New Iron Banner Changes for ROI
If you haven't heard yet, Iron Banner is getting some changes when it comes to rep and bounties. From what I have heard :
-You will not get extra rep for having the shader and emblem equipped
-You will not get extra rep for playing on a later day. You can however get extra rep depending on how frequent you play Iron Banner
-Bounties have now gotten easier
-Bounties give players Iron Banner rewards upon completion
So the question is, will every one like these changes? I question some of the changes, but my by far favorite is the fact that there is no Iron Banner rep multiplier on a later day. Instead you have to actually play. I was kind of sick of each day of Iron Banner getting sweatier.
Do you like these changes? Answer the pole and also leave some feedback in the comments. Also, let me know if I missed any features or changes being made and added to the Iron Banner when ROI launches down in the comments. Thank you!

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von B: 8/9/2016 4:53:41 AMI feel like the "rewards from the bounties" thing are a bit too much, I feel like it's going to be way too easy for players to get that sweat prezzzious lewt (love MoreConsole) and to not care about the other stuff. I fell like they should add a debuff to players who quit an IB match and add a half rep gain when you loose (great idea from a user below in the comments) to encourage players not to leave, because many people join games in progress with his or her team loosing.

More reliable loot drops are good and bad. Good, because sometimes you'll go 5 games in a row with no drops but bad because IB was already a "free loot magnet" for more lazy players who would AFK and ruin games. Maybe locking this extra loot behind bounties will alleviate that, but it's too early to tell. As far as the rep goes, we have to see the system in action to make any judgement on it. I liked that I could take my alts to IB on the last couple of days and max their rep out easily to complete their armor set purchases. The new system is likely better for people who main only one or two characters, though. Will just have to see. Easier bounties is a wash to me. I never really found it too difficult to complete the IB bounties when the game mode actually facilitated those conditions. The real problem with IB bounties isn't their intrinsic difficulty but that they didn't change based on the active mode. For instance, "Top Score" is really easy to get in Rift if you carry and score the Spark a couple times, but can be a nightmare in Clash when your team has been diagnosed with blindness. What IB needs is a bounty system tailored to specific modes instead of the catch-all system they're likely keeping.

Yes!! Finally‚ IB shaders have always been terrible on Warlocks. I hope the emblems are better though cuz I'll still be chasing for them even if Emblems don't provide anything anymore.

3 AntwortenGonna miss the bonus for shaders and emblems, but overall these changes sound good.

3 AntwortenThey just need to take medallions out and give you half the amount of rep for a loss.

2 AntwortenI'm not sure yet, not enough info. My worry is of it takes say 10k rep for rank 5 now (just woke up, not doing even basic maths yet!) that they will just reduce that to 8k and claim that's made it easier. But unreality, by Sunday / Monday previously I was getting 200+ rep per game, 400+ on an alt. With temper and gear buffs gone, we will now get 90 and 180, whatever the day. Therefore for many who did other activities early in the week then did IB from Friday, it sounds like it might take longer. For as many IB as I can remember I've got all 3 characters to rank 5 without using a gold bounty. It's really not many games at all if you are organised about it. I just can't help feeling it will take me considerably more games overall to rank 5 now. The rest of the changes I like, just not more grind. But as I say, not enough info yet, just a concern on my part.

Can they do something about the ghost drops after Rank 5? Sometimes I like the weapons or the armor and I want to keep playing to get more. But when the ghosts come in, that's when I get discouraged and stop
-
Dont like the changes - I like IB as is, actually... {shrug}
-
If its easier, skrubs will love it. Everyone likes easier shit. Nobody wants to work for anything.
-
Idk im still gunna get rank 5
-
I like the opportunity to potentially earn more than the set inventory that Saladin comes with in terms of bounties now rewarding gear.
-
After you have done 1 IB, the worthwhile rewards come from the random drops not the rewards from ranking up. To maximise the random drops, the only way is to grind as much as possible not to speed rank up to 5 on the last day
-
Instant Haakon's Hatchet (an example)? I'll take it.

2 AntwortenDid they get rid of Medallions?
-
2 AntwortenCan't really make a good judgement call since we haven't played it yet. We have not seen how fast we can achieve rank 5, we haven't tried the bounties or even played supremacy. Stupid poll honestly.
-
I think it catters more towards the casual player than those who competitively play IB; yet it's hard to turn your nose up to easier loot.
-
The thing that will annoy me Is the RNG of the reward dropping, I will want discipline and intellect but I'll will only have a handful of chances per iron banner. That will suck.
-
I just hated how if you missed the week he was selling the hand cannon, you had to wait many months and hope he had it again. That or grind out rank 5 on 3 characters every time hoping for it, just to get armor pieces that he's selling right then. Getting frustrated just thinking about it.
-
Meh. I mean I like what hey did with bounties for those of us that don't have the time to reach rank 5 every week. I don't really care about the class item and shaders.
-
My biggest fear is the Bounties dropping items upon completion I feel like it will be like Trials Bounties where it can give you gear but it just gives you a blue engram instead that will piss everyone off as I'm sure the Trials bounties do already
-
2 AntwortenOnly thing I didn't like is no extra XP from Class items, Shaders and Emblems It makes getting the gear pointless and wearing it for IB useless
-
3 AntwortenYou should add to your post that they are going to make it easier to get to rank 5 in place of the day to day rep boost. (Not sure how much easier but that's what they said) And also that they are only taking the boost away for your first character, but your alternate characters will still get it. That's how it sounded to me when they released the details anyway.
-
2 AntwortenIt depends completely if the new point system requires as many games or not to reach Rk 5. As for Alts: you could have them done in one-two games if you had collected lots of different dailies during the week, if you had the item + shader + emblem bonuses. I fear Alts will take longer now... But until we know the new point system: no idea
-
I'm ecstatic about them taking away the rep boost for the emblem/shader/class item. The shaders were awful, along with the Hunter's cloaks. So, not looking like a doofus sounds wonderful to me. :D

3 AntwortenI never was a frequent IB player , but I really like the idea of the bounties granting rewards.. will they still offer the medallion after a loss ?
-
1 AntwortenWill iron banner still be laggy? Will iron banner still throw me in matches against full fireteams? Will iron banner gear be relevant to pvp [i]eg having set bonuses or pvp boosts[/i] or just purely cosmetic? Do we really have to wait every 3 weeks do participate in iron banner? Does most of the iron banner rewards have to come from random drops? How about losses award 1 medal, wins award 3 medals and lord saladin has an amazon catalog full of shit you can purchase. Helmets, gloves, artifacts, weapons, shaders, emotes? Wtf is this 2005? get your shit together bungo....
