Title says it all.
Quick edit: 2000 upvotes. I'm stunned. I'm happy to get this out there, because it's clear people want it. To address a few things that have been stated.
I love playing control right now. A couple maps needs their CPs moved, but I'm having fun with IB.
Also, I don't think we should just get all the gear in a day. I think that if RNG is involved it should be at match end and that leveling the vendor gets us ever closer to maybe a couple guaranteed gear pieces like D1. That way we have something to work towards.
I hope this gets addressed soon. We can get non IB gear anywhere else, we don't want it when we grind for hours and play fiercely to win matches.
Late night edit: look guys I know it's easy to get mad at the Devs and namecall, but I'm reading through some of this and it isn't how we get noticed by the right people. We need to keep up voting this and keep it constructive if we want to see this changed.
Final Edit: 4600 upvotes. This is absolutely insane. In the spirit of full transparency after 20 hours and 17 packages I completed my Titan armor set. I am only sharing this because I have it equipped and figured I'd look like a hypocrite. I still stand by the original thought of this post. 20 hours is a long time in comparison to faction rallies, which was an event that I felt like the token system worked well for. I'd love to see some changes in the future to IB rewards and look forward to hearing what Bungie comes up with. Best of luck in the crucible guardians.

Opened three IB packages last night (didn't have time to play more), got nothing but regular gear that I get from any other vendor packages. So, Bungie; why the actual -blam!- should I keep grinding if you set the drop-weight for IB gear so low? And I've read quite a few posts from other players who have opened far more packages than myself, who have similar experiences. You set the drop rate so low for IB gear, that it actually discourages grinding for that Loot, because "what's the point" if IB gear doesn't drop but very rarely?
-
I agree. Its no fun to get random vanguard loot from the IB packages.

5 RisposteWhat is weird... Is that Bungie appears to be making decisions which will make players angry..........Deliberately....... I mean. Some of these decisions are frankly as openly aggressive as teabagging.

1 RispondiPerfect Post. Thank you! Iron Banner should only reward with quaranteed Iron Banner related stuff. No matter if its random after each round or with tokens or static buy like in D1. But we play Iron Banner, to get Iron Banner rewards. Best think to do: Keep your tokens in your inventory and wait until it's fixed.

20 hours to get an armor set for one character in three days of playtime. 6.7 hours of D2 each of the three days, and there is a good chance the OP was REALLY lucky. And yet people claim and complain the grind is gone, no more endgame, etc? D2 actually does a very good job to a plethora of play preferences. You want to grindfor hours and hours and play the RNG slots? Faction and IB gear is there for you. You want to progress in a more predictable, chilled fashion? The weekly Powerful loot drops.

Couldn’t agree more. D2 seems to have been designed from the ground up to not reward extended play in my opinion: 1) historically empty loot chests if you open too many. 2) repeat, after repeat, after repeat of both exotics and legendary gear and weapons to discourage grinding. 3) A raid that predominantly hands out (yet more) tokens rather than gear as rewards for completing each section. 4) strike playlist and nightfall activities that used to be the heart and soul of D1 are now focussed on the acquisition of? Yes, you guessed it! Yet more tokens!!! I could go on but I think the point has been made. Bungie have seen us play D1 obsessively and probably feel that this kind of behaviour should be discouraged on future titles? I can only think of one other reason they would choose to dial back some of the great systems D1 put in place towards the end - and that’s longevity. The loot/end game is now imbalanced, to the point that it has become offputting to perform more than the regular activities/ weekly milestones once a week. On my first play of iron banner last night I managed 3 reward packages in the short time had to play - granting me 2x fusions and a sidearm (which I do find fun) 2 repeats in 3 packages for a limited time event is rather annoying and takes away my enthusiasm to play if I’m honest. Is this system designed to inject more players into the crucible game mode solely to increase participation? Gaining 20 tokens to gain rank up packages that grant yet more repeats is in my humble opinion a lazy way of extending longevity- it will only succeed in putting off the vast majority of players. Destiny 2 is a great game, but not a great end game- Bungie please pay attention and address some of these concerns, many thanks. Also while your at please for the love of god fix the PS4 pro CE error codes when trying to load into the tower! This happened to me on my first campaign play through completely ruining immersion (horrible being able to hear that great score & the sounds of the tower but only see a black screen till the game inevitably crashed to a blue error screen 😭) Thanks for reading (I hope).

1 RispondiSo close to 5000. So not mentioned at all in the TWaB. [i]but we're listening to the community[/i]

We will be rewarded after 4 DLC

Fck getting the same roll and the same gun over and over. Iron banner was wicked fun when you could reforge the guns. Even working till rank five - it was POSSIBLE to see the reward. A reward earned and not given to some and (usually a very select lucky few) and unobtainable by others. Tired of getting the side arm for the past four items. Does armour even drop or how do you get it?
-
Between the useless second drop, and the random crap we’re stuck with, I’ve grabbed one piece of armor in six rank-ups. Double fusion rifles. Double SMGs. And the auto rifle. I won’t use any of those weapons. Would sure like to have a set of Iron Banner armor though. Can we just go back to buying it?
-
2 RisposteThis! Especially since we only get 10 chances to acquire the gear/guns that we are rolling for. Either get rid of non-IB gear and keep the token reward as is, or double the token reward gain and keep non-IB gear...

1 RispondiThis game is broken. Opened 22 Iron Banner pack, 17 grenade launcher...I'm done with this shitty game, the pvp is so fckn boring to play solo, and the saddest part is that the shitty LastHope and other 3/4 weapon are annoying if u play the pvp after many hours. GG, hope u spend money in medicenes.

9 RisposteThis is the main issue with static rolls, bungie don't want you to get everything the first IB else you probably won't play it again but then gear has been watered down to a point where duplicates have zero use bar shards, they need more guns, more models and more variety.
-
25, packages and nooo Armor. [spoiler]aint nobody got time for that[/spoiler]
-
When I saw the Iron Banner armour before the event I was adamant I had to have the full set for my hunter. Love the look of it. So far I have opened 19 packages on my Hunter and have acquired - Cloak Cloak Cloak Helmet 14x Terrible Iron Banner Weapons The Iron Banner SMG [spoiler]I listed the SMG separately because it's actually amazing.[/spoiler]
-
I totally support this. I play Iron Banner for Iron Banner gear. Get the other trash out. If you're trying to give me shards and glimmer, just give me that separately.

4 Risposte4000 up votes has got to make it into the TWaB. According to deej, that's 4000 friendships!!!!

3 RisposteAt least give us a chance to earn Iron banner gear at the end of matches (if this is a thing, let me know, been playing with 8 people and no one has gotten a thing, so I assume you just can't)
