Seeking constructive feedback.
Tell me about your experience. Please stay on topic.
Were you detecting an advantage attributed to your more powerful gear and weapons? Did the experience feel different than standard Crucible combat?
Talk to me, Guardians.
UPDATE: I know people quit games when they know they won't win. I'm more curious about your perceptions for how the power-level advantages work. Help me help you. Stay on target!

I enjoy IB although I don't feel it plays any different. What's gets me is that last time it was around I had to grind to lvl 4 to get boots of 33 light, now flash forward a few weeks n look the same boots but 36 light -blam!- my life an no way to just reforge them thanks a lot. I have all raid gear Im just a fan of the IB looking gear, also I've partook every time in the IB when are you going to sell a -blam!-ing helmet?

3 RepliesLevel advantage doesn't exist in iron banner
-
Feedback eh? Well it's still extremely laggy. Everyone is level 31 or 32 so level advantage is a joke. The reputation meter resets every iron banner so that's a real grind and you want us to grind to level 4 for boots. Level 4!!! Umm some of us have jobs and lives. Exactly how could we do that and do it with multiple character classes?? No way. The rewards for the effort just ain't there. I'm done with the silly diamond reputation meter. And not happy that lord Sally can't keep my guardian records. Did he lose my records??! Do they have computer records or paper records in the future cause I was level 4 a few weeks ago but he loves to reset it each time he comes to the tower. No thanks. Not sure how many folks enjoy grinding and how many will stick with the product if you all continue that in the future but good luck. Best of luck Bungie. Let me know if you ever make another Marathon game. Thanks. Bye.

We should get bonus points on kills with Iron Banner guns. Not sure why this hasn't been added.
-
I haven't seen one legendary weapon drop for anyone. Such crappy drop rates.
-
I wish the price of gear wasn't so insane either that or we need more cash per victory in crucible
-
Deej you're a pegboi OT: I kinda wanted to get the Shotgun. But rank four on IB? Nah. Forget it. Especially to watch those god-awful Crucible rewards drop. I'm sick of watching triple negative KD's get the Exotic Rocket Launcher the PvP side of the community grind days for. PvP needs work, Bungie. Lots. Hoping 1.1.1 will do some good.
-
I want to know why the lag in PvP is more frequent now??? I almost always have a green bar but a lot of games at least half the players have red bars and the lag is terrible. I never had this problem until the last month or so. I'm tired of shooting someone in the head and not knowing they are dead until 10 seconds afterwards...or trying to re spawn and nothing happens for 30 seconds...wtf is up with that...

4 RepliesIron Banner is a little fusion rifle/ auto rifle heavy. However I think/hope 1.1.1 fixes that. More importantly the LAG in all crucible modes has been horrendous. .. I have tried resetting my router and I know it isn't my connection (I have fiber optic with 30mbs symetrical) [b][u]so the biggest problem u guys should tackle with Iron Banner is the lag.[/u][/b]

Edited by BeanzSkin: 2/22/2015 1:52:38 AMThe only difference I detect is a generally quicker TTK. That's all. Level doesn't seem to matter. The whole thing just feels like a sped up version of the crucible. I hate it. The quicker TTK means Melee classes like the Titan and Bladedancer are severely handicapped, even at max level, because they can't close the gap to actually connect with a melee before they are gunned down. The TTK unbalances the experience. I have found it horrendous. Also, impact seems to be the stat that matters most. High impact 274-300 weapons are still overly effective (which is stupid).

Have to save I've been blessed. 4 ships 2 radegast 2 timurs lash. My radegast came perfect for me didn't have to re roll it. Rerolled gheleon's demise three times and got scout version of fatebringer. The biggest investment was timurs lash with 20 motes of light and it turned into a beast.

Lag :/

I love the lag switch tactic: Have 1-2 guys in team dedicated to being the hot potato. They storm into control point and draw ALL fire. They don't die...until latency returns to normal...20-30 seconds is a LONG time of godmode! As our entire team is busy trying to kill one lagged out sob, his team mates come in and easily take us out. Were scratching our heads as to how and why he could survive 2 truths, nade spams, shotties even supers. It's really bs because what can I do about it? Sure I report that crap, but nobody cares. Best thing I can do is leave. I won't stay in a match where a team is cheating. And yes it's a team. They are all in a party together...they know exactly what they are doing. Another tactless tactic: throwing the switch jus as they start taking damage. Isn't is odd how they seem to be able to control when they take damage? It's really lame and anyone on a team where one is being utilized is absolutely worthless. Congrats. You cheated at a game. You winner you! /sarcasm off

1 ReplyEdited by Kamui: 2/22/2015 1:10:16 AMI would be lying if i said it were perfect, But to be honest the weasel kept on saying hi to me throughout Iron Banner, I could not respawn on multiple occassions(same happened to my teammates), and the lag was really awful at times. That is not to say that i didn't enjoy fighting in pvp, Because i enjoyed it and i did manage to win a few when it wasn't lagging. Wish it weren't a grind fest to rank up reputation with the Iron Banner, But much like the core game and any faction in general it is very grindy. I understand it is to keep players enticed, But to continuosly do the same mudane xp bounty, Kill people with machine gun, etc just gets annoying. There are other ways to entice playere, Not through the same mundane stuff daily. It would have also been better to have rep generalized across your account instead of character specifc, But that is just my opinion though and i feel i slightly detered from the topic, sorry.

