I'm going to state why I think Iron Banner is a complete waste of time. I'm very angry at this moment, but I am going to try to display my thoughts like a sane person, even though I shouted very loudly after what had happened happened.
I have been playing this laggy, Mida infested game mode since Tuesday. Upon reaching rank 5, all I get is a 310 ghost, and 315 gauntlets. I have a 317 ghost. I have 313 gauntlets. Is this all I deserve from going through absolute hell all week?
Iron banner is no breeze when playing solo. Having to play against teams of 6, laggers, quickscopers, conspiracy theory d blink shotgunners, and Mida multi-toolers, this is all that I get? I understand very well that this is an RNG game. But this is unacceptable.
To anyone who has reached rank 5, we all deserve something good, guaranteed. Everyone should get one weapon, and one piece of armor that is HIGHER than what they have on, (by a noticeable amount, 4-5 light levels higher then what you have equipped) or AT LEAST equal with good roles.
The raid has a challenge mode that guarantees at least one 320 piece of gear.
Why doesn't the crucible have this? The crucible is arguably much harder than a raid is. Raids are the same every single time. Every enemy is programmed to do the exact same things. You are fighting a computer with designed intelligence. And although the raid may lag sometimes, the crucible is just as laggy. In PvP, you're fighting real people, with real intelligence. Why do we get rewarded [i]less[/i] for considerably [i]harder[/i] challenges? Iron banner takes days of grinding for a chance at a 320 piece of gear. Challenge mode takes a few dozen minutes for a GUARANTEED piece of 320 gear.
Additionally, many of my friends have moved on to the Xbox One, and I cannot do the raid anymore. LFG is such a pain that I refuse to use it. I'm not playing with people from a different country just to lag and get kicked, or have some stuck up tight-ass boot me because he wants to control everything I do.
I can't afford a new Xbox One. Not everyone can just go out and buy a new console because other people are.

In this video MoreConsole talks about loot, and addresses some of my ideas. Is Iron Banner Worth It?
Edit 3: I don't have a trials/raid team. Please stop telling me to play those. If I could, I would.
Edit 4: Over 1000+ replies. Nice. Please keep commenting and sharing your iron banner experiences, especially if you want Bungie to improve the quality of their loot system.
[spoiler]And to those of you who comment negatively, just know you're only bumping my post and that I appreciate it! (:[/spoiler]
Edit 5: I've heard a few suggestions (excuse me, I don't remember the fellow guardians who came up with these ideas, but you'll know who you are) from a few of you, and to be frank these are some good ideas. One guardian said getting a guaranteed 320 across all three characters (only getting one 320 even if you've played on all three characters) should be implemented. I believe that end of match rewards should only be given to those who are on the top 3 of their team's leaderboards. Those who give the most effort get the most in return. This would encourage guardians to play the objective more often, and of course just play better overall, (capture the zones!) not just sit afk in a match to get to rank 5. Another guardian suggested implementing a "challenge" mode into the crucible as a weekly bounty/quest, similar to the raid's challenge mode. This should obviously not be a task that just anyone can complete, but at the same time it shouldn't be harder than the raid's challenge mode.
Any more ideas? These would all be excellent improvements to iron banner in my opinion, what are your thoughts?
Edit 6: A guardian just posted this link showing his experience fighting another laggy guardian. These kinds of things happened a LOT during Iron Banner.

5 답변Iron banner is not hard, dude. I agree that we should get good rewards for the grind, but don't say it's a challenge. It is not. Anybody can get to rank 5.

3 답변작성자: joey big guns 1/4/2016 7:39:46 PMDidn't read you edits because you sound like a whiny bitch. You're crying about drops. What's new. Everyone cries about drops. You're crying about being solo in IB?? What's new? You're not the only player who's been running IB solo, I've been doing it since the game began. I made it though, soldier on princess, it's just a video game. Being "guaranteed" 320 stuff from playing crucible is dumb. You sound like those whiny chumps who "deserve" 320 gear for running a 280-290 nightfall strike as a 315+.

2 답변I feel like Bungie is going to say that last Iron Banner was "broken" with its drop rate and this is how its supposed to be like. But still, I got myself a 310 helmet, a decent Auto Rifle drop and the Shotgun. So I'm pleased.

