the only "gear" you could but we're class items, emblems, and shaders? It was never meant to be a place to "gear up". It's to play in a more competitive pvp environment and I'm having a damn blast. Go run some patrols, pond scum.
-
Ib and tower 31s are noobs i play legit and get raid armor
-
I blame all the asshole PVE elitists whining about "real" 30s for ruining the IB rewards this time.
-
Man that sniper has the chance to be one of the best in the game.. I can't wait
-
SHITTY BANNER
-
I'm doing IB only bcuz u can complete bounties to lvl the new DLC loot
-
It's useless because PvE elitists will bitch if Saladin sold gear with 36 light
-
It's more fun than the regular PvP matches. At least for me. The Auto Rifle looks sick and has great perks, but I may not ending up buying it. Plus ranking up, is even easier than Vanguard or Crucible.
-
higher attack timurs lash. that thing hits as high as a sniper
-
The sniper rifle looks awesome. And only 11k+ glimmer? I'll take two, thanks.
-
I was only going to play if they had gear worth grinding that long for. None of their gear is worth it at all.
