Iron Banner Quest Unreasonable
Having both teams camp the heavy for rocket kills is ridiculous. It makes the game mode tedious and boring.

1 ReplyI did the quest with my Warlock and then my Titan. The 2nd time I used the Bubble and St 14 technique So I'd like to apologise to everyone who joined my game.
-
Finished the quest two nights ago. Hopped on last night for a bit just for the hell of it. I had a blast without chasing a crappy bounty.

20 RepliesIt was fine on paper. Bungie just overlooked the fact that people would try to get it all done ASAP. As opposed to doing it slowly across the season
-
Well 200+ token and nothing to do with them. Wish I'd known at the start. Bonehead move bungie.
-
Agreed. It was tedious. And the reward really wasn't worth the effort.

Edited by Quaddity: 12/31/2019 4:20:26 AMAt least make the game mode clash. Having it be control and then forcing the players to camp heavy the whole match is just bad design. It seemed like everyone was on the rocket step this morning. Then on top of it rockets tend to fly right through people or just not even damage them on direct hits.

Agree..., it’s the best way to find another game over destiny..., lack of innovation equals irrational quests, iron banner was my best part of crisol, but reach rewards like this way..., ten kills by rocket luncher???, am done, no more iron banner, maybe no more crisol, probably no more destiny, i expect really more than the anual pass than the same scenarios, bye.

9 RepliesThe rocket launcher quest is an absolute sh|t show. #removetherocketlauncherkillsstep

I’ve been stuck on this step for two days so far- can’t get near the heavy, even with friends helping. What a good way to ruin my favorite game mode.

1 ReplyIf you are on a titan use the wall barrier and put it infront of the ammo. It will keep everyone out as it damages enemies and it won't let them loot it. It is a dick move but necessary.
-
The whole quest is trash, and needs to be jettisoned from the game. Yet another change that literally no one was asking for.
-
After finishing those 4 bounties and only 4 rocket launcher kills. I’m done for the meantime. Until next IB again. I have the whole season to complete that quest. No point in continuing the stress for the remainder of the year.

[quote]Having both teams camp the heavy for rocket kills is ridiculous. It makes the game mode tedious and boring.[/quote] Stupidest quest ever. Let’s have 12 people chase one brick every 2 and half minutes

I did it on all 3, it was very much tedious and boring. Any quest objectives that are counter to the game mode's objectives shouldn't be put in. It was hard enough to get people to capture zones before giving them an actual reason to not care. And as minor a difference winning makes, it does make a 5 token to 3 difference.

1 ReplyYou should be able to hand in tokens without completing the quest. The armor is reskinned low roll anyways.

Bungie really fkd this up.

4 RepliesI remember when this game used to be fun and not a second job.

1 ReplyI feel like it wasn't too well thought out. Hell I did all 3 quests this week though. Iron Banner matches used to be about [i]winning[/i], but this season it's all about shooting your rocket as soon as you get hard.
-
Agree. At the very least don't make it so I can't turn in my tokens. Just don't care to camp heavy.
-
1 ReplyI did it on all 3 characters, it's annoying and could do with changing imo. Might be worth having some rotating pve style modifiers like specialist or heavyweight available for Iron Banner, just to change it up a bit (these modifiers in this case would give heavy/special ammo a chance to drop on kills and zone captures. Would be cool to see the no radar one as well)
-
2 RepliesAll of the quest requirements should have been available all at once so it wouldn't bottleneck people into doing this. I cant believe nobody at Bungie had the foresight to make it this way.
-
I have stopped playing IB. It’s not fun anymore. Both teams are camping at the heavy ammo. They are not playing the objectives anymore.
-
Then dont play it! You all know BungLe ONLY looks at numbers. So when you play it, it doesnt get fixed.

Edited by BornANew2020: 12/30/2019 3:36:32 PMThings need to change in iron banner. First off if you have a quest in game that forces you to use a certain loadout everyone should have a set load out for that game mode or make quest steps engaging and making you play as a team and the objectives. Iron banner extra dmg needs to be capped at 970 highest light level obtainable by gear. If you do a power weapon only quest step then you need to have 2 power crates either side of map and only 2 crate spawn. Iron banners needs to rotate to clash once in a while. Or get rid of the quest and just keep pinnacle bounties and give us daily bounties for powerful loot. Edit: I had another idea give the kills with (insert weapon) here team kills with that weapon type not individual.

6 RepliesEdited by DirtiestQBizzy: 12/30/2019 3:02:41 PMI have to be honest here. That quest step is stupid and just makes playing not so much fun, being as you're forced to make heavy your primary goal, especially considering you only get 1 rocket. That said, I did it on all 3 characters, and I think it took one character 5 games, the other 2 were done in less. Now to be fair, I was hawking the heavy. Claim first zone, go hang around heavy and either claim it myself, or eliminate the other team trying to claim it, or just after they claimed it and pick up their dropped bricks (because you know they will be there). Look at the time remaining and the respawn timer, do math, play then come back around 15 seconds til spawn and repeat. I hadn't even checked forums before this, so I was unaware that this was even a big complaint (other than me -blam!- to my clan mates about how not fun this step was). I feel this step needs to be changed, but I also feel like the level of outrage is way disproportionate at the same time. Perhaps make rocket kills count before you are on that step?...or make teammate rocket kills count for everyone...or give us a primary rocket launcher ^.~

If Bungie is sadistic enough to do this AGAIN after the last mess they made with the IB quest, do you really think they care what we have to say about it? Bungie is just doing their thing now. I have to say, while I disagree with most of their decisions, I’m glad they’re at least picking a side. Even if that side feels more and more like trolling their own players.