2 답변I got to rank 5 yesterday and all iron banner all my drops were 304 or below, what a waste of time. I played at least 7 games at rank 5 and nothing good dropped. Wtf

1 답변I see no point in ur argument. It's rng. I soloed the whole thing as well. Carrying most of every match I had with every random team I'm on. Bungie is literally throwing 320 gear at people now from the raid challenges. I do have to admit the drops have been weaker from iron banner this time around but then again it's all random. I can't expect great things, it's the risk you take players by this repetitive game.

19 답변So, you're frustrated because people playing with teams of 6 prevail over your solo attempt, and that they use weapons or abilities available to all. Is that a good summary?

Much of the anger and disappointment could be resolved if the top 3 players always received rewards for IB and Crucible. Why not? It would motivate people to play to win and not camp all the time and cut the frustration in half. Plus if you're cheating you should get permanently banned, period. the end! In addition Bungie and take notes, players should be rewarded based on individual light levels... Meaning a 300 player should get 305-320 gear and a 280 player should get 285-300+ gear or something along those lines. Getting gear less than your present light level renders it instantly useless and shredded for materials. And players are tired of the grind for nothing rewarding. You have a loot based game that's great and fun to play. Fix the rewards and I'd imagine more players would return. Hitting 3 and 5 last IB and getting packages from Saladin was great as rank 5 this time, although this time it was useless due to the light levels. Plus if any Player is going to raid and spend their time in your game, EVERY player deserves a reward in a raid. Why spend hours and get 2 shards? No thanks. No after working 60hrs a week. Same for bounties. Make bounties actually worth doing. 2500xp isn't motivation.

It was ok to say the least for me. Warlock - 308 handcannon (trash) Titan - 317 machine gun with meh perks. still trash. hunter - 310 fusion (complete trash) Misc. trash - couple of 290's AR's, 311 ghost, one lousy shotgun. Overall the drops sucks @$$ but gaming experience was fun. A lot of sweaty battle royal matches. Some of them were actually really good rounds all the way to the end.

작성자: cuzzybubba1 1/4/2016 6:02:49 PMI tell you one thing, Iron Banner was so -blam!-ing sweaty this time around it was battle royals every match and while that's cool it's just a drastic change from past events. I got lucky and had the exclusive Hunter Helmet, Boots and Auto drop by level 3 and didn't touch it again.

the Taken King released almost four months ago. I still do not have a character at max light level. RNG is absolutely failing to adequately reward us for completing end game activities. I play about three hours a day. I usually am only playing end game activities. There is no way that I should only be getting moldering shards for two of the four levels of hard raid when I don't do normal mode anymore. Supposed to be double drops, yet I am only getting two moldering shards. Also if you add in the fact that I have 80 moldering shards on my characters (20 are supposed to increase chance of drops) it is even more frustrating to only get two moldering shards. I have seen a dramatic decrease in the amount of friends that still play destiny on a consistent basis. Most are leaving because they are frustrated with the rng of this game. Bungie's solution seems to be to add more ghost drops at a slightly higher level that normal. The only thing I got with a half way decent light level from three characters to rank five in Iron Banner was a ghost. Adding challenge mode with guaranteed 320 gear was nice but if the rng was as it should be it wouldn't have been an issue.

Drops were not as plentiful, nor as good as last Iron Banner. Can't they also add the regular crucible legendaries into the RNG drops, and increase the chance of getting a IB legendary reward? Also, getting Ghosts and Class items lower than your current light level, is just, well...shitty. Bungie, you guys gotta fix this!
-
Completely agree. But since when has Bungie shown they care about posts like these? Only evidence I've seen is when they nerf something. So maybe the outcome is they nerf mida? As usual they'll miss the point yet again. They whole system is broke. I've cleared the raid every week. Not allowed to have a 320 ghost. Last week got 8 ghosts across three characters. Rngesus loves me right? Nope. Highest was 312. That really makes a lot of sense seeing as I'm running a 319 ghost. They can shove all these ghosts up Oryx's Shade and use the mida to pack them in right....
