Started a new topic: rewards are bad for IB(34 Replies))

I agree I scored 5500 and 7900 on my titan and the guy on the very bottom got 310 fists and chest each of those matchs while I got motes of Light these rewards need to be retooled I am sick of this crap.

None should be below 310. It's endgame. Endgame = character progression. No endgame level content should drop below 310. At all. Ever.

This is just absurd. these guys at BUNGIE just do NOT stop with the incompetence. we were told by Deej (or Cozmo) that we would always be able to bring our gear along and that it would not be made worthless. another lie... Vault space: will be increased. WHY? the only reason our vaults are full is because we have year 1 gear and weapons that we pray will be updated to current stats. lol. so they increase the space but leave our gear behind?? ok... Old raids: still pointless because the drops have old stats. the community has wrote and signed several petitions over the year to have the raids (or loot) updated to current stats but no..."heres a reskin of PoE so shut up" they dont have to write new code for this to be done. weapons can be tweaked at anytime just as fast as you can say "nerf". why are thay doing this to us? we spent hours and hours farming for that stuff just so we can do it again? Logic? Now with this update, legendaries will have to be grinded again...? meaning MORE content made useless. trolls. this is just a sad attempt to give us something to do...oh my, do these guys take the short bus to work? "New sparrows": why? if there is no reason to get a level 40 at 320 light to go on patrol then why add them now? its a bit late and i dont think anyone is going to be riding a sparrow around in PoE even if they could lol. <Fail. Reforge: i bought that expansion because reforge was advertised and they just took it away...wolves and chests no longer pop up and the old PoE gear was left behind...more things taken away. can i get a partial refund? i bought that content in its last week before it was taken away (ill remember that next time you sell a BUNGIE title...all year one players will) this is now a trend with these guys. Making us grind for the same old gear is insulting and very old now after leveling up the same lot of weapons for the 3rd (4th?) time...redundant. This game had so much potential and the "devs" lack creativity (reskins) and respect for the player and the several hours we put into getting that (now useless) gear. This will be my last topic post on this game because i have a brain...and refuse to grind for the same old crap and hang around waiting for an update that will make our gear relevant again...its not going to happen guys. If they really cared about their players, they would have done what we asked so many times before and make ALL gear (old and new) current stats without the need to re-grind it. But, they want the new players to see a populated game so they make us old players go out there and grind for the same old stuff AGAIN instead of giving us something fun to do...no thanks. get creative...not shady. They sure didn't mind putting time and work into those 'sterling chests' that you can buy for $$$ though...am i right? BUNGIE: don't just fix your game. fix your reputation. i like MANY others will never risk buying another one of your titles just to be strung along again with repetition and having things i farm just taken away or made useless. GET REAL!

Half? You're doing better than I am. The overwhelming majority of the legendaries I've seen drop capped out in the mid-280s.

I agree 100%, every time I look at the rewards forums I see the same types of posts. Hell I make the same types of posts. There is no logical reason that the loot system is set up in this manner. Better access to gear is MORE incentive to play, not less...

We were talking about this last night. We also get a lot of 260 - 280 stuff in Trials. Why? If I wore/used the gear that dropped I would get destroyed.

If you want the best IB gear at the highest light, dance wherever you spawn, go 0-19 with no caps and finish dead last in the lobby. It seems to work for everyone I've seen doing it (aka, half my "teammates"...).

Hey, things have been so bad after last Nov Iron Banner that I am now happy if I get Motes of Light. It does not matter if I get first or last place on the matches, I many times get nothing at all. Last night, I played 3 consecutive matches all on the same Phobos map and got nothing at all. Went to bad furious. From the packages, I only got a 312 gauntlet. All else useless. This may well be my last Iron Banner for a while. Update (April 7): Team, for the 1st time I did IB w/ my 2 Alts. I got much better luck on the pkgs. 2nd Alt Pkg 3 315 Sniper Rifle. 3rd Alt Pkg 5 317 Auto Rifle. First time I get any weapon on IB packages.

IMO Ghost shells and class items should NOT contribute to light level. They are primarily cosmetics. Let them have perks and attributes, but get rid of the damn light level. Its a piece of cloth!!! How can cloth be protective against Space magic and bullets??!

I agree, drops should be better. In a game mode where "light level matters" rewards should reflect that as well. I got my three characters to rank 5 and my best reward was 314 boots, and that was below my light level. I don't mind the grind of playing the matches and leveling up in IB, I play because it's fun. But it still should be rewarding, and at the end of the event your characters should better off for having played.

Once you hit rank 3, they'll drop over 300!

No Iron Banner legendary drops should be lower than your light level PERIOD!!! These -blam!- HEADS from bungie team don't know how to motivate players. The only thing they know is raids and trials, like other players don't even exist. Seems like they have shit instead of brains. What's the -blam!-ing point of playing after you reach rank 5 if all drops are below 290. At rank 3 they give same exactly shit like 4 month ago:- artifact level 10!!! This is a -blam!-ing joke. They don't give a damn -blam!- about players who like to play 6 vs 6. You must play what they want in order for you to increase the light level. I don't like to jump like an idiot from ship to ship in order to increase my light level. I want to increase my level playing what I like. The -blam!-ing raids and trials are every week. Iron Banner once a month and they give you shit. -blam!- Bungie, -blam!- Twich, Clitch or WTF is his name. And -blam!- all pussys from bungie team who look good and are between 18 and 35 years old to make it legal. And -blam!- destiny, too. I will play any game but a bungie game from now on. They can go -blam!- themselves. Sorry I said WTF instead of WHAT THE -blam!-!!! I was angry and in hurry.

Should be constant 310 rng based drops for iron banner all items and trials lighthouse 320 all items. Pvp players should have a way to max level. But you may as well wait till the update now because your light levels are going up which means play for more new gear in poe and oryx trials and ib. But yes set light rewards would be nice for ib. For me i do the the raids 3 times a week for my gear its a faster route and only takes an hour for a 320 item then rinse and repeat the challanges..

If you are 300, no drops should be below your level, period.
