I love ToO because of the smaller teams and the tighter communication.
Iron Banner has always been something I forced myself through, just to get the gear rewards. And it seems like every month, Iron Banner lag gets worse and worse. Last month, at least twice a day, I and everyone in my friend list, simultaneously experienced Xbox live downage for 10 minutes at a time.
With TTK releasing soon, and all pre-TTK legendary gear being stuck at Year One levels, I'm not even seeing a point to playing Iron Banner this time around. I don't see the worth in subjecting myself to the lagfest that Iron Banner has slowly turned into.
Do any of you plan to still play? Why? Do you think there's a chance they might make this next IB's gear be TTK gear?
Edit: I decided I'm still gonna play for the rewards because Bungie can never make up their mind about these things. There's gonna be enough vault space to justify holding on to gear with hopes that they may change their minds.

Edited by Luckdog26: 8/25/2015 11:27:04 PMDepends if the next Iron Banner is before or after TTK drops. If it is after, then there is obviously all the reasons in the world to play it, as the new Iron Banner armor and weapons all look awesome. :EDIT and by 'next' iron banner, I presume you meant the one after this one? How about just play for fun?
-
Not really sure there was a purpose to it during all of HoW. Etherized light was nice the first time through I guess.
-
Two words. felwinter's. sniper.
-
I need Silimar's Wrath so I can complete my Iron Banner weapon collection. That's my end goal.

Edited by Raider TCK: 8/25/2015 11:18:07 PMFelwinters lie. The helm with fastball and ashes to asset is basically the perfect helm for pvp.
-
I want that cloak
-
That sniper that's being sold...
-
Need to get full ib gear on my hunter
-
I enjoy it, for whatever reason I don't lag that bad 60% of the time, and when I do I just leave the lobby and join a new one
-
If you love lag and wanting to smash your head against the wall
-
Iron banner bounties, then again you could always just do those day 1 of the next IB. All weapons will be good still for PvP but useless in PvE, trials and future IB. (They have like 160 light when legendaries sell for 280 light)
-
Eehm,........... For fun maybe??? Like: it's a game???
-
Im stocking up on completed iron banner bounties for when it comes around for ttk
-
I will play it just to play crucible. I won't even want any of the stuff sold
-
IMO, if you enjoy pvp, then IB is the perfect playground with matchmaking+level advantage to show off your pvp toys/guns, and have fun.
-
Unless you're a collector and missing something, felwinters, silimars, whatever armors...no, no there is not.
-
Your mom plays it thats why I do haha
-
Yeah don`t do it its a thornparty with unbelivable big ranged shothuns even bigger then my handcannon or auto rifle had

I have everything this game had to offer and i still play. You might find a gem of a pvp weapon. Felwinters is no joke or go full try hard. I never use thorn or last word in pvp. You better believe im doing it this time just because its the last time before patch. Going full douchbag mode and no one can stop me lol thorn, felwinters with shot package\hammer forged\final round. Efredeets with final round, gally, blink lol just wreck face man lol

I am trying to level my friend for year 1vip I started Sunday at level 1 I am at level 22 and all blue gear is fully leveled it's taking forever to level up vanguard Iron banner gives me a legendary that opens my level for raids and level 30 is just in my grasp
-
Because I'm new and don't have many people to game with and it seems to be about the easiest way to get etheric light to get my guy to 34.
-
I'm doing it for Felwinter's. Just because I wont be able to upgrade it for pve, doesn't mean it still wont be a beast in pvp.
-
IB no but pve helping to get people ranked up
-
I still want boots for my hunter. Other then that, fun, get raid legendaries to 365 to keep in my vault.
-
No reason.
-
I don't get why ppl say ib lags. I've played all of them except the first one and I've never experienced lag other than obvious lag switchers which is few and far between.