1 ReplyOkay RNG should be taken off the f-ing table a guy just shows up after we fought tooth and nail gets a lash that is -blam!-ED!
-
3 RepliesNot much difference from regular crucible. Level 24's were able to take me out as quickly as lvl30. (People who have something rude to say, go ahead, say I'm a noob). But it's not supposed to be like that. What happened to my level advantage? And why is there only four maps in circulation?
-
Final round should be removed from snipers too in pvp , People firing off ammo to get one shot kills is no fun .
-
Thorn is not balanced hope the patch sorts it , the range for that pistol is too much . People are shooting that thing from sniper range , but other than that i think its getting there !!!!

3 RepliesGood post from "The Old Man". Not exactly feedback about the Iron Banner, but it still has some relevancy: I swear, the main reason for all of these nerfs and buffs on guns are Crucible related. If Crucible never existed in the first place, Mythoclast would still be good, auto rifles would be good, shotguns would be good because they would buff them since they aren't used too much in PvE, same with pulse rifles, fusion would still be good, and last and definitely not least hand cannons would still be good. Scout rifles are fine. The majority of the problems leads back to whiney people who can't handle guns that are killing them in Crucible, then get the gun! Seriously though, if Bungie can make it to where shotguns do double damage to PvE enemies, they should make Crucible nerfs separate from PvE. So -blam!- Crucible, you're the downfall of the majority of good guns!

6 RepliesHawkmoon, Thorn, Suros and Mythoclast are responsible for too many kills. Those weapons dominate. Has Bungie considered an exotic free Iron Banner? I reckon this would really sort the men from the boys. The lag has also been rather frustrating. On a positive note the rewards on offer from Saladin have been excellent. I would really like the ability to spend further motes to hold certain perks when you reforge a bit like a slot machine.

Edited by HUSH184: 2/22/2015 12:18:10 AMHadn't played in 3 or 4 weeks, went 20-11. I noticed no level advantages. Granted I am 31 but I seldom fully upgrade my gear. Have a 260? Attack machine gun that got me a 10 kill spree. Quite a joke really. Iron Banner to me is just disappointing for "level advantages." Its a cool concept and I want to like it but truly its a bad idea in how it was implemented since anyone that you can feel the advantage against won't step foot in Iron Banner. Given the way it works, can you blame them? Ideas- [b]The rewards kinda suck... Armor-wise.[/b] Raid gear has more stats, perks, and better perks. What if we could reroll for different stats and perks? They could include a chance for raid gear perks [i]reload special, heavy ammo capacity[/i] [b]lower levels are discouraged from entering[/b] I have a couple ideas for this [u]Iron Skin[/u] lower level players get a chance to gain a temporary perk to bring them up to par (or above) higher level players after dying in succession. Kills to/from could grants a small bonus to points. [i]PVE[/i] lower level players already take increased damage and deal decreased. But bullets still hurt regardless of how hardened you are, make them deal the same or more since they take more. Its like you don't want them to play at all currently. [b]Single Playlist[/b] Why is it limited to control? We who are worthy of holding the Iron Banner should be the best of the best (control is also unbalanced on several maps still, I don't mind it but others do). Throw in some other game modes for it. It could either rotate or be random. [i]We are the pinnacle of battle, ready for anything[/i] Edit: one thing I forgot [b]bounties[/b] They limit many people to use 2 weapons. I have never seen so many suros regimes until Iron Banner. Mix up the bounties a bit. In essence, I see no difference between Iron Banner and Control other than higher level rewards and a severe lack of anyone below 30.

Edited by SpacemanSpff434: 2/21/2015 11:36:05 PMExcellent break from raids. The iron banner is so much more fun than the crucible. It seems to bring out the best teams. I didn't see much of an advantage, but honestly I only played level 30+ folks, so I figured it was minimal.

1 ReplyHow about some stable servers or match making based on geography? Anything is better than the current system. How are we supposed to get to level 5, let alone levels 3 and 4 when we get booted every other match? Months it's been like this. And I don't have these issues with other games so it's not my settings. It's yours!

2 RepliesLast Iron Banner was my first, and level felt like a huge factor. I was 30 at the time and anything 28 or lower had a really tough time killing me. This time around, I am getting killed more frequently by lower levels. Having played regular Pvp a lot the last month, Iron Banner isn't feeling much different from normal Pvp this time around. So I would say I'm not really noticing impact of level or gear.
-
Recycled content is recycled, just a few extra fractions of a second between killing, I did not participate and I am glad about it.
