Bungie totally ruins IB again - thanks for “listening”
Yep, it’s IB time and Bungle drops a hot stinky one with the ever changing and worthless armor 2 quest for the season - the magical “get kills with weapons that you would never use” grind.
Oh, it’s all about “learning” and “growing” having to run up and die to get shotgun or scout rifle kills. But the BEST part boys and girls is that while your zone control and total kills are cumulative - you can’t “build up” credits for the weapon kills until the quest slides down the sewer.
So you are treated to having to the 10 rocket launcher kills after you have probably played 10-12 matches. How fun!
Yes Bungle, just spit in our face please after we complained about the ability kill bounty - now you put the worst garbage yet - you are dependent on special ( shotgun kills) and heavy ( rocket launcher) which we all know spawns like popcorn in matches ( Sarc is ON)
At least the grenade launcher kills ( the heavy of last season) could be done with alternate ammo types - but rockets? Fight for the spawn!
Yep - it’s not IB. It’s insane risks to get the kills time when you are not playing -you are chasing stupid quest requirements
If you had halved the weapon bounty totals or let them build as we played - I would have no issue - but this is middle finger to the players
So a hearty middle finger to the A-Team that dreamed this up. ( the team with the hole too - not the one that is good)

1 ReplyDMG on Twitter counting off his rocket kills on his third character saying it’s easy. Guess when you can ignore your kid, have a job such as a community manager, you can do that? That’s Bungie listening to you.

The worst part about this quest is the effect it has on matches. Good luck winning with a team of randoms because nobody plays the objective because everyone is trying to get that pointless quest out of the way so they can actually get rewards for playing the matches. It's such a stupid quest that shouldn't be here. "But u get pinnacle geer!!!!" Thanks bungie for making the entire appeal of IB disappear
-
let's stop whining about challenges that we're supposed to do and maybe fix the triumphs and challenges that won't count progress. All three characters were finished before Friday. You all sound like stressed but hurt people as I do during the shotgun phase of this challenge. Use your head be patient play smart you will complete it all
-
Replying to my own post - got all 3 characters done and hated every rocket kill game I played ( since playing was a misnomer - waiting for the next heavy spawn was more accurate ). Using my super to protect the heavy spawn? Really? If only after you finished the armor quest it dropped IB armor in games instead of trash stuff, it might have been worth it. But no foresight from Bungie

2 RepliesI wonder if it would have been so difficult to let you redeem your tokens before finishing the quest. Bungie isn't very smart.

1 ReplyListen I’m going to be the first to tell you that you need to use different weapon in crucible anyways instead of whatever your using constantly. Yea it’s a pain and it’s boring sometimes to do the quests like these but just shut up sit down and do them if not then don’t but don’t jump on here complaining about it. It won’t be changed anytime soon so get over it.

I finished my 4 rotating playlist in about 5 min cause I have loaded into not 1 not 2 or even 4 matches that got a mercy win in 30 seconds after landing but 5. 5 matches where the game is over before I can get killed or get a kill. So that's fun. Glad I can even do the bounties. Matchmaking is "working as intended" as usual. Took me 3 days to do one characters mission simply because I can't get a game to last longer than 2 min. Seriously bungie put a punishment for quiting matches and stop loading us into 5v6 matches. If the player count is low then fix ur crucible.

What's worse is the kill tracker is garbage and is not counting all my rocket kills despite it being a 1v1 rocket kill. So pissed off right now. The entire quest steps to turn in tokens is bullshit. This is rng at its worst.
-
see that's the problem they don't have qa or solid playtests in bungo, they just write those "quest designs" on paper As they've shown on streams, they have dev console commands which allow them to add resources, skip to some points etc. etc. they don't even understand the grind because they never play their own game xD

12 RepliesBungie needs to 1) stop the B.S. quest just to hand in Iron Banner tokens. 2) Actually do something about people manipulating their network or better yet... just get dedicated servers! 3) Listen to the community that actually finances Your company, not some idiot on a YouTube channel.

2 RepliesEdited by tau-lepton: 12/27/2019 5:58:09 AMThank you all for the warnings. I just started on the shotgun part and equipped two shotguns. They both pull from energy ammo so I was getting two shots per spawn. Two shots then g to the open and dance and throw grenades and mekee. Typing this because we are down 23 to 6 on our way to two mercy games in a row. Played alitte, now 10 to 47. Miserable. I will not get to the rocket step Quiting iron banner.List I liked the sarcasm post Thanks for listening.
-
They aren’t even pretending to care at this point. This game is nothing more than a time wasting simulator.
-
The pinnacle bounties...smh....dropped in the same slot. All 4 of them..... W....T.....F???????????
-
12 Repliesjust dont do the quest? I almost ripped my hair out doing the shotgun step (i run double primary usually) it's not like it's even worth doing anyway.
-
1 ReplyBesides the bullsh1t of the quest, I have cleared 5 bounties for pinnacles .. guess what, 5 energy weapons .. The Bungie "system" has always been a joke, they just keep proving it to be so .. pointless being angry/salty about it, they don't listen anyway, but, keep removing pleasure from playing and yet more people will quit and go elsewhere ....

2 RepliesI completely agree the rocket launcher part has me so infuriated. That was a dumb move on their part to require something that requires heavy, pretty much any other weapon in the game can use something with alternative ammo type, if it would have been 10 precision sniper kills I’d have been happy, though I don’t like sniping but at least you can pretty regularly get ammo for them. So I agree this iron banner is dumb, just for a set of reworked armor
-
8 Replies10 Rocket launcher kills, are you kidding me. It’s bad enough that they choose a heavy weapon for the quest, but the fact that it’s a heavy only weapon and they want you to get 10 kills is absolutely asinine. Honestly that’s a complete spat to the face. Anymore it seems like they are just trying to see how far they can push the community.

1 ReplyLast IB I played 17 matches in a row where we got utterly annihilated, it was so much fun I decided to playing D2.

It’s what they do. You’ll get used to it....eventually.

33 RepliesHey, a reskinned argument!

I also don't agree with the quest line they created just so you can spend tokens, and create bounties that take us away from the actual objectives of the game. They also need to bring back the mode rotations (control, clash, supremacy, etc.) to bring some life back into this event

<auto response to negative feed back> "Bungie Support Team Here! We have heard your request and will forward it on to the Dev Team. We are all out of the Holidays and will let you know what they say. Actually we wont, like last year with the down with Eververse Threads. We will ignore you and you will keep buying our broken game. By the way, thank you for the Year End Bonus! Cheers!"
