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)

2 RepliesOnly part I disliked was shotguns, I never use shotguns I focus my efforts on shutting shotgunners down. When I did the pursuit on my Warlock the Lord of Wolves counted for shotgun kills and when I tried it on my Hunter it didn't count so I had to use a garbage rolled shotty.
-
5 RepliesIf your team fights for the heavy spawn, and you utilize heavy properly (Go for multi kills) it’s not that hard at all. Maybe try Wardcliff coil? This quest is extremely easier than the previous ones

1 ReplyEdited by dien411: 12/25/2019 7:00:15 PMHow the heck am I supposed to do the final blows using a shotgun with 1 bullet using the Ikelos shotgun? Who came up with this lame quest??? What a joke.

Edited by Ido X: 12/25/2019 11:22:48 PMAgree 100% they suck at making quests for Iron Banner. All it does is make people focus on Heavy instead of objective and when they don't get it leave match. It's faster to spawn into new match than waiting for Heavy tome up again.

9 RepliesScout rifle - Jade Rabbit. It’s literally Not Forgotten with more range.

Did that once got burned Not again
-
it's terrible!! removing pvp completely would be the best!! agree on the middle finger.
-
2 RepliesWhy the heck can’t Bungie just list the entire steps of the quest & you gain the kills needed over the length of the games played (so gain 20-30 shotgun kills across the total, instead of having to play 2-3 games solely using Shitguns (I never use shotguns in PvP, or in fact PvE ....the last time was in D2Y1? for the Chaperone Quest) It’s the same with the Season 8/9 quests for strikes ....you gain 400000 points, to then have it move to stage 2 - 1 million points....and then there’s a stage fookin 3!

1 ReplyRemember challenging ib bounties like get 10 kills without dieing. All the bounties these days should say "just play for a bit"
-
4 RepliesD1 iron banner was the best version to be fair
-
3 RepliesIn OG Destiny I ignored pulse rifles until some dumb quest forced me to get a bunch of kills with them. I pulled out a Nirwen's Mercy that had been collecting dust and just started slaying. I never looked back. That's what these quests are for. Plus, it's the Iron Banner. It's all about proving yourself. Also, if you can't get scout or shotgun kills what on earth are you doing?
-
You get a nice emblem after you put up with all the BS. That’s the Bungie Merry Xmas to the player base.
-
Pinnacle grind was proven pointless with the launch of this season. I’ve already acquired all the mods & enhanced mods. I already have a solid set of armor with good stats... Without having an iron banana ritual weapon to chase there is nothing I need/want from it so no point in playing. Sorry for anyone willing to put themselves through that though. Some advice would be if you aren’t a shotgunner try lord of wolves and it probably goes w/o saying that if you want easy rocket kills use wardcliff 👍
-
1 Replywell i just deleted the quest and ib coins. -blam!- iron banner. i enjoyed it less than the grind for recluse
-
I don’t see why they didn’t just make the final step linear fusion rifle kills. Fighting for heavy was painful but fun and hilarious at times with titan bubble and watch the persistent opposite team try to kill you.
-
One character per iron banner event for me dont fancy losing my sanity again especially over a game
-
This rocket launcher kills quest is the biggest joke as of yet big fu for this almost makes me wanna quit.
-
Edited by PJSweet: 12/25/2019 7:24:10 PMSeriously 10 rocket kills? What a joke, this game becomes more tedious everyday. It's so brain dead, it ruins the game mode and everyone just camps heavy now.
-
Couldn’t agree more. Crucible was already a joke to me, and now we have the rocket launchers kills to deal with. I’ve never been so pissed off about an Iron Banner.
-
4 RepliesI'm not super good at PVP as it is, but now I'm actually being a detriment to my team because I have to Camp heavy for Rocket kills. And I have to do it because if I don't I can't cash in my tokens.
-
1 ReplyThe Rocket Launcher Part of the Quest is absolute bullshit. The rest is ok, but kills with a power weapon... ruined the ib totally for me . Especially because i have to do this 3 times...
-
Seriously foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo rocket launcher kills like the holidays aren’t bad enough with my broken ass family
-
What sucks too is the final step incentivizes not playing the objective. Once i got to the rocket kills i spend more time trying to secure heavy than play the zones. Its stupid, and i still need ti do it one more time...
-
I have completed this quest two times and seriously contemplating skipping it all together on my 3rd character. I personally think the idea of a Iron Banner quest is stupid. Just having bounties to complete is good enough. The Rocket kills part just pisses me off to no end. I normally don’t pick up heavy ammo and just play to complete bounties and have fun. This step changes how I approach the match and it becomes a sweat match real quick. I dislike playing like that. There is nothing like 12 people camping heavy. Hell, it might be a good idea to not complete it on one character so I know all the pinnacle drops will be weapons.

Edited by MightyJandal: 12/25/2019 9:44:42 PMThe whole thing blows chunks...seasonal IB armour that will be useless in few months then we have to do it all over again to get the exact same crap. What they should’ve done was make the quests for just ornaments for each set each season. I already have high stat rolled IB armour 1.0, why should i grind to get the same sets every damn season ontop of having limited vault space over 3 characters weapons and armour sets?
-
Edited by JadeRabbitEmperor: 12/25/2019 9:58:31 PMYep, a total shit show. I can't even get to Heavy never mind get a kill with it. I've done close to 30 games over the last few hours. Gotten 9/10 kills but most times I'm ethers killed right as it comes up, or right after I get the ammo. The last match I got shoulder charged, survived somehow but got thrown off the map before I could pull the trigger and a few times id get the kill but it wouldn't count because cluster bombs apparently doesn't count ... so i had to switch to Worldcliff Edit: And I just got 3 kills with world cliff ... didn't count .... I'm getting so frustrated with this crap
