So after all the hype for the new iron banner I was expecting some serious gear here to make the rage of servers kicking you off worth it. I mean I wasn't expecting exotics but more than a shitty side arm and a sub-par pulse rifle. I was actually hoping iron banner would have sword and maybe revamped armor shaders. Minimum I was expecting 300 light lvl gear. But I guess I should be used to disapointment at this point from this game. You give us 1 thing but take 5 or 6 more.

Edited by Guardian3009: 10/14/2015 6:21:56 AMResponse: I personally believe that it was a good idea for them to sell 280 armor and weapons. Although I would prefer it to be more towards 290, you cannot expect yourself to simply play enough games to get to the said rank, and simply be handed over the gear at 300. Thankfully they have increased the chances of gear dropping, depending on your current IB rank. (Ex: Rank 2 drops class items, rank 3 the weekly armor, rank 4 the weapon, etc.) Gear may drop for lower ranks, but this is much less of a chance. The light level of said gear also depends on your own light level (Ex: 302 Guardian may get a 306 class item, if lucky, while a 288 will most likely get something along the lines of a 285 class item). Also, the timer on Lord Saladhead is for bounties only, despite what someone else says.

I'm only doing it for the wolf cloak, after I get it I'm out of iron lagger
-
You were expecting 300? lol It was in the database a month ago listed as 280...

Edited by TheHolyPh33r: 10/13/2015 10:39:17 PMThey actually increased the drop rate during IB If you just keep playing you have a pretty good chance for drops. Seen lots of people getting stuff so far. He just also has a few things you can buy if you wanted it Also the gear resets daily so if you don't like today's gear just wait until tomorrow.

Yeah, lame as hell. Why offer 280 stuff? they should offer 300-310 gear Legendary marks are not so easy to come by and are now account based, not character based Saladin only offers limited armor and weapons..... I really don't get why these developers do some of the things they do, they made a great game that I enjoy playing and playing with my friends, but jesus bungie does some weird shit that makes not a whole lot of sense I bet the trials gear will be 300-310, but then again probably not, because that would make sense lol Another thing they need to address is the nightfall rewards, they suck so so bad now, that, coupled with the removal of the experience bonus I don't even want to bother doing it anymore Seriously @bungie, i dont want antiquated runes, strange coins or motes of light for doing a nightfall, 2 of those things aren't even legendary items and antiquated runes drop on the dreadnought and from the champions.

Someone just got the wolf cloak in the last game I was in as a reward. Poor dog.

I'm only looking to get the side arm for golgoroth, easy taking down the things he shoots

Edited by BrokenLance: 10/14/2015 4:36:28 AMim sad i wont be able to get the titan helmet for like 4 months, that looks sweet, but the daily reset is for bounties only, and according to the 10/1 update only stuff in Saladin's inventory has a chance to drop. Which means there isn't much point to participating. i don't competitively pvp enough to want the guns. i just wanted to look nice before they cycled the gear appearance out like they do every single DLC
-
I'm pretty interested in that pulse rifle tbh. I haven't found a year 2 pulse that I'm completely in love with yet so I want to give it a try. What's most upsetting is that there are only three daily bounties. We'll see how that plays out over the course of the week, but I feel like it's going to make things much more laborious.
-
Lord saladbar is not even wearing new gear himself. He still has all the old stuff on his table as well. It's things like this that I think are a joke.
-
[quote]shitty side arm and a sub-par pulse rifle[/quote]Alright sure, you don't pick these up, meanwhile I'll be having fun with my new top-quality weapons
-
First that pulse rifle is good as -blam!-, second I agree the sharers being the same is bullshit and 3rd we knew the gear would be low level well before today
-
That pulse rife was a spare change with green paint smh
-
Damn. I was expecting 300 ATK/DEF items... (call me a scrubby loser, but I never touched the King's Fall raid) :(
-
Gear didn't drop max level until later IB's the first few always had gear 2 levels lower.

Edited by Hooligantuan: 10/14/2015 3:34:26 AMI looked over what Saladin was offering (and thus what the Iron Banner would be offering) and I just don't see much reason to fight. 1) One piece of armor. 2) Two new emblems. 3) Two old Shaders. 4) One new class item. 5) Two new weapons, both come off the shelf with mediocre perks at 280. Plus, stuff costs Legendary Marks, like anybody has any of those to spare. I just don't give a -blam!- about Iron Banner anymore, especially after I went in balls-out throughout Year 1 and was consistently burned by it as the game went through [i]significant[/i] growing pains.
-
You expected 300 light gear from a crucible playlist that in the end rewards everyone no matter how bad they are? Surely you jest.
-
You guys are whining about getting drops at 280, I haven't even gotten anything to drop.
-
Who cares? All I want is that bad ass looking wolf cloak.
-
i have had a 290 wolf cloak and a 297 ghost drop so you do get some higher level rewards they are just few and far between

That pulse rifle is pretty good
-
Fact: no Iron Banner has ever dropped anything higher than two light levels below the max light of each DLC at the beginning of said DLC. Fact: you can earn armor and weapons by participating in the Iron Banner. Fact?: these armors and weapons may drop from matches above 280. I haven't played any so I'm not sure yet.

Salad man

If bungie thinks they can release one armor piece per iron banner event, they got me -blam!-ED up I ain't playing that shit it's a huge waste of time
