Ok so after playing the iron banner for 8 hours in a row all ive seen is level 29 or 30,sometimes the odd 28 or 27,nothing lower then that, is it really that unappealing to lower levels or am i just unlucky, if it is unappealing to low levels then bungie, you need to change that.
Ive had some thought on this and here are some of my ideas.
1: if you are under level 26 in the iron banner you have 1.5x more chance to get legendary/exotic drops
2: if you are under level 26 you gain more xp for not just the iron banner but for all your weapons and armour
3: if your under level 26 and you kill a level 29/30 you get a guaranteed rare, maybe legendary engram.
Fyi i say level 26 because there is damage normalisation of players within 3 levels so a level 27 can take out a level 30 fairly however a level 26 will struggle.
If anyone else has any ideas on how to make it more appealing to low levels please comment
Edit 1: im not saying make it easier for low levels to kill high levels, im saying reward them more for killing them, as deej said in the update notes, a level 20 taking on a level 30 will be like taking on a boss, shouldn't that level 20 be rewarded for killing him?
Also as for the increased drop rate and the additional xp, these can be very low, and the drop rate is meant to link to idea 3, that when an under level 26 beats a level 30 they get a guaranteed engram, which has a higher then usual chance of being legendary/exotic

1 commentaireNo no, you're missing the point. The entire point of Iron Banner is noob stomping. It's not meant to present a chance for them to get gear/reward/challenge. It's there for the 29/30 crowed, to boost their egos and make them feel powerful (sort of like why some people beat men/women/children who are weaker than they are, for the power trip). It is ego stroking, an answer to "wah I don't feel powerful because on a level playing field my max gear doesn't make up for my mediocre skill" The gear available is simply a carrot to get lower levels into it, without that possibility how many people would volunteer to get curb stomped for your pleasure?

Ever think that maybe matchmaking is pulling some strings?

I don't think the reward should be anything more than a little extra exp if anything at all. I honestly was still doing pretty good with my 26 titan alt. lol went 35 and single digits last night. Ib is the one pvp mode where level makes a little difference, and it's more fun for it!
-
Yes definitely. So I could pop on my not fully upgraded gear and a couple of blues to make me the perfect level and use all my fully upgraded weapons. Good thinking.......
-
Well, the iron banner seems to be geared towards geared guardians who want to test their gear and weapons against other guardians. That's it's purpose, full on war lol. It's like the PvP version of the raid kind of. You wouldn't go into VoG as a 24 or 23. It's kind of the same for IB.
-
Iron banner has end game rewards it's not designed for new players and it shouldn't be
-
Weren't you temp banned and can't play the IB? Haha and I think that's the point of iron banner is to bring what you got and the best will win. LOL 26's and 27's are choosing not to play because the best gear and weapons win.
-
Is there anyone left in this game who isn't at least 28?
-
Are... Are You retarded?
-
Sorry its the way its suppose to be level up or go play crucible its a simple concept. It wasent made for anyone below 28 cold hard truth.
-
Iron banner is perfect don't change it. If you are lower level play regular crucible and pve until you level your character up for the next iron banner. Don't try and ruin it for the prime l people that have grinded to earn their advantage
-
No. IB is for PvP without gear leveling among all combatants.
-
This thread should be called: What's your price for receiving butseks in the iron banner?

3 commentairesI played against levels 21, 24, and 25. They seemed to know what was up as they tailed behind their higher level allies playing support. Caught one lvl 24 out running around solo and it was crazy how fast they died every time we faced off.
-
I agree that there needs to be more motivation for lower levels to play IB, but rewarding them with better gear isn't the answer. I think it simply needs to reward lower level players with higher [b]Reputation[/b] gains. This would encourage players to bring their lower level characters into IB so they could achieve the rank necessary to purchase the IB gear and be closer to reaching level 30.

2 commentairesModifié par PlayerGuts : 11/20/2014 6:07:47 PMI 100% disagree. What you wish is catered towards lower light level players. If you don't like the way Iron Banner works even though IT IS intended to be that way, then play regular crucible instead because levels don't matter there. Not everyone is level 26 or lower anymore. But I can guarantee you there's more light level 27+ than there are light level 26-. And in all honesty, you can obtain light level 29 without having to do things, such as the raid, at all. Why is it so hard for people to reach light level 29? The answer is that it isn't. No matter what reasons you give I assure you that YOU CAN 100% obtain light level 29. You just have to do the grind like the rest of us. No special treatment there. Please don't ruin it for the rest of us who has put in the time to get where we are. Thank you. One more thing: There is NO luck involved in achieving light level 29. You can do it with NO luck at all--there SHOULD NOT be luck involved--and obtain light level 29.

Modifié par OMG itz BUDDY : 11/20/2014 6:17:04 PMlol . If it was under 26 I would just equip some low lvl ur armor and use my vex to get a poopton of engrams lol. ( I saw a Lv 23, he killed me when I had a quarter health left with a fusion rifle, but I revived my self to burn his little ass)
-
Level 26 here.
-
If you are too low to IB, just do regular crucible. IB was always meant to be an event for the highest level people
-
-
Players were disappointed in the first IB due to the lack of recognition of a higher level player, that lv 29-30 was promised to mean something in the tournament. Bungie listened to the first round of complaints and responded in kind. Rewarding lower rank players completely negates the foundation of the iron banner, it's like saying "bring your best gear, unless you want cool stuff.. If so , bring just alright gear".
-
Dumbest ideas I have ever heard. If level 26 got a greater chance for an exotic and legendary and a rare just for killing 29/30s everyone would be using level 26 gear. And it would just trash the idea that power matters
-
1 commentaireYou would create a broken system by doing this, guys would be removing their equipment to get better drops. The whole idea of IB is that your level, armor, and weapons actually count ... if it's unappealing then play the regular crucible.
-
If any of those happened I would put my alternate armor on and play just to play not even can't about winning
-
it's the whole point , 25 and under get melted it's to funny watching them trying to kill me. I took out 3 of them all one after the other.
