Iron Banner Feedback
First off, I really like Iron Banner. As a solo player, it is the main option that I have in a given season to get pinnacle gear and high stat armor. There are only 2 things that I would suggest changing:
1. Get rid of the bounty requirement to kill guardians at higher light. Iron Banner is supposed to be a pinnacle activity where high light matters. All this does is make people dig through their vaults and hope they kept items at a low enough light to be lower than enough people given that match. It really defeats the point of the entire activity.
2. I think it is just fine to have to get lots of kills with different weapons, capture many zones, etc. My suggestion is instead of having steps that progress one to another, just have all the requirements listed out in one quest step. Then weapons can be properly selected per the map in the rotation, countering the opposing guardians etc.
In summary, allow us to PLAY TO WIN while we grind out all of the quest and bounty requirements.

Edited by chadley71: 3/30/2020 8:22:39 AMExactly this and sorry to all my future match teams later today as I attempt to play with a bow for the first time cause I am being told to. Not exactly playing to win I know but that is IB now a days. Got all the bounties out the way though and the Fusion rifle step seemed easier this time. Bows though FFS.

2 RepliesI'm pretty sure at one point we actually did have a quest that listed a group of weapons to get kills with the move to the next group of weapons, etc. I just don't like the idea of being told what to use. Use a hand canon in a lobby full of team shooting auto rifles? I'm good. Use fusion rifles against the hoard of slide/shotgunning hunters and anteaus ward titans? Nope. Use bows. Come on, in a meta filled with revoker you'd rather force that? I've already earned this armor before, don't make me use crap I don't want to so I can get access to it again.

Getting sick of the clowns at Bungo dictating what weapons we need to use to complete the stupid main IB mission. When I learned that I needed to get fusion rifle, then shotgun kills, then SMG kills(whatever order) I just deleted the silly mission. I’m not going to change my game play for some reskinned crap armor. Not worth my time like most of the crap in this game. My time of play has decreased immensely. Game is getting boring.

1 ReplyThanks for all of the feedback. I was unaware that you could still get the bounties done at a higher light with it just taking longer. This is fine with me then.
-
Give us new armor sets and weapons tired of the same sets since y1
-
4 RepliesMatchmaking still sucks..... Bungie should put more effort on technicians who really understand networks, so matchmaking could be more fair to everyone.
-
It seems like the weapon requirements just encourage people to play like even bigger assholes than usual to get it done as quickly as possible. Yeah it really sucks when you get a bad map for the weapon you're on and then it's either a choice between: a) tanking the match to get as many weapon-specific kills as you can b) playing a "useless" match where you're not progressing the quest or c) leaving the match in search of a better map. (like my urge to quit EVERY time it's Twilight Gap haha)
-
Here my feedback. Iron banner should die a horrible death. Bungie made 300 mil on microtransactions last year. I think they can afford someone that can come up with better ideas.
-
Both ideas 1 & 2 are spot on! I too enjoy IB. It is the one PvP activity that resonates with me. I do not want to see the quest steps altered to ability relate steps - because you only benefit classes that can kill with a grenade while others have zero hope. And I really hate it if I have to spend days on end just to finish ability kills. Even though the bow part was frustrating, I got thru it and enjoyed some tasty shots in the process. It was rather frustrating when I would expect to get a kill only to have it taken. You could make the requirement to share the kill for the weapon quest. After all, if I’m playing the part in a murder does the person making final blow only be the one convicted? No I would be just as guilty, so I too should at least credit on the quest step and an assist for my stats. I found just trying to get a weapon done because of the final blow requirement was the most frustrating part. The rest of the quest, weapon types & amount, are fine and don’t seem over taxing on people to complete. So please consider this my 2nd concur on the above poster suggestion.

Edited by ScottF 2112: 3/27/2020 5:02:03 PMFor #1 they've already granted your wish. There isn't a requirement to kill guardians at higher light. That was just the silly Iron Burden/fusion rifle quest a season or two ago. There is a bounty that rewards more progress for killing higher light guardians, but I've nearly finished that on two characters before having silly quest done on each of them. That isn't a big deal to me since it is just 'more progress' for lowering your light. #2.. Yeah, we nearly all agree. I'm doing the quest on all three characters because it is there, but it means I'm helping the other team win during the SMG and bow part (and maybe on Vostok while finishing the hand cannon part). I should probably gid gud with SMG's and bows, but that wouldn't really mean much outside of this quest.

6 RepliesKilling a guardian that is higher light should be rewarded. You are at a disadvantage.

Edited by Majestic12: 3/27/2020 3:16:04 PMThe quest for iron banner is perfect, how easy can it be guys? Most of the steps carry over to the next step for god sakes and you don’t have to be a lower light level....it’s an option for someone who want to potentially finish quicker or just challenge themselves. The complaints need to be the stale old crappy unimaginative armor and weapons they keep re selling us. And the laggy junk connectivity
-
Only problem I'm having with iron banner is reskin armor and weapons like if you can't design new ones why not bring iron banner and weapons from destiny 1 over like you have done with trials at least we will all have something to go for and add to our collections insted if same reskin after reskin and to be honest do the same with PvP and vanguard to give us the community something to collect.
-
2 RepliesI don't think that quest to kill higher level guardians is active anymore?
-
Its not a requirement to kill guardians at higher light, it gives bonus progress. Read before posting. I can agree with number two however as its finally someone not groaning over something stupid regarding the quest.
-
2 RepliesThere is no requirement to kill players of higher light. Killing higher light just gives you bonus progress towards the bounty
-
good suggestions
-
I agree and enjoy IB as well. I don’t think the quest should be one big step because I like that it gives you a gun of the type to use for the step. The super kills/matches completed/zones controlled a retro active and track across all steps
-
This IB got me really upset. This kinda of "quests" pissing me anyways off, cuz I am getting forced to play something I dont like. Thus like you said there are really not many chances to go for win, when everyone doing his own quests. Also I met very often a group of 5/6 players in enemy team, when I am solo and my team got maximal 3 premade. What is this? Do I need to play 6 group to go for wins or wtf? The laggs etc got more often this season. I will stay naive and say, that happens because of the "overused" internet, cuz a lot of people are at home now.

Resilience means nothing and the lag right now is ridiculous! Destiny has gone downhill.

The bonus progression is incredibly annoying to have to scrounge up some old gear to use and when your up against the meta and sbmm your putting yourself at a disadvantage just to not have to play as many IB matches cause I already hate the activity to begin with facing against stacked teams all the time
-
Its pretty much the only pvp I usually do
-
Brilliant feedback. I'd just like to add remove IB quest. That is all. Stay awesome
-
1 ReplyI play solo the vast majority as well, so Iron Banner is a rare opportunity for me to acquire that Pinnacle Gear too. On your first suggestion, I just wanted to point out the kills on higher light is not a requirement. It grants bonus progress, allowing lower power players to complete those bounties faster. When I stepped into IB for the first time this week, I was around 970 while most other players I saw were 990+. While I died frequently, I actually gained a lot on the bounties as well. For the second suggestion, I couldn't agree more. If there are 20 requirements on the quest, list the 20 parts outright so we can work on them all as we go. I am not surprised by the methodology, though. The "drip feed" of rewards follows the format of content used these days.
-
You don't have to be lower power than people for any of the bounties...
-
I agree with 2, but not really a big deal if it’s not changed I completed the pursuit no problem. 1 you don’t need to be lower light, it just progresses faster if you are. This was actually the first bounty I completed because I played my titan that was 970.
