Piss Off With The Iron Banner Quest!
Why should we have to do a long, tidious quest just to TURN IN TOKENS for the same non-powerful drops from previous seasons? And you guys are wondering why you are losing players. Another thing, new servers please, I connect to any other game just fine. Get new servers to allow everybody to connect!

The quest needs to go away, period.

Edited by spif: 1/27/2020 10:51:32 PMBecause they need to raise the hours played and they clearly can't do that with good content, so they throw up a shit quest system for stuff we already earned. Wouldn't be too bad if they'd just add freelance IB but that's far too simple a task. :L

Edited by error37: 1/26/2020 11:33:59 AMThe stupidity in this whole construct lies in the fact that the freakin Tokens [b]ARE[/b] part of the rewards for playing Iron Banner already. So you play Iron Banner, get rewarded, and then Bungie tells you that in order to actually get your rewards you must do a thing to be able to get the rewards from doing the other thing. And once you did this one thing, they tell you to do another thing, and a thing after that, and so on. Mother%&$§ers, I did the thing that matters already, playing Iron Banner. Now give me the damn rewards and stick this inflated grind where the sun doesn't shine. This is a very toxic and unhealthy chaining of preconditions that only serves one purpose: Spreading the content thinner and thinner. If you let Bungie get away with this then you better get ready for them dialing the grind up to 11. If this so called "quest" gets accepted in the community, they will just add another step next season. [i]"Complete 25 Spider Bounties to get access to the quest from the Gunsmith that will reward you with a timegated mission from Saint 14 where completing it on all 3 characters will unlock a vendor where you can buy Silver Banner bounties for Bright Dust. You can lower the Bright Dust cost by 80% if you repeat all steps 6 times over 8 weeks by at least completing it once with every subclass - alternatively you can buy the bounties directly for Silver. Once you've completed all Silver Banner bounties you get access to the 18 steps of the Iron Banner quest. Completion of the quest will allow you to turn in Iron Banner tokens. The amount of tokens from playing Iron Banner was reduced by 50%, and the tokens necessary for a Level up with Lord Saladdin was increased to 200.[b] Your light is a dragon, guardian. Show them how to grind![/b]"[/i]

More insulting is that it's for an armor set many of us have already earned twice before.
-
Makes no sense. You already earned the tokens.
-
To artificially extend playtime. For the lack of content output this is the final resort.
-
100% AGREE!!!!!!

Theres a quest step to unlock iron banana rewards?? Hmm that's new to me 😂

5 RepliesI've said this on another post and I'll put it on this one, the quest itself is relatively easy, can be done in a few hours of gameplay no problems. The biggest issue is being forced to play a loadout that is trash, when you have 12 players doing the same thing it makes for a very messy game, numerous times I've loaded into games that is 1 minute away from the mercy rule being applied. Or loaded into a game with a full fire team from the start to be the only one playing the objective, the other 5 are running around with double scouts,shotguns or handcannons taking a beating trying to complete the quest, it's a very messy format at the moment, not enjoyable at all.

I thought they had done away with it, cos I never had to do any bounties before handing in tokens this time 🤷

1 ReplyEdited by Krantzstone: 1/26/2020 12:22:35 AMThey also need to change the quest and bounties so that you can't complete it unless you take Zones, because otherwise you will always get teammates who lose the match for you because they NEVER TAKE THE FREAKIN' @#%@#%#@$%@ ZONES! Edit: In fact, you should _lose_ Iron Banner tokens for every match played where you fail to take Zones and only go for kills.

1 ReplySome people have thousands of tokens but can’t hand them in due to not doing the bounty. I’m fairly sure they don’t need nor want to do more iron banner.

1 ReplyWhile Bungie servers are pretty crap, I suspect the vast majority of connection issues, 'lag' in Crucible is due to network manipulation by cheaters. I have almost never lagged in Crucible in D2, at least not actual latency. A _lot_ of obvious network manipulation though: brief spurts of lag only around certain players, and only under certain conditions like if they see me on radar or on the screen, drophacks kicking you out of the match whenever you're the top scorer on your team and your team is winning/takes back the lead, and of course, the 'mysterious' sudden loss of internet connection entirely when you manage to kill the top scorer on the opposing team (DDoS). Will the wonders of 'hybrid peer-to-peer' never cease. ;P https://www.pcgamer.com/the-strange-science-of-destiny-2s-uniquely-complicated-netcode/

It’s not difficult. But it ruins gameplay.

3 RepliesDidnt they make it super easy?

3 RepliesTheirs no winning with this god damn community

3 RepliesI also struggle getting scout kills (just because assists do not count) but the quest itself is fine given they removed the rocket requirement.

They made Iron Banner quests way too easy. Plus do to everyone complaining that they cannot/will not complete the last step, they autocomplete that for you all. Iron Banner needs a new structure. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Iron Banner does need to be more difficult. I'd rather play with people who enjoy the game or are really good at it. Then a bunch of people who have to find every reason to complain about the absolute easiest setup ever. I am trash at PVP and I'm still saying it's easy. I am trash with a scout rifle and a shotgun. Although I survived 🤷 I do damn well with my "The forward path" auto and submachine gun(I have the recluse but prefer to use Mob Justice) GL guardians
-
At least they're not making us do the rocket launcher step anymore.
-
Yes your highness! We'll get to it right away sire! A brandy, perhaps? To elevate the mood while you wait sire?

I was initially, mainly because Scouts are not my best weapon. I then realised that it wasn't the quest that was the issue, but my inability to do it very well. So, I faffed with different scouts, found the one I preferred, then got better with practice. Same with hand cannons- Which are now my favourite in PvP. Sometimes, you just have to get better at what you're not good at. You may find yourself enjoying a greater variety of weapons as a result, plus end up as a better player.

1 ReplyLol, people are still having trouble with this? At this point you’re just bad.

1 ReplyIts not the quest its the lack of rewards at the end.It should do it how it was at the end of D1 and Rotate game modes too.
