How to improve Iron Banner
Some ideas on how to improve Iron Banner for Destiny 2. I just want to let you all know I love Iron Banner but want to see improvements in
1 - More map and game type variety. Instead of the same 3 maps all maps should be in the rotation and you shouldn't be able to see the same map after a game or two. More game types instead of Control there should be all types of 6v6 games like Rift, Zone Control and Clash.
2 - An option to choose the next map and game type. Just like CoD does it Destiny should to. After a game you get 3 choices
Bannerfall - Rift
Random
Twilight Gap - Clash
Simple and Bungie get to see which maps people like and what modes they like for future analysis.
3 - Less Secondary and Heavy Ammo. I think it's silly people running around using their secondary as their primary basically. My idea is you start with 6 rounds and there is only one drop of secondary ammo on either spawn for the whole game. As for heavy I think there should be only one chest of heavy and it drops in the middle of the map. This will make it a scramble for heavy and there is not an abundance of ammo.
4 - Dedicated Servers - For all that is holy please do it. I am tired of lag and red bars just have proper servers and group people together by location.
5 - Matchmaking- I see this different to number 4. There are many times when I am matched up with a team of vegetables and we get smashed then the game to break the teams up and assign new teams only for me to be paired with vegetables again.
People in IB just fail to know how to play the game type and constantly go super negative. I am not an amazing Crucible player but do well and want competent teammates.
6 - Bans - if a player continually leaves games they should be given a ban
Leaves 3 games in a certain period they get a 30min ban
After ban is finished they do they same then they get a 2 hours ban
on the third occasion they get a 24hr Crucible ban.
7 - Faction Rep - I want the rep to change and medallions to be taken away. My idea is winners get full report reward let's say 100 for a win and the losers get 50% of the rep reward. I don't like being on a losing streak getting no wins or rep because I can't control the 5 other players actions.
I have been in matches were players don't cap flags and just hid snipe/shotgun. We get triple capped and destroyed. I shouldn't be punished for that.
8 - Gear - I like how we get rewarded on rank up and Saladins stock but I would like if rank 3 gave us a random weapon or armour at light level 300 because after so long the artifact is kind of useless. So a bit of choice would be nice. Rank 5 packages are perfect.
On the note of gear I am a PS4 player and find exclusive content or locked content to be silly please get rid of this so all players get the same stuff on both consoles.
These are some of my ideas. What are your ideas to help improve our Iron Banner experience?

Shouldn't be able to enter a match with a red bar.

1 Reply[quote][quote]1 - More map and game type variety. [/quote] Yes [quote]2 - An option to choose the next map and game type.[/quote] I like that idea [quote]3 - Less Secondary and Heavy Ammo.[/quote] a) Some people only have around that ammo for their secondary b) I didn't spec my gear for extra secondary and use a sidearm to have some whiney bitch have spec ammo nerfed just like everything else in the game. I take spec ammo every time whether I need it or not. 2 get left for teammates and none for the enemy. c) Heavy makes it interesting and if your playing the objective like you should be instead of worrying about heavy you get a free cap 9/10. Worry about heavy when you have at least 2 caps and are top 3 in your team. Otherwise forget it exists. [quote]4 - Dedicated Servers[/quote] Yes [quote]5 - Matchmaking[/quote] You have to lead by example. I win 3/4 matches and that's underestimating. If you have 3 people who are absolute trash you can still carry the team. I've done it plenty of times. I would rather we be matched by current IB rank however for more of a challenge. [quote]6 - Bans[/quote] Bunjie can tell the diff between lag and consistently dropping matches. Yes these fgts should be penalized. [quote]7 - Faction Rep[/quote] People like to blame [b][u][i]EVERYTHING[/i][/u][/b] and [b][i][u]EVERYBODY[/u][/i][/b] for their shitty gameplay. Blame lag? Yup. Blame teammates? Yup. Blame LL? Yup. Last thing you blame if ever? [b][i][u]YOU[/u][/i][/b]. Accept when you're shit and get better. Until you accept and recognize your weak points "your team" or "lag" will always "make you lose". I wrote an entire psychological page on exactly this. You're lucky to get a gay ass token for being a loser. I don't get a bonus chance at a legendary for beating your ass every game but you do for losing? WTF Bunjie. Don't reward losers. Especially when they whine that they didn't get enough for being a dead weight pile of shit smearing their stink on your 100% win streak. [quote]8 - Gear[/quote] You get plenty of gear from winning IB. I got a 295 gauntlet, 1 310 ghost as default R5 pack, 2 more ghosts at 312 & 316, 304 helm, 299 class item, 298 greaves and 3 Rifles all above 290 highest being 294. Like SRL you get good shit when you don't suck at the game.

3 Replies[quote]1 - More map and game type variety. [/quote] Yes [quote]2 - An option to choose the next map and game type.[/quote] Ok... Except those who don't like that game mode will end up quitting. [quote]3 - Less Secondary and Heavy Ammo.[/quote] Good concept. Poor execution. Yes, reduce secondary and heavy somewhat. But what about those greedy people who take it for themselves? Now the whole team is screwed. As for heavy, that could completely change the game. Ever played a game where one team got all the heavy? It's a massacre. [quote]4 - Dedicated Servers[/quote] Yes [quote]5 - Matchmaking[/quote] Yes, but how? KD? KD from the previous game? From the previous 5 games? How exactly would they do this to be more effective than it is? [quote]6 - Bans[/quote] Very hypocritical yes. I agree, there should be something. But how would they differentiate quitting from lagging out? We know with Trials that they can't. So if internet is spotty, even for a day, you could buy yourself a 24 hour ban. Also, I'll be known to quit when I can't handle a tram anymore. Sue me. [quote]7 - Faction Rep[/quote] Just be happy with the medallions please. We can't please everybody and it is a game based around winning, not participating. [quote]8 - Gear[/quote] Yes. I think switching it around would be nice

I would have been find with IB this time if it weren't for how they nerfed the drops from last time. Talk about disappointing.

