Am I the only one who is enjoying this Iron Banner? It's not as bad as I initially thought it was.
Even solo, I'm still able to win games. Just take an active role, either carry the spark or defend the runner. It's not super complicated. Kill the runner if the other team gets it.
Running the spark is actually pretty exciting.
Only map I don't like for Rift is Cathedral of Dusk. It's way too big, difficult to get a bead on the spark runner if the enemy team picks it up.
Connections haven't been terrible, especially the few matches I played earlier today. Only lost one game so far, and it was close.
I dunno, maybe I'm one of the few who plays for fun. Not a lot of that these days, it seems.
[b]TLDR:[/b] [b]Iron Banner is awesome. Who's with me?![/b]

Agreed. Only played five games so far. I play solo and so far my team has won every match. Games seem to go faster...more games in less time means more loot. Don't really need to win games to get to level 5 anyway...just get the bounties done.

Edited by Swiftlock: 1/28/2016 12:40:42 AMIt's awesome if you have an organized team backing you up. It's [b]not[/b] awesome if you're playing solo and facing an organized team. I think that a montage of solo players triumphing over organized veteran teams in IB Rift would make an [u]incredible[/u] montage.

I just don't like the fact the matchmaking is worse after the "fix". Was much more fun last night. I don't recall seeing a red bar last night. Now, I'm not sure I've had a match without half on red bar.

Have to play some. I like rift

Signed

I'm having fun, but I like control better.
-
I don't win solo often, but that's ok cuz I can at least kill people (unlike last IB...)

SIGNED

Didn't play it before IB and I sure as hell won't be playing it after. have found the rift experience a bit dull to tell the truth.IB being a lagging shitfest hasn't helped though.

Signed love this mode it's unique and a good time for sure

Been having a great time actually, in a fireteam or solo. This from someone that doesn't like Crucible, and really didn't like Rift.

This has been the best iron banner yet. Way more teamwork (of you're smart enough to find team) and communication. I hope we get rift again, not every time but hopefully the rotate the game type!
-
How is the loot rate this time round? Last time was disgustingly horrible, probably worst ib yet. The ib before was great though, the clash one.

I was dreading it but played 3 games last night and had a ball! I wouldn't like it if it was Rift regularly but it hasn't been the disaster I was expecting. It's all about capturing the spark. Igniting the rift isn't that important...making sure the other team don't get the spark is the alpha goal

NO. I will not sign. Rift is shite unless you can get in a team. If Bungie continue with this mess of a game they will lose even die hard fans. Seriously which dick in the company thought that Rift was a good idea. Stop using us as social experiments.
-
I was sceptical at the start but now I actually enjoy it, Especially when you get a team that just works!
-
It's decent
-
I'm with ya homie. It's actually flowing nicely. It was rough at first but now it's these epic face offs. Actually very thrilling. Once you take a leading role, and are good to hold certain areas, the team will follow through. Feels great to lead at those times, acting as if your the lone Lord Shaxx in the fight paving the way, lol. So, solo is just fine. Let's keep dominating and doing what ppl think is impossible!
-
Haven't won a game yet, but I'm still going to keep trying. Solo is a hard life.
-
I fully agree.

I used to hate rift and hardly ever played cruicible (except for trials every now and then) since ttk.. I somehow started to enjoy rift (thanks to IB) though i'm not satisfied with rewards lol
