Iron banner quest is ridiculous

Every time I come back to this game and start enjoying it bungie yet again make a needless change that ruins it for me. Why cant we just play iron banner and get drops etc. The bounties...sure. but now this tedious quest for certain weapon kills and ability kills etc..... why does EVERYTHING have to be such a slog now. I've never missed an iron banner and always looked forward to it but I have no desire to have to grind out this stupid quest. Edit. I finished it lll and grinded for shaders and sparrow cause I used all the tokens I earned for the engrams first lol. Btw Cerberus is lowkey meta. Edit2. Yeah. With armor 2.0 coming, not even worth grinding anymore anyways.

  • Only one thing is worse than the grind - people on your team grinding the quest, running with stupid load and doing stupid things. Even justifying not capturing zones as "I need to grind grenade kills, go away!".

  • They know exactly what they are doing... milking us for time. I am with you, was genuinely enjoying this game again until I ran into these bounties/quest steps. How F’n ridiculous and such a Bungie thing to do, they just cannot get out of their own way. Also, this grind for old armor? I was all for bringing back cool sets of armor because current ones just suck, but why the grind for it? If I’m doing this kind of BS it should be for NEW, good looking, armor. They just keep sabotaging themselves, for example, The Menagerie... what an awesome mode, new, fresh and MATCHMAKING! What a leap forward! Now I see where future modes will take away MATCHMAKING! Why? Why screw this good thing up? Folks say, “well, it will be too difficult for a group of randoms”... ok, why the need to ruin it once again with mind numbing mechanics? If I wanted to play Myst I would pull out my old IBM and get into it... but this is not that. Always have to over-complicate things. Well, back to yard sale status for this game. When it starts making sense... Bungie happens.

    • This quest is rediculous, and expects far too much investment for old armor that we wouldn't even want if it weren't for the added perk rolls. It's clearly a massive waste of time. Nevermind doing it three times, it's unacceptable.

        Yeh I agree, the Armor is not worth that grind, especially if you want it for all chars during the season, I don't know what goes on in the head of the person who thinks this up, no-one in their right mind is going to grind only IB for a full week for recycled Armor when there is other activities that are more rewarding.

          And the f[i]u[/i]cking quest isn't even account based! They expect you to do it on all 3 characters before the season ends, with each event only lasting a week. And you can't even get the goddamn armor through rank up packages until you unlock them in the quest. Who approved this bullshit? What kind of drugs are they on?

          • I managed to get the melee and super kills requirements meant, but only 49% of the grenade kills. That's only because I used a Titan with Skullfort, and it took 3-4 hours. There's no way in heck I'll be able to get this done for all three characters for this IB. No way.

          • I used to be able to play my 2-3 hours and had the armor set. Now it is like 2-3 days. I cannot play as much as I used to. Due to the fact I have long job hours, a family a kid. So if the new "MMO strategy" is please play 12-14 hours in one week to get the items. Thank you! But no thank you!

              • 83 matches to complete this quest line from a average player, it's a grind for sure. Keep pulling the trigger.

                I play only like an hour-2 daily, and I’ve decided that is is virtually impossible to complete this quest

                • The easiest part of the quest was "as a team, get 5,000 kills with lord of wolves"

                • BLNC1989 You make some valid points and i agree that eververse must be removed from this game but, Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold

                      Want to know what's more ridiculous? - Whining that you can't do a quest that was meant to be done over the course of the season instead of just a couple hours/days - That the reward for that much work isn't worth it - That you have to use weapons/abilities you don't like In the case of other non related pinnacle and exotic quests: - That you have to do activities that you don't like - That you need to do activities with friends/clan members - That some quests subtract points on death - That you need a high rank in crucible - ect Life isn't fair and neither are every single video game. Especially MMO's or games like Destiny share MMO'esque qualities. You want the most powerful and/or coolest looking stuff? Then you need to step outside your comfort zone. It doesn't matter similar games you play let you do what you want for the rewards you want. That kinda thing is NOT a gold industry standard.

                        Because the taints who made it want you stuck in their swamp to inflate the number of hours played.
