How was your first night in the Iron Banner?
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!

the armor sucks, why bother?

Deej it was terrible, such a bad experience. Quite possibly the worst banner yet I'm so disappointed. I went in at 307 light and was getting owned by 287's, I understand they could have been good players but they weren't doing anything I wasn't ? Most had the same weapon. There has also been a noticeable amount of players below 230 light that are still killing that shouldn't be even possible and then seemingly once those low light level players where put on my team they actually couldn't kill anyone that wasn't getting team shot. There was also a run on Saturday where the teams I was put with just couldn't get a foothold, I was on the loosing team for like 30+ straight matches and I was top half the board for almost all of them, team select shouldn't have put me through that. Also the gear drops never happened, I got two characters to rank5 and still played on them after but so far I've only had 1 drop and it was the Titan mark. Another disappointment was seeing the birth of history drop for other people, I have it and I ground like crazy to get it, why are people getting it in year 2 when there's a year 2 ship. The birth of history should be as a nostalgic item to year 1 players as the gear you guys made us leave behind, new players should get the new ship, it's not like dead orbit are going to give me there original ship now. Thank you thou for cleaning up some of the cheats and removing most of the bad connectors (mayb cast a bigger net next time thou lol) And thank you for casting your light on the hunter problem they literally owned night one. And finally if your wondering why I'm so sore about the birth of history?? I set myself ridiculous challenges and was trying to raise a fleet of them I had seven of them before the new ship system took me down to three, you should have seen my little heart sink........ New challenge thou, new ship lol sad face.

I know the drop rate is supposed to be increased. I saw two bits of iron banner gear drop in total.

Way too laggy, nothing is dropping for anyone in the armor or the weapons department, and I keep on getting put into games in progress and I'm always put on the losing team

1 Reply@deej, I highly suggest that iron banner should be clash only, because if you go in solo it is extremely hard to win control. Most of the people in control will not cap points and it defeats the whole purpose, it even comes down to that if no one runs to b at the start I will actually just leave the game because I know they aren't in it for the objective. So please no more iron banner control!!!! Also the loot system and level advantage are a joke!

Why does bungie lie so much?

They are trash nothing was really different and the drops were absolutely nothing except for 1 strange coin and a mote of light the whole week, I am currently rank 4 in IB

Edited by CannyJack: 10/19/2015 3:09:00 PMI took two characters to Rank 5 over the week. Level advantages did not seem particularly relevant once guardians were within 20 light of each other; as a 295-297 player it felt like I was making kills at the usual rate / speed, no unusual damage weirdness -- 300+ guardians did not seem notably tougher or more dangerous. In situations where I failed to kill someone I [i]thought[/i] I should have killed, it could easily have been accuracy, not level advantage, that made the difference. Map rotation could have used some variety. You've got what, 20-25 or more maps? It would be nice to see more than 7. Game rewards were exceptionally poor. My predominant reward throughout the Iron Banner was motes of light; I probably got 80 or 90 of them. Second would be Strange Coins, in the neighborhood of 30, and after that, armor and the occasional weapon that were almost all irrelevant, since they were a) rare, and b) 30+ points [i]below[/i] my light level. As for Iron Banner gear, the drop rate appeared to be ~1%, which which makes it pretty hard to get excited about. At least, pre-TTK, you could expect interesting [i]other[/i] gear. Not this time.

I didn't see too much difference in light lvls other than titans who spec'd their armors better than most. They were tough to take down. I played multiple game with ppl nightstalker glitching to win. The drop rates were horrendous. Last iron banner I received a couple primary, special, and heavy weapons and I played a lot for that reason. I got to lvl 5 this time around and felt like....all this for 4-5 titan marks, no weapon or armor. The matchmaking of course isn't any better. Unless u have a team of 4 or more its harder to win. I used to not worry about playing with randoms, trying to help get them some wins but lately it's been excruciating. I think this game's matchmaking needs to be skill based ranking too, to stay relevant, pvp wise. This way games will be close and I won't end up being wrecked or wrecking another team.

This is hilarious. They did not even bother to ask for this year. The post is from 2014. After all these tweaks, and they did not even care to ask....

Edited by m00ninite: 10/19/2015 1:50:41 PMOverall I give this IB a 6/10, and I played just about every IB in Y1. -Map rotation was very weak, and many old maps were completely missed. Got Shores of Time ZERO times the entire week. -I played the entirety as 295 Light and noticed no real disadvantage against players who were 305+ other than a few situations where they survived what should've perhaps been an OHK from my fusion or shotgun. -Primary source of loot was supposed to be drops, yet all I received was a warlock bond the entire time, and I reached Rank 5. -Bow glitch came at a terrible time, but I'm not going to fault Bungie on this one. -Match leaving needs a debuff timer penalty. Not sure why people leave anyway when they still get a medallion to cash in after their next win, but ALL Crucible needs this implemented. Leave a match? Cannot join a new one for 10 minutes.

