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]

16 packages and still no helm, class item, chest, assault riffle or handcannon.

I don’t see much difference it’s the same old same old Just you have to do a little more as a team witch I don’t have a problem with. Yes I do believe the drops are too easy and I have had every one of his guns 10x over but steady on lad the game is easy as it is for dropping everything you need. If anything it’s too easy!! Just my opinion

7 RepliesGod I just I'm so done with seeing these posts and dismantling the poorly put together arguments that they often contain (including yours). Can you please just leave if you're so frustrated? Pretty please?
-
3 RepliesOkay, this is something I can't understand. Why is everyone getting upset they can't get a full set? You never could get a whole set in one IB week if I'm not mistaken. They've changed it so you now have the opportunity to get a whole set in the week, you just likely have to play obsessively. People are still upset. Are people mad because others had RNG on their side and got a set? Just not sure I'm getting the basis for complaining... about that anyway. Plenty of other warranted complaints to make.

3 RepliesEdited by Courage_Wolf_Sez: 10/16/2017 4:33:39 AMYou must not have played IB all that much in D1 if you think broken weapons, bad matchmaking, scrub tactics are unique to D2 or believe it's even on the level of IB in D1. Lol didn't the Suros Regime get nerfed BECAUSE of Iron Banner?? Truth be told, there are no true broken weapons in this game, you can complain about teamshots and nerfed abilities, but there is nothing close to what Thorn, TLW, Suros, the Vex, DoP, or Hawksaw Also, if you think IB weapons weren't reskins in D1 til RoI rolled into town, yooooouuuu better get your memory checked.

After grinding 340 some tokens in IB just to get boots 3 times (out of 17 packages), i can confidently say, f*** this backwards token/loot system, pointless artificial longevity. Do they literally have no one there that tests this crap? Or do they just have 0 f***s to give now?
-
Lol the accuracy of this is killing me, I laugh cause if I don't I'll cry... Especially about that last little sentence.

Edited by PANiC ATTACK3R: 10/16/2017 9:34:02 AMbeen grinding IB for days, winning almost all matches! been rewarded with what amounts to sweet -blam!- ALL!. 12 or more -blam!-ing leg armor !!(dont use as have exotics) 6 plus Arm armor! 1 IB AR NOT A SINGLE -blam!-ING HELMET or CHEST PIECE utter waste of time, as is playing the game in general except on a Tuesday!. I hoped IB would at-least give me something worth doing after Tuesday..nope so glad i spent all that money on what amounts to a piss poor DLC that sent everything great about Destiny1 backward into a watery pile of shit.
-
2 RepliesJust saying you don’t need MIDA to win, I’ve been kicking people’s butts with the IB Pulse and Sub Machine Gun.
-
This is exactly how I feel. Turned in 23 packages, still can’t get a full set of armor. At least I have 6 chest pieces. I hate IBC
-
Everyone blaming the weapons for there lack of skill are just scrubs !
-
The fusion rifle makes me happy, As I stand amused, Over 4 dead guardians.

Edited by OkamiToge: 10/16/2017 7:07:00 AMDon't forget getting matched up against damn lagging ass Spain players, your matchmaking is complete shit bungie.
-
plot twist. level advantages were enabled!!!
-
That beautifully summed the shittest game of 2017 love it 10/10.

4 RepliesJust had matchmaking put me in a game by myself against a full fireteam! Thanks Bungie great matchmaking it's so much fun.
-
I wish I could upvote 100 times. Perfectly worded.
-
I've opened like 35 freaking iron banner packages and I swear 28 of them where the sidearm. I just need the warlock boots, FIX YOUR GAME

1 ReplyYou forget the team lags lol
-
Yeah this game sucks

Edited by bottle_o_becks: 10/16/2017 8:59:25 AMI don’t remember getting a full armour set and all the guns (except the fusion) in d1 iron banner,it took 3 separate evens to do that. Although unless there are different guns in season 2 IB then I’m not sure I’ll be playing. Oh and please give us s 6v6 option or a solo queue option.

[quote][u]Weapons[/u] A good majority if not all weapons feel the same. I like the idea of adding mods to weapons but let's really add mods to them. In Destiny 1 I had the Vanquisher Auto-Rifle and my brother did as well but his had double the amount of bullets in the magazine; same gun but yet different. I would like to get a Gun and go to the Gunsmith and be able to purchase extended mags, scopes, longer or shorter barrel, rapid fire, and ofcourse energy type. I like the feeling that even though someone else has the same weapons I was able to make it my own. I also liked the perks in Destiny 1 vs various enemies in PVE which most weapons in Destiny 2 don't have. I.E +percentage damage against (insert enemy), regain health when certain enemy is killed etc etc. [u]Armour[/u] There is no Difference in Armour between any of the legendary armour pieces other then the appearance. Since certain pieces of armour are redeemed only at a planet's vendor shouldn't the armour atleast give you a perk against the types of enemies on that planet and or unlock a special perk when a complete set is worn. Exotic or Legendary Armour Quest that are planet specific only given once you hit a certain level at the respected vendor. [u]Factions[/u] Between New Monarchy, Dead Orbit, and Future War Cult there should be unique Ships, Sparrows, weapons and armour that are specific to each faction that can be purchased if you aren't in the faction. There should be perks specific to each faction piece of armour and possibly turns one piece into an Exotic when all worn together. An Exotic primaries, energy, and power weapons should be unique to each faction. [i]Faction Rally[/i] There should not only be weekly faction donations but in addition a crucible game mode called Faction Wars or something along those lines where you are pitted against other factions in a 4v4v4 where you get more opportunities for faction loot. In Faction Wars you should only be allowed to use Faction Armour and Weapons and light level should matter. [u]Iron Banner[/u] Playing Iron Banner this week felt like something was missing, maybe the fact light level didn't matter or loot drops were out of my control and when I reached Iron Banner lvl 10 all received was an Emblem which does nothing for me. Iron Banner should've had light level mattered, maybe something like able to equip more then one exotic weapon at a time, and or supers have shorter cool down time. [i]Iron Banner Loot[/i] There should be Iron Banner Exotics given in quest once you hit a certain level in Iron Banner. When Iron Banner gear exotic or legendary is equipped they should all have iron banner specific perks I.E xp and token bonuses. [u]Exotics[/u] Some Exotics do not feel exotic well most of them. They feel like some Legendaries from Destiny 1 just with one or two perks. [i]Exotic Ideas[/i] Duel wield Hand canons/ Sidearms/ SMGs either for the kinetic slot or energy slot if it's an Energy Weapon maybe one is arc/void/solar and the other is another energy type. Grenade launcher that changes energy type depending on what class you use whether it be Arc/Solar/Void and then the ammo would be the grenade equipped meaning that even though it's the same gun it could many variations depending on your class or damage type. Fusion Rifle that has 3 rounds in its magazine and changes energy type every time it's fired and each type of energy has different characteristics. Dual Wielding swords we have the sky burners oath the icarus shotgun I think a cool addition would be the swords that the Cabal Maulers have. [i]Xur[/i] I think Xur should only be selling gear from Destiny 1.[/quote]
