Just wanted to give a nod to Bungie on this last iron bannerr, I thought it was much improved from the first new attempt. The grind actually felt worth it this time as the reward system was much more plentiful thus making the whole exp. feel a lot less like a grind. I also have to give a big thumbs up to this new system that breaks up teams that are way to unbalanced in an attempt to give everyone a better chance of getting a win here and there, esp. for those who are running solo and found themselves in a poor team assemble/dynamic.

Edited by Cellspot: 11/26/2015 6:14:25 PMXp buff needs to be dialed down as well. Its too easy to get to max rank starting sunday or monday..
-
except I played to rank 5 purely because I wanted a wolf cloak, and I didn't get it. I got 3 hand cannons and 2 armpieces.

Wasn't really a grind if u waited till the last 2 days u only needed to play at least 7-12 games for rank 5
-
Agreed
-
aww... i thought you meant there was not going to be anymore IB.

Actually, I enjoyed the fact that it was a quicker slog than last time, but the drops actually weren't much better. On paper, I got twice as many, sure. But I only got two drops, to my lone drop last time. And it was a chest piece every time. To add insult to injury, my rank 5 package was a 310 Nirwen's (which I had already bought and infused up from last IB), with a broken Counterbalance perk, no third eye like the last one, and nothing noteworthy to replace it with. If they sell the helmet next time around, I *may* run myself through the ringer again, because it's guaranteed and there's no way Bungie can screw me over by eating up what little free time I have to play videogames. But, man. Destiny consistently gives players like me the RNG-finger, and it does get incredibly old.

The grind was actually rewarding with endgame gear dropping. Also love the alt catch up system
-
I loved it this time and my three guardian's each went up 3-5 light levels I was happy
-
Except go back to control.
-
Normally I can never reach rank 5 but thanks to the weekly bounties I finally can.
-
I just can't wait for a mayhem clash Iron Banner. After the sunbreakers are nerfed of course.
-
I have to agree. This was the best IB that I have played. It seemed much more balanced and the level up system was actually attainable (with great bonuses for those of us under 310). I'm more PvE than PvP but this was fun.
-
I generally hate Destiny, but I really liked IB this time around. Level rewards were great and post level 5 rewards were not bad. Running a handcannon and sniper was a hoot, never tried that before.
-
Good post
-
Bump for positivity I couldn't agree more !
-
It was a great week in Destiny.
-
I had fun. Much more fun than standing on totems and jumping around aka the raid.
-
Rewards were great! Severs were horrific
-
Dial down the legendary mark rewards for both IB and Trials. Both crush the rate you can acquire them via pve.
-
You er...Got something brown on the end of your nose there bud. Just saying.
-
Get a higher grimoire/medal score and we'll talk.
-
Js, but teams have always been balanced that way.
-
Misleading thread title, muted.
-
They should have IB every week
-
Agreed. Rewards were definitely worth the grind. Prefer control vs clash tho. Too many campers