Overall not bad at 293 I didn't fell under powered but the next Iron Banner may not be so. If the Hard Mode Raid is taking folks to 320 light then that's going to get ridiculous. I would like to say also I don't think the drop rates are correct, I did get boots to drop for all 3 characters but not a single weapon or class item, I spent a lot of time there, took all 3 to rank 5.

Been doing pretty good. I just started play destiny 2 this week. I really hated how pulse rifles are completely dominating the pvp field. Please look into it.

2 RepliesWorst iron banner I have ever done.

Considering my only pvp experience beforehand was reluctantly doing the daily for 15 marks, where I went in and didn't care much for the result. I actually had a lot of fun in the IB. I only did it on my Warlock because lazy and I was only really after the rank 5 shader and pulse rifle. I had the legs and pulse rifle drop for me as well as a faction ship which was a nice surprise. Ended up buying the shader and a bond as a souvenir. Balance wise, I think might light level carried me a bit which was nice (and I'm really bad so it helped a lot). I didn't feel over powered but I did do a lot better than I usually do in crucible. Despite my luck with drops I did notice a lack of items dropping for everyone in general. Could use some work. Also haven't seen anything apart from what is for sale dropping. That might keep more people interested for longer. All in all I'm happy and look forward to the next one, and my first attempt at trials

Once I reached Lvl 4, I finally got the sidearm and legs to drop. I bought the pulse rifle. I was placed in teams that were already losing, plus the poor connection others were having. Overall, this first IB was a miss. I do miss the old IB where items either than what he's selling would drop and glimmer was used to purchase gear.

3 RepliesEdited by Head hunter410: 10/19/2015 12:52:40 PMThere was no power level advantage! At all!!!! People with 260-290 light doing as much damage as me at 307!?!?!? Wtf is that?? Literally not power advantage. I swear it seems like there was no light level advantage, and on my lower light level guardian I was doing just as much damage at 295 as my 307 guardian. What's that!? Light level didn't matter! Than having to deal with people bow glitching over and over and over ever SINGLE MATCH. Annoying as hell. I hope you ban those pathetic POSs. I had to buy all my rewards as well, I only got one pistol to drop with crapy rolls. Never got a single piece of armor or pulse rifle. Then so much lag, and quitting and NO REWARDS. Can't wait till halo comes out!!

1 ReplyNot sure if this on target but the loot system is horrible. It's way, way worse than ever before. The old system was great. Drops were from other IBs and you could buy the current gear. The new one just doesn't drop anything. Example - I made it to rank 5 and didn't get a single IB related drop. Not one.

1 ReplyEdited by Xii Alpha iiXx: 10/19/2015 1:15:47 PMI did not enjoy this Iron Banner at all. Once I grinded out my 3 characters I didn't really want to keep playing. Normal I grind it out but I saw no reason to. The reward drop rate isn't high enough to keep playing. I also felt the power difference was meh. It was confusing on what was important. I would compare my setup with members of my fireteam. They would have a light level of 304 yet their primary would be a 288 and their crit damage would be higher then me when I was 304 with a 302 primary. Why the difference? Trying to figure out why crit damage was different per character was confusing. It would be all over the place. I would get 32 to 35 in the same range. That may not seem like a big swing but it is. 3 points of damage per pulse is a major difference with the new meta.

Edited by D4RKxH3LM3T: 10/19/2015 1:11:00 PMBow glitch aside, this IB was not quite as good as year one. For starters, the map rotation seemed like the same 3 or 4 maps. Second, there should be no reason 6 solo players get paired with a team of 6. Another issue was the minimal level advantage. I know you can't make people above 300 gods but a 270 shouldn't be on par with a 308. And last issue was the drop rate for IB items. On a good note though, I didn't see a single thorn!!!!!!!

Felt that the overall play experience was good. Sunbreakers---coming from someone who nearly went unbroken in a match playing one----need a nerf to the damage resistance. I tanked a FoH hit in one match. Loot system changes? Unqualified disaster, and needs to be scrapped. Took all the things we hated about the Year One loot system, and put them all into IB. It was like playing a giant slot machine...and they call slots "One Armed Bandits" for a reason. The old system worked much better, and did a better job of rewarding people in proportion to the effort they put into the playing. Not only were the drop rates for IB really bad...and totally unacceptable as a primary means of getting gear....the other things that were dropping were largely useless to end-game level players. Motes of Light? Strange Coins? Rare gear with 260 light level? I got better rewards playing 30 minutes of CoO than I did playing the whole week in IB (not counting the IB gear drops).
-
So granted I suck in crucible, I still should be able to kill someone 20 lvl below me (I'm at 305)... that didn't prove to be true

2 RepliesGot to rank 5 bought everything because I only had two bonds drop for me
-
Loot drop rates were/are terrible.
-
Where is the end game gear, when max light is going to be 320 and the max drop i got was 293. I got 5 character to level 5. and i got 2 legendary drop. still had to be the class items.
-
Won't do it again unless drop rates improve. I got to rank 5 an didn't get 1 drop had to buy everything. Very disappointed
