Last Iron Banner - Attn Bungie

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.

  • The reward system was better in that more lewt dropped, but the only thing that dropped for me were four chest pieces... Four of the same pieces! Highest was a 291. My buddy had a 310 red death drop, another one had a 319 ghost, lucky bastards!

  • The rewards system was much improved, but Clash just felt weird. After a few matches with people constantly using Party Crasher +1 and Invective in corners, I was getting irritated. It was a climb for the rank 5, but my final match was not anywhere near a high note I was expecting, not to forget even being the last on the losing team, along with getting the chest piece. I felt ashamed and would've donated it to more skillful guardians.... I felt their prying eyes through that Activity Rewards screen.... But I got that Ghost, LMG, and armor though.

  • Agree about the loot changes, and how much better they made the week. Also, (and I am sorry to those that are going to disagree with me because their experience was much different than mine during the week) I actually ENJOYED Clash over Control!!! Instead of watching my teammates NOT play the objective, I just simply dug in and killed the other side with them without having to worry! Did we lose? Sure, but a win was just around the corner, and the games didn't feel nearly as LONG as the control ones did in the past :) There were a few days mid-week when the 'grind' felt real, but overall I enjoyed the last IB more than I have in almost a year.

    • Yep. A big improvement over the previous one. Clash was a refreshing change. Decent rewards for time spent coupled with close games made this IB worthwhile to play. I hope Bungie isn't in a hurry to change, tweak, or adjust anything. Yes, we could try zone control but don't mess with the drops. It's not broken nothing needs to be fixed. Something for Bungie to build off of and maybe improve the KF raid drops?

    • I got 4 Iron Banner chest plates within one day all ranging from 282 to 297. FOUR!!!! But I did have fun though lol That was a smooth iron banner. Besides the four chest plates, I did get a 315 helmet and a 312 ghost. I'll take it! :)

    • I found team pay to be pretty good even though it was clash. I'll play again.

        • I really enjoyed this Iron Banner. Yeah, there were some matches that were frustrating but I still had fun with all the other matches. I kind of wish it lasted longer, haha.

        • I agree. While many complained about the final hours of IB, I was very satisfied with this style of gameplay. It's much nicer than ever before and I hope it remains the constant.

        • Totally agree. I saw so many legendary drops, and I even got the new ship, which is what I wanted most(silly, I know)!!! I had a great time, and I usually avoid pvp. Thought clash was a nice change also, due to lack of frustration from people not grabbing the control points. Huge improvement this week.

          The rewards were nice this time around, I felt....decent playing. Which is saying a lot considering I generally detest PvP. Clash was interesting, I say it works. For Iron Banner nostalgia reasons I did yearn for Control as well. But a big nod to Bungie for recalling they have more than 3 maps to choose from. I was so happy to be back in Blind Watch and Firebase Delphi.

        • Didn't bother after the first day. I've done every iron banner solo and I'm tired of the grind. Nothing but frustration when you're always on the losing team whether or not you do well.

        • Great up until they ended it an hour esrly without telling anyone and made a buuunch of people lose their packages and bounties for no reason. Thx for that.

          • It was more rewarding. My only complaint was I had to buy the vendor hmg, it did not drop for me at all. And only 2 hc drops. Armor drops were plenty, got a few with the perks I wanted.