Maybe after you reach rank 5 you could get 310-320 drops of whatever Lord Saladin is selling that week

1 ReplyResponding to the OP point by point: 1. Assuming all the maps work for Control, yes. I got both my 40s to rank 5 and if I see Exodus Blue and the two Dreadnaught maps again, I will scream. 2. Not sure that would work. People would pick the game they find easier to grind-or the ones the streamers tell them is-and people with a preference for the others would be boned waiting for matchmaking. 3. Less secondary ammo, possibly. Shotguns still seem to be killing at patently absurd ranges, though not as bad as they were before, and it would limit the sniper usage, forcing you to be tactical and strategic with limited ammo. Heavy ammo, right now the problem really is that challenge modes in KF are handing out Harrowed HMGs all over the place and those things just frigging [i]plaster[/i] you. Heavy ammo isn't the problem. 4. That would solve tons of problems and yet seems so unlikely to happen. Supporting the servers for a game with a population, account wise, that rivals World of Warcraft without sub fees seems to be a losing proposition. And has the problem that comes with MMOs where all the best people would flock to whatever server their favorite streamers were on. Think Iron Banner is fun now? Imagine the delight of an IB if you kept running into the Twitch.tv and Youtube populated servers. 5.Matchmaking should never pit six person fireteams against six randoms. Ever. I don't think a fireteam of more than 3 should be allowed on one team in Iron Banner, if the game can't pit fireteam against fireteam and random versus random. 6. The ban thing...no. If I check the lobby and see me and my five randoms are facing a team of 317-320 people in a fireteam, I'm -blam!-ing bailing that matchmaking. 7. Awarding rep for losing would just cause people to AFK, especially with the alt buff and tempering. However, the massive drawback to the medallion system is...go on a ten match losing streak, win, and you get only a percentage of rep for five losses. The only idea I was would still be vulnerable to AFKing, but maybe 40% of the rep for five medallions when you hit five? This is a tricky fix. Maybe more than 3 daily bounties? 8. Rewards. SImply put, light levels aside, [i]Iron Banner shouldn't drop blues at [b]any[/b] rank, but especially above 3 and definitely at 5. [/i] I actually think there should be a point where blues stop dropping period-maybe Nightfall?-but the raids, Trials, and Iron Banner shouldn't drop blues. Blues dropping in Iron Banner is especially silly since it actively encourages the highest Light possible. The ranks should drop particular ranges, with rank 5 dropping 310-320. Remove "nothing" from the loot table of the entire game, and make it so single motes of light never drop again. Just a few thoughts from a PVP scrublord.

In a week I saw 2 X 320 items drop. That's over 50 games. Second 320 dropped today, took a picture. No, I only watched someone else get them. I normally run all 3 toons. I only run one now. Doubt I will play it after this one is done. It was a complete and absolute, without reprise, waste of my time! Fun: I love lag, lag switchers and those ready to do anything to win! Excitement: I love winning, placing first and getting "no reward" every time. Challenge: I love my hand cannons can't aim at dead targets, far less kill live ones! Maps: played Earth for 10 straight runs! Original... Servers: they are on holiday too. Takes forever to match. Methamphetamine abuse: [b]great[/b] idea to match a player with a game 19000:10000, and drop me in as it is over! [b]Greater[/b] idea to give me the 305 gear. Yes, I really earned that! Insulting to all the players that actually played. And "RNG", rehab really works, go get help. In fact, if you agree to go, I will fork up the $$$$ for you! I will, literally, throw it ($$$) at the screen! Bungie: nice job. Normally companies worry about competitors besting their efforts. No need here. You are doing a great job eliminating yourself from the competition. Destiny 2: after Destiny, you may want to skip the 13th floor...

After a week of clawing up to level 5 in the promise of decent light level drops... and two days of playing at level 5 and NO decent drops... Im done... I'm done with Destiny.

4 RepliesIron Banner just doesn't feel like an end game activity to me as IMO it does very little to actually help level up players. The rewards you buy from Saladin should be 300 light items from the start, not the 280 Vanguard vendor level stuff we're seeing. End of match rewards need to factor in contributions to the team when giving out rewards. It gets really old watching people with 2 caps and less than 5 kills get legendary loot while the guy with 10 caps and +15 kills gets a mote of light. Reforge should be allowed with Iron Banner gear and only Iron Banner gear. Once a guardian reaches rank 5 post match drops should be +310, SRL offered something pretty similar and this would give people a reason to keep playing once they hit the max rank. Just my thoughts

1 ReplyIf Iron Banner had its OWN game mode it would be way much more fun

1 ReplyMore legendary drops. It's been the proverbial barren wasteland for drops since all my characters ranked to 5. It doesn't have to be 315-320 drops either. Just random but if Bungie wants us to keep grinding these events, then they should up the drops. Right now, it almost only pays to rank to 5 and stop playing .... period.

Its just an idea but working to rank 3 then 5 stop dropping blue engrams pls
