Are you done grinding planetary tokens for that armor you wanted?
Are you done grinding the gunsmith for that rare gun you want?
Are you done grinding the easy new raid for that armor you want because the raid guns suck?
Are you done grinding the crucible for your Better Devils?
Are you done grinding Trials of the Nine tokens because you can't go flawless due to sweaties?
[b]Well have I got the answer for you![/b]
[b]Behold, IRON BANNER![/b] ([i]Now with 80% less iron[/i])
Grind endlessly for [u][b]new[/b] Samurai themed armor[/u] and guns with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], but with the added urgency of a limited event making you grind harder than ever before!
Enjoy the absolute worse this game has to offer, with unbalanced teams, bad spawns, and meta players using the most broken weapons.
Fight an endless war of attrition against camping Warlocks with infinite health, or get killed in literally under a second by the Last Word 2.0. Enjoy the endless droning of sirens as the clan you solo-qued up against captures the entire map. Lose to teams with FIVE TIMES YOUR SCORE who have been spawn killing you for the past five minutes. Get killed by a rocket launcher before you're finished the spawn-in animation, or get cross-mapped by fusion rifles. Try to capture a zone while getting hit from 8 pulse grenades, which aren't at all over powered when compared to the other grenades. Discover how useless anything that isn't the meta really is, as you're killed by the Antiope, Uriel's Gift, MIDA, and Last Hope consistently. Learn how powerful Fist of Havok is as the only roaming panic-button super. Ask yourself why Bungie left the Hunter "Wombo-Combo" in the game, only to never use the wombo-combo again, as your super, Shadow Shot, is literally just Nova Bomb, but completely useless.
Wonder what the point of player choice is, as you discover the "One Path to Victory" Shaxx is always talking about is simply playing the meta, with any semblance of skill optional.
[b] But how is this better than the Iron Banners of old? [/b]
The only difference between Iron Banner and regular Crucible? Gone.
That pesky lore of the Iron Lords nobody cared about? Gone.
The uniquely modeled weapons of previous Iron Banners? Gone.
The ability to buy items as you progress? Gone.
The chance to get Iron Banner items as an post-game reward? Gone.
The ability to re-roll weapons? (bet some of you forgot about that) Gone.
The rewarding experience of obtaining high level loot and powerful items? Gone.
[b] All those toxic downsides of Iron Banner are now more dead than the Iron Lords. [/b]
Instead, grind away for meaningless tokens for the RNG slot machine that gives no guarantee your time will be rewarded. Win low level gear and weapons with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], with a Iron Lord's chance in a SIVA replication chamber of getting the [u]new Iron Banner exclusive [b]Samurai[/b] armor[/u], which doesn't match the theme of Iron Banner one bit. Listen to Overwatch easter eggs that remind you of better games you could be playing, and end your week feeling hollow for spending all your time grinding for the armor you wanted, only to get an endless supply of Iron Banner themed garbage sidearms.
[b] Let us take a moment to thank Bungie for this event. [/b]
This event that showcases every single flaw of Destiny 2.
This event that showcases the faults of the Crucible.
This event that showcases how unrewarding the game is.
This event that has managed to royally piss me off.
[b] Thank you Bungie. [/b]
P.S. I'm never playing Iron Banner again...until some stupid new gear comes out and I force myself to endure more of this cancer and rip my hair out.
EDIT: [b]I GOT THE HELMET! [/b]
[i]My quest is over. I am at rest. [/i]

Loved the "Iron Lords chance in a Siva replication chamber" bit. Funny read!!
-
Ghost War PVP is awesome tey that

Thus far, Iron Banner has been 'Crucible Week', but with spicy armor sets and weapons with higher base stats. I'm not disappointed, but I will be if I don't get all the armor pieces. Especially if they never come back. They might have a different or expanded loot table next time around to ensure that there are new weapons to try and get; like Rocket, Sniper, Shotgun, etc.

It is really bad. Like comically bad lol

Like there should be no reason a light lvl 253 can damage harshly let a lone kill a 303? Just saying I loved IB destiny 1 just for having advantages!

6 RepliesEdited by PR4X1S: 10/16/2017 12:18:22 AMYou forgot to mention the amazing amount of duplicates that drop. Iron banner 8 sets of boots, 4 chests 3 butt rags 😬. Also 3 arms, multiple guns, all useless after you've obtained your first one of each. Then there's the terrible duplicate Exotics, I opened 5 this week, 4 were the gun THE SWEET BUSINESS, you can guess this didn't feel like sweet business to me at all, sort this crap out Bungie I've given up on Banner, all I want is a bloody HELMET.

2 RepliesDo not worry my child this game is not about end game rewards...... let me tell you the truth... the end game is making friends and form online virtual friendships with eachoter..... you want to buy this game and play it so you will get new and more friends.... dont you love it my dear child? [spoiler]lets all be friendssssssssssssss[/spoiler]

D2 need deicated server!!!!! no patato p2p

1 ReplyIt was better when we could purchase class armour from vendors with legendary shards, when all you needed was the helmet to complete your ib gear, you could just purchase it
-
I've turned in 25 packages now and im still trying to complete the armor set. The past six packages have been duplicates. All I want is the handcannon and the warlock bond and then I'm done with IB forever. I miss the old system where you actually got to buy IB gear and actually got IB related drops at the end of a match. What was Bungie thinking? This slot machine loot drop BS is incredibly lame. Who gets excited to get tokens at the end of a raid or IB? I still remember when I got my fatebringer to drop from the templar in VOG. I was so excited after finishing that epic fight and getting an awesome gun I literally ---- myself. Where's the excitement here?
-
Awesome lol
-
You honestly didnt have to write all this people loot drops are enough, for example the fact that it takes forever too get tokens and even if you grind endlessly enough to be called a no life in the real world you still wouldnt get what you wanted *cough im rank 51 and still havent GOTTEN THE HELMET" but hey some people get with 20 ranks so just me right? No.
-
The gear ain't worth it.
-
Shush, I like my Control Playlist [spoiler]😁[/spoiler]

It only took me 39 rank ups to get all the armor for my titan. Items should drop at light level or above. The rng needs fixed. Tokens are fine The one thing I have to say since this community has a brain of a gnat. Just remember how bungie fixes shit. 9 times out of 10 they -blam!- things up worse than what they were. You think tokens are bad wait till you see Bungies solution I guarantee it will be worse. You'll be back to getting 2 guns and 2 armor pieces
