...or should have an incremental chance of rewards.
During previous Iron Banners my drops have been quite random, both frustratingly but also (in some cases) quite satisfying to have something other than the generic fall.
During the current IB between Level 1 and Level 5 I received (approximately, for my Titan):
6 x boots (319 to 327)
6 x marks (323 to 330)
6 x Hatchets (319 to 327)
Since reaching level 5, my drop rate appears to have decreased - although now I appear to be periodically dropping Iron Shells (at least 4 so far) - and still only getting the same 3 main items otherwise.
While I understand the logic of the change to remove normal legendaries from the list, it would have been a better action to include some of the new Year 2 Vanguard versions of guns (such as the Shadow Price).
As it currently stands everyone playing the Iron Banner is being saturated with such a narrow band of items (most of which are just fodder for levelling up other gear) that once you have reached level 5 this time around there wont be much need to play Iron Banner at any subsequent interval other than to grab whatever unique weapon is on offer (a weapon that, I might add, you could just buy) until everyone has each IB item and incrementally levelled their gear to the maximum.
tldr; IB should drop more than just what is for sale in order to ensure that there is variety and excitement and a reason to play past Rank 5.
Edit: Shoeless spotted I put the wrong light level down.

Agreed! At least open up other IB specific items like chest or helm. Usually you get the previous month's purchasable items as potential drops, but they screwed up this time, and all I see are pants and class items, the hatchet and rocket launcher. I wonder if the thoughtcrime is even on the loot table this week. I feel like I've wasted my time hoping for other slot drops.

Hmm... I think the IB loot should stay exclusive to IB because it gives you more chances for the best roll. However, the weapon and armor drop rates shouldn't be so different. And I disagree with their decision to have current vendor loot in the rank 5 package.

Although I've been grinding vanguard to get the shadow price I don't think it should drop in the crucible only because it is a vanguard weapon. I would be down for the year one rehashed crucible weapons to drop or maybe adept ib weapons and armour where you have the option to reroll them if you wanted and would only drop once you hit rank 5.

17 commentairesIf you want vanguard weapons do vanguard activities and rank up. If you want crucible weapons do crucible activities and rank up. Holy hell im a genius.

4 commentairesYou do get those drops from crucible rank ups. Use a crucible booster and wear your IB class items to ensure max point gain. Not the answer you were looking for but it works. Also why not make the max IB ranks a little higher maybe 10? Then at odd levels you have a chance at crucible weapons, van guard weapons should be separate. (They are not PVP drops anyway) also make those ranks 10-25% more points per a rank in order to make those drops more coveted.

I agree.
