I was completely fooled by this so called "seasonal reward". You'd think that something which requires days of grinding to achieve would net us something good. Maybe an exotic engram...or a powerful gear reward of some sort?
Nope...you basically get crap low level duplicates and a crap emblem for all the time you've wasted. It is the biggest letdown for the time you've wasted grinding in IB. I am absolutely floored that I wasted so much time in iron banner for practically nothing!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

6 通の返信ENTITLED ALERT!😂 But seriously, did you really think they'd give a gun for completing the season milestone? That's hilarious. They give you a powerful gun, you'd complain that it was too powerful. They give a gun that's not stronger than others, you'd complain that it was too weak. They give you armor, you'd complain that it looks like shit or it doesn't work with your spec. They give you an exotic engram, you'd complain that the big IB reward was a RNG roll for a shit exotic. Tl;dr you have no legitimate complaint; you're just being toxic.

[quote]Are you done grinding planetary tokens for that armor you wanted? Are you done grinding the gunsmith for that rare gun you want? Are you done grinding the easy new raid for that armor you want because the raid guns suck? Are you done grinding the crucible for your Better Devils? Are you done grinding Trials of the Nine tokens because you can't go flawless due to sweaties? [b]Well have I got the answer for you![/b] [b]Behold, IRON BANNER![/b] ([i]Now with 80% less iron[/i]) Grind endlessly for [u][b]new[/b] Samurai themed armor[/u] and guns with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], but with the added urgency of a limited event making you grind harder than ever before! Enjoy the absolute worse this game has to offer, with unbalanced teams, bad spawns, and meta players using the most broken weapons. Fight an endless war of attrition against camping Warlocks with infinite health, or get killed in literally under a second by the Last Word 2.0. Enjoy the endless droning of sirens as the clan you solo-qued up against captures the entire map. Lose to teams with FIVE TIMES YOUR SCORE who have been spawn killing you for the past five minutes. Get killed by a rocket launcher before you're finished the spawn-in animation, or get cross-mapped by fusion rifles. Try to capture a zone while getting hit from 8 pulse grenades, which aren't at all over powered when compared to the other grenades. Discover how useless anything that isn't the meta really is, as you're killed by the Antiope, Uriel's Gift, MIDA, and Last Hope consistently. Learn how powerful Fist of Havok is as the only roaming panic-button super. Ask yourself why Bungie left the Hunter "Wombo-Combo" in the game, only to never use the wombo-combo again, as your super, Shadow Shot, is literally just Nova Bomb, but completely useless. Wonder what the point of player choice is, as you discover the "One Path to Victory" Shaxx is always talking about is simply playing the meta, with any semblance of skill optional. [b] But how is this better than the Iron Banners of old? [/b] The only difference between Iron Banner and regular Crucible? Gone. That pesky lore of the Iron Lords nobody cared about? Gone. The uniquely modeled weapons of previous Iron Banners? Gone. The ability to buy items as you progress? Gone. The chance to get Iron Banner items as an post-game reward? Gone. The ability to re-roll weapons? (bet some of you forgot about that) Gone. The rewarding experience of obtaining high level loot and powerful items? Gone. [b] All those toxic downsides of Iron Banner are now more dead than the Iron Lords. [/b] Instead, grind away for meaningless tokens for the RNG slot machine that gives no guarantee your time will be rewarded. Win low level gear and weapons with an [u]exclusive Iron Banner sticker[/u], with a Iron Lord's chance in a SIVA replication chamber of getting the [u]new Iron Banner exclusive [b]Samurai[/b] armor[/u], which doesn't match the theme of Iron Banner one bit. Listen to Overwatch easter eggs that remind you of better games you could be playing, and end your week feeling hollow for spending all your time grinding for the armor you wanted, only to get an endless supply of Iron Banner themed garbage sidearms. [b] Let us take a moment to thank Bungie for this event. [/b] This event that showcases every single flaw of Destiny 2. This event that showcases the faults of the Crucible. This event that showcases how unrewarding the game is. This event that has managed to royally piss me off. [b] Thank you Bungie. [/b] P.S. I'm never playing Iron Banner again...until some stupid new gear comes out and I force myself to endure more of this cancer and rip my hair out.[/quote]

4 通の返信The gear looks great and the weapons are good, yeah this iron banner is just awful..... Just uninstall the game and go away.

Honestly bungie should do something about rng they should notnallow us to get duplicates until we have the whole set. And after grinding iron banner getba powerful engram so we can level up not to look cute with our baby goat horns.

I played for 13 hours straight on Wednesday (had a buddy over and he and my brother were playing on Xbox, I'm ps4) and because I don't have anyone to play with I lost most games. Then once I hit rank 10 iron banner I was pissed to find out all I got was an emblem. In those 10 packages I had also only gotten 1 piece of IB armour, a Titan mark. I'm now up to 22 packages and have gotten 4 Titan marks. All I need for my armour set now are the boots and it's not looking like it's happening this time around. This whole IB event has made me incredibly sick of crucible. Grind out for hours on end with shit matchmaking only to get shit rewards and most of the time all I got was duplicates of the same handcannon and some shaders.

It's only a grind if you're losing... you need less than 40 wins for the season reward provided of course you're doing the challenges.. So yeah.. If you're losing a lot you honestly don't deserve anything special and if you're winning then it's a nice little addition to the reward pool that didn't take too much time.. This comes with love from a very blunt guardian, have a nice day.

13 通の返信Dear lord, i went through the horror last night when i opened my 10th package. Just stared blankly and confused at the screen for 5 minutes when i saw my "reward". I actually went and checked the postmaster and revisited Saladin in disbelief and to my absolute hilarity that was all i got.

4 通の返信I'm just curious how people DIDN'T know that. I mean, it shows you the emblem when you look at the milestone page.

5 通の返信are we pretending that completion of MoT gave access to a tshirt for purchase? lmfao. MoT itself had pages of achievements that rewarded a -blam!-ing emblem, but now you're surprised and outraged? wasn't having the flawless ToO emblem like having the Golden Ticket into Trials? wernt LFG groups requesting players show a raid challenge emblem to join? pretty sure emblem are loved and needed around here more than a potential 3 shards.

Drive By Bagginsにより編集済み: 10/15/2017 4:58:09 PMUNLESS YOU ARE AN EMBLEM COLLECTOR!! OR A COMPLETIONIST!! OR YOU'RE JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND YOU DON'T GIVE A SHIT! Edit** Days of grinding. Lolz. It's a weekly reward. Let me guess, you tried to get it as soon as possible? I can grind 10 packages in a day too, but I'm not a masochist.
